So, say hello to these Green Goddess Veggie Burgers! How to Make a Delicious Veggie Burger These burgers are packed with spices such as cumin and paprika and a few other ingredients to keep them together on the grill. I like to start the burgers with a chickpea base, which gives them a great mouth feel—that’s a fancy way to say they feel good, texture wise—and can handle the heat of a grill....
You just mix honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil together and pour it over chicken thighs in a casserole dish and bake until done. Video: How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken The chicken produces its own gravy with the honey and mustard, and the skin on the top gets crispy brown. We have lots of rosemary in the garden; adding a sprig or two takes the dish up a notch....
Not only do eggs prepared this way make a great breakfast all on their own (with a little salt and pepper and maybe some toast), you can also use them to top a French salad Lyonnaise, bathe them in luxurious Hollandaise sauce in an Eggs Benedict, or go super healthy and serve them over sautéed greens. My favorite breakfast is one or two poached eggs, served in a bowl (they’re easier to eat with a spoon, you can catch every bite!...
Anything More Than Empty Hands Is Acceptable There are two essential ingredients for a potluck: people and food. These go hand-in-hand since the food is brought and eaten by the guests themselves. It’s a fun communal activity that also takes some weight off the poor host. So can you show up to a potluck empty-handed? Heck no. That’s the whole point! I would never show up at a potluck without something in hand, and I certainly wouldn’t want to open my front door during a potluck and find an empty-handed friend standing there....
Lemon Pesto Rice Rice is a great accompaniment to so many different meals. But sometimes you want to mix up the flavor of regular white rice. Enter this delicious Lemon Pesto Rice. Secrets to Success Lemon Pesto Rice is especially good made with our recipe for Fresh Basil Pesto. This rice is far better than anything you can make from a box. I have tried different methods in my rice cooker, but cooking it over the stove is so much better....

The Mini Supoon from Dreamfarm ($9.50) is an 8-inch silicone spoon (also available in a longer 11-inch length!) that features a flat squeegee tip, a scooping head, and a bend in the handle that props the spoon up so the head doesn’t touch the counter. It is the best spoon for getting every last something out of a jar. I would have wasted cupfuls of peanut butter, jam, and mustard over the years were it not for this genius little scraper....
You may want to serve some with the mozzarella, some without. Or, try wrapping some prosciutto around the mozzarella. Related Video
This Raspberry Cream Pie recipe is so much better than any other homemade raspberry cream pie I have tried. Most Raspberry Cream Pies consist of a cream cheese layer and a separate raspberry layer with a graham cracker crust. However, this pie recipe combines the cream cheese filling and the raspberry filling to make a delicious fluffy creamy mixture. Additionally, we use an Oreo crust. We love the combo of raspberries and chocolate....
This roast chicken recipe takes little time to prep and then into the oven it goes. Stuff the chicken with lemon, garlic, and thyme. If you want, truss it for a more attractive presentation. Put the chicken in an oven-proof skillet (a cast iron pan works well for this) surrounded by carrots and garlic. Roast the chicken at high heat, basting every 15 minutes or so with the pan juices....
My mother often made tuna patties for us, and less frequently, because they were more expensive, salmon patties. For several years, my father and I tried to talk my mother into making these salmon cakes again for us. For some unfathomable reason, she refused, even going as far as to claim that she never made salmon cakes in the first place. After a while, we gave up and made our own version of the recipe....
We used dinosaur kale (aka Lacinato or Tuscan kale) but you could easily use collard greens, mustard or turnip greens, or spinach. Any leafy green will do. The bonus? It takes less than 10 minutes to cook. Updated from the recipe archive, first posted 2010 Related Video
Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup takes me right back to the cozy days of my childhood, when the savory smell would greet us coming home from school. It’s the kind of meal that our mom would throw together in the morning on busy days in the Crockpot, and let simmer all day. She would always serve it with garlic bread, or our favorite hot cheese bread, for a simple, healthy, and hearty supper....
But if you are looking for something spooky and delicious for Halloween, squid ink pasta is perfect. Pair it with a bright orange pumpkin, and you are set! What Is Squid Ink Pasta? Have you ever had squid ink pasta? It’s pasta that has been flavored (and naturally colored) with jet black squid ink. Which now that I think about it, doesn’t sound particularly appetizing, unless of course you’ve tried it....

When I make cookies for my loved ones, they aren’t picky about how the cookies look either. However, when making cookies for bake sales, potlucks, holiday cookie boxes, showers, and for gifting, I like to put my best baker’s foot forward. I want the cookies to look as delicious as they taste. Drop cookies, like oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies, spread as they bake, taking a shape of their own, not always circular....
