But no matter how much of a challenge it is, nobody wants to let their kids live on processed food and sweets. Fortunately, this creamy broccoli salad is a veggie dish so fresh, colorful, and yummy, even kids can’t say no to it. Try it for tonight’s dinner and see how fast it will disappear from the table!...

Chicken with garlic sauce is a super flavorful and delicious meal that tastes like total comfort food – but of course, it’s healthy comfort food!

Quick and easy on the table meals that are ready in 30 minutes. Life has become so much busier with my husbands work schedule and a newborn. But I still like to have a home cooked meal for my family.

When I’m scheming ways to create healthy recipes that taste as scrumptious as their no-holds-barred indulgent counterparts, turkey- or chicken-based Italian sausage is one of my most treasured tools. This one-pan Sausage and Rice Casserole was one of the first healthy meals I learned to cook, this sheet pan Italian Sausage and Peppers hits the spot when I’m in a hurry, and this Italian Sausage with Butternut Squash Gnocchi (and its cousin, Skillet Lasagna) are two of your recent favorites....

This is the “leftovers” recipe from the Juicy Cuban Mojo Pork Roast I posted last week from the movie “Chef”. I raved about the movie in that post so I won’t repeat myself! The real star of the movie are the Cubanos which are cuban pork sandwiches. I’ve had my share of great sandwiches, particularly during my foodie road trips across the US. But Cubanos….they have always held a special place in my heart, ever since that first bite I unsuspectingly took in a random Cuban diner in Miami....

To make this ice cream, I prepared the custard first and then cooled it. Later mixed it with the freshly whipped cream. This recipe gives you a thick creamy and delicious icecream that doesn’t form crystals. You can also pour the prepared custard icecream mixture to stainless steel cups or Popsicle moulds and set them. I have used a hand mixer to whip the cream. However you can also use a Indian mixer with a whipping blade to whip it....

When it comes to American pizza, we most often hear about New York and Chicago, but not Detroit-style pizza. Such a shame, because it is arguably the best kind among the three. In fact, many people would argue that Detroit-style pizza is the best of ANY kind. It’s somewhat like a deep-dish pizza, but with a charred thin rectangular crust. If you haven’t heard of Detroit pizza before, you’ve come to the right place....

Drip decorated Dog Birthday Cake Another year older … but sadly not another year wiser (just like every other year)!! 😂 Ahh Dozer, you may not be known for your brains, but that’s ok.
