If I have one obsession through the winter, it is homemade stock. Whenever we are making this Perfect Roast Chicken, I get equally as excited about that roasted chicken carcass I can get my hands on afterward. Homemade chicken stock is just packed full of good things — there is a reason chicken soup is rumoured to heal all! Since homemade stock is made by simmering chicken bones, it is loaded with gelatin which is rich in protein and boosts the collagen in our bodies (which in turn helps our bones, skin, tendons and ligaments — just a few important things!...

If you’ve got a sudden hankering for a fluffy stack of pancakes, and you’re sitting there wondering how to make buttermilk, you’re not alone! It’s pretty rare that I remember to buy buttermilk, I’ll admit. Because I only use it in a few recipes, it’s not usually on the top of my mind! And since these Whole Wheat Pancakes are a craving we have often, I usually find myself whipping up this quick buttermilk substitute....

You can check out all of my instant pot mini recipes here. I have been on a mission to create quick and easy pantry meals that adults and kids both love! This recipe comes together with chicken thighs and pantry stapes to make the teriyaki sauce. I always have a pack of chicken thighs in the fridge or freezer, and a bag of rice can always be found in my pantry....

Onwards with the Mardi Gras theme! I can’t help but be happy when I think of Mardi Gras. I had my first bite of King Cake in the Big Easy at The Court of Two Sisters. Truthfully, there was a slight moment of disappointment, because when one hears the word ‘cake,’ you expect sweet cake. King Cake is more of a yeast bread with a cinnamon swirl and sweet frosting....

I love taking recipe requests. Maybe it’s the people-pleaser in me, but I love posing a question on Instagram about what kind of small-batch recipes you guys want to see. While you’re probably still recovering from Christmas, I am already thinking about Valentine’s Day. I took a quick poll on instagram to see if any of you were in the mood for love and chocolate yet, and I’m happy to report I received a resounding YES....

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it. Tiny bit distracted as I write this post. I took these photos when I had 13 other things on my To Do list (we really pick and choose what we want to spend our time on, don’t we?). I edited the photos when I had 13 other things on my mind (they were a welcome distraction)....

I really want to sit here and tell you how I loved making pancakes as a child and bla bla and how amazing it is for breakfast for kids and all. But the truth is, I am a fully grown adult and I still have pancakes almost once every two weeks. And not the low-carb oat meal ones. The good ‘ol school regular pancakes that mom use to make. Judge me all you want but when a girl’s gotta eat, there isn’t any one stopping me from some fooooddd lovin....

Welcome to everyone’s favorite dinner that their mom used to make, but scaled down to serve two. Comfort food for two is our favorite weeknight meal. If I can spin the comfort food into something that has minimal prep, bakes all in one pan, and uses very few dishes, then I am a very happy person! I love the combo of protein plus vegetable, like my Cowboy Steaks and Brussels Sprouts, and this Salisbury Steak with Roasted Potatoes is another form of it....

First things first, did you know: I have 5 different sizes of this recipe on this site? -this single layer carrot cake made in a 8x8” pan-my 6” small carrot cake-my carrot cake for two made in ramekins-a healthy carrot cake made in a mini muffin pan-and of course, a small batch of carrot cake cupcakes While we love warm mini carrot cakes with melted cream cheese frosting, we also love cold carrot cake right out of the fridge....

I’m scheming up a Valentine’s Day breakfast in bed situation. It’s not that I don’t think I can convince Brian to do it. The obstacles are different. They include my extreme distaste for crumbs in the bed, and my dogs’ newly acquired begging strategy: if they’re close enough to the food, they lean in to touch it with their nose. At that point, your food has dog nose on it (and who knows where that has really been), so you may as well just give them the food....

I just don’t know if there’s anything better than a great burger in the summertime! Sure, we love these Turkey Burgers and these Hawaiian Chicken Burgers are always a hit, but sometimes you just need a classic homemade beef burger. However you load it up, a side of these Air Fryer French Fries and a classic milkshake are necessary additions 😉 But back to the burger. I’ve never eaten another burger that packs in this much flavor!...

It’s actually difficult for me to write this post and not have a big bowl of this Turkey Chili Mac and Cheese here with me, because it’s so good and I’m so hungry! This is one of those one pot meals that I could make over and over and no one would get sick of it. It has a lot of our favorite things — lean and versatile ground turkey, pasta, sauce and cheese — and it’s made with just one pot and in 30 minutes or less, so it’s perfect for busy weeknights (and there seem to be a lot of those around here!...

But, let’s face it. I love you guys! I’ve been thinking about this day coming up for a few months now. I knew I wanted cake. The cake was the easy part. Chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, salted peanuts, chocolate ganache, cheesecake – it’s got everything you need (yes, need). But what to write? How to sum up the craziest year of my life? How to keep my ramblings here under 3000 ridiculously mushy words?...

These small batch vegan banana muffins are vegan simply because I’m on a quest to cram our diets with as much flax seed as humanly possible lately. Plus, as you can imagine, I go through a lot of eggs in this house, and I frequently start baking before I realize I’m out of eggs. My giant bag of flaxseed meal in the freezer always saves the day! Did you guys know you can mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with a few tablespoons of water, and you’ll get a mixture that you can use like an egg in most baked goods?...

My Favorite Air Fryer Chicken Recipes Oh, air fryer. Let’s count the ways I love you! First, you cook everything easily and quickly to perfection. Second, cooking with you calls for minimal clean up! And third, you’ve made my favorite chicken recipes that much better because of both of these things. I’m so excited to share this delicious round up of easy recipes featuring the most versatile of meats: chicken! Everything from BBQ chicken and Asian-inspired chicken wings, to crispy chicken tenders and homemade empanadas....

Baked chicken recipes are some of my go-to weeknight dinners! There are just so many endless ways to prepare a chicken, so it really never gets old. Besides, can you ever have too many chicken recipes in your arsenal? I think not. Today I’m sharing my favorite ways to bake chicken! These are some seriously easy and delicious ways to prepare juicy chicken breasts, tender chicken thighs, and more in the oven....

Love chicken soup recipes? Try this Chicken Pot Pie Soup, this Chicken Gnocchi Soup or this Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup next! February is soup month here on The Recipe Rebel (and over on YouTube with my new 6 Ingredient Suppers series), and I’m so excited to be adding this hearty Chicken Barley Soup to the family! I know Beef Barley Soup is generally more popular, but there’s no reason this Chicken Barley Soup shouldn’t share some of the spotlight....

Cheese ravioli is one of the best comfort foods! Pasta is pretty great on its own, but stuff it with cheese and I am done. Now, while I love my Baked Ravioli Recipe (really, any ravioli recipe!), this Air Fryer Ravioli recipe combines one of my favorite foods and one of my favorite kitchen appliances. The result is ravioli with a warm, melty, cheesy middle and a delicious, golden, crispy exterior....

Enjoy more of my favorite summer-ready pasta recipes like Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Orzo, Tomato Basil Pasta and One Pot Pasta Primavera. Angel Hair Pasta is one of my absolute favorite pasta dinners, especially during the spring and summer seasons! It’s comforting but filled with fresh flavors that won’t weigh you down when the weather’s hot. The blistered tomatoes are so juicy and really seal the deal on that fresh flavor....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER It’s confession time again. I need to tell you guys that I’ve failed at nachos. I know, it’s a little embarrassing. But I figure it’s important for you to know that I would go to the ends of the earth to bring you a fantastic nacho recipe. Or I would at least make them 3 times. And, you know, it’s funny. The husband didn’t complain at all when we had nachos for lunch 3 times....
