Planning a summer cookout in the backyard? Be sure to check out these other reader favorites like Classic Potluck Broccoli Salad, Raspberry Pretzel Salad, and Classic Frog Eye Salad! This recipe has the potential to be the most divisive one I’ve posted here on House of Nash Eats. It seems to be one of those things you either love or you hate. I love it. My husband can’t stand the stuff....
Air Fryer Salmon Bites are delightfully crunchy on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside. They’re packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making this dish not only delicious but nutritious too! Salmon Bites are one of my favorite ways to enjoy salmon, whether it’s as a snack, appetizer, or part of a larger meal. They can be a unique addition to your holiday spread, but they’re also great for meal prepping for lunches or dinners for the busy week....
Dark Chocolate Halloween Chip Cookies Everybody loves these Dark Chocolate Halloween Chip Cookies and they are such easy Halloween cookies to make! Guys, October is seriously my favorite. The weather is perfect, fall is in the air, there are pumpkin patches and apple cider and hayrides, my birthday is halfway through the month, and Halloween is at the end of the month. And I LOVE Halloween. I have been holding off watching Hocus Pocus (the BEST Halloween movie) or posting Halloween recipes even though I have been itching to do both....
Everybody knows that when it comes to Fall food, there are a couple of heavy hitting flavors that will always be synonymous with the season – namely apple and pumpkin. I mean, I’ve already posted a couple of our favorites on here like Salted Caramel Apple Pie and Starbucks Copycat Twice Glazed Pumpkin Scones. But there are loads of other fruits and vegetables that really shine during this time of year but can be overlooked for their more renowned seasonal counterparts....
Baby Oatmeal Oatmeal has been a staple in our house even before I had kids, and I was so glad to learn that turning it into a version of baby oatmeal is crazy easy. Yes, you can buy baby oatmeal, but I find that it usually smells (and tastes) a little funny, and it can be expensive. This version of baby oatmeal, which is so easy to make and actually tastes like oatmeal, is a great homemade baby food option....
If you love copycat takeout recipes that you can make at home, be sure to also try our Sweet and Sour Pork, Easy Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Orange Chicken! And don’t forget the Egg Rolls! Go to any Chinese restaurant in the USA and you are going to find beef and broccoli somewhere on the menu. It’s classic, iconic fare and our little Rosie’s (age 3) favorite dish when we get Chinese food – she hoards it like a dragon hoarding treasure....
Fruit Cups We love the convenience of store-bought fruit cups and have them often—but I have found that my toddler LOVES this homemade version and the method is so quick and easy that these have become a snack time staple for us. This is a great way to use up leftover fruit–especially small amounts left on a plate—or to pack cut fruit for lunch. The juice (or lemonade) in the fruit cup helps prevent the cut fruit from browning....
Instant Pot Butter Chicken If you love Chicken Tikka Masala, you will love this incredibly flavorful (yet mild) Indian chicken recipe. The combination of shredded chicken and tomatoes with just enough cream and butter to add richness really is something special—and it’s a wonderful way to introduce the kids to new flavors. We love to have this Butter Chicken with basmati rice, naan or pita bread, and a simple veggie side....
We look forward to peach season all year long! Peaches are my favorite fruit, so we go through cases and cases of peaches during the summer when they are super juicy and ripe. Usually we just eat them with a scoop of ice cream or sliced up in a bowl with a little cream drizzled on top. But when we want an extra special summer treat, I will make these peach shakes!...
Sliced Baked Apples I tend to have an apple or two left at the end of the week, and while my kids don’t always love to eat them fresh, they do love them turned into sliced baked apples! This super simple method transforms apples into sweet slices of goodness without any need for extra sugar or fancy ingredients. The slices of these simple baked apples are tender and soft, so they’re a perfect texture for babies starting solids as a baby led weaning food, toddlers, or even us parents....
Baked till crisp, they’re tossed in a creamy, dreamy mayo based sauce that’s savory and tangy, then finished off with a touch of chili powder. Serve these up to family or friends, and get ready for rave reviews. Everyone loves Chicken Wings. From Garlic Parmesan Wings to Sticky Asian Wings, they’re always the life of the party. Why this Recipe Works Balanced Flavors: The lime juice cuts through the richness of the mayo and cheese, creating a balanced flavor profile that hits all the right notes....
Making yogurt muffins has totally made me LOVE muffins so much more. The yogurt makes the texture light, fluffy, and so tender. And in this recipe, it has the added benefit of boosting the blueberry flavor even more. You can make these to have for breakfast or snack, you can freeze some of the batch for a future meal, and you can serve them topped with butter, nut or seed butter, or a favorite jam....
It will come as no shock, I am sure, to learn my kids love plain pasta. They, like most kids, often have changing preferences for pasta sauces, and while we do a lot of Extra-Veggie Pasta, Spinach Pesto, Kale Pesto, and Zucchini Pasta Sauce, we also regularly have buttered pasta in the mix, too. I love this since it’s serious comfort food, and it can be topped with all sorts of additional flavor boosters for adults as we like—so we can all happily share the meal....
Every year when it gets close to time to plan Thanksgiving recipes for kids, I start to crave Cranberry Orange Bread for a holiday brunch or to serve as an easy side dish. This recipe, which is a version of the one my grandmother made each year for the holidays, is bright in flavor from the fresh cranberries, orange zest, and orange juice, and holds up really well if you make it ahead of time....
French Toast Casserole Full disclosure: I started making this recipe when I had a lot of leftover crusts from kids sandwiches and homemade Uncrustables that I didn’t want to go to waste. I popped them into the freezer in a freezer bag until I had enough, then in just a few minutes, this breakfast casserole is ready to go into the oven. I love (so very much) how this is such a perfect way to use up all types of bread you may have and that you can customize the fruits you add according to the season or personal preferences....
Shrimp is such a healthy, kid-friendly protein to add to your dinner rotation! We love this Shrimp Étouffée (also from Louisiana!) for a warm, hearty stew, and also these Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas that are super easy to throw together and pack in tons of flavor! Get ready for the ULTIMATE Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich A Shrimp Po Boy is the ULTIMATE Louisiana sandwich! If you have never had one before, these are a must try immediately type of sandwich!...
When it comes to vegetable side dishes, I find that my family always eats them best when I change things up and throw in new, fresh flavors from time to time. That’s definitely the case with these Garlic Mushrooms. Not only is it a nice change to have meaty mouthfuls of mushrooms with their savory flavor, but adding the fresh herbs and plenty of garlic makes a big difference! If you love mushrooms like we do, you might also like our Roasted Garlic & Mushroom Risotto, Soy-Glazed Mushroom Swiss Burgers, and Meaty Mushroom Chili....
Crisp cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, red onions, briny olives and capers, creamy feta, and a simple herb dressing. That’s all it takes. And the results are top notch. The next time those fresh salad cravings hit, go the Greek way… the Horiatiki way! The temperatures are starting to rise, and that means all of those summertime veggies are ready to peak. And that means it’s salad season! From simple Caesar to unique salads from far off lands like Indonesian Gado Gado and Middle Eastern Balela, they’re all so good and so fresh....
Okay real talk: These banana brownies are so delicious. They are tender, fudgey, and perfect for snack or dessert. They’re made with a base of bananas and oats, but really, they taste like a delicious chocolate brownie. The method to make these involves mashing banana and stirring everything together in a bowl, then simply waiting for them to bake up in the oven. So straight-forward. And then they store so well in the fridge for days and days, which means you can enjoy them all week…if they last that long!...
But… it’s kind of intimidating, isn’t it? Not anymore! The traditional method requires careful attention, constant stirring. Then, there’s the new blender method, which anyone can master in no time. In this post, we’re going to teach you both. So, if you’re feeling like a fancy French chef, go for it! But if you just want an amazingly flavorful sauce without the stress, we’ve got you covered as well! Hollandaise sauce, or “Dutch sauce”, has been a part of French cuisine for centuries....
