Love baked pasta dishes? Try this Rigatoni Pasta Bake, this Cheese Cannelloni recipe, or this Easy Lasagna Recipe next! Pasta and cheese and sauce is the way to my heart. I mean, I’m pretty sure that these Ricotta Stuffed Shells are the way to anyone’s heart, but maybe there are actually people out there who don’t like cheese-stuffed pasta. Are there?!? I’ve got my share of cheesy pasta dishes around her: from Instant Pot Baked Ziti to Slow Cooker Baked Ziti, Chicken Spaghetti Bake to Instant Pot Mac and Cheese....

If there’s anything more satisfying than smashing robin’s eggs to bits with a rolling pin, I haven’t found it yet. Though, I should admit that I had to perform this task during baby nap time, so I had to do it on the back deck with a slight mind for the amount of noise I was making. Still, it’s supremely satisfying. My husband has a robin eggs candy problem. Or maybe I’m the one with the problem, because I keep buying them ‘for him’....

Small batch blueberry muffins My mom tests my recipes for me, isn’t that sweet of her? So, when my Mom requested a recipe to make small batch blueberry muffins from scratch, I knew I had to oblige. Plus, these moist lemon blueberry muffins are so good, why wouldn’t I want to make them 5 times to make sure they’re perfect? Over the 10 years I have been running this small batch recipe site, I have developed recipes using a propane oven, a convection cooktop, a standard coil cooktop, and now a gas range....

Small Batch Chocolate Cupcakes for Two If there’s anything I’ve learned about having a daughter, it’s that they always think cupcakes are a good idea. They love to bake them, they love to frost them, and if you shake the sprinkle jar, they come running to the kitchen. I knew before I became a mom that I would cook and bake with my kids tons. But what I didn’t know was how handy small batch recipes would be when it comes to cooking with kids!...

I know, you’ve been waiting your whole life for your favorite casserole to be scaled down to serve two. It’s so true for me, too! I had to wait until a really strong craving for tater tot casserole hit before I tackled it. I mean, sure, tater tot casserole always sounds good. But, I needed one of those ‘gotta have it now!’ cravings to hit before I could conquer the recipe....

Love cheesy potatoes? Try my classic Twice Baked Potatoes, Scalloped Potatoes or Garlic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes and Carrots next! I feel like with the coming of fall (and much too soon after, winter) I dove head first into cozy soups, slow cooker, and Instant Pot recipes and forgot about creamy, hearty, casseroles. The humble casserole is perfect for this time of year because they are easy to make ahead, perfect for church or family potlucks (and I promise you they’ll be scraping the bottom of the dish!...

Vegan Mexican Black Bean Burrito Bowls These vegan burrito bowls are made with potatoes instead of rice! Vegan Mexican black bean burrito bowls is a mouthful for a recipe title, but I couldn’t think of any other way to describe my favorite 30-minute one skillet dinner. I pulled this recipe from my files from when I was a grad student on a budget. I must have found it in a magazine, because my copy is hand-written and stained adequately....

We love a good casserole recipe – especially when it features chicken! Chicken is one of those ingredients that can be dressed up a million different ways and still be delicious. These casseroles are all so different and SO good! I’ll be honest… it was a bit of a challenge to compile this list. It feels so definitive and I find a new chicken casserole recipe to obsess over all the time!...

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Any time I can hide my vegetables in chocolate, count me in. I can’t honestly say that I eat a lot of zucchini that’s not baked into something, but I sure do love it paired with banana and chocolate. I like to think it makes these Banana Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins healthy enough to indulge in on a regular basis! I first made these muffins last summer when I was given some zucchini (you know how it is, that time of year — boxes labelled “free zucchini!...

Beetroot and Feta Salad If you know me in real life (or follow me on instagram, which is mostly the same thing), you’ll know that my husband is vegan. He went vegan for health reasons, and it cleared up all of his health issues. It’s kinda crazy how well it worked for him, and I’m so proud of him for doing it and sticking with it. At first, I was intimidated on how to come up with recipes that the whole family could enjoy with only a few modifications for him....

And even though, conventionally Sajji is made in an open fire, you can still make a kickass sajji in your own homes! All you need is an oven, some marinade and the will to make it! In this post I am going to tackle Chicken Sajji, and hopefully put up a post for lamb sajji soon! How to make Chicken Sajji Selecting the chicken for the best Sajji For making the perfect Balochi Sajji, use chicken with skin on, with no cuts....

I haven’t attached the recipe of the chicken tikka in this recipe as I just used the left overs. But if you are making everything from scratch, here is a good recipe for chicken marination. Or you could be more adventurous and just use any chicken left overs that you have at hand. PROTIP No matter what sandwich you decide to make, make sure to always keep them covered after assembling....

I had dinner with 10 strangers the other night. Well, 9, because I had a date. And she was gorgeous. I’ll get to that in a minute. Cozying up with strangers for a homey meal at a person’s house you’ve never been to sounds weird, no? It’s actually called a ‘pop-up’ dinner. Pop-up dinners are my new favorite way to meet friends and eat good food. It starts with a chick (or dude) who loves to cook and makes seriously delicious food....

These Breakfast Stuffed Peppers were originally posted in August of 2015, but since they’ve been incredibly popular I’m updating the photos, adding a step by step video and cleaning things up a bit! Enjoy! Here we are. How was your January 2018?? I did really well at staying on track for the first few weeks of January. But I’ll admit, once I started to get into Easter recipes and Spring desserts…....

SO. December. How’s that going for you? I feel like I’ve been doing okay so far, my commitment to find you more comfort food recipes made healthier is helping to keep me on track. Because in the deep, dead cold of December, a girl needs her comfort food, right?! I am that girl who will never give up her favorite foods, and so compromise is my new favorite word. A compromise that don’t feel like a compromise....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Classic Potato Salad. Creamy, tangy, mayo-y with boiled potatoes and hard-boiled eggs. I know that mayo-less potato salads are pretty “in” right now, in fact, I probably should have used Greek yogurt instead, right? Considering that I actually have said over and over (and I remind you every time I make a potato salad recipe like this Creamy Italian Potato Salad or this Warm Maple Bacon Potato Salad or this BBQ Bacon Potato Salad) that I hate mayonnaise, you’d think I’d be right there on board....

We are potato lovers here, and crispy is the best way! We’ve been loving on these Air Fryer Potatoes, Air Fryer Tater Tots, and Air Fryer French Fries for a long time now, and it’s time to add these fun Air Fryer Potato Wedges to our list of favorites! Before we had an air fryer, we would bake our potatoes (and we have big love for these Roasted Potatoes and Carrots!...

Got extra tots? Try this Tater Tot Casserole Recipe or this Easy Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole recipe! I know. Frozen tater tots?! Are you serious? But you know what? Tater tots are delicious, and I won’t apologize! These Air Fryer Tater Tots are the absolute crispiest tots and they cook so quickly, which is perfect for any last minute tot cravings 😉 We don’t eat a lot of frozen convenience foods, so I don’t feel at all guilty about whipping up a batch (or 2, or 3) in the air fryer!...

I just finished reading ‘French Women Don’t Get Fat.’ I know, I’m 6 years behind the times. Please tell me I’m not the only one that read books WAY after they are popular! I just finished The Hunger Games recently, also way behind the times. Anyway, I have no idea why I read this book. I’m not looking to shed any weight. Maybe I was looking for an excuse to drink wine at lunch AND dinner....

See? I promised you I would make you some skinnier summer treats. (I know, I know — you’re all already baking back to school snacks!) Raise your hand if you love 2 ingredient recipes. I even hesitate to use the word recipe. It’s more of a just a method for making healthier summer drinks that you can make a thousand different ways. I’ve included ten other ways to make this slush just to give you some ideas!...
