This is our family favorite version of Mac and Cheese. This Mac and Cheese is creamy, cheesy, and so scrumptious. I love this recipe so much, because its an absolute star recipe. It is made in gorgeous lush sauce made with butternut quash, onions, a couple of garlic cloves and some milk. The pasta is baked topped with parmesan cheese and parsley. The golden crust on the top is our favorite....
What is Croissant Bread? Croissant bread is exactly what it sounds like: croissant dough baked as bread. My inspiration for this recipe was this croissant loaf on Food52, but I used a scaled-down version of my own homemade croissants dough to produce just 1 loaf. Though I can’t promise how long your loaf will last… it doesn’t last long in my house! The other difference in my croissant bread recipe is we’re going to roll up the dough first, and then cut into rolls, instead of cutting strips and individually rolling them....
I’ll show you how to get that separation layering that makes this drink look so pretty. This drink is simply the best cocktail ever! Fantastic for sunny BBQ Weekends.

Served as part of a picnic, for an appetizer or as a hearty lunch (the kids especially love them with baked beans), these sausage rolls can be served warm, fresh from the oven, or cold straight from the fridge. A word of advice though – be sure to make enough. Everybody in my family needs to ‘test’ at least 2 each (so that’s 8 gone), then they like a minimum of 3 each for lunch....

This is a dish for those of us who like a lot of stuff in our salads. We’re talking minimum lettuce and maximum fun: fresh berries, salty sunflower seeds, sweet and peppery basil, gorgonzola cheese, and quinoa. All of the add-ins make for a slightly heartier salad packed with texture, plus the added bonus of antioxidants from all the berries. And if you have excess berries, try our berry cobbler recipe too....

I don’t mind porridge/oatmeal, but I’m definitely a toppings girl. I think it comes from the same part of my brain that used to dislike risotto. Mouthful after mouthful of the same taste. Even if it’s good, it’s going to be boring after the fifth forkful. Then I discovered toppings! Like the crispy garlic crumbs on my creamy tomato risotto. That was a revelation that led to a whole new risotto-eating Nicky....
Happy Friday! Breakfast is served. I love everything about donuts (doughnuts, donuts whatever). Fluffy, light, sugary, airy, doughy, sweet, GLAZE. So much glaze. While jelly donuts have been and will always be my favorite variety, I have a huge soft spot for glazed chocolate. Especially glazed chocolate donut holes—aka munchkins. Donuts have been on my mind for the past few weeks. Ever since I went out for coffee and donuts with a friend back in Philly....
Peel the garlic, onions, and potatoes. Halve the onions and slice them length wise and keep aside. Chop the garlic and keep aside. Dice the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Slice the chilies length wise (you can leave the seeds in if you want more heat). 2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet on a medium flame. When the oil gets hot, add the potatoes and toss them around to coat them in the oil....
I have loved drinking turmeric milk since I was a kid. I like the salty flavor in the milk, as mom adds a pinch of salt. We would only drink this turmeric milk, during colder months. And, just as my mom made this cozy drink for me, I make it for Inaaya when the weather starts to get chilly! What is Golden Milk? Haldi masala doodh aka godlen milk is a warm milk-based drink popularly made in India....

This recipe is brought to you in partnership with Red Star Yeast. While brainstorming new recipes to try recently, my brain kept going back to monkey bread. I don’t know how or why, but I have a feeling it was the cinnamon-sugar-butter-dough that kept my mind racing and stomach growling. I used it as inspiration for a totally new recipe—perhaps a doughnut that has the same pull-apart style as monkey bread?...
Have you ever tried the fig bars by the brand Nature’s Bakery before? We love them. Store-bought fig bars (like Nabisco Fig Newtons or Nature’s Bakery) have a smooth, soft, and thin “crust.” Today’s homemade fig bars aren’t exactly like the ones you can find in a store because they’re thicker, have more texture, and are obviously homemade. I love all that! If you’re looking for homemade snack bars/granola bars, these oatmeal fig bars have been a big hit, and I have many other granola bars published too!...

While I love a good baking challenge, when it comes to decorating baked goods, I like to keep things simple. Much like the Piping Tips 101 tutorial I did for 5 basic (yet beautiful) ways to pipe frosting onto cupcakes, think of this as your Sugar Cookie Decorating 101 course. Use These Decorating Techniques on Any Cut-Out Cookies The cookies you see here are my classic sugar cookies. These cookies, with their irresistible buttery vanilla flavor and soft, thick centers, are a wonderful base for decorating with icing....
