I’ve seen many posts online using premade guava paste and wanted to make my own guava jam from scratch instead. This recipe gives you a homemade version where you can make your own guava paste and shortcut pastry puff dough–you won’t have to wait in a long line to eat them! Background Pastelitos de guayaba y queso are traditionally Cuban puff pastries that are made with a guava paste and cheese filling....
It has a delicate, moist, cake-like texture and slightly sweet subtle flavors of pumpkin puree. The warmth of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon are key to taking it to the next level. With the change in seasons, I have naturally been craving pumpkin (from pumpkin cinnamon rolls to pumpkin pancakes) so I thought what about Pumpkin Cornbread? Serve it warm right out of the oven and you can enjoy however you like it but I highly recommend enjoying it bathes in this whipped butter....
The first day of Fall is inching closer and like many other girls out there I am getting anxious about pumpkin spice everything. Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, you name is and I’m ready for it! Oats: I recommend using whole rolled oats for this recipe and not quick oats or instant oats. You won’t get the same texture if using quick oats. Quinoa: I love adding some uncooked quinoa in my granola for added texture and crunch!...
You have your sweet bits, sour bits, caramelization, some crunch, and aromatic herbs in a single, colorful arrangement. This was one of the more popular dishes at my mom’s restaurant back in the day! Depending in which restaurant you order your grilled pork with noodles (bún thịt nướng), you’ll find that it’s presented in different ways. For the most part, ingredients are the same, and they’re both eaten with prepared fish sauce (nước chấm)....
This is a dish I ate allll the time growing up at home and at Chinese restaurants. And on a recent trip to Vietnam just before the world shut down, we had Vietnamese rice porridge at every single hotel breakfast. Oddly, it was the safest and most predictable offering at the hotels, with lots of add-ins that varied depending on the hotel. There are many ways to dress up this chicken rice porridge, but at the core of it, it’s chicken, rice, onion, and ginger....

Well, this one and my Instant Pot Corn & Potato Chowder. Sooo I bought a huge bag of russet potatoes from Costco the other day and this easy baked potato soup was the only thing I wanted to make. Cameron loves loaded baked potatoes and I knew he’d love this soup too! It’s creamy, not too heavy, and perfect as a meal or can be made as an appetizer soup....
For the record let me just say I.love.soup.season. Who could turn down creamy, cheesy, lasagna noodles swirled around ground beef and spicy Italian sausage all swimming in a rich, marinara sauce infused with flavors of fennel, Italian seasonings and fresh garlic?! Not me ? This soup is all about the toppings too. Hello whole milk ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, black pepper and lots of fresh basil. And if you’re looking for other lasagna recipes you’ll love these lasagna roll ups are easy and delicious, spinach and mushroom lasagna is always a hit, and this ravioli lasagna is one of my favorite lazy girl meals!...
If you’re as obsessed with every single soup from Panera as I am, you’ll be sure to love this copycat recipe. Dare I say you’ll love this homemade version even more. I’ve already decided myself I love it even more, especially with a grilled cheese! After I made this Panera Copycat Broccoli Cheddar Soup I knew I had to make another copycat recipe from Panera. With the chilly Fall weather creeping in, I am craving all of the cozy soups and this one hits the spot....
But hold on. Don’t take a bite just yet. My fresh Peach Galette is topped with a homemade whipped cream that is infused with freeze-dried raspberries. It’s heavenly! You can of course enjoy with vanilla ice cream too, whatever you love most! The presentation of this dessert will leave everyone wondering how you found the time to make such an elegant dessert. The truth is, making my Peach Galette is a lot easier than making a pie but still has all of the same pie flavors you love....
The other day my friend posted a Snapchat of something that looked delicious and I HAD to ask her what it was of course. She told me its a healthier version of Shepherd’s pie made with sweet potato instead of regular potatoes and a few other changes. I decided to look up a few versions to get some ideas and came up with a recipe of my own. So who knows why it’s called “Shepherds Pie?...
Ordering this refreshing drink goes hand in hand with all the spicy and delicious entrees we order at Thai restaurants. Think about it, what better combination for your scorching Thai basil fried rice, Panang curry, pad see ew, or papaya salad than a cooling sip of milky sweet tea? Thai tea origins Originally a popular street food drink in Thailand, you can now find it at many Thai restaurants or even bubble tea/boba cafes in the US....
With this recipe, you’ll learn how to make Panang curry paste from scratch using a mortar and pestle (or a food processor) so you can make a flavorful and tender beef Panang at home anytime. What is Panang curry? Panang curry, or sometimes called phanaeng, originates from central Thailand and dates back to the 19th century. This authentic red curry is made with chile pepper, makrut lime (also known as Thai lime) juice and leaves, coconut milk, and other seasonings....
Green tea: Yeah, I practice yoga and drink green tea. I’m pretty basic when it comes to that! I just feel better when I drink green tea, don’t you? I drink 1-3 cups during my work day and 1-2 cups of decaf in the evenings. I’ve been consistently included green tea in my diet since about October 2016 and I can honestly say I’ve seen such an improvement in my skin....
Each year my family and some friends gets together for an event called ‘crab massacre’. At one of these gatherings, a friend prepped an amazing mound of garlic noodles which we weren’t expecting at all. We were hooked and now can’t do any seafood boil without whipping up garlic noodles to go with it. Our boils are typically Dungeness crab, crawfish or shrimp, but when we run out of seafood, these garlic noodles are so flavorful that I love em with sides of boiled veggies or whatever leftovers are in the fridge....
These Strawberry Shortcake Cookies and Strawberry Scones are some of my other favorite desserts to make this time of year. Strawberry Shortcake is actually quite simple. It’s broken down into 3 components: the strawberries, the biscuit/shortcake, and the whipped cream. It all gets sandwiched together to create this mile-high, impressive, drool-worthy dessert. The secret to my Classic Strawberry Shortcake is making the shortcakes with a lemon infused sugar. It is simply granulated sugar mixed with fresh lemon zest; just rub it between your fingertips and this helps release the lemons natural oils into the sugar to infuse more lemony flavors into the biscuits....
Roasted vs. fried Of course there are many ways to cook Brussels sprouts, like our recent fried Brussels sprouts recipe, but this roasted version is equally delicious and uses less oil to cook, so it’s a healthier option. Selecting and prepping sprouts Make sure to choose smaller sized Brussels sprouts because they are less chewy and sweeter in flavor. To prep the sprouts, peel the outer leaves and trim the bottom part of the stem off since this is a bit harder to chew....
This drinks combines the flavors of Lipton® Green Tea with a touch of honey, fresh orange juice, cinnamon and warm spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. With each sip you’ll find that this mocktail is not overwhelmingly sweet and the citrus and spices makes this a perfect drink for nondrinkers, too! What is a hot toddy? Besides it being my grandmother’s favorite drink…a hot toddy first became popular in Western Europe during the 18th Century in northern England and Scotland....
Inspired by the crowd favorite Dot’s Honey Mustard Pretzels, my homemade version strikes similarities in every bite. Each pretzel perfectly combines sweet, salty, and a little tangy zesty kick. They have a satisfying crunch, are easy to make, and have that perfectly crafted flavor profile that makes them hard to resist! It wasn’t until just a few weeks ago when I tried Dot’s Pretzels for the first time. I grabbed a big bag from Costco on a whim and became obsessed, as one does....
Since all microwaves have different strengths and settings, it’s worth noting that my microwave is 900-watt power. Make sure to check the power level of your microwave and adjust accordingly since this could change the cooking time. Essential: use the right scoop It’s important to note that the “cup” I write about throughout this article and recipe card is the small plastic rice scoop that came with my rice cooker....
