When I posted a keto cream cheese frosting recipe, and mentioned that I had plans to use it more, I got so many recipe requests — and many readers asked for the exact recipe I was planning: Almond flour keto carrot cake! With spring just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about how to make sugar-free carrot cake. It makes such a wonderful spring dessert after a main dish like glazed keto ham!...
Everyone needs a few quick and easy dinner recipes in their back pocket. I call them my weeknight wonders - meals that I can make in 30 minutes or less with ingredients I always have on hand. This Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry is one of my weeknight wonders. It’s a vegan curry that’s made from scratch with mostly everyday pantry ingredients. And it keeps well so you can enjoy it for lunch for several days after (or freeze it for dinner in a pinch)....
The first time I made this Thai chicken curry, I was worried I would find it lacking. Having eaten copious amounts of authentic Thai curry (and Vegetarian Pad Thai) in Thailand, I know how fabulous a perfect chicken curry can be. With a short and simple ingredient list, at least compared to many Thai recipes, I had to wonder how this easy Thai chicken curry could measure up. Well, to put it simply, this Thai curry recipe BLEW ME AWAY....
I participated in Mom Blog Tour Winter Fancy Food Show (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Saffron Road products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and the recipe are my own. Twice in one day? Yep! I’m working extra hard today. Well, kinda… I’m not sure you’ve noticed that my recipes have been on the simple side lately. I know my grandma has! We were talking on the phone the other day and I was complaining about being pregnant (after all that’s all I do these days!...
No more dreading mornings for me. Yesterday, I went to bed looking forward to waking up so I could drink an ice cold glass of this delicious Thai Iced Coffee. As soon as the sun started beaming through my window (we still don’t have curtains and the blinds at the new apartment are white and don’t block the light) I jumped out of bed, poured myself a glass and am now enjoying it on my new balcony....

Despite its lack of originality (rice and beans Erin, really?), I stand by my prior intentions for this recipe. It’s an approachable, yet sophisticated side for your end-of-summer soirees and upcoming tailgates. These aren’t just any old rice and beans—these are sassy rice and beans with jalapenos, cilantro, and honey-lime dressing.

And after just one bite, you’ll see why! It’s so popular that it’s jumped out of our phones and into mainstream media. So, you don’t even need a TikTok account to check it out. Of course, the big question is: is it worth the hype? The answer is a big fat YES! But don’t take my word for it. Instead, try this recipe for TikTok feta pasta and see for yourself just how spectacularly delicious it is....
Indians love their egg curry and can’t do without having it often. This Dhaba style Egg Curry is the most popular on the highway dhabas all over India. It is also served in a lot of North Indian restaurants as Punjabi egg curry. Tomato egg curry on the contrary tastes completely different from the Punjabi egg curry, which is heavy on the spice level and oil. This recipe is an everyday curry and uses South Indian ingredients like curry leaves for the South Indian classic flavors....
My 7-year-old daughter after she finished eating this chicken for lunch said “Daddy, the chicken was so!… so!… so!…” She was overwhelmed with emotions and had a hard time finding the right word to describe how good she thought the chicken tasted. I get compliments on my cooking very regularly, but that one was very special to me. I agree, the chicken was superb. A perfection. My favorite meat for making Hunan chicken is breast meat....

These trail mix cookies are soft, chewy oatmeal cookies loaded with salty-sweet, nutty-fruity, chocolaty goodies....
Leftovers are one of my absolute favorite parts of Thanksgiving—one meal just isn’t enough to fully appreciate the feast! When it comes to How Much Turkey to Cook Per Person, I err on the side of more, not less. While some leftovers you can catch me munching straight from the refrigerator in my PJs (ahem, Glazed Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potato Pie), others deserve a little extra TLC, and the turkey is no exception....
The concept of a twice baked sweet potato is simple—bake a sweet potato, whip up the insides with other delicious things, stuff it back into potato skin, and bake the sweet potato a second time—but the resulting dish always makes me feel like I won the lottery. The creamy, fluffy interior is just HEAVEN. The contrast between the broiled top and the whipped filling beneath makes my heart pitter-patter. Twice baked sweet potatoes take a bit of extra effort compared to Roasted Sweet Potatoes or Mashed Sweet Potatoes, but not much....

Chicken salad is already loaded with beautiful flavors and textures. Then, when you make it into a sandwich, you can add juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, rich cheese, and of course, two slices of perfectly toasted bread or flaky croissants. Not only is it hearty and delicious, but it also has all the essential nutrients you need in a meal, from carbohydrates and fiber to protein and fats. Everyone has their own favorite chicken salad recipe....
Eggplant parmesan is a thing of beauty. Layers of eggplant, marinara sauce, and cheese, baked to perfection — I’ll give you a second to let all that decadence sink in. If you’ve never tried this Italian classic before, you might think — no meat? How can that be any good? The key is in the eggplant.

PB&J is one of the most popular food items in kids’ lunchboxes. It’s super yummy, nutritious, and affordable. These sandwiches are so easy to make, too. Who can blame moms and dads for packing PB&J for their kids? But you can’t really call a PB&J sandwich a complete meal. It needs a few sides to make it more filling and nutritious. Plus, it’s those additional accompaniments that add excitement to the meal....
The first week of January sometimes feels like a polar plunge from the warm, cozy hug of holiday cookies and champagne into dry, cold, “healthy” food. It doesn’t have to be this way! I passionately believe that eating well should not to taste like a sacrifice. Healthy recipes like this one shouldn’t require you to spend a fortune on ingredients or make trips to specialty stores. That’s my goal with my recipes here (especially the ones in my upcoming cookbook!...
