Noodles and sauce deserve an upgrade, and this weeknight dinner delivers. The crushed tomatoes provide tons of bright flavor and the sauce is enhanced by the fennel and Italian seasoning. Contrary to popular belief, marinara sauces don’t always need to simmer for hours on end! This meal comes together in 30 minutes yet is still infused with fresh flavors. I’m kind of a sucker for a good pasta dish. But I mean, aren’t we all?...
Types of salmon to use I like to use fattier pieces of salmon, like Atlantic or King Salmon, to prevent the salmon bites from drying out. Try to pick pieces that are relatively thicker, at least one inch, with an even thickness running throughout most of the filet. I like to buy my salmon from Costco because you can buy them in large filets (one side of the entire fish usually) and cut them down to your ideal size....
I share many chocolate chip cookie recipes, like my famous giant bakery-style Kroll’s Kookies, Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk (or chip) Cookies, Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies, Sheet Pan Chocolate Chip Cookies, and these Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. But this is my first time sharing a really good chocolate chip cookie recipe. If thin, soft, chewy chocolate chips cookies are your vibe, you’ve found the perfect recipe. I of course had to add these classic cookies to my 2024 Holiday Cookie Series and think Santa (and you!...
My Classic Banana Bread always gets rave reviews and my Pumpkin Banana Bread is a must make for the Fall and holiday season. But this Rum Banana Bread and even my Cinnamon Banana Bread are year-round must-makes and incredibly moist and tender. This rum banana bread really does have a perfectly moist texture and loaded with banana flavor. I love that it’s all made by hand (no mixers required) and made with simple, everyday ingredients....
Steak Cobb Salads are the best, right? In my house we eat a lot of salads: chicken salads, vegetarian salads, and quinoa salads to name a few. But sometimes switching things up with flank steak in our salad is just what our bodies are craving! This salad can be made for an easy weeknight dinner or to meal prep for lunches. If you prep in advance, be sure to keep the dressing on the side so the lettuce doesn’t wilt....
This is NOT a sponsored post, unfortunately. This post is NOT endorsed by or in any way affiliated with Costco, this entire post and party we threw as a parody for fun, and to celebrate our inability to avoid shopping at the warehouse. Props: creating the Costco warehouse vibe Over a few weeks while we discussed the props and food needed for this party we kept getting sidetracked for a little-big party (another party for another time)....
To be precise, it’s a blend of jalapeno, chile peppers, and other spices and ingredients. It is also commonly referred to as the “rooster sauce” because of the rooster logo on the label. Huy Fong Foods use roughly 100,000,000 pounds of red jalapeno-hybrid chile peppers annually to make sriracha, produced at a 650,000-square-foot facility in Irwindale, California. Where is sriracha from? Sriracha, pronounced as “see-rah-jah,” is just a generic term like “ketchup” or “catsup....
Slicing into a blood orange is almost as exciting as eating it. The color of the flesh is so vibrant and beautiful (thanks to the flavonoid Anthocyanin) and their bright orange rind blushed with red is stunning. Blood oranges are readily available during mainly winter months due to the climate where the fruit grows so you’ll want to be sure to make this blood orange salad while they are in season!...
My 4 Bean Salad is the perfect way to incorporate a nutritional punch into a holiday meal, weeknight dinner, brunch or lunch for any day of the week. And if you need more salad ideas to make, try my Mediterranean Orzo Salad, Healthy Broccoli Salad, or my favorite Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad. The combination of the 4 beans are complimented by the crunch from the cucumbers and bell peppers. and it’s all perfectly balanced out by the creaminess of the fresh avocado chunks....
With beets containing antioxidants and phytochemicals. and aiding in supporting liver health and lowering blood pressure these messy root vegetables are a-maz-ing. I made this recipe back in June of 2015 and wanted to retake the pictures and update the recipe a little – I had forgotten how tasty this recipe is! Did you make this recipe? Tag @krolls_korner on Instagram or send me a pic, I’d love to see!...
This recipe is a little more involved than your ordinary cookie recipe BUT it is so worth the effort. You will essentially be making these famous giant chocolate chip cookies and my best ever brownies and combining the two together. And I really don’t know what’s better than an epic chocolate chip cookie recipe filled with a homemade brownie. These cookies warm out of the oven are unreal. My favorite thing is giving them to someone and having them find the brownie surprise in the center after their first bite....
Chè bắp is a Vietnamese dessert, and (almost) a one pot wonder, so it is incredibly simple to make on the stove. This one features lots of flavors I like in a single dessert: corn, pandan, and rich coconut cream. This recipe makes enough to split into eight small bowls, but it easily scales up too. You can prepare this ahead of time, and reheat quickly for a tasty after dinner snack too!...
Contrary to popular belief, they aren’t hard to make. The take a little more time than, let’s say, cinnamons rolls you buy in a can but if you have a slow afternoon and feel like baking these fluffy and soft cinnamon rolls are for you! This post has been sponsored by The US Highbush Blueberry Council. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Kroll’s Korner running!...
The cake itself is soft, buttery, and tender, filled with plenty of cake batter flavor and colorful sprinkles. It is topped with luscious swirls of cream cheese buttercream frosting and has the perfect ratio of frosting to cake. Then of course, add more sprinkles on top. My Funfetti Cookie Bars, 4-in-1 Sheet Pan Cookies, Sheet Pan Rice Krispies, and Funfetti Cookies are a few other birthday or celebration-worthy recipes you need to try!...
Spring rolls historically came from ancient China and should not be confused with their American cousin, the egg roll. Egg rolls were created during the 20th century in the US and are typically filled with cabbage and meat and served deep fried with a bubbly, crunchy exterior (see my recipe for Vietnamese egg rolls). To learn more about spring rolls vs. egg rolls, you can read this article. While spring rolls may have as many as a few dozen variations of fillings and wrappers depending on the region they come from, they have a super thin, smooth, and egg-less wrapper made of wheat flour or rice flour, salt, and water....
DISCLOSURE: I WENT ON A SPONSORED TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS WITH NOURISH WITH LAMB, BUT WAS NOT COMPENSATED FOR THIS POST. ALL OPINIONS EXPRESSED ARE MY OWN. I had the opportunity to attend a Culinary Medicine & Lamb Workshop in New Orleans with several other Registered Dietitian Nutritionists around the United States. What an incredible feeling to connect with like minded people who all have the same passion towards nutrition, blogging, health and dietetics....
I made this Herb Chicken Pasta Bake with Modern Table Meals pasta…have you tried it before? I was introduced to it a couple months ago and I’m hooked! The noodles are full of plant protein, gluten free (if that’s your thing), and are made with a blend of lentils, rice, and pea protein. If you’re still feeling like ehhh…Tawnie, that sounds weird to me…they also have “meal kits” and mac and cheese you can start out with too – which I really like for a quick lunch or dinner paired with a veggie + protein....
Onigiri, also known as o-musubi or rice ball, is a Japanese food staple that you can find in Japanese restaurants or grocery stores. It’s an easy way to transport rice and this makes it the perfect on the go snack! The rice To clarify, onigiri is not made with sushi rice like inari sushi. Onigiri is made by lightly seasoning the rice with salt, whereas sushi rice is made with a seasoning of vinegar, sugar, and salt....
It requires minimal prep time and cleanup and is the ultimate comfort food. It’s ideal for meal prepping and makes a great lunch for the next day. Chicken thighs: I like to use boneless, skinless for ease, but use your favorite chicken thighs. For the sauce: you’ll need pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, garlic, and butter. Panko toasties: I love adding toasted panko breadcrumbs to recipes, like my pumpkin mac and cheese and this baked spinach artichoke dip....
This recipe is super simple: I use a slow cooker (crockpot) to cook the pork chops, make a mushroom gravy with the broth the chops are cooked in so there is no waste and add fresh rosemary and a little white wine to the sauce. Cooking with white wine helps enhance the incredible flavors in the pork chops and mushroom sauce. Don’t worry, the alcohol will evaporate during the cooking process....
