After stuffing ourselves full of cookies last week, I really started craving rich savory flavors, and strongly. Luckily I had eaten enough wishing cookies that all my wishes are bound to come true, including the ones for steaming piles of creamy pasta. The small matter that I’m the one controlling what I cook and eat clearly has nothing to do with anything. This recipe for creamy spaghetti ai funghi was exactly what I needed....

These vegan sweet potato rolls are the soft and pillowy bread of your dreams. A beautiful golden color thanks to the sweet potatoes, these savory dinner rolls are the perfect accompaniment to any fall feast, or to take a simple dinner to the next level. The soft and enriched dough is made vegan with the simple substitution of vegan butter (oil works too, though) for the typical dairy version and aquafaba for the traditional egg....

Meet my favorite green curry. It’s vegan (duh), green (also, duh), stuffed full of green veggies (yum), and has fried tofu tucked throughout (yessss!). It’s incredibly easy to make, ready in just over 30 minutes, less if you skip frying the tofu. Throw a pot of jasmine rice on the back burner when you start, and by the time your curry is done you’ll be all set to eat. It’s filling, as it’s full of all the important food groups: protein, vegetables, carbs, and healthy fats (some less healthy ones as well if you fry the tofu....

Rice and Bean Burritos This is a budget-friendly family dinner that tastes delicious and is easy to put together. It checks all the boxes in my book! And since my family loves Mexican flavors and black beans, these Rice and Bean Burritos are one of our go-to Tuesday night dinners. I like to make the rice ahead of time (or buy it precooked!) so it’s ready when I’m ready to assemble the burritos—and the rest of the ingredients are basically ready to go without any work!...

If you’re in the mood for a sweet and elegant treat, look no further than this White Chocolate Raspberry Cake recipe. It’s a total showstopper for special occasions like birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Christmas, weddings and bridal showers, and all sorts of special events in between. The blend of sweet white chocolate vanilla cake with a tart raspberry filling makes it a modern favorite, a perfect balance of flavors that appeals to those who are lovers of white chocolate and fruit desserts....

Looking for more healthy, low-carb or keto-friendly ideas? Some of our other favorites are Pan Seared Scallops, Whole Roasted Mexican Chicken with Vegetables, and Crispy Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Thighs. Zucchini Noodles (aka Zoodles) I have posted a few of our favorite Whole 30 compliant foods on here before like my Garam Masala Salmon or the Easy Weeknight Taco Meat that is one of my go-to dinners. But I haven’t yet posted what has probably been my favorite Whole 30 discovery – spiralized zucchini noodles!...

Cranberries are harvested mid September to November so naturally they fit in so well with the holiday season, but you can truly enjoy these recipes year round! These recipes are so good it would be a shame to only enjoy them a couple of months of the year. Whenever I am at the store and see cranberries, I always buy two bags so I have extra on hand. They freeze so well and you never know when you might have a hankering for Cranberry Shortbread Bars or my favorite Cranberry Salsa with Cream Cheese....

Sausage Pasta I love keeping ground Italian sausage, either chicken, turkey, or pork, in my freezer and using it to flavor simple dinners like this one. Since it already has spices and herbs in it, it adds all of the flavor you crave without having to measure out anything else! This dish combines the sausage with pasta, broccoli, and Parmesan cheese for healthy comfort food the whole family can enjoy. The other great thing about this recipe?...

Toddler Shopping Carts If your grocery store has kid-sized grocery carts, you likely already know how much toddlers adore them. But there’s good reason to add one to your playroom, too: Pushing around their own cart helps give kids a sense of independence, can open up conversations about different foods, and is just plain fun! (Not to mention push toys like grocery carts are also great for developing gross motor skills and balance....

I love all kinds of pancakes, especially for weekend breakfasts or to reheat from leftovers for quick meals, and these Apple Cinnamon ones are so darn delicious. The base is similar to my beloved Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes, but they have the addition of both cinnamon and apple. You have two options with the apple: You can grate one apple and add it to the batter, or you can slice an apple very thinly, coat it with batter, and cook it similarly to my Mini Pancakes with Fruit....

Sheet Pan Pancakes I love the ease of throwing a batch of pancake batter onto a baking pan and cooking the whole thing up in one go—to reduce the amount of time I need to stand in front of the stove flipping them one at a time. Sheet pan pancakes are both convenient and versatile, and this one has whole grains and delicious apple flavor. We love to cut baked pancakes into squares and serve them with maple syrup, Cinnamon Applesauce, or apple butter....

Bento Lunch Box Bento boxes are one of the best lunch box styles out there since they make it very easy to include a mix of foods in bento box lunch ideas. This means you have flexibility to add a diverse range of kids lunch recipes, foods don’t touch one another (which is important to some kids!), and you can pack things like dips and desserts, crunchy and soft foods, wet and dry foods, and even salad, sauces, or applesauce without the textures impacting one another....

Bread for Babies Bread is an easy food to keep in the mix for little kids because it’s convenient and can have a wide range of whole grains and complex carbohydrates. There are some considerations, though, to keep in mind when serving bread to babies and toddlers to prevent it from being a choking hazard. It takes kids time to learn to chew, bite, and move complex textures around in their mouths, so these tips will help you serve bread safely through the early years....

My mom was born and raised in Idaho, so we ate mashed potatoes more than probably any other side dish when I was growing up. It’s one of the first things I learned how to make as the oldest daughter, while my mom worked on other parts of the meal. I knew I wanted to share my mashed potatoes recipe to represent foods Idaho is known for as part of my American Eats series, where I’m working my way through the most popular foods and flavors of the USA, one state at a time!...

Pizza night is always a hit in our house, and we love to make everything from scratch! We like to switch things up sometimes by doing Cast Iron Pan Pizza or Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza along with a side of Chopped Kale Salad. For dessert, our Easy Fresh Fruit Pizza is always a fun option! Whether it’s pizza, pasta, soup, or salad, Italian food just isn’t the same without some kind of garlicky, buttery carb on the side!...

After years of making my Banana Cookies and my Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins, I decided to combine both to make this new recipe. We love these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies as a yummy breakfast cookie, an afternoon snack, and a dessert to share. It’s made with a base of oatmeal, so they are super satisfying and nutritious—with all the flavors of pumpkin spice that we love at this time of year. You can make this with canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree, as you like....

I like to serve it with some crusty bread, and voila, my restaurant-worthy dinner is done in a snap, with hardly any fuss! As much as I love traditional, authentic Italian food, the immigrants who came to America sure came up with some great original dishes too. Chicken Scarpariello is amazing, and Sunday Gravy is one of our all time favorites. And let’s not forget American Chop Suey and Johnny Marzetti, two nostalgic classics....
