Not your typical Albondigas Soup recipe, our version features meatballs that are positively PACKED with flavor, a colorful lineup of veggies, and an unforgettably rich and delicious broth! It all started with an open can of chipotles en adobo in my fridge. That and the fact that I had pulled some frozen ground beef out the night before to thaw. Both needed to be used and, well, this new version of Albondigas Soup was born!...

My mom makes the best raspberry jam. It’s actually called “Mock-Raspberry”. Don’t take that the wrong way, this jam truly does have raspberries in it. Lots of them. But it also has another very unsuspecting ingredient. Guess what it is. Come on just guess. Okay I’ll tell you. Peaches. It absolutely still tastes like raspberry jam, I promise. It’s just…. better. Peaches are my favorite fruit so I totally believe that peaches make anything better....

I love Enchiladas and Quesadillas. I have already shared a recipe of Roasted Veggie enchilada and Beans and cheese enchiladas. I always wanted to try the sweet version of Enchilada. Problem was, we don’t eat too much sweet dishes. This week, we invited our friends for dinner and I had some leftover tortillas that were reaching their expiration date. So thought let’s make Apple Pie Enchiladas. They Loved this dessert and us too....

If you’ve never had endives before, let this be your first experience. And if you have had them before, be prepared to fall head over heels. This dish is very easy to prepare and you can serve it as a side dish or as a light entree with some crusty bread and a side salad. I honestly can’t even express how delicious these baked endives are. The flavor is beyond incredible and you’re going to score points with whomever you serve these to....

It’s creamy, tomato-y, and SO damn delicious. …seriously, you’ve got to try this one! Cherry tomatoes, garlic, and vegetables are roasted with a block of feta and seasoning to create a cheesy sauce. Add cooked pasta, spinach, and lots of basil and mix—and dinner is on the table in less than 45 minutes! About this Viral Dish If you are on Tik-Tok or Instagram, you’ve likely come across this now-viral baked feta pasta recipe by Finnish blogger Jenni Häyrinen....

Besan Ki what?? The name, yes the name. And it’s precisely the name that drew my attention to it in the first place and intrigued me enough to give this traditional Pakistani treat a try. If you had come across a sweet called “barfi”, wouldn’t you have wanted to try it for that very reason? Of course you would have! Daring adventures, culinary challenges…yes, we’re of like mind. And all I can say for Barfi is thank goodness I gave it a try!...

What is the best camera for cake photography & food photography? Over the last few years of cake decorating and food blogging; if there is one most important lesson I have learned is “good photos’ good photos,’ good photos’. No matter how awesome your cake or plate of food is; if you cannot get a good picture of it – it really does not do justice to your cake, to you as an artist or get picked up on social media by people looking for the recipe....

And I’m happy to say that this pasta is infinitely tastier than the boxes of mac and cheese that used to have a home in our pantry. Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese I’ve tried countless mac and cheese recipes over the years and never found one that I truly loved. This recipe though is absolutely foolproof and it turns out wonderfully creamy every time. I am so very happy to have a new favorite dinner and my kids are pretty excited about it too....

For more amazing Thanksgiving recipes, head on over to my posts for Slow Cooker Glazed Ham, Thanksgiving stuffing, Buttery Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Baked Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for so many reasons. Of course, because of the food, and the family and friends, but also because it kicks off all of the holiday season festivities and I’m so giddy for the holidays. But, practically speaking, Thanksgiving is also a holiday full of planning and organization and trying to figure out how to get all of the food ready at the same time with limited kitchen space....

You wouldn’t think that it could get any better than your typical easy sweet potato casserole recipe, but that’s where I beg to differ. Adding in candied pecans is where it’s at. Don’t be put off by the title of this dish, either. I’m sure it sounds like it’s a lot of work, but trust me, it isn’t! In fact, half the work can be done by a slow cooker while you’re busy doing other things (like making this easy Beef Broth Brown Gravy)....

Easter, a joyous celebration of renewal and hope, marks the arrival of spring with its vibrant blooms and warmer days. It’s a time for family gatherings, festive decorations, and delightful treats. From colorful Easter eggs to fluffy bunnies, this holiday brings a sense of joy and new beginnings to people of all ages. Moist and fluffy, coconut cupcakes are a delightful treat that captures the essence of tropical indulgence. With their rich coconut flavor and tender crumb, these cupcakes are a perfect balance of sweetness and texture....

Peach Blueberry Cobbler Nothing will ever beat the experience of biting into a super ripe summer peach and having the juice run down your chin, but this blueberry peach cobbler is a pretty close second. This cobbler captures the essence of the best of summer produce under a puffy, tender, sweet cobbler crust. Peaches and blueberries are delightful on their own, but combined, they’re even greater than the already appreciable sum of their parts....

Brioche French Toast is a delightful twist on the classic French toast recipe, elevating the breakfast or brunch experience to a whole new level of indulgence. What sets it apart is the use of brioche bread, a rich and buttery French bread known for its tender crumb and slightly sweet flavor. The brioche bread slices are dipped into a luscious mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, and aromatic vanilla extract, resulting in a custardy and flavorful coating....

Raise your hand if you’re loving the autumn vibes. However, autumn doesn’t mean the only pumpkin. So here I am sharing a lovely salad made with butternut squash, spinach, pecans, cranberries, and pomegranate. This salad is everything but not boring!! If you think salads are boring, you definitely haven’t had a good salad yet. Salads are a great side dish for the holiday table, especially the salads I am showcasing today....

A few months after my husband and I were married, we took a trip to Boston. First off – huge fan of Boston. HUGE FAN. That was one of my favorite trips ever ever everrrrrr. We took a bus tour (which normally I’d not think was very fun but when touring the old victorian district, it’s a must) and we had a few stops along the way. At one of our stops I spotted a candy shop across the way....

For more amazing soup recipes, head on over to my popular posts for Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup, and Best Ever Broccoli Cheese Soup. I know, I know, at first read you might think carrot and coriander soup? Really? Doesn’t maybe sound like something you’d typically eat in a soup. But let me tell you – it’s sooooooo sooooo very good. The carrots are cooked in butter until tender with onions and garlic in vegetable broth and then pureed with cream before being mixed together with all the amazingly yummy spices like coriander, cumin, lemon, and cilantro....

You can always try these Green Chile Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas as well. Enchiladas are my go-to way to feed a crowd. Almost everyone likes them and the heat level can be adjusted for any tastes. Most enchilada recipes can easily be doubled or tripled and the amount of added work is minimal. Even when I’m just cooking for my own crew, I double the recipe and stash a pan in the freezer for a future meal....

These are the burgers I told you about a few weeks ago. The ones I made with those amazing Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries & Fry Sauce. Those fries were really really good. So crispy. So flavorful. So easy. Which makes them ten times better. But back to the burgers. I mentioned when I made the fries that I also made these seriously tasty burgers, my first-ever burger recipe in fact....

About these tarts Can you think of a dessert more simpler than tartlets? Often, when I entertain, I choose to serve mini-tarts because they are pretty to look at and easy to serve. So, this is a semi-homemade kinda thing. First, you buy the tart shells readymade, which is so easy to find at any grocery store. However, if you plan to make homemade mini-tarts calculate and extra 45 minutes of active time....

I’ve been watching the news recently, and it’s kind of getting scary out there. We have a hot summer—40C plus. The humidity is killing us. Kids don’t want to get out. It’s supposed to be summer weather, but oh no… there is no way I’m sending the kids out to the beach in this weather. So, we are surviving on cold drinks and ice cream. The kids seem to have a license to drink these treats without permission....
