I’ve got your summertime go-to dairy free coconut milk ice cream recipe right here today. It’s not that we don’t have a few ways to love ice cream around here: strawberry ice cream, my blackberry chip ice cream (that is entirely no churn), or my peanut butter molasses ice cream (bonus: naturally sweetened!). These flavors are alive and well, thankfully. However, I wanted to make a cool, creamy confection that my dairy-free friends could enjoy....

Dahi bara / dahi vada / dahi bhalla are a popular Indian Pakistani snack made of fried lentils dipped in yogurt. The dahi bara masala mix is popularly used to top off this particular recipe for a long time, but it has since then been used for many different purposes. So I am going to show you how you can easily make this spice mix at home in about 15 mins....

What kind of Valentine’s Day dessert do you make for the guy who has dutifully eaten all of the desserts for two over the past 10 years? The guy who’s offered recipe ideas, helpful critique, and taste-tested with the best of them–the guy who deserves the best of the best? You make a dessert charcuterie board, of course! When I asked my husband which dessert he wanted for Valentine’s Day this year, his eyes widened and he said he couldn’t pick ‘just one....

Here are some of my favorite travel products from this year — the ones that make it easy to pack light! My Favorite Packing Items The older I get, the more skincare items I seem to want to take with me. Being a carry-on only packer, I struggle with fitting them in the tiny plastic bags. I love using these tiny jars (for things like moisturizer where a little goes a long way) and these flat toiletry pouches (for things like shampoo and conditioner that usually take up more space) to save some room....

Have you heard that Alabama song “If you want to play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band?” If this post had a theme song it would be “If you want to impress a Texan, you gotta have Fritos on the plate.” And the Texan I’m trying to impress today? Miss Amber of Bluebonnets & Brownies. We are hosting an online virtual baby shower for her today!...

See the step by step recipe down in the recipe card. This recipe is generously sponsored by The Little Potato Company and I was compensated for my time creating it. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! It’s picnic and cookout season, and I couldn’t be more excited! We love making a bunch of cold salads (they’re perfect for making ahead!) and grilling up a bunch of meat, like this Grilled Chicken and this Grilled Pork Tenderloin....

Summer is on the way, and we are all excited about cool summer treats and frozen drinks! This is one of the best times of year I think, because the sun is shining and T-shirt weather is hopefully here to stay (but in Manitoba, you never really know!). Although I have a few gluten free baking recipes here (like these Gluten Free Monster Cookie Cheesecakes and this Gluten-Free Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting), it’s not something we do all the time....

Chicken Green Chili Soup On the long list of reasons I was so excited to move back to my home state of Texas, ‘food’ was quite high. And somewhere, underneath the subheading of food, ‘Hatch green chile season’ found its place. While Hatch chiles come from New Mexico, Texas imports a fair share of them, as we are known to love our chiles. Green chile chicken enchiladas for two, anyone? When my parents told me that Central Market was hosting their annual Hatch chile fest, and the giant rotating drum roasters were in full-force, I grabbed my husband and daughter to see the sights....

This Hawaiian Chicken will transport you to a tropical island with this fruity and tangy sauce! Ok, maybe not quite. But this recipe is so easy it’ll feel like a breeze to make, and your mouth will be happily bathed in tropical flavors, at least! We often have chicken for dinner, and this recipe is so quick and easy that it’s great for any day of the week. The sweet and tangy pineapple sauce is so yummy!...

This recipe was first posted on The Recipe Critic. As much as I love Christmas, I always secretly get so excited when the tree comes down, the decorations go away, and LIFE GOES ON. Am I alone? January is the perfect time to reset, get back into creating and maintaining healthy habits, and quietly reconnecting as a family once the hustle and bustle dies down. These healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack for getting back to routine....

SO GOOD. I’m a shortbread convert. I am a believer now! This batch of shortbread that I spiked with honey and vanilla is like a giant buttery graham cracker. It hit my taste buds like a slap in the face. A slap in the face that I needed, by the way. What was I thinking, acting like I was too good for a simple cookie? Simple is gooooood. These cookies only have a handful of ingredients, but when they bake up in the oven and develop that brown crust, they start to taste like toffee and caramel....

Mini pumpkin cheesecakes: The minute I scaled down cheesecake to serve two people and made those mini New York cheesecakes, my mind started spinning with ideas for variations. Since it’s Pumpkin month (I guess some people call it October– to each his own), pumpkin cheesecake with maple whipped cream had to be made. The crust is effortless: drop in a store-bought gingersnap cookie (the crisp kind). I’ve always maintained that if you’re going to make cheesecake from scratch, the crust should be easy....

Chewy, chocolatey deliciousness! These No Bake Crunch Bars are not a copycat of the Nestle Crunch Bars (although I do love those as well!). This recipe is another one from my Grandma’s church cookbook. Sometimes I feel like I spent so much time scouring the internet for new and exciting recipes, that I don’t take enough time to treasure the recipes I grew up with. Sometimes those are the best recipes....

I get it. I feel like I’ve gone a little crazy with the no bake cheesecakes this year so far and I have to tell you, it’s not over yet. It seems that fall and winter 2018-2019 was the season of ALL THE SOUP, and so far Spring 2019 is the season of the no bake cheesecake here on The Recipe Rebel. I just can’t stop. (Hence this no bake Strawberry Cheesecake) Just this year we’ve welcomed this No Bake Key Lime Cheesecake, No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, and No Bake Creme Egg Cheesecake....

This awesome No-bake bar has 3 layers of awesomeness. First is the rich creamy buttery layer of crushed Biscoff cookies, next is a thicker layer of mildly sweet and mellow vanilla custard, topped off with another rich and creamy layer of Lotus spread. By all means, feel free to skip the custard altogether ! Just kidding (um..not really) Back home in Pakistan, there is a local biscuit known as “Candi” by Lu and I laaaavedd it as a kid!...

I’m not sure you can fully understand my love of brunch. The other day we were having another couple over for dinner, and I was trying to decide what to make. I was telling my husband how much I would love to host people and serve up a huge brunch spread, but because we usually host people in the evenings, it hasn’t really ever happened! Of course, I wouldn’t mind a breakfast/brunch, or brinner, but not everyone is like me....

Since most of the world identifies to ALL South Asian food as Indian, you’ve also probably heard of Prawn masala too. But never of Karahi Prawns. Whether you call it prawn masala or Karhai Prawns is really your call, but whats more important is, that whatever you decide to call it, its still gonna be sitting there tasting DELICIOUSLY AWESOME! This recipe is uses most easily available eastern spices at home, a tomato yogurt based gravy and some nice prawns to go with....

These are the most delicious cookies ever that I totally forgot about for years. I used to make these cookies a lot in college. There was a time when they were referred to as ‘boy bait cookies.’ Did I ever tell you that I lived with another girl named Cristina in college, and together we were the ‘C(h)ristinas’ and together we threw the best parties ever? I probably shouldn’t go on, for fear of sharing stories about partying so hard that one of us herniated a disc in our neck....

Peanut butter truffles Every year, I was write my list of Valentine’s Day desserts for two ideas, a recipe for ‘chocolate-peanut butter something’ always makes the list. The idea is never fully fleshed out, only a clear craving for some kind of variation on the power couple that is chocolate and peanut butter. These chocolate peanut butter truffles were meant to be before I even finished the full thought process....

Confession: I am not usually big on fudge, but I love this Peppermint Bark Fudge! I often find chocolate fudge too rich and too smooth (am I the only one?), but the mint in this recipe helps to balance the sweetness, and the crunch from the candy canes adds so much needed texture. It’s the perfect combination! Whether you’re a seasoned baker used to making traditional fudge recipes or you’re making fudge for the first time, we’ve got you covered....
