this recipe Super Easy Recipe Not only does this Paleo pumpkin snickerdoodles recipe call for only eight ingredients, it also requires only one bowl and a large spoon to mix everything up! That leaves little to clean up, making this one of my favorite recipes. It takes about 10 minutes to get these cookies on a baking sheet and into the oven, maybe faster if you make the recipe a few times and get more efficient like I have!...

Of course they were too hot to eat, but that didn’t stop us. Tender, buttery rolls with a hint of sweetness shaped like puffy half-moons—who can wait? They looked like Pac-Man, and they were delicious! Video: How to Make Parker House Rolls What Are Parker House Rolls? The Parker House in Boston (now called Omni Parker House) was a grand old hotel built in the mid-19th century. Many politicians and famous people stayed there, and legend has it that John F....

Add chorizo? Sure. Make the cheese smoky? Absolutely. Would you like some chicken? Or veggies? Even better. What about pesto? And veggies? Double yes! But sometimes taking a chance on a recipe can be a little risky if you’re feeding someone other than an adult—i.e, someone who may or may not politely articulate how he or she feels about the food—and who therefore may or may not eat said food....

this recipe Caffeine Addiction I love coffee, and Justin does, too. Unfortunately, my body doesn’t seem to love caffeine too much these days. The truth is that I have cut coffee out, added it back in, and taken it back out a few times now. Currently, I am not drinking coffee, but I do love it. I love the taste, the smell, the warm beverage in my hand. It’s a ritualistic thing, and I suspect at some point I may drink coffee again....

Stay with me here. Corned beef hash is salty, savory, and, if you prepare it correctly, the tiny potatoes get a little crispy as well. Wrapped in soft eggs with a little Parmesan cheese — it’s a seriously special omelet. Give this one a shot if you are a corned beef fan! Corned Beef Hash Is Omelet Perfection I like hearty omelet fillings, and nothing is heartier than corned beef hash!...

How To Make Quinoa Bowls Building bowls is kind of like combining leftovers to create a whole new meal. You take small amounts of many things and mix them together. For this recipe you will roast sweet potatoes, sauté spinach, cook quinoa, and toast seeds. This may seem like a lot, but every component is cooked in the same two pans, which saves time on clean up. Better still is that bowls are a great make-ahead meal....

Red velvet cake has historically been covered in ermine frosting, but tangy cream cheese frosting is the new favorite. This recipe takes that one step further by adding a layer of luscious cheesecake in between the two layers of red velvet cake, and it’s still covered with your favorite rich cream cheese frosting. Sure, there are a few different components involved in making this baking project, but the outcome is an indulgent, striking dessert that’ll be the talk of the party....

Rhubarb is incredibly sour when raw. It seriously makes you pucker. My parents grow rhubarb in their yard, and every spring when I was little, my dad and I would take a bite from a fresh stalk and compete to see who could recover enough to whistle first after such a tart bite. But don’t worry; behind its sour bite is a distinctive citrusy and fruity flavor when cooked and tamed with sugar....

Have you ever baked on a grill? When the hot weather settles in we avoid using the oven; the AC is working hard enough as it is. Now that I have baked on the grill a couple of times, it’s not so hard. Just make sure that what you are baking is not directly over the coals or flame or the bottom will get burnt. Instructions for baking both on the grill and in an oven are included....

Italian sausage is roasted with chunks of sweet bell peppers and red onion for a meal that’s so much greater than the sum of its parts. Enjoy it on its own, tossed with pasta, over rice, or even stuffed into sub sandwich rolls! A Three-Ingredient Dinner That Satisfies I’ve turned to this sheet pan recipe time and time again. It’s a streamlined version of the classic Italian-American Sausage, Peppers, and Onions, a meal that simmers browned Italian sausages with sautéed bell peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, spices, and sometimes a splash of Marsala wine....

This summer we are taking an international vacation to London and Paris. While munching on croissants and sipping tea, I know that these meals eaten away from home will stay with us long after we are back in our own beds. Whether close to home or far away, I hope that this week’s meal plan can be part of your summer of experiences as well. New to Meal Planning? Start here!...

Some of this week’s recipes are a little luxurious to pamper yourself. Think pasta with shrimp and Parmesan lemon cream sauce or veggies and brown butter. Others will feel like you’ve been transported to Europe for a mini-vacation – Tuscan meatloaf and Austrian schnitzel. And then sometimes you just need potatoes with cheese when you’ve had one of those days. Barbecue chicken stuffed sweet potatoes will hit the spot. Enjoy!...

This week’s recipes are definitely quick and easy. Let’s consider this a kitchen cleanout! Raid your pantry to use jarred salsa and that bag of tortillas you forgot about to make enchiladas. Or use your dried pasta and canned tuna for a quick recipe with arugula. Switch up the ingredients in recipes like the pork rice bowls or lo mein to use of all the random veggies rolling around in your fridge....

This is a slow cooker riff off our popular tagine recipe. Boneless skinless chicken thighs are sprinkled with paprika, ginger, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and more, placed on a bed of chopped onions, and slow cooked with green olives, lemon slices, and raisins until fork tender. The spice list is long, if you are missing one or two, don’t stress about it. Feel free to experiment with the amounts and find what works for you....

Here’s a quick and easy way to take them up a notch, tossing the cooked green beans with a no-cooking-required citrusy, spicy sauce made with sweet orange marmalade, soy sauce, and spicy Sriracha hot sauce. In fact, this three-ingredient spicy orange dipping sauce you could use for any number of recipes. I first encountered it while observing the Pillsbury Bake-Off challenge last year. Lauren Wyler from Austin, Texas served up the sauce with her entry for Cashew Chicken Twists....

First of all, gas heats up faster than electric, making it more efficient for high-heat cooking. In addition, the raised grates on a gas stove mean you can use pretty much any cookware, even if the bottom is slightly rounded. Gas ranges also offer greater heat control, which is essential for precise cooking. And the open flames allow you to grill, smoke, and sear food (not to mention make indoor s’mores!...

Carol Watkins, the housewares purchaser for Down to Earth, a locally revered home store in Eugene, Oregon, knows the specific appeal of a grill pan: “You get the grill marks; you’ll be able to sear and brown so much better than in a flat pan.” A grill pan’s ridges raise food just above the cooking juices. This leads us to another key consideration: Grill pans reduce the surface contact of the food by at least half, says Maren Marvin, the cookware buyer at The Cupboard in Fort Collins, Colorado....

Don’t worry, you don’t have to make a trip out to the grocery store! These quick substitutes will do the trick—and you probably have at least one in your kitchen right at this moment. What Is Cornstarch? Cornstarch, sometimes known as corn flour, is a white powder made from the dried and ground endosperm of corn. It’s most commonly used as a thickening agent in sauces, gravy, soups, puddings, and pie fillings because its starch molecules swell and gelatinize when heated, thereby thickening whatever it’s added to....
