Hands up, lemon lovers! So, I’m a big time Lemon Lover (Lemon Monkey Bread, Lemon Blueberry Doughnuts, Lemon Chicken — you name it). But it hasn’t always been this way. And no, I’m not going to tell you the story of how I used to hate lemon every single time I make a lemon dessert. Maybe I’ll save that story for my lemon dessert next week 😉 Now, before you go and skip ahead to the recipe and get all mad about it, let me just tell you one thing: this recipe uses lemon JELLO....

I feel certain that a whole cookbook could be written on Southern lemon desserts. There’s lemon chess pie, lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, lemon curd, lemon cream pie, lemon icebox cookies, lemon poppyseed cake, lemon squares, lemon pound cake, and lemon this and lemon that! It seems that Southerners love lemon in more things than just sweet tea. I’m slowly making my way through the lemon-flavored classic desserts and scaling down the recipes to serve two....

What is mutton chaap or Mutton chops? “Chaap” is simply the Urdu/Hindi word for chops. A “chop” is called so, because it is a single piece of bone-in meat CHOPPED from a larger piece. Any part of the goat or sheep can be made in to a bone in meat chop; neck, leck, shoulders, ribs. Mutton Chop – Bone in meat from Older sheep And Goat Lamb chop – Bone in meat from Younger sheep....

Enjoy more bright and zesty lemon flavor with recipes like Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup, Slow Cooker Honey Lemon Chicken Breast and some classic Lemonade! Lemon orzo is so creamy, zesty, fresh and easy to make! I think my favorite thing about this recipe is that it’s equal parts fresh (thanks to the lemon juice) and comforting (thanks to the pasta). It’s the best of both worlds! As we all transition from the colder winter months and into spring, it’s so great to have trusty recipes like this to turn to....

While we all love the spices of winter and fall (think: chai spices and warm winter mulling spices for red wine), I think they become even more vibrant with orange. The acidity of the orange zest enhances the warmth in the spices and balances them out. This is why I make my Orange Spice Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving. These cookies are very similar to a chewy molasses cookie, but with even more spices....

Peanut butter nutella cookies These cookies are based on my 3-ingredient flourless peanut butter cookies that I whip up all the time in my house. I don’t think a week goes by that we don’t make these cookies! The kids love them, they’re easy to stir together just by hand (no electric mixer required), and they’re ready in minutes. I’ve given these cookies as holiday presents, I’ve handed them to landscapers on a break, and I have even dropped them off to new parents....

The pumpkin cookie of your dreams is here! These pumpkin snickerdoodles are fluffy on the inside, chewy on the edges and perfectly spiced.

Every time I eat cinnamon, it feels like a big hug. It’s so warm and comforting!...

This recipe makes 12 whoopie pies from 24 soft pumpkin cookies....

Is there a more quintessential Sunday dinner that a classic Roast Chicken with Vegetables?

Although roasting the chicken takes some time, this Roast Chicken and Vegetables requires very little prep time, just rub that chicken down and throw it into a hot oven in a baking dish along with some of your favorite roasting veggies....

I originally made this salad so I could finally have some variation to serve on dinner parties, other than the more popular pasta salad and sweet cashew salad that I regularly make. But I now think, this is going into the list of “strawberry season must-make recipes”. The ingredients are very simple and if you like berries and greens, this is the salad for you. Bonus: This salad has a nice sweet and tangy Salad dressing made with strawberries that just adds that extra oomph....

There’s, like, a million food holidays to celebrate. Well, probably only 365 of ’em, but still. Every time I log into twitter, I see another food holiday hashtag trending. #nationalswedishmeatballsnotfromikeaday! Or, #nationaldumplingsdaybutnotthepuffyonestheflatones. Enough, I say. I’m only celebrating one national food holiday, and that’s Pie Day. Er, I mean Pi Day. Today is Pi Day! It’s March 14, the moniker for 3.14, as in the circumference of a circle in a math equation....

Even though tiramisu is easy to make (especially since it’s a no bake dessert), I find myself wanting a small bite of it instead of a big pan of it. I want something portable, and these coffee flavored cookies with a mascarpone frosting that mimics the inside of a scoop of tiramisu really deliver. For these tiramisu cookies, I based the espresso cookie base on my hazelnut cookies recipe. I like the way they bake up perfectly round with the smallest dome....

I just found out that my parents used to host Thanksgiving breakfast and Thanksgiving dinner. I know I was around for all of it, but I don’t have any memories of just how many kolaches I could shove in my mouth as a kid. The primary reason they served two meals on Thanksgiving day is because my grandparents and great aunt would arrive early to help with all of the prep work....

Easy Chicken Parm Hello, Friday date night! I’m a big proponent of the at-home date night. You can spend a ridiculous amount of time on the first bottle of wine while leisurely cooking for each other. I love to divide and conquer the chopping of vegetables or the steps of a recipe. Easy chicken parmesan is a great meal to cook together with your partner. I don’t know a single person that doesn’t love chicken Parmesan....

If your favorite book store doesn’t carry it, let me know and I can totally fix that! I had such a blast writing this book. I’ve been tucking away recipes for a savory cooking for two book for years, and I finally got the chance to put them in print!
