For a classic alternative, be sure to try my Best Homemade Biscuits and Gravy recipe! You might also want to try my Southern Fried Chicken and Classic Southern Collard Greens! There is nothing quite like good homemade buttermilk biscuits, made from scratch by hand. Unless it’s a one that has then been topped with a generous dousing of what southerners in Arkansas refer to as “chocolate gravy”. To be totally honest, I had never even heard of such a thing before starting my American Eats series and researching the foods that Arkansas is known for....

Now, I’ll be honest, this recipe does need a trip to the Asian market for Thai basil and those famous Thai bird eye chilis. But let me tell you, it’s totally worth it when you take that first bite.

We love Classic Banana Bread, but sometimes when we have loads of overripe bananas to use up, I’m also in the mood for something chocolatey-now I don’t have to choose! This super chocolatey bread loaf is basically banana-bread-meets-brownies in a perfect way, and I love it! If you’ve never made banana bread before, then you’re in for a serious treat! Banana bread is one of the easiest cake loaves to make, and it’s very forgiving....

These are my perfect brownies. Crackly topped and richly flavored with a double dose of chocolate, both cocoa powder and dark chocolate. They straddle the line between cakey and fudgy for a deliciously chewy brownie. And finally, they’re brownies with a spicy twist! Cinnamon and cayenne are mixed right into the batter to enhance that chocolatey goodness and leave a lingering tingle on your tongue. It keeps you coming back for bite after bite!...

Meet my favorite vegan BLT. It’s made with salty, smokey, slightly sweet (basically all the descriptive S-words) tempeh. Thinly sliced, marinated, and baked until crisp then stuffed between two slices of bread along with your usual suspects. It’s possibly the perfect sandwich! The most important element of this sandwich is the baked tempeh bacon. Tempeh is a bit of a controversial choice when it comes to vegan bacon, as it doesn’t crisp up exactly the same way as at the meaty version....

Tinga is a Mexican dish with amazing flavor. And while it’s traditionally prepared with chicken, there is no reason we can’t make it vegan! The flavorful sauce is simple to put together, and addictively good. I’m telling ya, taco night is even better when my vegan tinga is part of the spread! Tinga is definitely in our top 5 favorite taco fillings, and I say that as a really big taco lover!...

If you’re looking for a new curry, this Vietnamese Curry is an absolute must try! Oh, just try it like locals, with some crusty French Baguette type bread (though I myself love it just as much with my rice)....

A Welsh classic. Maybe the most famous export from wales… besides Catherine Zeta Jones, of course. 😉 Brits have an eccentric sense of humor, or rather humour, when it comes to naming their food. Do you know “Toad in the hole”? It’s sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter. It sounds very very delicious, but the name! How about Bubble and Squeak (fried leftover veggies), Angels on Horseback (oysters wrapped in bacon), Singing Hinnies (sweet griddle cakes or scones)… and so many more....

To me, there’s just nothing like a good pasta sauce that cooks low and slow for hours. It’s the epitome of comfort food. In the past, we’ve presented you with conventional Bolognese, Lamb Ragu, and our super popular Italian-American Sunday Gravy. This one is a bit different, but equally delicious. What is White Bolognese? White Bolognese is a variation on regular Bolognese, which is the version of ragù that they serve in Bologna, Italy....

Christmas Star Cookies encapsulate the essence of the holiday season, bringing joy, warmth, and a touch of elegance to your festive celebrations. Commonly found at Christmas markets, these festive treats are a traditional part of many holiday tables and a perfect choice for Santa’s plate on Christmas Eve. While they pay homage to traditional German Christmas cookies, like the beloved Zimtsterne Cookies, there is not a hint of gingerbread in sight here....

We love our basic Stir Fry Sauce, and Hunan Sauce is our go-to when we want something spicy. But this Japanese version is very unique. Ingredients Needed Soy Sauce – Pretty much a staple in all stir fry sauces. Oyster Sauce – Another Asian staple. Worcestershire Sauce – Surprise! Yes, Worcestershire sauce in stir fry. That’s what makes it so unique. Mirin – This is a Japanese rice wine. If you don’t have it, that’s okay, but it does go very well here....

Podcasts for Kids We’ve been listening to podcasts with our kids for a few years and find them to be an incredibly helpful free activity for kids. They’re great for helping the kids to learn about all sorts of subjects and ideas, are a wonderful way to expose them to different storytelling methods and music, and can help them play independently while they list. They work just as well at home as on the go in the car!...

Pan Seared Salmon is one of my absolute favorite meals to make! Throwing it together takes no time at all, which is crucial if you’re a busy mom like me. The sides will probably take longer than the fish! Salmon is known for being a fatty fish, but don’t worry – it’s the good kind! Omega 3s are an essential part of everyone’s diet, and salmon is one of the best sources of it that you can find!...
