This strawberry arugula salad is colorful and delicious! Classic fruit and cheese is complemented by peppery arugula and nutty almonds, and topped off with an easy honey balsamic vinaigrette.
This savory celery soup is full of bold, fresh celery flavor. The best part? A big stalk of celery contains just about 10 calories! So go ahead and make a big batch of this comforting, low-calorie celery soup for a filling veggie lunch or dinner.
This cherry tomato salad is undeniably simple, but that doesn’t mean it won’t blow your taste buds away. Cherry tomatoes are available year round, making this the perfect salad to make at any time of the year. It’s fresh, healthy, and you can assemble it in minutes with a quick and easy dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and flavorful herbs.
If you’ve never had a Waffle Cabin waffle before, you’re in for a treat. These waffles have a crunchy sugar coating on the outside and are soft and buttery on the inside. They smell like vanilla and taste like heaven. We’ve made several attempts to recreate these drool-worthy waffles at home and we’re so happy to finally be able to say that this is as close as it gets to the real deal!
This delicious butternut squash soup is silky, slightly sweet, and rich in butternutty flavor. It's so easy to make that it will become your new favorite recipe! All you need are an onion, butternut squash, potatoes, celery, and a carrot.
These quick and easy raspberry thumbprint cookies are the perfect cookies to make for any occasion. They’re soft, lightly sweet, and absolutely delicious! They also happen to be grain-free and gluten-free. I used raspberry jam, but feel free to experiment and use whatever jam you’d like!
These wedges are an instant crowd pleaser for any occasion. They’re crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside - just the way potato wedges should be. Serve them with ketchup or your favorite dip!
Sugar, spice, and everything nice - Lemon Ginger Zingers made by my smart cookie, Chris.
Bean there...ate that! In Vietnam, sweet soups or puddings are known as chè. This Vietnamese Mung Bean Dessert, called che dau xanh, is easily one of the most simple Vietnamese desserts to make. Mung beans are said to have cooling properties on the body and other health benefits, but I'm no doctor. To me, this is purely a yummy dessert that can be served hot, cold, or over crushed ice. All you need are 4 simple ingredients - mung beans, sugar, coconut milk, and water!
I'd make a vegetable joke, but you guys might not carrot all. Pickled carrots and daikon are a signature addition to Vietnamese dishes. If you've ever had Vietnamese food, you've probably caught a glimpse of this colorful condiment. These crunchy pickled vegetables are best known as an addition to banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), but they're a tasty snack all on their own and they also go well with spring rolls, vermicelli dishes, savory crepes...the list goes on!
This take on mizeria may not be perfectly true to its Polish roots, but my Polish boyfriend certainly approves! Made with crunchy, refreshing cucumbers and creamy sour cream, this cucumber salad is the perfect way to cool off and enjoy those last days of summer.
This jiggly, wiggly custard of silky, sweet deliciousness was adopted by the Vietnamese during the French colonization of Vietnam in the 19th century and is a common dessert. In northern Vietnam, it is known as bánh caramel, kem caramel or caramen and in southern Vietnam, it is known as bánh flan or kem flan. The difference between Vietnamese flan and European flan is Vietnamese flan is usually smaller and steamed rather than baked. Vietnamese flan also uses coconut as an ingredient and is drizzled with black coffee when served.
