This is an alternative version to my Rice Cooker Coconut Rice, for if you don’t have access to a rice cooker. Still super simple and super delicious! The addition of the tinned coconut milk to the rice results in beautiful aromatic, creamy-tasting rice.The oils in the coconut milk help to ensure the grains remain separate – rather than clumping together. Coconut Milk – Use full-fat coconut milk for this recipe because it gets watered down later and we don’t want to lose any of that rich, sweet coconut flavour....

Creamy Tomato Sauce is another winner pasta recipe in my kitchen. My kiddo’s love it and we make it quite often. The pasta sauce used for this recipe is a cream cheese tomato sauce and it is creamy, rich, thick (coats the pasta well) & super delicious. I add broccoli with my pasta as not only it is my lil ones favorite veggie but also this combination tastes great and the rich broccoli green color compliments the orange sauce color, making it even more appetizing....

The first thing to go on the buffet table? ✔ Easy to make ahead and reheat/assemble later? ✔ Inexpensive ingredients? ✔ Flippin’ delicious? ✔ Ok, so now that’s all covered, let’s get right on with the Buffalo chicken wings recipe! Each wing is chopped into the two pieces, dried thoroughly with kitchen towels (to ensure they don’t absorb too much baking powder) then mixed in a bowl with baking powder (it HAS to be baking powder, NOT baking soda), salt and pepper....

I worked in a fried chicken shop for 5 years when I was at high school and college, so I know my crispy chicken tenders! Back then, most of the chicken was chopped in store on a bandsaw, but sometimes, when the cut stuff was running low, we had to get the cleaver out. Yep, a 15-year old, with a cleaver, trying not to cut any fingers off. We also had a massive old pressure cooker, a burger grill that literally spat out flames (those burgers tasted amazing though) and more than a few interesting/scary customers....

Let me tell you a few things about these quinoa patties. They are so versatile! Serve them warm over salads, serve them warm in pitas (falafel style) with creamy sauce and greens, layer them into a sandwich with avocado and cheese, or even simply drizzled with hot sauce. They’re meatless. If you’re trying to limit your meat, these are a wonderfully healthy option. I also love zucchini fritters, corn fritters, and pumpkin chili too!...

Homemade dark chocolate coconut blondies are one of the best desserts to recently come out of my kitchen. Each blondie is super soft, decadent with dark chocolate, full of brown sugar, coconut, and buttery flavors. They’re chewy on the edges and oh-so-soft in the centers. And I can’t wait for you to experience them! Why These Blondies Are Better Than Brownies I have something you’re going to love more than any brownie you’ve ever tasted....

Giving a different meaning to coffee cake! It’s been a while since I developed a truly fabulous layer cake, but a dear friend’s birthday called for something special… and FLAVOR most certainly had to be on the dessert menu! Simply put, this coffee-infused layer cake is nothing short of exquisite and there’s a few other ways to make it including as a sheet cake, 2 layer cake, cupcakes, and more....

I am sharing, how to make homemade lemonade with lemon juice and simple syrup using Instant Pot and Stovetop. There is something so refreshing about fresh squeezed lemonade that makes it irresistible! Today I’m sharing my classic lemonade recipe that is our family favorite and on repeat every summer. Once you try it, you won’t buy the store-bought ones, it’s that good and easy too! This homemade lemonade recipe stays fresh for days in the refrigerator so make a big batch, sit back and enjoy every sip of this lemonade drink!...

How to prepare Ginger Mint Lemonade Prepare sugar syrup first by simmering a cup of water to which 2/3 cup sugar or brown sugar is added. Allow sugar to dissolve completely and cool. Keep aside. In another vessel, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Turn off heat and add half a tbsp of chopped ginger and 1/2 cup of fresh mint leaves. Place lid and allow to steep....

My experimentation to get a gooey caramel filling that: a) Didn’t just melt into the brownie mix, leaving the bottom of the brownie lovely and caramelized, but the gooey centre indistinguishable from the rest of the brownie and b) Produced a lovely pocket of caramel that stretched and oozed when you bit in – regardless of whether the brownie was warm or had cooled completely, meant that I had to knock up a few of these sinful little Gooey Chocolate Caramel Brownies treats....

I’m pretty sure that having one of these every evening for the past 4 evenings isn’t that healthy. However, it is pretty flippin fantastic :-) I usually find myself making spooky cupcakes, Frankenstein mint mousses, skeleton veg crudite plates and oreo spiders for the kids at this time of year. Rather than follow on with tradition, I decided this year to make something for us adults. We deserve to have delicious Halloween treats too (in addition to the leftover sweets, cakes and oreo spiders)!...

I wonder how many people will look at the pics and go ‘Mmmmmmm’. Only to read further, find out it’s made with avocado – and be instantly disgusted at the thought of avocado and chocolate. I know I would have – about 12 months ago… I mean, why do people do these things – use a natural, healthy ingredient and try to turn it into something that resembles junk food or ‘naughty’ food (erm, like my sweet n’ salty kale crisps)....

I’m in love with a doughnut. A doughnut that has enough sweet stuff to make it feel indulgent and satisfying, but plenty of healthy stuff in there to keep your halo intact. A doughnut that can be eaten for breakfast with zero guilt. Yay!! Those ruby red grapefruits are looking so good right now. I bought a load of them for breakfast, and watched with a slightly wicked smirk as my kids had one for breakfast – all the while pulling their pinched ‘grapefruit faces’....

I previously shared How to Make Watermelon and Strawberry Juice and this juice is pretty similar too. These homemade fresh juices are great for toddlers and for adults. In the summer months, fruit juices essentially keep us hydrated and can give a wonderful boost of energy.

Cantaloupes are absolutely delicious and nutritious....

This pork wonton recipe may not be the lowest carb thing you’ll eat, but once in a while, they are delicious. It’s actually fun to make them, especially if you force convince your kids to help. It’s one of those activities where your hands are busy but you can chat with each other, and find out what’s been going on at school. My son helped me make these, which made him curious to try them as well....

Onions are such an important kitchen staple that it’s hard to imagine cooking a good meal without them. They are usually the first building block of flavor in soups, stews, and sauces; they also add texture and color to salads and salad dressings. You may have your own way of dicing onions, but are you doing it the safest and most efficient way? It makes sense to learn, as it will make your prep time in the kitchen go much faster....
