This crustless zucchini quiche recipe is bursting with summery flavor, thanks to tender slices of zucchini nestled into fluffy, seasoned, cheesy eggs. Just like with Instant Pot crustless quiche, there’s no need to fuss with dough for this quiche with zucchini — just pour and bake! Ingredients You’ll Need This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for zucchini crustless quiche, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options....

Golden Syrup Dumplings are a classic Australian dessert. If you haven’t been lucky enough to try it before here’s what you’re looking at - balls of dough baked in a thick and bubbly syrup sauce until they transform into sweet dumplings with caramelised edges. It’s best served hot out of the oven with some vanilla ice cream or cream on top. My sister has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember and it’s always a hit....

As soon as the weather turns cool, I get obsessed with this creamy roasted cauliflower soup recipe! This healthy cauliflower soup is velvety smooth, full of flavor, and the hands-on cooking time is short, so I can prep the main dish for dinner while I wait. If you’ve had any of my keto cauliflower dishes, you know that I’m a big fan of roasting cauliflower before using it in recipes....

Whenever the weather gets warmer, I start craving flavors from back home. This week, my tropical self was itching for some hearts of palm! So I headed to the store, skeptical of my chances of finding some, and – to my surprise – came home with quite a few cans. Oh, I can eat them straight from the can! And while I did snack on one or two, I mostly had to behave, as they are all spoken for....

This easy homemade salsa recipe is one of the best ways to amp up Taco Tuesday (or any Mexican-inspired meal)! Once you learn how to make salsa with fresh tomatoes and cilantro, you might never go back to the jarred stuff… and just like mango salsa, avocado salsa verde, and pineapple salsa, it only takes a few simple ingredients. Ingredients In Salsa This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for homemade fresh tomato salsa, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options....

Today’s cauliflower tortillas are inspired by an old favorite. It’s confession time. Back in my high school days, Taco Bell quesadillas were my go-to fast food. The spicy jalapeno sauce was my favorite part. Nevermind all the processed ingredients those quesadillas were filled with – I wasn’t even thinking about that stuff back then. Sure, I still tried to get my veggies in, but looking at food processing wasn’t even in my radar....

Smoked salmon or lox are common staples at any grocery store, but if you want the best lox, it’s time to learn how to make lox from fresh salmon at home. It’s easier than you might think! This salmon lox recipe is made with just 3 ingredients and 15 minutes prep time. After some time in the fridge, you’ll have fresh lox that tastes better than anything you could buy at the store and there are so many ways to enjoy it – I’m sharing a whole list below....

Maybe you know the kind of restaurant Italian chopped “salad” I mean? Chopped salads are ubiquitous at many Italian American restaurants. I remember a similar one at my own hometown pizza joint. If you are lucky, you’ll find a few pieces of lettuce (iceberg usually) here and there. They’ll be drowning in Italian dressing. Mostly, these Italian “salads” are meat, cheese, and more raw onions than a full pack of gum could hope to mitigate....

I used to make this Italian dressing chicken a lot as a student and people raved about it. They must have thought I had mad cooking skills. I let them believe that. To marinate or not to marinate, that is the question. I think chicken and especially chicken breasts definitely benefit from some marination. If all you have is 30 minutes, then marinate for 30 minutes. If you can marinate overnight, that’s even better....

Kids and adults alike will love these Halloween stuffed peppers! With funny faces and a savory filling, these come together as easily as my Greek stuffed tomatoes, but make a delicious dinner to eat before a night of trick or treating. Plus, jack-o-lantern stuffed peppers use simple ingredients that you can easily customize!

This fresh jicama tortillas recipe is just what you need to liven up your taco night! Unlike other keto tortilla or cheese taco shell recipes, this one is 100% veggies. And as great as low carb flours are, let’s face it — jicama nutrition content is higher than any low carb flour tortilla. Plus, the slight crunch and subtle sweetness in these jicama wraps actually works perfectly with many healthy Mexican recipes....

If there was one food I really miss on keto, it would probably be croissants… they bring back memories of our honeymoon in Paris, and let’s be real, making a flaky dough to be an adequate keto butter croissant substitute is very difficult. Which is why this keto croissant recipe took me seven tests to get right… but it was worth it! I’m not going to lie, the texture of these keto chocolate croissants isn’t exactly like a white flour version, but they are still absolutely delicious, with a buttery yeast dough and a creamy chocolate hazelnut center....

These low carb pigs in a blanket are made with high quality sugar-free hot dogs and a fathead dough “blanket”, for a keto version that tastes just like the original. People have been telling me for quite some time that they’ve been wrapping the dough from my keto bagel recipe around hot dogs. So, I wanted to share this keto pigs in a blanket recipe to show you exactly how to do it....

Bone-in vs. boneless skin-on lemon garlic chicken You can use both skin-on, bone-in and skinless, boneless chicken in this recipe. I find that bones protect the meat from drying out just as much as the skin does. Chicken breasts are especially good for this recipe. Skin-on chicken breasts are normally sold as split breasts, with rib bones attached. So, leave them on. I know, it’s easier to eat a boneless breast but I’ll a pick juicer meat over convenience any time....

Lola here! My mom gave me permission to take over her blog today so I could tell you all about our awesome weekend in Woodstock, New York. A few weeks ago, my humans parents (Mom says it’s rude to call them “humans”!) decided Mom was too stressed with working two jobs – they needed to go on a mini vacation! Usually that means that I get to go spend some time with my older humans that have a better house grandparents, but one of mommy’s friends said we could all go stay at this cabin in Woodstock, NY....

We got together at a friend’s house for a Memorial Day barbecue last week. With the sun shining, chicken and brats on the grill, and everyone hanging out in the backyard, it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Watching my little girl running through the bright green grass with the other children put a big smile on my face. Sometimes the simple things are all you need. Of course, any get-together is an excuse for me to try a new recipe....

If you’re looking to make breakfast smoothies for weight loss, add extra servings of fruits and veggies to your diet, need a balanced smoothie for post-workout recovery, or just want a yummy, filling way to nourish your body, this banana oatmeal smoothie recipe is one you’ll want to sip over and over again. If you’re new to the smoothie game, it’s also a delicious, approachable place to start. Personally, I love green smoothies (especially this Kale Pineapple Smoothie and this Apple Avocado Smoothie), but I recognize that those who are newer to the smoothie game might want to tiptoe their way in a bit (this Apple Smoothie is another great place to start)....

I participated in Mom Blog Tour Winter Fancy Food Show (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Saffron Road products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and the recipe are my own. Who’s ready to partaaaay? ☀️☀️☀️ The weather is finally amazing here in the East Coast and all I can think about is being outside. I know I will regret saying that when it’s 100 degrees outside and I’m huge and about to pop, but for now I will enjoy and the barbecuing and picnicking that I can!...

Meltingly tender pulled pork slow cooked with Mexican spices and citrus juices, then crisped up at the edges in the oven just so, carnitas are: Make-Ahead Marvelous. You can prep the recipe hours in advance and leave it warming in the slow cooker, or fully cook the day before and reheat.Big-Batch Beautiful. Whether you need to feed a crowd, stock your freezer, or just love leftovers (ME!), you’ll be pleased with this recipe’s generous yield....

Ben spent the better part of August and a chunk of September camped out at his office, which meant that for many evenings, it was just Teddy and me at home for dinner. Since the pooch doesn’t eat people food (unless it’s something that fell on the floor, in which case, fair game!), that’s 50% of the usual consumers in a kitchen that produces three to four new recipes a week....
