Here’s why the shears are one of my favorite kitchen tools! Why Wüsthof Kitchen Shears Are the Best Kitchen shears are different than regular household scissors in a couple of key aspects. First, they’re designed to be more heavy duty, so can handle tougher tasks, like cutting through chicken bones. They also come apart for cleaning and drying, which is important for food safety and so the blades don’t rust....

These bars are an adaptation of the classic pecan pie but in a handheld package: imagine a thick layer of luscious pecan pie filling on top of a sturdy shortbread crust, and the whole thing holds its shape when you cut it. How to Make Pecan Pie Bars The filling is very similar as a pecan pie, except I use brown sugar instead of white because it brings some molasses for more depth of flavor....

Slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness and a smooth pumpkin flavor makes it ideal for fall!...

Video: How to Make Red Velvet Cupcakes The Best Red Coloring The red color can come from beets or even strawberries but personally I unapologetically prefer red food dye and in large quantities as it does a better job of disguising the brown chocolate without altering the flavor. Be sure to be careful when putting this recipe together as the batter can stain, so you may not want kids putting it together (better to put them on frosting duty)....

I love this DIY sparkling cider recipe because it’s super simple and you can make as much or as little as you need. This version is every bit as good as the Martinelli’s Gold Medals bottled version, if not better! We make this one for special occasions, or even if we just feel fancy on a weekend sometimes. It is the perfect taste to compliment a fancy dinner! Ingredients in Sparkling Cider Apple Cider – Use any apple cider you like, just make sure it isn’t carbonated apple juice....
Virginia Chunk Sweet Pickles These Virginia Chunk Sweet Pickles are truly a taste of my childhood. Anytime we would visit my Aunt Echo and Uncle Larry, they always served these pickles along with dinner (my favorite was when they served them with roast and potatoes). They were always sweet, crisp, and perfectly delicious. In my honest opinion.. no other sweet pickle even compares. A special “THANK YOU” to our Aunt Echo for sharing this recipe with us!...

The usual flavors are horchata (a sweet rice drink), tamarindo (from tamarind), and agua de Jamaica (pronounced hah-MY-kah). What Is Agua de Jamaica? What is this agua de Jamiaca? It’s hibiscus tea made from an infusion of hibiscus flowers. I almost always go for the ruby red Jamaica, I think just because I love the color. The taste of this hibiscus tea is slightly tart and refreshing. If you’ve ever had red zinger tea from Celestial Seasonings, it’s a little like that....

Why Cook Egg Rolls in an Air Fryer Frozen egg rolls made in an air fryer are by far my favorite! The oven doesn’t get them crispy enough, deep frying them in oil makes them crispy but too greasy, and the microwave ruins them. In my opinion, the air fryer is the only way to go! Egg Rolls vs Spring Rolls Egg rolls and spring rolls are very similar. They are both made with wrappers, they both usually contain vegetables, and they can both be deep fried....
Beef with Snow Peas Beef with Snow Peas is one of those dinners I plan for and look forward to all week! It’s an absolute favorite. The tender sirloin or flank steak, sliced super thin and then marinated with garlic and soy sauce is then paired with vibrant, crisp snow pea pods for a filling, yet light meal that just melts in your mouth. I love it served over fluffy rice or steamy noodles, with extra sauce for drizzling....
Shortcake biscuits are easy to make with Bisquick because you don’t have to worry about leavening (it’s already in the mix), or cutting in cold butter (stir in melted butter instead). All you need is some sugar, milk, butter, and a baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of dough on a greased baking pan, and bake in a 425°F oven. They’re done in about 10 minutes! For some odd reason, Bisquick no longer shows the sweet shortcake biscuit recipe on their box....
The cookbook reads like a road map: We travel from the forests of the Northeast through the waterways of the Pacific Northwest to the bison-grazing plains in the middle. It celebrates each tribe—from Apache to Zuni—with culinary and cultural histories of the regions. In addition to showing us the history of the cuisine, Bitsoie sets out to show us its future. “Native American cooking … is enriched by the vibrant ancestral connections, while also always evolving" he says in the introduction to his cookbook....
When the cranberries do finally come in, we load up, so we have plenty of frozen cranberries to last us the year. Then we start cooking with them. Cranberry relish, cranberry sorbet, even cranberry salsa. We even have three different recipes for apple cranberry pie. One of my father’s favorite things to make is applesauce with cranberries added in for tartness, flavor, and color. We’ll eat it for breakfast, as a side for pork, or with ice cream for dessert....
