This Italian Meatball Soup recipe combines the savory goodness of homemade Italian-style meatballs with a flavorful broth and a variety of vegetables. Soup can be a hard sell to my kids, but a soup that’s loaded with meatballs and pasta is always a win around here! It’s a nutritious and balanced meal in one pot, perfect for busy weeknights for the whole family. Whether it’s a cold winter evening or a breezy summer night, this soup is a versatile dish that fits all seasons and occasions....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. Burger season is upon us and we’re making it a good one! We started with a step by step video for our Best Burgers Ever, and now we’re moving on to these incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken burgers. We love grilling burgers in the summer (really, all year round!), but there’s no place for the dry, flavorless burgers of the past....

I laaaaavve how light and refreshing this dessert feels. Just like a good ol’ bowl of chilled Rasmalai. I mean, I am equally crazy for the more indulgent desi desserts like, gajar ka halwa, or shahi tukrey, but some days, you just need a nice airy light creamy dessert. oh and its also budget friendly! so win win! The recipe is pretttttty straight forward, all the elements are prepared separately and then dumped in together to create something delicious!...

Lauki ki sabzi or lauki ki bhujia roughly translates to bottle gourd curry. But “Bhujia” literally has no translation in English, and the closest word we go to is “curry”. But technically, this isn’t a curry at all. Its sliced bottle gourd, cooked in its own juices without adding any extra water. It eventually shrinks and becomes a sort of a scrambled vegetable dish. If you are new to this vegetable or are attempting to make lauki ki bhujia for the first time away from home, I’ve got you covered....

Love orzo? Try my One Pot Lemon Orzo pasta or this Sausage Orzo Soup next! I admit, at first I was hesitant to try this Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup (maybe it’s because of my love of Lemon Desserts??), but once I did I was completely hooked. The dish has a great balance between the tangy freshness of lemon and the savory flavor of the vegetables and tender chicken. Don’t worry — the lemon doesn’t make it overly lemony, but it adds a lovely burst of flavor when the soup has finished cooking....

Making a cookie that requires a frosting is something that I usually save for special occasions, like making my hazelnut cookies with the chocolate drizzle as one of my birthday desserts. Yes, I said ‘one’ of them. The other one is my chocolate sugar cookies that have an optional fluffy vanilla buttercream on top. They’re great without the frosting, but the extra step is very worth it. The frosting, which is more like a thin lemon glaze is the key to these lemon ricotta cookies....

So there’s a bit of a story here. My oldest girl’s 4th birthday was at the end of May. Since my kids still go to bed pretty early, we usually have the family over for supper to celebrate so we can wrap things up pretty early. For her birthday this year, we did a big taco spread with chicken and beef, hard and soft taco shells, tortilla chips and — just to mix things up — I bought a jar of Newman’s Own Mango Salsa....

This might be a bit embarrassing for me, but I’m sharing with you the meal I eat most. This is my single girl supper; it’s nothing fancy or complicated. I never tire of it, and any chance I get to make this meal, I do. My husband claims to not like pickled or briny flavors, and this pasta is chock full of pickled things, like marinated artichoke hearts and olives....

I feel like the name of this recipe is a little misleading. Calling these “Mom’s Double Chocolate Cookies” gives you the impression that I’m capable of following someone else’s recipe. In all fairness, most of the time when I’m using mom’s recipes I’m not really adapting them all that much (because, as I’ve mentioned before, my mom was one to find the perfect version of a recipe and stick with that for years — like these Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies or my Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies)....

I should clarify: grilled or roasted pineapple milkshakes. These taste like mini pineapple upside down cakes, in liquid form. They are SO good. My house is bursting at the seams with fruit lately, thanks to the arrival of Spring. We have been gobbling up fruit like monkeys. We like it in enormous salads, we like it drizzled with kefir, and we love a good fruit kebab speared with sweet potatoes for an afternoon snack....

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it. Pumpkin Cake Roll with whipped cream: I made us a mini cake roll today! Just because we don’t bake large cakes here at Dessert for Two doesn’t mean we should be denied the pleasure of a good Fall cake roll. I use my brownie pan that measures 8x8" to make small cake rolls....

If you’ve never had Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars, then get ready for your life to change. I feel like everyone has a recipe for magic bars from their childhood. You know, those magically delicious, totally irresistible, gooey, caramel-y, chocolate-y slices of goodness? I will admit, I don’t make Seven Layer Bars often. But when I do they’re gone within hours. Plus, they’re so easy to throw together! Looking for more delicious bar cookies?...

There are so many things I love about today’s recipe. In this recipe I used Muir Glen Organic Fire-Roasted Crushed Tomatoes (new to Canada!), chicken breasts, and a bit of pesto and salt to punch up the flavor — you really need nothing else! The flavor of these tomatoes is so intense and incredible. Muir Glen uses only the best, vine-ripened tomatoes and you can tell as soon as you crack the can....

This is the BEST Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe I’m sharing this recipe today with so much love. I’ve been scaling down recipes since 2009, but it wasn’t until 2010 that I started this blog. One of the first things I wanted to share here in this space is a small-batch chocolate chip cookies recipe. If I remember correctly, small-batch chocolate chip cookies were one of the first 20 recipes I shared....

If you feel like things have been a little off around here lately, you’re right. This is the best time of year for fall baking, and I’m really not cranking out that many recipes for you. The truth is, I think my kitchen has a hex. I have had more recipe failures this past month than ever before. First, it was the pumpkin muffins that were so dry, even the dog wouldn’t go for one....

I used to not be a fan of fruit desserts because I felt that fruit should be enjoyed raw in its natural state. But I was clearly missing the picture. Fruit desserts are a perfect example of when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Either that, or I finally had a really great piece of pie. It was time to see the big world of desserts out there....

Got more boneless pork chops? Try my Juicy & Flavorful Smothered Pork Chops next! I’m not exaggerating when I say that these may just be the best, juicy pork chops I’ve ever had. Now, while I do love my air fryer pork chops, instant pot pork chops, and crockpot pork chops, there’s something so great about a simple Baked Pork Chops recipe. And this easy pork chop recipe is hard to beat!...

I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse, but I never have extreme food cravings while pregnant. I’m definitely hungrier than normal and eat nearly constantly throughout the day, but I don’t wake up with pickle or ice cream cravings. Or, worse: pickle ice cream cravings. However, I won’t lie–I saw dill pickle cotton candy at a local candy shop, and I was intrigued. And while I probably would have enjoyed it, my love of dill and vinegar precedes pregnancy....
