You only need 5 ingredients and about 25 minutes. Makes these and tell us what you think. Related: Next up try our deep

This super simple poke sauce makes putting together a homemade poke bowl EASY. You only need seven ingredients and a couple of minutes to make this super fresh and flavorful marinade for poke. Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish of raw fish marinated in a savory soy based sauce. You can eat poke on its own, much like sashimi or you can serve it over rice with other vegetables or ingredients like edamame or seaweed for a poke bowl. As with any simple dish the quality of ingredients matter so

It’s that time of year and I’m excited to share this McDonald’s copy cat Shamrock Shake recipe! Lol. Personally the shamrock shake is one of my favorites. I love the flavor of all things mint. We do a lot of little cooking and craft projects at home with our sons around the more minor holidays like St. Patrick’s Day so having a homemade shamrock shake recipe on hand is the way to go. You can dress this up with crushed Oreos or Lucky Charm marshmallows. Or for a more a

This is a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe elevated to the next level by using brown butter. Yes, we are adding one more step (browning the butter) but I promise it’s worth it. It adds so much flavor and dimension to this classic recipe. Brown butter can be used in pretty much any recipe that calls for butter. I tend to use it in baked goods, like cookies, sweet breads or scones. It adds an almost nutty flavor bordering on caramel or toffee. Brown butter doesn’t require any in

Believe it or not but bread pudding was one of the very first recipes I taught myself to make when I first got interested in cooking just after college. I LOVE bread pudding. The flavors are simple and remind me of french toast. The texture is dense and spongy, almost creamy. It’s a simple dessert that manages to feel both special and rustic. Also, it’s a delicious way to use up old bread! While bread pudding has it’s roots from England (and that’s where I first had it

I love appetizers. Emma and I have been known to order what we call “appetizer feasts” when we go out for dinner, so we try more apps and skip the main course. They’re delish! Today I’m excited to share my own recipe for my favorite classic appetizers: spinach artichoke dip! I’ve been making this spinach and artichoke dip for years and years now and the recipe hasn’t really changed. It’s a classic for a reason! If you are hosting or need a great baked dip to take to a party

While my kids love Chick-fil-A sauce for me it’s Cane’s Sauce forever! I love the bold, garlic, vinegar-y flavor of Raising Cane’s sauce and this homemade copycat recipe is SO easy to make. If I make air fryer french fries you better believe I am whipping up some homemade cane sauce to go with it. This homemade cane sauce is great on french fries as well as other things like hamburgers, chicken tenders, or other sandwiches. Related: Next try our recipe for homemade Big

I’m always delighted when a restaurant serves fresh mint tea. It feels luxurious! It’s super easy to make your own fresh mint tea at home and with the cold, dark months ahead this has become a staple at our house. The recipe for fresh mint tea is simple: water and mint. You really can’t mess it up. I like to add some lemon and honey if I have it. I often have leftover mint from cooking. I make these thai chicken bowls a few times a month that call for fresh mint but not muc

Air Fryer hamburgers are one of the meals I make for dinner over and over again at our house. This recipe only uses 5 ingredients and takes less than 15 minutes to make. It’s so easy! Add a salad, vegetable side or baked french fries and you’ve got a delicious homemade meal the whole family will love. You can use ground beef, ground turkey, ground chicken or even a combination of ground meats (like ‘Boston Burger’ which is typically beef and pork) depending what you h
