Loaded with ricotta, fresh mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, and lots of love! This pasta dish is a total crowd-pleaser. I love making these when I’m craving lasagna but don’t want to hassle with making an entire pan of lasagna. Ya feel me?! When the lasagna craving hits we also love making this Skillet Rotini Lasagna and this Ravioli Lasagna Recipe! Colder months means cozying up with all of the comfort food and this meal fits the bill....

Slow simmered broths are the rich bases of typical ramen recipes. But there is nothing slow about this recipe. Weeknight ramen dreams do come true! We have been savoring this quick vegetarian ramen on a regular basis because it’s so easy to make and super comforting. Move over, chicken noodle soup — ramen is the new bowl of comfort. I’ve made a Japanese-style soup with a simple twist, flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil and chili paste....

Can you make biscuits in an air fryer? There seems to be a long list of things you can make in an air fryer, and I recently found out that you can even air fry biscuits! For the majority of this recipe, I tested the most popular brand of refrigerated biscuits that many people grew up with and are widely available at grocery stores in the US, Pillsbury biscuits. Pillsbury biscuits come in different sizes and varieties....

I am immediately transported back to childhood memories with this recipe and love all of the nostalgic flavors. The Neapolitan ice cream combination is classic, nothing beats the quintessential vanilla, strawberry, chocolate flavors. Although I feel like nowadays you can make a banana split with any ice cream flavor you prefer. But for this recipe, I’m using the classic trio. This is a really fun summertime dessert that is perfect for parties or summer hang outs....

Each decadent bite of this traditionally Filipino dessert is filled with flavors of palm sugar, dark brown sugar, and rich coconut. Glutinous rice vs. jasmine rice Like Vietnamese Chè Bắp, Xôi Lá Dứa, Thai mango sticky rice, Filipino champorado, bibingka, or puto, rice is a staple ingredient in biko–it’s important to note you need to use sticky rice and it cannot be substituted by non-glutinous rice that is typically eaten with normal meals and savory foods....

One of the hardest things for many of us is putting a quality meal on the table during the week. Rushing home from work, maybe having to go grocery shopping, taking kids to different sporting events or practices…whatever it is, we are all busy! This dinner makes things easy especially if you prep the rice ahead of time. It is one of those “mix everything in a bowl and pour it in a pan” type meals....

What is Hawaiian style macaroni salad? What makes it authentic? All I can think about is to make sure it’s coated with lots of mayonnaise! Unlike other forms of mac salad, this local Hawaiian food highlights the fatty and flavorful mayonnaise coating the pasta. Mac salad is nothing without tons of that sweet and slightly tangy, but flavorful mayo seasoning glistening over plump macaroni pasta. When paired with other foods on a plate lunch, mac salad shines....

Move over pumpkin. Cranberries, enter scene. JK, I will forever love pumpkin. But cranberries have a special place in my heart too. If you don’t have any fresh cranberries on hand you can always opt for my Cranberry Orange Breakfast Bread made with dried cranberries! Cranberries are cholesterol and fat free, and very low in sodium. What’s your favorite way to cook or bake with fresh cranberries? Let me know in the comments below!...

OK, wait. I’ll semi take that back… I just love Christmas more!! I give Halloween a little love by dressing up, lighting a Fall candle in the house and decorate the porch with some pumpkins. I actually even splurged and got a seasonal door mat (It was on sale). In addition to that…Halloween treats are just too fun and cute to make! These Healthy Halloween Banana Ghosts are on repeat right now....

Made with an orange marmalade honey glaze to create a beautiful show-stopping roast for your holiday table whether it’s Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Usually the main course needs lots of time and preparation & that is just not the case with this recipe! Ham may seem intimidating to make, but trust me it’s probably one of the easiest things you can offer to bring! Looking for side dishes to serve with this delicious ham?...

The different varieties of mangoes range from Kent, which are sweet with sour hints of flavor, to Ataulfo mangoes, which have a rich sweet and tropical flavor. Sometimes recipes, like Vietnamese green mango salad, even call for unripened mangoes, or green mangoes, to use as a sour component for the dish. While this is a pretty tasty and popular fruit, I often see pre-cut mangoes available and being sold in grocery stores at a high premium....

If you’re a fan of thick, gooey, chocolate-filled cookies you’re not going to want to put this cookie down. Believe me! After making these peanut butter chip cookies and peanut butter cup cookies I knew I had to whip up another epic cookie recipe. But truthfully, what’s not to love about peanut butter & chocolate together in cookie form?! If you’re looking for a cookie with unbeatable taste, and a little sweet and salty in each bite you won’t want to miss out on making these!...

Plus, they are healthy for us too! All grapes—red, green and black—contain polyphenols and these polyphenols are found in every part of the grape: the skin, the flesh and the seeds. Polyphenols promote antioxidant activity and influence cell-to-cell communications. Numerous studies suggest that polyphenols contribute to heart health, with emerging evidence suggesting that they may also play a role in healthy aging. #GimmeAllTheGrapes This recipe is so unique but can also be totally customized....

Oatmeal contains soluble fiber which stays in the stomach longer and helps you feel fuller, longer. This can prevent overeating or binge eating later on in the day, which may help you maintain a healthy weight. This is another reason why eating breakfast is important. People may never feel hungry in the morning but I always like to remind individuals to “break the fast” with a small piece of fruit or just 1/2 cup of oatmeal....

This recipe is not only a quick and easy meal to make, but healthy and delicious too! If you’re craving more tacos, you’ll have to make my Crispy Baked Beef Tacos, shredded beef tacos or these Panko crusted mahi mahi tacos. With all the colorful ingredients that can diversify your gut health, you also have your omega-3s (from shrimp) and some fiber (from cabbage) packed into one beautiful dish. You can set up a taco bar and create a variety of toppings to sprinkle over your tacos once they are done....

Melons are hitting the stores and Sprouts has so many fun varieties to choose from! Think beyond cantaloupe and watermelon…they have many others such as canary melons, galia melons, hami melons, santa claus melons and casaba melons too! I love buying my seasonal melons at Sprouts because they have a great selection and are very affordable! I slice up the melon on Sunday’s and have it ready for smoothies and snacking throughout the week....

I remember the first time I made mousse I was intimidated, but I quickly found out that it really is a lot of fun, and pretty easy to make. At the center of it all, it’s the whipped cream that is folded into the melted white chocolate that makes it purely decadent, and thanks to the egg whites the texture is so extra light and fluffy that once you taste it you will be dreaming about my White Chocolate Mousse....

It’s easy to make and ultra moist just like my Classic Banana Bread with over ninety 5 star reviews, my Cinnamon Banana Bread, and my Pumpkin Banana Bread. This loaf marries the sweetness of over ripe bananas with the subtle earthiness of zucchini, resulting in a moist, tender loaf that’s perfect for any time of the day. What makes this loaf extra special is the brown butter frosting. The banana bread is really delicious on it’s own but the rich, nutty notes of brown butter perfectly complement the bread and adds a layer of indulgence....

Happy Monday! We’re back from our trip!! We had such a wonderful time exploring New York City together. I cannot believe we were so fortunate to be able to step away from our home for a solid 10 days. I must say…It feels DAMN good to be back! I missed the routine. The work. The work outs. Family. Friends. Fresh produce. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good vaca, but I’m happy to be back home, and blogging!...
