This easy graham cracker crust recipe is so basic, but it’s one I think every home baker should have in their arsenal. There’s something irresistible about a sweet, buttery graham cracker crust!

Except I had this weird thing where I would only accept WHOLE graham crackers....

Japanese curry is nothing like other curries you have seen or imagined. It’s more like a cross between stew and curry. It’s a thick, rich, velvety and glossy concoction that’s sweet, savory and umami in nature. It’s my pleasure to get you acquainted with this unique yet delicious curry from the land of the rising sun. I myself come face to face with this thick brown beef stew like thing in Cairns, Australia, on the boats that used to take my tour groups on day outings to the Great Barrier Reef....

Every bite of these lemon cupcakes conjures up images of Spring sunshine, warmer weather, and longer days!

Okay, confession time – I used to hate pumpkin pie. Until just a few years ago, I was just not a fan! For me, my love of pumpkin pies came from the moment I learned that they’re delicious when made with homemade pumpkin purée, and so I developed my very own classic Homemade Pumpkin Pie recipe. After discovering my love for the taste of pumpkin pies, I wanted to try my hand at this Chiffon Pie version, as I have always loved chiffon pies....

You can make a batch a batch of the egg muffins one day and keep them in the fridge until you need them.

One of my favorite appetizers of all time is classic bruschetta, which is really just diced tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil piled on top of toasted crostini. I fell in love with bruschetta when we were hiking in Cinque Terra, Italy and stopped in Corniglia for lunch and I had the most amazing bruschetta of my life. But for a weeknight dinner, bruschetta itself doesn’t quite cut it. So I took all the flavors of bruschetta and put them into pasta form with some chicken for the protein to make it a filling, complete meal....

This post is sponsored by Stonyfield. Protein Banana Bread I love having ready-to-go breakfasts on hand to help simplify our mornings, and this banana bread is a new favorite. It has more protein than typical quick breads, which makes it filling and satisfying, and it’s a great way to use up very ripe bananas. It also boasts calcium and beneficial fats, two nutrients kids need. The beauty of this bread is that it simply gets stirred together in a bowl and baked up in the oven....

You can switch out the variety of radishes for different flavors and textures, change the vinegar you use, add spices or herbs as you like....
I’m not sure if this recipe is a grain bowl or a salad. Maybe that just depends on how you present it? I guess I called it a salad, but I also plated it on a salad plate, so… Regardless of what it’s called, with tender roasted sweet potatoes, chewy farro, garlicky chickpeas and savory minced sun dried tomatoes, a heaping pile of buttery avocado, and a mouth watering lemon vinaigrette this salad-bowl-what have you is so flavorful and satisfying to eat....

Along with Pozole Rojo and Caldo de Pollo, it’s one of our favorite Mexican soups. What is Sopa de Lentejas Sopa de Lentejas is the Latin American version of lentil soup, and can be found from Mexico all the way down to Argentina and Chile. It starts with aromatic vegetables for a flavor base, and can also include other ingredients like meat (typically sausage), potatoes or greens. It is a hearty, nutritious, and budget friendly meal that can be enjoyed all year long, but is especially great in wintertime....

Spinach Pasta Sauce I love vegetable pasta sauces, from Green Pasta Sauce, to Cauliflower Alfredo, Red Pepper Sauce, and now this Spinach Pasta Sauce. It’s such a fun and nutritious way to serve up a variety of ingredients to kids, with bright colors as a bonus. This spinach pasta recipe has a full 11 ounces of baby spinach in it but has a creamy texture (from ricotta cheese, rather than cream) and a subtle flavor that’s a nice alternative to tomato-based sauces....
