PIN IT FOR LATER So a while back I told you about the taco party we had for my daughter’s 4th birthday, and the Mango Salsa that everyone loved. Well, here I am again. Since that day we have been loving tacos. Right up there at #1? Chicken tacos with Mango Salsa. But I know that maybe not everyone has time to make homemade salsa (though I know that you should make time because it is amazing!...

Recipe appeared first on The Recipe Critic. Friends — this is the first cheese ball recipe here on The Recipe Rebel! Can you believe it? I feel like every other week I’m saying that about something. It’s a little crazy to me — I feel like after more than two and a half years of blogging and 400+ recipe posts (yes, for real!), I should have nearly one of everything by now....

This bread pudding is so good. So so so good. I’m not even a bread pudding fan, but I will eat this salty vanilla-chocolate version. Up until now, I thought the only bread pudding I liked was my bread pudding with whiskey sauce. But this salty-sweet version with the malty soft pretzel is my new favorite. I sliced up soft pretzels and topped them with vanilla custard and chocolate chips....

You know that time when you were about half way through a recipe and you went to grab one of the essential ingredients from your fridge and it just was not there? And you swear that you just bought some and it’s probably hiding on you somewhere, and that’s understandable because you just moved (almost 3 months ago…)? Me neither. Kidding. Story of my life. And it’s not like I don’t try really hard to keep my fridge, pantry and freezer stocked....

Spring and summer are the seasons for throw-together meals that are simple, nutritious and packed with flavor. I can’t think of a dish that sums this up more than a classic pasta salad! If you can boil pasta and chop up a few ingredients, you can make an amazing pasta salad right at home. Here are just some of the many, many reasons why pasta salads are my best summer side dish:...

PIN IT FOR LATER I know. You think I shouldn’t be making such big claims. But here’s the thing: these are better. There’s nothing wrong with the classic No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars recipe that everyone has, with graham cracker crumbs, but with one simple switch you can have even better Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars: crushed vanilla wafer cookies. This is one recipe that I made long, long ago, and made often, and then kind of forgot about it as I started experimenting more and stopped making recipes more than once or twice....

The only real reason I ever eat a burger is for the bun. Brioche buns, to be more specific. I can pass up on a burger if it has a bad bun, because really: I’m just here for the carbs. A burger bun should be soft and fluffy, but never mushy or stiff. It shouldn’t detract from the actual burger, which in my case, I have to be honest: I’m usually a veggie burger girl....

What have I been doing for the last 2 weeks? Baking, filling, and photographing eclairs. It’s been a weird but delicious few weeks, friends! I set my mind on perfecting a small batch eclair recipe, and even though the recipe testing process is over, I’m still craving eclairs. Because the 1129 eclairs I’ve eaten in the last 10 days isn’t enough. If last year was the year of the macaron (or was it the year of the donut?...

You might be a food blogger if you buy 4 pounds of cherries and suddenly, your brain goes into overdrive thinking of possible cherry desserts to bake. I almost got through the whole bag before I could decide. Plus, Naomi already made this beautiful cherry concoction, so I really had to think hard. I decided to make y’all a fool because it’s simple and delicious. A fool is cooked fruit stirred into freshly whipped cream....

If your days are anything like mine, you can barely count to 5 at the end of the day. Also, at 5:30pm, this monster comes out of my stomach and growls ‘give me all the carbs you have.’ Do you have that monster in your house, too? I create chicken dinners for two because it makes my life so much easier. I created this easy creamy chicken bacon pasta without cream to satisfy that monster....

I feel like sometimes fruit salad gets a bad rep. Like often, it’s just a mish mash of bananas (uh), apples (delicious, but they quickly brown) and a can of some awful fruit cocktail. Let’s reinvent fruit salad! While I often think of fruit salad as a summer thing (because here in Manitoba it can be difficult to find nice looking fruit anywhere in the dead of winter!), it’s the perfect light and healthy accompaniment to a huge holiday feast or a simple potluck....

There is so much to love about this crispy chicken! This is a recipe I’ve been making since before I posted it originally in 2015, back when I was cooking just for fun 😉 The chicken breasts stay incredibly juicy, and because we’re baking them instead of frying, they are a much healthier option (and you also don’t have to smell frying oil for weeks to come!). This basil cream sauce was inspired by a recipe I found in a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook a long time ago — it’s a lighter take on creamy sauce, made with milk and a roux instead of cream....

If cuter cookies exist, I haven’t made them yet! If you love all things donut and sprinkles, these are the cut-out sugar cookie donut cookies for you! Please, don’t be intimidated by cut out cookies, this is a great recipe to start with because it only has a few ingredients, and the dough is very easy to work with. The hardest part of this recipe is separating the icing into 3 bowls to dye it different colors, but you can make donut cookies all the same color to make it more simple....

Spring is a little bit of a blur in my household with so many birthdays and holidays, but the one way I know the Easter bunny is on his way is the carrot cake! There’s a carrot cake on my counter from March until May. I’ve got a few opinions about carrot cake, as I’m sure you do, too, so I thought I would round up my favorite carrot cake recipes, plus some other fun Easter dessert ideas for you!...

Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs These honey mustard chicken thighs are marinated in a punchy mustard sauce with the sweetness of honey and onion powder. Before being baked, they’re wrapped in bacon. They’re exactly as delicious as they sound, and this is what I make for my kids when they say they want take-out food. Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs Honey mustard chicken thighs is my favorite thing to do with a pack of chicken....
