I have been battling a little cold this week so I felt like making some comfort food for myself. This recipe hit the spot, that’s for sure! I wanted to try something new and different with these roll ups. Cooking with zucchini has been sorta my thing lately so I decided to incorporate zucchini into this recipe as well. I used a potato peeler and peeled strips of the zucchini and layered some onto the lasagna noodles before spreading the ricotta cheese mixture on....
What’s the meaning of a boodle fight? Eating kamayan was the traditional way of eating before Spanish colonization, which brought utensils like spoons, forks, and knives to the islands. Unlike other parts of Asia, Filipinos don’t traditionally use chopsticks either, but these days it’s a welcome utensil too. It’s an important tradition that I grew up with in the Philippines and abroad in the US, and these days it’s gaining popularity specifically with boodle fight feasts....

I love having one with some fresh fruit and yogurt for a more balanced and satisfying breakfast but they also make for a great snack with some peanut butter too! These banana carrot muffins are a great recipe to make when you have those ripe bananas sitting on your counter and you’re not sure what to make with them! Of course, banana bread is always a great option but sometimes making muffins is just easier!...

They have the most delicious crunchy tops, chewy centers, and the toasted flavor of the brown butter is a total game changer. I’m kind of in love with brown butter. I love it in cookies and in frostings and I’d probably drink it if that were an acceptable thing to do. ? Traditional blondies already have a caramel-y flavor thanks to the brown sugar but I’ve found adding the brown butter gives it a rich, nutty flavor and simply elevates the entire dessert....
As if the cookies and cream cookies weren’t delicious enough I had to go and make the recipe into bars ? You deserve it! These Funfetti Cookie Bars or Banana Chocolate Chip Bars are high up in the rankings these days too! All of these recipes are freezer friendly too so you can snag a treat whenever the craving hits.

Errr, and my Zucchini Banana Bread and these Zucchini Taco Boats! You’re going to love this bread for its rich, indulgent chocolate flavor and how incredibly moist it is. The zucchini adds moisture to the loaf so it really ensures it stays soft and tender. In most zucchini bread recipes, you wring out the excess moisture in the zucchini for folding into the batter. But for this double chocolate zucchini bread, I actually skip that step to lock in all that moisture into the bread....
Mom would always make a big batch of sinangag with pork tocino and longanisa to start off the family’s day. This simple, but flavorful side dish is so easy to follow that you’ll want to make it every day. Garlic rice in Filipino cuisine Garlic rice, also known as “sinangag,” is a big staple in traditional Filipino breakfasts (just like pandesal)–this started in the Philippines and you can find it in many Filipino American homes, restaurants, and fast food companies like Jollibee and Chowking....

The fridge doesn’t feel complete when it isn’t stocked with at least a dozen eggs. I use them just about every day, whether it’s making these delicious on the go taco muffins or my quinoa egg scramble, there is always something I am using eggs for. But why eggs? What is their role nutritionally? Egg Nutrition One large egg has varying amounts of 13 essential vitamins and minerals, including choline plus the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, all for 70 calories....
This salad packs an earthy, crunchy, sweetness from the freshly shaved Brussels sprouts, honey crisp apples, red onions, toasted pecans, and delicately crisp prosciutto. But c’mon, the flavors don’t stop there. The lemony freshness of the honey-Dijon dressing balances out the slightly bitter Brussels sprouts and the sweetness of the apples and dried cranberries to make this salad a flavorful, nutritious addition to your holiday meal. And you can’t forget the shaved parmesan cheese....
And you have to bring something, because you’re the one in charge of dessert and liiiiike, everyone’s counting on you so it has to be really tasty. Amiright? Well, I got you. I have your back and you have mine! Chickpea flour has 6 times more protein than all purpose flour…which makes sense since chickpea flour is essentially just chickpeas! You’re also getting vitamin B-6, iron, magnesium and potassium. (woo!...
You’ll become a pro in no time, I promise! Basically, when you heat the butter, the water evaporates from the milk solids, and those milk solids get toasty, with that dark-speckled look and the sweet, savory, nutty, toffee-like aroma. It’s liquid gold. It’s nutty and toasty, and it adds an exceptional depth of flavor to basically anything it touches. You can use it in both sweet and savory recipes. I have some ideas listed for you below....

Pumpkin and chocolate may seem like an unusual pairing, but trust me—it’s a match made in heaven. There’s something about the earthy sweetness of the pumpkin that compliments the chocolate so well like in my Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Cookies, Pumpkin Mug Cake, or my Pumpkin Brownies. Not to mention the cream cheese frosting on top. This crowning glory is smooth and creamy, slightly tangy and sweet, and it complements the pumpkin flavor really well....
We try not to overcomplicate dinner time, especially with our newborn. We love chicken, veggies and rice and this meal is something different than our usual teriyaki chicken rice bowls. Chicken thighs are something we kind of always have stashed in our freezer and this meal is great because you can toss whatever veggies you have on hand onto the sheet pan. This is kind of a back to basics type of meal: chicken, rice and veggies....
It’s so nice to see the slow cooker/crock pot back on the counter again. As the weather is beginning to cool down, it’s time to bring back all your favorite Fall comfort foods. This chicken pot pie soup is a perfect transitional soup into the cooler weather. It’s not too heavy and feels light thanks to all the vegetables, yet it is cozy, comforting and totally satisfying. Some other favorite soup recipes we’ve been enjoying as Fall is approaching is this Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup, Italian Wedding Soup, and Tomato Tortellini Soup....
The perfect crinkle on top gives way to dense, fudgy brownies that are chocolatey-rich and chewy with every bite. I really like the idea of making a small batch brownie recipe because sometimes when the chocolate craving hits you simply want to make something small to satisfy the craving. But, if you are in the mood for more you can always whip up my best ever brownies or my Sheet Pan Brownies....
