If you LOVE authentic cannolis but don’t have anywhere near you to get them, then this recipe will become your new best friend! The shells achieve a golden brown perfection, providing a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the smooth, sweet filling. I used to eat cannoli all the time when I lived in New Jersey. They’re one of my favorite treats and the good ones were easy to find at bakeries nearby....

If you have decided you prefer homemade bread over storebought, we’re here for you! Some of our other favorites are Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas, Homemade Brioche Hamburger Buns, Easy Rosemary Focaccia Bread, and Soft Garlic Parmesan Homemade Breadsticks. Homemade Garlic Naan Bread I just posted the other day about one of our favorite foods ever, Chicken Tikka Masala, but there is a second part of that meal that cannot go unmentioned – the warm, buttery garlic naan bread that accompanies it on the side....

Benefits of Hemp Hearts I’ve been regularly using hemp seeds, which are often known as hemp hearts, for a few years to add nutrition to the food that I make for myself and my kids. They don’t require any advance preparation and are mild in flavor—so they are an easy addition to sweet and savory foods. They have all 10 essential amino acids, which is rare for a plant-based protein....

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Almost 20 years ago I was spending one of my first Christmases away from my family while serving as a missionary for my church. A family from our congregation invited the missionaries over for a gingerbread house decorating party and it was so much fun! It was the first time I had ever decorated a real gingerbread house and I was put in charge of making the royal icing to act as the cement glue for the houses....

If I am being completely honest, I feel like such a gourmet whenever I order something off a menu that has aioli on it. It’s silly, I know, when in reality, aioli is pretty much just a fancy name for what is essentially just flavored mayonnaise, thinned out a bit with a little acid like lemon juice and with fresh herbs or spices stirred in. If you look up aioli recipes online, you will find lots of recipes that basically tell you to do just that – stir in a few extra ingredients to a cup of mayo and call it good....

The combination of flavors and textures are just perfect in this dish, which is also known as Katsukarē. Trust me, when you cook up a big batch, you’re gonna have everyone asking for seconds. So, make sure you’ve got plenty to go around! I love all types of curries here at GypsyPlate. From fiery Indian Vindaloo to slightly sweet South African Curry to boldly flavorful Jamaican Curry, there’s a whole world of curry varieties out there....

This dish is an absolute crowd-pleaser, perfect for those warm evenings when I want something flavorful and satisfying. The beef short ribs, cut flanken style, soak up a sweet and savory marinade packed with soy sauce, brown sugar, and a touch of fruity pear. After marinating overnight, these ribs hit the grill, sizzling and caramelizing to perfection in just a few minutes. Whether I’m serving them up with lettuce, sesame seeds, or some refreshing cucumbers, this dish always brings a new flavor to my table and keeps everyone coming back for more....

For as long as I can remember, Ricotta Cheesecake has been part of my life each spring. In my family, we actually call them “ricotta pie” and the recipe is a staple on our Easter recipes. This sort of ricotta cheesecake is a classic Italian treat, though they vary slightly. And fortunately, the one that my family makes is so simple—and has such fresh flavors from the addition of citrus....

Yes… I bet ya… you will keep on dunking into this bowlful. No wonder it has its undisputed place on any Levantine mezze platter and is beloved in many Arabic speaking countries. Move over hummus, moutabal is on its way!! Don’t you agree that many times appetizers are the best part of the meal? A platter of kebabs, arrays of salads or different dips. All over the world, they are devoured surrounded by the company of loved ones....

This is one of my favorite cut-out cookie recipes because it is so unique and you never see them anywhere else. It’s also one of the cookies that I grew up with and that my family made every year for Christmas, along with regular cut-out sugar cookies. We love these chewy sugar cookies and I know you will too! I’m not a huge fan of oatmeal for breakfast, but I sure do love it in dessert form!...

Pumpkin delight is one of those desserts that hits all the right notes. It all begins with a crunchy Biscoff cookie crust that adds the perfect blend of sweetness and spice. Then, there’s the no-bake cheesecake layer—rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. The pumpkin pudding layer is infused with pumpkin pie spice, adding warmth to each bite. And, of course, it’s all topped off with fluffy whipped cream, giving you that final, sweet touch!...

Pesto Pasta with Peas Okay, first things first: Yes, pesto is green. And yes, I know that sometimes is a no-go with kids. BUT it pairs so well with favorite foods like pasta that it has, in my experience, a high chance of being accepted by the kids. It adds such a yummy flavor to this easy recipe that we make it all the time. I keep a stash of Spinach Pesto in my freezer (or you can simply buy pesto at the store) so I can make this for hot lunches for kids to send to school in a kids thermos or for easy meals to make at home....

I know firsthand that cooking winter squash can be a little intimidating and often actually challenging due to the thickness of the skin. But this method for making roasted spaghetti squash is both really straight forward and super easy. Instead of cutting the squash in half and roasting, we cut down on the cook time significantly by slicing the squash into rounds. This makes less surface area that needs to cook through and keeps the strands of the squash longer—to more resemble spaghetti....

You guys have to try this super easy, 10 ingredient, almost instant, same day vegan mozzarella cheese! This vegan cheese is super versatile. You can use it on pizza (recipe here), put it in stromboli (I especially love the texture of the cheese in this application), and it’s great in a hot or cold sandwich. You could even eat it plain with some crackers. It can be grated and also slices super well!...

Cornbread dressing can also be called stuffing, the name mainly depends on how you cook it (see more about this below!), and it’s long been a favorite part of our Thanksgiving dinner. This Southern Dressing Recipe will become a staple for your family! Every family member has their ‘thing’ they love and look forward to in the holiday season, especially when it comes to the food on Thanksgiving Day. For me and my husband, it’s the turkey dressing....

I love the taste of fried okra! The vegetable itself is mild, fresh, and slightly earthy tasting – sort of like a green bean – and the crunchy cornmeal coating on the outside is such a great compliment to the taste and texture of the okra. Sure, fried foods aren’t the healthiest, but even kids will be more open to exploring new tastes and eating vegetables if you fry them first!...

Strawberry Rice Krispies Treats are not only great in the summertime, but because this recipe is made with dried strawberries, they would be perfect any time of the year without having to worry about finding the perfect in-season strawberries. They would make a great Valentine’s Day dessert, birthday party, or just because. This recipe is really so simple and needs only one extra ingredient and that is freeze-dried strawberries. You are probably familiar with all the other ingredients if you dug into these gooey and crunchy treats as a kid....

I love the flavors of classic stuffed peppers, but the whole having to cook the filling and then bake it inside the peppers always seems like far too much work when I’m making dinner for my family on a weeknight. This skillet version uses similar ingredients so you wind up with the same flavor experience but serves them up in a deconstructed style for maximum flavor in a short amount of cooking time....
