I almost called these, the ultimate most incredibly soft and chewy stuffed with salted caramel and wonderfully perfect cookies on the planet. But I ran out of room and it was sort of mouthful. Which is kind of an issue because my mouth was also stuffed with cookie so there just wasn’t any spare room for a title like that. Salted caramel chocolate chip cookies is gonna have to do....
Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies If you’ve ever been lucky enough to eat a Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie from La Grande Orange Cafe, you might possibly appreciate my enthusiasm over these cookies.

I may have become a wee bit obsessed with recreating this Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie at home, but it paid off in an amazing new cookie recipe....
This tortellini recipe is so irresistible, the whole family was stealing bites straight out of the pan on the stove. One pan meals are huge right now.

Ohhhhh how I love a good quesadilla. I say “good” like I’m picky about my quesadillas and hold them to a high standard but if we’re being totally honest, I really don’t. Give me two tortillas filled with melty cheese and I’m a happy camper. When I was younger – much younger – and wouldn’t even make myself a ham n’ cheese sandwich (mom, it tastes sooo much better when you make it…) there was one thing I would routinely cook for myself....
Have you been using your slow cooker lately? I use mine all year round but I aways bust it out a few more times per week when the weather cools off. Lately I’ve been slightly obsessed with using it for sides as well as main dishes. In the case of these taquitos, it’s kind of killing two birds with one stone because in my book, taquitos make perfect appetizers or main dishes....
Rich, satisfying and tummy-filling, this Southern-style soup is slowly simmered with smoked ham hocks and topped with slices of spicy andouille sausage. Kidney beans are extremely healthy. Besides having lots of cholesterol-lowering fiber (one cup of cooked beans has almost 14 grams) and being a good source of protein, kidney beans are also very high in antioxidants. You may be surprised to know that kidney beans have more antioxidants than cultivated blueberries....

Chanterelle mushrooms. One of the most delectable of all mushrooms. It is described as having a fruity smell, similar to that of apricots, and a mildly peppery taste. Chanterelles have graced dinner plates as far back as the 1500’s, but it wasn’t until the 1700’s that they gained widespread recognition as a culinary delicacy in French cuisine. During the 18th century they were most commonly eaten among nobility. Fortunately they are widely accessible today and are harvested and enjoyed throughout many countries....
Is is too soon for smoothies and drinks of the semi-frozen variety?? I’ve been craving fresh fruit lately like it’s going out of style. Happens every year around this time after a long winter of subpar, out of season produce, and doesn’t end until… well I guess it never really ends, but it sort of lessens in intensity by October. Now if we’re being totally honest, you make an orange julius with frozen concentrate… not actual fresh orange juice (unless you are super awesome and squeeze fresh oranges in your spare time in which case I am mega jealous and you should invite me over for a homemade fresh orange juice orange julius pronto) BUT we are not having just any old orange julius today, we are having a strawberry orange julius and it....

A hummingbird cake is a classic Southern cake made with pineapple and banana in an oil-based batter with chopped pecans. Some make it with coconut and others add some grated carrots too! In the US, it is served with a delicious cream cheese frosting. I believe a hummingbird cake recipe was first submitted to Southern Living magazine in February 1978 in Greensboro, North Carolina by Mrs. L.H.Wiggins. It then became one of the most popular recipes of the time....
I served this with the Honey Soy Chicken and my whole family enjoyed the meal. This is a very easy dish, the amounts for the spices are approximate, use your own judgment and adjust the amounts according to your family’s tastes. Turmeric is the star in this dish, despite the small amount used. It takes just a pinch of turmeric to brighten the dish to a lovely yellow and add just a hint of something unexpected....

Somehow that wasn’t nearly as easy as I thought it might be. After watching several batches of cookies flatten out and either fall apart or become way too crispy for my liking, I put the idea aside for a little while. This past weekend, I decided to try again and these cookies delivered all of my wishes. Soft and chewy, (even after a few days! and yes, it was hard to make a few of them last that long just to see how they would taste), with the perfect amount of chocolate and not-too-sweet cookie, this is going to be a new favorite....
