If you love the combination of peanut butter and Nutella, these cookies are for you! They’re soft, chewy, and packed with nutty, chocolatey goodness. With a perfect balance of sweetness and richness, these cookies are a must-bake for any dessert lover. Enjoy them with a glass of milk or straight from the baking sheet—no judgment here!
Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts meet the bold flavors of teriyaki and a creamy sriracha aioli in this irresistible dish. The sprouts are tossed in an umami-packed teriyaki glaze before being roasted to perfection, creating crispy edges and a deep caramelized flavor. A drizzle of sriracha aioli adds just the right kick, balancing the sweetness with a touch of tanginess. Whether you’re serving these as a side dish or enjoying them as a snack, they’re guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
Fresh, juicy strawberries meet rich white chocolate infused with matcha for a beautifully balanced treat. The sweetness of the chocolate complements the earthy depth of matcha, creating a perfect harmony of flavors. Each strawberry is dipped to perfection, then finished with a delicate drizzle for an extra touch of elegance. Whether you’re serving these at a gathering or enjoying them as a special snack, they’re as delicious as they are stunning!
A comforting bowl of alphabet soup that’s as fun to eat as it is delicious! Packed with tender pasta letters, colorful veggies, and a savory broth, it’s the perfect cozy meal for kids and grown-ups alike.
Sometimes you just need something simple and comforting. Enter my curry ramen hack. Quick, easy, and hits the spot every time.
Toowoomba noodles! This dish brings together a rich, creamy sauce with garlic, shrimp, and bacon, all inspired by Toowoomba pasta—a Korean creation named after an Australian city. It’s savory, a little spicy, and totally satisfying. For an extra kick, I used Shin Ramyun noodles to bring some heat and bold flavor!
This comforting Vietnamese Opo Squash Soup (Canh Bầu) highlights the mild sweetness of trái bầu, or opo squash / calabash squash in English. Traditionally, it's made with shrimp for added flavor, but my mom is vegetarian, so this is our family's version. Simple, nourishing, and packed with fresh herbs, this dish as as wholesome as it is delicious. Perfect for a light meal or as a side dish to a larger Vietnamese spread.
Can’t decide between pizza and mac and cheese? This pizza mac and cheese lets you enjoy the best of both worlds! Creamy, cheesy mac and cheese meets the bold flavors of pepperoni pizza in this ultimate comfort food mashup. Plus, I added some leftover chicken tenders for an extra hearty twist. It’s perfect for cozy nights at home, family dinners, or sharing with friends. Get ready to dig into a dish that’s sure to become a new favorite!
We had a Halloween party this past weekend, and among the spread was a marinated tomato and mozzarella salad. I shaped the mozzarella into little skulls for a fun (and slightly spooky!) touch. Simple and flavorful, with a hint of Halloween spirit!
In celebration of National Moldy Cheese Day, I whipped up a delicious Cambozola Mac and Cheese. Cambozola is one of my all-time favorite cheeses. The sharpness of the cambozola adds a unique, tasty twist to classic mac and cheese, balancing the richness of the sauce with a deep, savory flavor. Perfect for any cheese lover looking to indulge in something special!
Sometimes, the best meals are the simplest ones. This cabbage and egg stir-fry is one of those dishes that comes together fast but still delivers on flavor. Paired with fried rice and a drizzle of sriracha, it’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner when you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
These Cheesy Meatball Puff Pastry Bites are a nod to my husband’s burger cravings - recreated in a flakier, more snack-able form and perfect for sharing!
