Seriously, if you’re craving authentic Thai food, you really don’t need to look through takeout menus or head to the nearest restaurant. From my experience, unless it’s a genuinely authentic Thai place, you’re likely to end up with something pretty bland.

I love having gnocchi on hand, because it means satisfying, quick, and easy meals are a hop and a skip away. This baked gnocchi is great with store bought or homemade vegan gnocchi.

I’m a big fan of vegan quiches. The flaky crusts and custardy centers. They’re packed with protein and you can load them up with veggies. They’re delicious as well as cute, and something about them just elevates any meal! These guys are loaded up with sprouting broccoli that I found at my local farmers market. I think sprouting broccoli is more commonly found in the UK than the US, based on the recipes and articles I’ve come across....
Planning a trip to Orlando can be overwhelming since there is so much do to and so many different parks to go to between the Disney theme parks and Universal Studios.

Toddler Activities Spending time together in the kitchen can be fun and educational at the same time. And they can provide something to do that also helps you to get a meal or snack on the table! I love the Montessori approach to letting kids do real work from an early age and I’ve found with my own girls that it makes them really eager to be involved. There’s a lot of “do it myself” when you start this kids in the kitchen business, which is a wonderful thing because in a few years they really will be able to do it all themselves!...
I love the combo of strawberry and rhubarb in desserts. In fact, one of the first recipes I ever posted here on House of Nash Eats was for these delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Bars that I made on the tail end of rhubarb season, which typically runs between April and May. Rhubarb is this crazy vegetable with poisonous leaves and insanely sour/tart stems but if you add a some sugar and mix them with berries in a pie crust, they create the most wonderful sweet-tart pie that you can possibly imagine....
It’s Montana Week on House of Nash Eats as part of my American Eats series where I’m making famous recipes from each state, one state at a time. And while this duchess potato recipe isn’t necessarily particular to Montana, they were the perfect side dish to serve with Montana favorites like our Smoked Prime Rib Roast or a Grilled Ribeye Steak. But they are just as good with a thick slice of meatloaf in place of your regular mashed potatoes!...

This is hands down one of the best, most decadent cheesecakes I have made to-date! The buttery Oreo chocolate crust is crunchy and addictive, followed by the velvety, silky smooth chocolate cheesecake layer itself....

I’m obsessed with summer-ripe tomatoes and fresh basil dishes. I look forward to this time of year all year long when I can get big, gorgeous heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market or pick all the cherry tomatoes from the garden. And I will most definitely be making this burrata caprese app all summer on repeat. It’s the perfect dish for noshing on while lounging around the pool or watching the kids play lawn games....
I was totally flabbergasted when my friend Ginny recently suggested that “only old people like butter pecan ice cream” after her husband Jason and I both declared how much we like the flavor. How dare she malign one of my favorite ice cream flavors of all time! Or was she taking a jab at my age? Lol. Maybe a timeless scoop of butter pecan isn’t as trendy and hip as some other ice cream flavors, but man alive it’s phenomenal stuff....
I am a big fan of Mexican Caldos. My Caldo de Res and Caldo de Pollo are big hits on GypsyPlate, and are loaded with all the goodness of Mexican cuisine. I always get amazed at how a simple bowl of soup can be so good, when the recipe is so easy and straight forward. The secret is in the magic of slow and low cooking, when all the flavors just meld together....
