I know what you’re thinking and the answer is YES. This is real life. If you guys only knew how much I enjoy coming up with ridiculous no bake desserts or frozen ice cream treats come Spring…. SERIOUSLY. I mean, last year there was this Ice Cream Brownie Mountain, Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream and Coconut Cream Pie Ice Cream (ALL no churn!). And don’t you worry — I have just as many incredibly delicious things lined up for you this summer....

Real tiramisu. Authentic Italian tiramisu for two; you asked for it, and I delivered it for you. This tiramisu for two is a rich, decadent dessert that tastes just like it does at your favorite Italian eatery–even if that’s Olive Garden for you. Actually, if it’s OG for you, then I can tell you that this tastes even better, because I can almost guarantee short-cuts are used when tiramisu is produced on a large scale....

When it comes to desserts, pies are definitely a family favorite. They are such versatile desserts that can be used for multiple holidays, family gatherings and even seasons. Even though this year may be a bit different for us, I think it’s still important to celebrate the holidays even if we can’t gather like we’d like to! One great thing about pie is it doesn’t make a ton of servings (like a baked cheesecake or a giant layer cake), and our family of 5 (which includes two kids and a toddler!...

Now, I am not sure if this drink is Middle Eastern in origin or just a drink they cooked up, so I am not going to comment on the roots of the latte. (Unlike Saudi Champagne, where the name itself tells you the origin). But I can tell you this, its yum, its mild, its a great post-food drink for the guests in winters, and it most definitely is toddler approved (that’s coming from friends)...

If you’re looking for a way to jazz up ordinary chicken breasts with bacon, you are in the right place! When in doubt, put bacon on it. Wait, is that how it goes? Bacon makes everything better; or something along those lines. When you’re staring at yet another pack of chicken breasts during Whole30, come to me. I rub chicken breasts in a simple marinade, saute them, and then top with a store-bought guacamole and bacon....

Do you need an impressive, romantic meal for two for the holidays? All I want for Christmas this year is a quiet meal before the hustle of the holidays begin. I think Christmas Eve is the perfect day for a slow drive to look at Christmas lights, a couple of mugs of hot chocolate, and a meal full of bacon. This salmon is brushed with Dijon mustard, wrapped in apple slices and baked....

I smashed my macaroons flat on the baking sheet before baking, and now, I won’t do it any other way. You’ve got me: I’m a former scooper. I’ve done it. Twice. Not any longer. Flat macaroons maximize the toasted coconut flavor and crispiness. Yes, they are still chewy in the middle. They’re pretty much perfect. They don’t need a drizzle of chocolate, but why not? I have a friend (yo, Martin!...

Enjoy my more of my favorite casserole recipes like Ground Beef Casserole, Broccoli Casserole and Chicken Noodle Casserole. Cheesy tater tots baked atop a creamy, beefy veggie mixture? Yes, please! This is the ultimate kid-friendly recipe that always hits the spot. This Tater Tot Casserole really has a lot to love. It’s cheesy, beefy, creamy and flavorful as can be. Plus, you can make a ton of adjustments based on your preferences (it’s easy!...

Try this Mint Chocolate Lasagna next for a new twist! I’m sure we’ve all had regular Lasagna, but have you ever had a dessert Lasagna? This Chocolate Lasagna is one of my favorites! It’s so simple to make and there’s no baking required. It’s made with a chocolate cookie crust, a layer of cheesecake, chocolate pudding, and homemade whipped cream. It’s similar to this homemade Lemon Lush Dessert in that it has four delicious, creamy layers, but I did opt for pudding mix and a no-bake crust in this recipe....

Love a good crockpot chicken recipe? Check out my recipe for the JUICIEST Slow Cooker Chicken Breast, this Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice or one of our favorite Crockpot Dump Meals. What a WINTER. I don’t normally raise my voice around here, but it’s been a little ridiculous. We’ve had more snow days already (much more!) in 2019 than we had in the entire 2017-18 school year. It’s not only been miserably cold, we’ve gotten huge dumps of snow and the wind — it’s not helping any of that....

We are in that loooooong stretch of winter before spring comes, and I’m readying myself with all the easy, cozy crockpot meals. Easy crockpot meals are what are going to get me through the next 3 months, so I wanted to boost up my inventory here on The Recipe Rebel so that we all have plenty of options 😉 Since we live essentially in the middle of nowhere (we’re a few miles out of a town of about 500 people), we don’t have a lot of access to restaurants....

This crockpot soup is perfect for meal prep. Store it in the fridge and heat it up throughout the week or keep it in the freezer! It’s soup time again! Honestly though, it was never not soup time around here…I’m not mad about it. 😉 My kids? They’d prefer I crank out a few more mac and cheese or spaghetti recipes. One day I’ll get them to love soup. And maybe this Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup will be the one that changes their minds....

I know I’ve probably said this a million times before, but breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, regardless of what time of day it is. I could eat these Banana Oatmeal Pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you wouldn’t hear me complaining! Sweet or savory, bacon and eggs or pancakes and waffles — we love it all. All the time. If you’re looking for another awesome fall pancake recipe, you’ve got to try these Apple Crisp Pancakes or this Healthier Cinnamon Roll pancake — they are amazing!...

I could write a whole monologue about my love for this Dragon Chicken Recipe but all I’ll say…is…Dragon chicken is my all time faaaaaaavorite Indo-Chinese cuisine and lets just leave at that. Also, I would marry it if I could (True story) So Indo-Chinese cuisines are basically just Chinese food, spiked with a little bit of Indian spices to make it more appealing to the average brown man. Apparently it was developed by a Chinese Community living in Kolkata for over a Century…....

Cherry cheesecake was pretty much my favorite dessert growing up. My mom had a few go-to dessert recipes and her no-bake cherry cheesecake was one that I always enjoyed! Whenever we would go out for ice cream, I always always got New York Cherry Cheesecake — it is still one of my favorites! These days, I’ve expanded my list of favorites even more but I still come back to a big bowl of this no churn ice cream now and then 😉...

When I think of figs, I think of Teva-wearing hippies in Berkeley sitting in trees eating dried figs from the bulk bins of the co-op. And that’s cool. Real cool. I love the restaurants in Berkeley and the food co-ops are even better. Anyone else having a co-dependent relationship with the daily pizza menu at The Cheese Board Collective? No? Just me? Ok. Sometimes figs make me think of the ritzy San Francisco restaurants that serve them all alone on a plate and fawn over each fruit like it belongs to the royal family....

I’ve shared a few donut recipes before, and they are good, but…they are baked. Let’s do this donut thing right. And by that I mean FRIED. The first time I fried something, I felt like the most domestic girl in the world. I couldn’t believe this skill was in my arsenal. I decided it must be genetic, since my grandmother made the best fried chicken ever. Ok, so the first time I fried something, it actually didn’t go so well....

Today I’m sharing something extra special with you! I’m partnering with siggi’s Yogurt as part of the first #MySiggisChallenge! Across Canada creator’s and dieticians are competing to come up with a unique way to showcase siggi’s Yogurt — and this Fruit and Yogurt Breakfast Tart is my creation. It’s no secret we love cheesecake, but we also love fueling our bodies with nourishing foods. This Breakfast Tart is a fun breakfast or brunch made with good-for-you ingredients, like whole grain oats, pure maple syrup, fresh berries and siggi’s Icelandic Skyr Yogurt....

I don’t think I’ve had a dessert that wasn’t frozen in ages. Wait, that’s not true. I inhaled most things in the Tartine window. But I don’t think I’ve made a non-frozen dessert in my own kitchen in quite a long time. Glass jars of local heavy cream just keep making their way into my fridge. I repeatedly make plans to bake a hot berry cobbler, pour cold cream on top, and then eat the entire bowl while moaning....

This green curry in a hurry is a page straight out of my weeknight dinner book. I’m always looking for healthy, quick dinners. In order to get dinner on the table fast, we don’t have to rely on pre-made or packaged food! I promise! My favorite thing about this meal is the emerald green sauce. It’s simply fresh baby spinach pureed with a can of coconut milk. So easy, so vibrant....
