Steps For Smoking a Chicken Breast It’s really very simple, here’s what you’ll do: If you like this recipe, check out our smoked pork shoulder and this perfectly smoked beef chuck roast. How Long To Smoke Chicken Breasts Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, it will take about 2-3 hours to smoke them. You want to smoke chicken low and slow at 225° so the smoke has time to penetrate the chicken and give it that smoky flavor....

Keep It Simple With Canned Beans If you are really serious about your beans, you’ll start with dry black beans and then cook them for an hour or two first. But then, that wouldn’t be quick and easy. So we’ll save that approach for another recipe. (A compromise? Cook the beans in a pressure cooker.) This recipe is better for a “the chicken is on the grill, what am I going to serve it with?...

Juicy Chicken Tip: The secret to a juicy baked chicken breast is to cook it at a high temperature, blasting it with heat over a short period of time. Use a meat thermometer for 100% accuracy to ensure you don’t over-bake and dry out the chicken. Chicken Options: Chicken thighs and drumsticks bake beautifully when prepared this way. All you’ll need to adjust is potentially the cooking time. No matter which cut of chicken you use, you’ll want to make sure it still reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit....

In the summer, I add enough water to turn this thick sauce into a deliciously refreshing chilled soup. It’s difficult to believe that such simple ingredients - yogurt, olive oil, grated cucumbers, garlic, and dill - combine to create such a wonderful sauce. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this creamy tzatziki sauce. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: You can make a big batch and refrigerate it....

Lazy, because even when I’ve eaten every last pickle in the fridge, I can usually find a few fresh eggs, a couple mushrooms, and half an onion there. Lazy, because when I can’t be bothered to go to the store, I have to look for what I can scrounge in the garden, and the only things thriving in my garden bed at the moment (early March) are parsley and chard....

If you’re a bean lover, gluten-free, or a vegetarian, a plate of enfrijoladas is likely to get its hooks into you. You’ll make it once, appreciate its easy comfort, and want to make it on repeat. What are Enfrijoladas? Think of enfrijoladas as the distant cousin to enchiladas. The difference? The sauce is made from beans instead of tomatoes or tomatillos. And unlike enchiladas, which are routinely rolled up snug with the fillings inside, enfrijoladas are often folded in half with the fixings either inside, on top, or both....

I’m even giving away my secret dressing ingredient with this one – pickle juice. Yes, pickle juice. I tried it once on a whim and now it has become the secret flavor in my salad dressing that takes it to the next level. All you have to do is mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl or large measuring cup with a whisk and that’s it. Use it on a salad fresh and store the leftovers in the fridge....

It’s obvious that I love cooking (and eating). When I’m not cooking, I’m probably watching a cooking show, talking about food, arguing about food, reading a cookbook or planning my next meal. Taking a wild guess, I think I might be a foodie…☺️ But as food obsessed as I am, even I don’t have the energy or time to spend hours in the kitchen for midweek meals. And while I have a keen interest in cooking, I am actually fundamentally lazy at heart …....

The fresh ginger won’t knock you over the head with its intensity in this stew. It adds warmth and its distinctive gingery flavor to the pot, but it’s a fairly subtle flavor. The fish is still the main star – which it should be, considering how expensive seafood is! Because I live in New England, where firm-fleshed white fish rule the seafood case, I have my choice of halibut, haddock, hake, pollock, and more....

Dear Australians and New Zealanders disappointed to be missing out, skip down to my Letter to you. ❤️ Why am I offering this free gift? This is a thank you gift for those who have preordered a copy of Dinner which will be delivered to your doorstep in February 2023. Patience is not my greatest virtue, so it is a gesture of appreciation for your patience!! What is the gift?...

To me, this omelette is the quickest route to comfort when I just don’t have the bandwidth to come up with a plan for supper. In fact, luckily for me, my husband mastered the art of the French omelette years ago when we both worked at a restaurant in upstate New York. On our days off, we used to go to a roadside gas station(!) run by a Swiss couple, Pierre and Yvette....

You simply cannot go wrong with this apple cake! It uses three whole cups of chopped, peeled apples. We like to use a variety of apples for baking—Granny Smith, Gravenstein, Fuji, Jonagold. That way you get more complex flavors from the various apples in the cake. For more information on which apple varieties are best for baking, check out our Guide to Apples. The Secret Ingredient The secret ingredient for this cake, that you wouldn’t expect to find in an apple cake, is … wait for it…....

Is From Scratch Cherry Delight Like Cheesecake? You can definitely think of this old fashioned cherry delight recipe as a no bake cheesecake! It’s a lot less labor-intensive and the flavors are quite similar. The addition of cherries adds a bit of fruitiness to the final cherry dessert, and the graham cracker crust is exactly like the one you may find with cheesecake. Cherry Filling Options: You can of course use store bought cherry filling from a can, but we always prefer homemade!...

I can’t deny it, stuffing pasta shells is a bit of a messy job, but it’s so worth it for this garlicky spinach and cheese combo. I like to tell the kids that I’ve magically made regular pasta shells bigger with a little help from my wooden spoon wand. I’m pretty sure they don’t believe me, but it is fun when the kids think you have a few superpowers. My mum used to hide sweet around the house and then say a ‘magic word’ that would make them appear....

Dull leftovers? Never around here! Leftover Turkey Pot Pie Got leftover turkey?* Bits of bread lying around? Some scraps of veggies? Milk, butter and flour? Then you can MAKE THIS Turkey Pot Pie! Because everything else is optional 🙂 OK, so a melty cheese topping precariously straddles the border of “optional” in my book, but having said that nobody every complains whenever normal cheese-less garlic bread makes an appearance so I doubt anyone would complain here either…....

They come together so quickly! In this ginger beef stir fry we marinate strips of beef sirloin in a honey soy marinade, then quickly fry them in a hot pan with julienned ginger, red chilis, and sliced garlic. A cornstarch slurry helps keep the beef strips from drying out and helps create a tasty glaze over the meat. Thinly sliced scallions are stirred in at the end, and the whole thing is served over rice....

How do these ginger molasses cookies stay together with no dairy or eggs? Sometimes Vegan baking can be so hard for me, but not eating eggs makes me pretty motivated to figure it out when I want a treat! I used coconut butter to help them bind a bit, and it adds a note of Vegan-friendly, buttery goodness. I think the blackstrap molasses helps with the binding as well. Honestly, you’d never guess they were Vegan and egg-free if you didn’t look at the ingredients....

It’s super easy to make your own delicious frappes at home! All you need is a blender and a few ingredients and you are ready to go! This recipe makes two large frappes, or you can easily divide it up to make four smaller frappes....

This recipe is so good that you can cheat with store bought marinara or spaghetti sauce. I like making my tomato sauce from scratch but hey, no judgement here. I also used store bought gnocchi because it is convenient. My easy gnocchi with tomato sauce is a hybrid of this gnocchi Bolognese without the ground beef and cheese. Serve it with cauliflower steak, homemade garlic bread or air fryer garlic bread....

This recipe is so easy! It starts with homemade dinner roll dough, simply altered to make a monkey bread delight! Whether you prefer to mix by hand or in a stand mixer, this will come together so quickly and be the best monkey bread you’ve ever tasted! We love that there is so much room for error in this recipe! That allows it to be completely kid friendly! Rolling the dough into balls is fun for everyone, and it doesn’t even matter if the dough balls are the same size, or even completely round!...
