The hot, melted cheese with a sprinkling of fresh parsley is the perfect way to top this dish off. I’ve even seen these meatballs served on mashed potatoes before- give it a go, why not! They’d be great on a fresh sub roll too… ahh. Or simply by themselves. Grab a toothpick and let guests go to town on a French Onion Soup Meatball appetizer. Sounds good to me. This was my first time using Better than Bouillon for the broth....

This banana bread mug cake makes a delicious breakfast, afternoon snack, or late-night dessert. You can mix it directly in a microwave-safe mug to save on dishes. Because this recipe calls for a whole ripe banana and a whole egg, it will fill two coffee mugs that are 10 ounces in size or one large mug that is 16 ounces or larger. If you want to make a large single serving, use an oversized mug to avoid overflow as it cooks in your microwave....
Inspired by my Paleo Banana Snack Cake, this recipe uses almond butter instead of flour. It’s amazing how when you pair it with eggs and a little honey, it becomes quite cake-like! Ingredients You’ll Need What’s in healthy pumpkin bars? Almond butter Pumpkin puree Eggs Honey Pumpkin pie spice If you don’t have almond butter on hand, cashew butter also makes a similar substitute. I’ve tested this recipe using peanut butter, and the results aren’t quite as delicious, because the peanut flavor competes with the pumpkin flavor too much....

I like to buy my own organic free range chicken and grind it myself in the food processor, but you can also purchase ground chicken at the store and skip that step!...
Mayonnaise has to be one of my favourite condiments. I can’t even begin to count how many recipes I have made that incorporate mayo! Mayonnaise really only requires 2 ingredients, eggs and oil, but since we want to add a bit more flavor to it, I’m adding some Dijon and lemon juice. I first learned to make mayo when I was kid since my mom used to make mayonnaise all the time at home....

Gone are the days of dry, bland pork! Does anyone think pork gets a bit of a bad rap? I think it’s because people aren’t cooking it with its needs in mind, or highlighting the simple, savory flavors of this wondrous meat. What do I mean when I say that pork’s needs aren’t being met? Well for many years now many kitchens across this continent have been over cooking it!...

How To Make it How do you make peanut butter? All you need is peanuts and a food processor. Do not add any extra oil, as the peanuts will release their natural oils as you go.

The best part of the farmers market is the end of the day sales. Around noon time on any given Saturday, you’ll find me out on the prowl with my grocery bags, ears perked for any signs of discounted goods. Hearing the words “dollar a pound” and “everything must go” is like listening to the sweet songs of Siren, luring in shipwrecked sailors. I’m the shipwrecked sailor who can’t turn away from a good deal....
Cos’è il French Toast Il french toast è un piatto dolce molto diffuso negli Stati Uniti d’America e generalmente consumato per colazione o per il Brunch il fine settimana. È fatto con fette di pane immerse in una pastella di uova, latte, zucchero e spezie. Il pane viene poi cotto in padella con burro e servito con sciroppo d’acero, burro, frutti di bosco o altre guarnizioni. Noi rendiamo questa ricetta un po’ più leggera (ma ugualmente golosissima) sostituendo le uova e il burro....
