The Secret to Tasty Potato Salad? Sour Cream The recipe couldn’t be easier. It’s just boiled new potatoes tossed with a dressing of sour cream, vinegar, green onions, fresh dill, salt and pepper. What’s surprising is how much mileage you get out of so few ingredients. The credit lies with the sour cream, which provides a perfectly tangy base for the potatoes. Many thanks to my friend Kathi for sharing this recipe with us....

One of my favorite dishes in the whole world is Mexican octopus salad, or “ensalada de pulpo”, with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, and chiles. It’s fabulous as a side or topped over tacos or tostadas. Ensalada de pulpo is often made like a ceviche, the octopus “cooked” in an acidic marinade, without heat. For this recipe we are taking a different approach using a technique taught to me by Hank Shaw, who cooks and eats a lot of octopi....

What Kind Of Chicken Should I Use? We always opt for classic boneless and skinless chicken breasts. You can cut it up into bite-sized cubes easily, and it’s one of the more budget-friendly proteins available. That said, if you have a different cut of chicken that you can cut up evenly, go ahead and use that instead. Boneless thighs and tenderloins would be our top substitution picks! Heavy Cream Substitute: If you’re looking to make this recipe a tad lighter, you can replace the cream with half and half or whole milk instead....
Also called a pastry cutter wheel or a ravioli cutter, this tool costs less than $12, takes absolutely no skill whatsoever to use, and makes all of your pies look like you spent $40 at the neighborhood bakery. What’s So Great About a Fluted Pastry Wheel? Recipes and techniques can be acquired if you have determination and time. Practice makes perfect, as folks often say. But what elevates something from “homemade” to bakery-style or professional are the details: that little swoosh of a sauce, the perfect dollop of cream, the artfully sprinkled herbs over the dish that folks love to post on Instagram....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Pad See Ew Pad See Ew, which means “stir fried soy sauce noodles”, is an extremely popular Thai street food meal and one of the most popular noodles dishes at Thai restaurants here in Australia. Making a great Pad See Ew at home simply comes down to two things: What goes in Pad See Ew I can’t remember where I originally got the recipe from....
This version of pancakes is all about the blueberries. I have made them with frozen blueberries we picked last summer and also with freeze dried blue berries from Trader Joe’s. I find that frozen or fresh blueberries get a little too watery, so I prefer the freeze dried blueberries for pancakes (and muffins, too). I just soak them in warm water for a few minutes before I toss them in my batter....

Make a double batch of the cocoa syrup base and store it in the fridge so you can have truly great hot chocolate in the time it takes to heat up some milk! For the milk component of this hot chocolate, use any type you like....
The Crust After many Sunday night pizza nights spent tweaking the recipe and trying various flours, I can tell you that this is the BEST Paleo pizza crust we’ve had! We use blanched almond flour and tapioca flour along with some seasonings, eggs and grass-fed butter, ghee or coconut oil. It is a super simple crust that mixes up real quick. The texture is a little buttery and flaky, but solid enough to pick up and eat without the toppings sliding right off....
Spiral pasta catches and hold the bits of basil pesto. You can dress up the pesto and pasta with any number of ingredients. Cherry tomatoes, nuts, peas, and olive tapenade are what I had on hand for this particular version, but you could also add goat cheese, slivered almonds, sun-dried tomatoes, or snow peas. What’s your favorite summer pasta salad? Let us know in the comments. Never made pesto? Try our Basil Pesto recipe, a favorite!...
The casserole has ground beef, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. It’s tossed with cream cheese and provolone, topped with crispy croutons, and baked until the filling is piping hot and melty. Personally, I think of this as a hearty weekend dinner that I can casually prepare in the afternoon and pop in the oven while I’m doing chores or playing games with the kids. What’s in a Philly Cheesesteak Casserole? The sandwich version just has steak and onions, but I decided to boost it a bit for this casserole....
The pastry shells can be made days, even months in advance. And one batch makes almost 50 profiteroles!! Profiteroles Profiteroles are a hazard. It is way too easy to inhale an indecent amount in one sitting. I exaggerate not. Because unlike many desserts, profiteroles seem so light rather than heavy and overly sweet. Combine that with the fact that they are so small, you can easily swipe one without anyone noticing as you casually stroll past the pile (yet again…), and you don’t even need to break stride as you bite into it....
Soup has got to be something really special for me. I’m not one of those people who can make a simple, smooth soup and be satisfied with it. I need my soup to have substance. Veggies, meat, cheese, potato skin croutons, pasta - yes soup needs to be filling! I wanted to get this slightly spicy Pulled Pork and Bean Soup to you quick - before the weather starts getting too warm for soup (says the girl who makes beef casserole in Summer)....
This is one of our favorite weeknight dinners. We’ve been enjoying these fabulous sandwiches for years. It all started at a local sandwich shop that served these up. They made them right in front of us. We found ourselves craving them again and again, so why not make them at home? Sometimes I buy chicken in bulk and pound out several breasts to freeze just for this recipe. It’s spicy, it’s warm, and it’s totally satisfying....
They take just a bit longer to cook than the florets, so simply place them on a separate baking sheet. They’re still ready fast - in about 30 minutes. Don’t toss those stems when you make roasted broccoli! Roasted broccoli stalks are a surprising delicacy. You just need to know how to cook them. They are completely edible once peeled and cooked, and the best part: they are very tasty....
