I’m talking about Sir Kensington’s Classic Vegan Mayo. Have you ever tried it? If you don’t eat a vegan diet, you may have never bought it. I first tried it a few years ago when it was still called Sir Kensington’s Fabanaise, a play on the fact that the mayo was (and still is!) made from sunflower oil and aquafaba, the viscous liquid found in a can of chickpeas or leftover after cooking a pot of homemade chickpeas....
Usually the beans for this ensemble are refried beans, but this week we decided to serve the beans whole, and dress them up a bit with pan roasted jalapeños, onions, and bacon. So good! Quick and easy too. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro to serve. Want to make your beans from scratch? Here’s how to make them on the stovetop or in a pressure cooker! Remove from pan. Cut away and discard the stem, core, seeds, and veins....

A well-stocked spice drawer means the cumin and smoked paprika marinade comes together in 5 minutes with only a couple of tips of a measuring spoon, a little garlic, and some lime. Chopped peppers, frozen corn and canned black beans round out the dish. This one-skillet dinner is ready in 20 minutes or less. You can also freeze the marinated chicken for up to 6 months so you have an easy meal at the ready when you need it....
Sweet potato fries recipe is always a popular side dish that everyone craves! The crisp, sweet fries come with all kinds of dipping sauces, but I love this spicy Chipotle lime in our sweet potato fries dipping sauce. The flavor combination will have your taste buds exploding!With the combination of spices, it balances out the sweetness of the potatoes to perfection. And it’s actually pretty mild as far as hotness, just loaded with flavor....
It’s one of my favorite dips, and perfect with pita bread or veggies. This version is a slight departure from the traditional tzatziki. In this one we are swapping out the cucumbers for leafy green Swiss chard. It’s a great way to put leafy greens to work (could use beet greens or spinach as well), and it tastes great! (Can’t stop eating great) I’ve also added some fresh chopped mint, lemon juice and lemon zest....
What Is the Difference Between Chicken Nuggets and Chicken Tenders? Not all breaded and fried chicken pieces are the same: classic chicken tenders should be made from the chicken breast’s tender (more on that below), while nuggets are primarily made from the ground and processed chicken meat including breast and thigh meat that is then formed into nuggets, dinos, and even rings. Chicken Tenders: Actually a Special Cut of Chicken! For most eaters there is little difference between tenders and fingers; after all, they both have a crispy breading with a long finger-like shape and are made from chicken....

My mother whipped up this quick and easy baby bok choy dish the other night. The bok choy was so good I made her make it again the next day so I could watch with pad and pen in hand. Getting a recipe out of my mom is actually not that easy. She never makes anything the same way twice, and she never measures. (She’s obviously not a baker.) I make her weigh things....
Here is a quick turkey salad I whipped up today (and turned into a sandwich) that uses chipotle powder, jalapeños, and cilantro for a Southwestern touch. Chipotle is just smoked, dried jalapeños; the chili gives the turkey salad a slightly smokey, spicy kick. It’s great in a sandwich with avocados and sliced tomatoes! If you don’t want the chili heat of the jalapeños, but want the smokiness, you can used smoked paprika instead of the chipotle and jalapeños....
There are well over 200 joints, called chili parlors, serving the stuff. Its legitimacy as chili is not up for debate. If chili can be green or white, why can’t it have cinnamon and allspice and be served over spaghetti? People in Cincinnati won’t say this, but to get a better mental grip on Cincinnati Chili, think of it as Middle American Bolognese: a kicked-up meat sauce to serve over pasta with cheese....
What Is Ratatouille? Ratatouille is a classic summer dish from the South of France. It’s essentially a stew of vegetables, including tomatoes, eggplant, summer squash, bell pepper, onions, and garlic. The trick to the best ratatouille is to cook the vegetables separately, then combine and cook them together at the end. This way the individual vegetables get the right amount of cooking they need, and they cook together long enough for the flavors to blend....
Though Maryland crab soup or chowder usually includes tomato, I’m sticking with my favorite New England-style chowder for this recipe; it’s a blueprint for just about any seafood you might choose to include. The crab adds sweetness to the already rich and creamy chowder that is chock full of corn, potatoes, and bacon—enough to make a filling meal by itself. What is Chowder? Chowder is typically a stew made with potatoes and cream, but there are many regional types of chowder....
What I love about this recipe is that it’s so easy to make and it cooks up so quickly. The scallops are essentially baked in a white sauce of butter, white wine, and flour, with a breadcrumb topping. Sea Scallops vs. Bay Scallops When it comes to scallops, you have a choice between sea scallops and bay scallops. We use the larger sea scallops for this version, but my father remembers Patricia using bay scallops when she made them for him....
She was the baker in the family (a title now passed on to my father). She moved from St. Paul to live with us in Los Angeles when I was four. Mom, being rather busy with all the kids (6 kids in 8 years!) and working as a head start teacher, didn’t have much time for crafts or baking. It was grandma who taught me to sew, to knit and crochet, and to bake....
Meanwhile, the entire family is milling around the kitchen asking how they can help, even though that ship sailed about four hours ago. This year, however, you’re on top of it! No running around with your hair on fire: The gravy you made weeks ago is in the saucepan heating on the stove (or in the microwave!) thanks to a little foresight. Video: How to Make Turkey Gravy How to Make Gravy Ahead of Time I wanted to pack just as much flavor into this make-ahead gravy as you’d get if you were making it after roasting your Thanksgiving turkey....
