Together, they offer a refreshing and indulgent experience that is both comforting and uplifting. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence or a sweet afternoon snack, lemon raspberry muffins will brighten your day with their burst of flavor and irresistible charm....

I grew up eating lentils at least once a week. My mom thought very highly of lentils, beans, and legumes. Growing up, lentils with meat such as chicken or beef was a very common dish at home and I loved it very much. This is my version of my mom’s curry. It’s made with curry powder instead of her long list of Indian spices. I am using dried yellow lentils, but any lentils such as red or green would work as well....

Smoothies are one thing my husband and I disagree on. See I think that a smoothie constitutes an entire meal. He thinks that is bordering on insane and rates somewhere up there with eating Jelly Bellies for breakfast. Which, by the way, is something I have done many times. Pear just steals my heart. And oh my gosh the buttered popcorn?? Yesss. Oh stop it, you have totally taken a few bites of cold leftover pizza or birthday cake first thing in the morning....

I’ve never been a real big juice-type-drink person. I’m basically a water addict. But I think I’ve figured out a part of why that is. The only time growing up when I’d have freshly made homemade juice of any kind was when I visited my grandparents in Sand Diego. Well actually they live in Vista, down the street and around the corner from SD. But close enough to know that “going into town” means heading into the big city....

Packed FULL of flavor and easy to make in your slow cooker! And a little history lesson about the day a molasses flash flood hit the streets of Boston. Seriously. It was 95 years ago. A massive storage tank (50 feet tall/90 feet wide) holding sticky thick molasses suddenly burst. It sent nearly 2.5 MILLION GALLONS of molasses down the streets of Boston! The highest wave of molasses reached 25 feet at its peak and came rushing at a speed of 35 miles per hour....

Have you been enjoying the amazing desserts this summer? We are in the mood for the mini version of things so we can do more social distancing. I love serving mini desserts when I have guests, so there is less for me to do in terms of cutting and serving. Why make mini cheesecakes? These are perfect crowd-pleasers and a lot less hassle when entertaining. At a party, you already have so much to take care of, so slicing and serving a large cheesecake is one less thing to do with these mini cheesecakes....

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where’s the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked? (scratching my head) Have you ever stopped to really think about this nursery rhyme? So here’s the thing. The peppers Peter picked couldn’t have already been pickled at the time he picked them. I mean, unless horticulture was vastly different in the early 19th century than it is today, my guess is that pepper plants weren’t self-pickling....

I’ve wanted to try making mayonnaise for a while now, but I’ve been intimidated by it. That is, until I ran across a post here that described a one jar method for making mayonnaise, there was a link to a video as well. It sounded ridiculously easy, so I gave it a try and it worked. This mayonnaise has a distinct olive oil flavor, but we like it. I’ll be honest here and just state that I prefer the taste of Hellman’s mayo with a clear egg flavor, but this is a great tasting, healthy, preservative free substitute....

Taking a teeny tiny walk down memory lane today… do you mind? So maybe this is a little bit weird but I love finding out what kinds of things people eat for “snacks”. Particularly what people had for a snack when they were growing up. Chips and salsa were a daily snack staple in my house. But another favorite was to grab a piece of wheat bread – not toasted – and top it with cold slices of colbyjack cheese....

Every time I make the Japanese milk bread, it ruins me from making any other bread. I get so tempted to add the tangzhong in every bread I make. If you’ve never made this Hokkaido milk bread, I highly recommend you try it at least once. The soft, light and airy texture of the bread is as light as a cloud. What is tangzhong? Well, it’s a Japanese technique called yukone (yudane) using a roux that’s made with flour and water (or milk)....
