Apple butter is a sweet, silky spread made with slow-cooked apples and spices. Think applesauce, but thicker and much more concentrated. It’s similar to the consistency of jam with a rich and intense apple flavor. In this easy apple butter recipe, we use a slow cooker to slowly cook fresh apples until really soft. Use homemade apple butter to spread onto toast, English muffins and biscuits, or use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and oatmeal....
Mounds of cheese melted into a velvety, creamy sauce and tossed with pasta. Yes, please! This incredible baked mac and cheese is high on my favorites list. I love the easy cheese sauce! I’m so excited for you to try this easy recipe. Mac and cheese has always held a special place in my heart. When I’m short on time, I use our easy stovetop recipe. You might also enjoy our pumpkin mac and cheese, perfect for fall....
Our family loves this garlic butter shrimp scampi recipe. It’s so quick to make and tastes incredible. Serve these garlicky shrimp as an appetizer, with toasted or grilled bread or over pasta. This is a classic recipe for shrimp scampi. If you love the classic but want to try a fun twist, try our cilantro lime butter shrimp! Key Ingredients Shrimp: Use fresh, high-quality jumbo or large shrimp. You can keep the tails on or remove them, whichever you prefer....
It’s pumpkin spice season! Though I’ll never be the kind of person who runs out to get a pumpkin spice latte on the first day of fall, I do enjoy a thick slice of pumpkin bread or a puffy pumpkin muffin at this time of year. When I make these cozy fall treats, I always use homemade pumpkin pie spice instead of buying a spice mix in a jar. Why?...
This roasted rainbow carrots recipe lives up to its name. Seriously, how often do you see white, yellow, orange, purple, pink, and green all hanging out in a single dish?! Always, but especially throughout the fall and winter, I aim to add as much color to my meals as I can. These rainbow carrots make it easy! My favorite thing about this recipe (aside from all the colors) is that it uses the carrot tops as well as the carrots themselves....
Who else loves yellow squash? Like zucchini, it starts to take over my fridge at this point in the summer, but I really can’t complain. This tender, sunny summer squash is versatile, nourishing, and super easy to cook. I love to grill it, roast it, and even eat it raw, but lately, I’ve been hooked on this sautéed yellow squash recipe. Yellow squash itself has a mild flavor, so I toss it with a bright herb oil as soon as it comes off the heat....
How to Make the Best Chicken Caprese with Juicy Chicken We make this Caprese chicken regularly, especially when tomatoes are in season. It’s simple, fresh and takes full advantage of three of our favorite ingredients: tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. Say goodbye to boring dry chicken breasts. This recipe makes chicken that’s unbelievably tender, juicy and flavorful. It’s easy, too. Scroll down to see three easy tips for making it best!...
The first time I had spaghetti squash, it was served with a big scoop of store-bought marinara sauce mixed in. It was slimy and goop-y and decidedly not spaghetti-like. About a month ago, ditching the pasta idea completely, I planned a post for bbq spaghetti squash tacos. I have a super cute photo to prove that the meal existed, but the recipe ended in total disaster. So, long story short, I’ve learned that I prefer my spaghetti squash as simple as possible and most importantly: sauce-less....
While cauliflower pizza might not resemble actual pizza dough, cauliflower couscous (in my opinion) really does mimic the texture of actual couscous remarkably well. If you were waiting for a vegan recipe with a few less carbs – here it is. In fact, this might be just a few chickpeas and a couple of currants away from paleo. (Although I’m not an expert on paleo rules so don’t quote me on that)....
A few weeks ago, I had dinner with my friend Grace, and she brought me the most delicious homemade blackberry jam. Since making jam isn’t really my jam, I asked her if she would come over and share a recipe for the blog. I love peaches, and they were in peak season, so we decided on spicy peach jam. And last weekend, we jammed. Well, technically, she jammed. I watched....
The ingredients in this muffin recipe are super simple and (almost) all are healthy too. It’s not often that I bake up something like this so I am totally savoring this moment. Check notes below for some easy substitution ideas. Baking up a batch of this and taking one to work every day for evening snack was probably my best food-related idea in recent times. Too bad I am lazy to follow this through plan every weekend....
Hold your pumpkin bread – I have one last super summery recipe before this season really ends. You can use any summer squash you like here (zucchini or yellow squash are both great), but I found pattypan squash at the farmers market and had to try it! I considered making a totally different pattypan squash recipe by stuffing and baking it, but I didn’t want to turn the oven on....
How to Bake Squash in the Oven Not only is this recipe one of our favorites, it is very simple to make. Peel, then cut the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. (By the way, our friend, Wendi actually doesn’t peel her squash before roasting – she says that the roasting time is enough to make the skin tender and it actually adds great texture). Tumble the squash cubs onto a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, maple syrup and Sriracha chili sauce....
This tagliatelle recipe is ideal for this time of year, when spears of asparagus are slim and tender and cool days are still mixed in with the warm ones. The chewy tagliatelle pasta ribbons and a light cashew cream sauce make it hearty and comforting, while spring veggies, lemon, and an abundance of herbs make it super fresh and bright. We usually make this recipe with dried tagliatelle pasta, and the wide, al dente egg noodles are fantastic with the tangy sauce and tender veggies....
