Breakfast Muffins. My kids love muffins. Blueberry, oatmeal or bacon and eggs it doesn't matter, they love them all. That's right—I said bacon and eggs because if it comes from a muffin tin and fits in their hands it's a muffin and they love it. Seriously, if I could find a way to make a roast beef dinner in the shape of a muffin they would eat it.

These breakfast muffins are packed with all the things you wish your kids would eat before you rush them out the door for school, extracurriculars, or a rushed trip for whatever you forgot to do yesterday. I also expect these would freeze very well and re-heat quickly in the mornings, but to be honest, we wouldn't know because they never last that long in our house. Start by frying your bacon, patting off the excess oil then cutting into chunks. Then scramble your eggs (I like to add a little milk to make them fluffy). Roll out each biscuit until flat. Top with eggs... ... bacon... and a 1/2 slice of cheese. Top with pepper to taste. Bake at 375F for 13-15 minutes. Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast Recipe - Food.com - 37336. Easy Pad Thai Recipe | Brownies for Dinner. UPDATE: Hey there!

I’m happy you found this popular recipe. I still love eating it at home and hope you will too. I wanted to leave you a quick note to let you know that I’m no longer posting recipes (as of January 2013). I *am* still posting, and welcome you to check out some of my newer posts. I have had a love-hate relationship with Pad Thai for a while now. I loved it when I had it in Thailand and I hated it anytime I ordered it at a restaurant stateside. You see, the so-called Pad Thai I’ve had in restaurants has always been coated in this weird orange-colored sauce that scares me. I also learned that the peppers in the panang curry in Thailand are not bell peppers like they are over here. Anyway, enough about spontaneous combustion. But no more. Granted, the recipe is not 100% authentic — it doesn’t use fish sauce and tamarind and the 100 other ingredients the authentic version calls for — but it is light and fresh and easy with a capital E.

Now, let’s make some Pad Thai… Serves 4. Spicy Honey Chicken. For most people, summer is the perfect time for grilling. Not so much for us. At least not this summer. Stan does our grilling, and this summer he avoided our grill like the plague. Not because he has developed an aversion to one of his favorite toys, but rather because it was approximately 150 degrees all summer long. (That may be a slight exaggeration, but you get where I’m coming from.) We have a charcoal grill and convincing Stan to stand outside for extended periods of time in the sweltering heat was just not going to happen.

And I was okay with our lack of grilling… mostly. This chicken recipe is fabulous for many reasons. Spicy Honey Chicken Ingredients: 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 2 tsp. flavorless oil (like canola or grape seed) For the Spice Rub: 2 tsp. chili powder 2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. 1 tsp. ground cumin 1/2 tsp. coriander 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/2 tsp. chipotle chili powder For the Glaze: 1/2 cup honey 1 T. cider vinegar Directions: Serves 4. Coconut-Curry Chickpea Quinoa Pineapple Burgers (Vegan) The holidays as a plant-based eater can seem weird. While everyone else is serving their families a traditional ham for Easter, how lame is it to make a pan of broccoli and serve it up with a slab of tofu?

Super lame, duh. I set out this week looking for recipes that could bring the fun flavors of Easter into our home this week, without having to resort to bad vegan meat knock-offs or pasty pieces of lameish holiday food substitutes. Fat slices of fresh pineapple, the sort you glaze and bake with an Easter Ham served as the idea behind this delectable meal. After sitting down to it for dinner last night, I feel confident in promising you that no human alive could possibly eat these perfectly spices quinoa patties and conclude that they’ve been somehow ripped off in the holiday food department. Perfect flavors. Perfect nutrition. Here’s how this easy recipe is going to go down in you kitchen. You puree chickpeas, spice them up, stir them together with cooked quinoa and panko crumbs.

No-bake energy bites. I probably should have poured a nice stiff drink recipe for you all on this loveliest of lovely tax days. Especially for my fellow small business owners who just gave half of their revenue back to the government. Good grief, I won’t even go there. Instead though, I thought I’d offer my idea of a more comforting alternative. Pasta. When life is good, and when life gets crazy, I turn to pasta. And this pasta recipe is one of my all-time favs. And just as it has for years, this one hit the spot. Read more This past Friday night was meant for celebrating.

Fresh, creamy and loaded with flavours, this soup is the first thing I'll make when they officially announce the arrival of autumn. If you prefer your soup totally smooth – that is, with no textural "interruptions" – forget the sugar snaps.

Deep-fried shallots can be bought in small tubs from many Asian grocers. They are great things to have on stand-by in the store cupboard for finishing off all manner of salads, soups and other vegetable dishes (not just Thai ones, either), adding a sweet, oniony aroma as well as a lovely crunch.

What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. These are one of Kev’s favorite homemade treats, and he usually asks me to make them at least once a week. They are so simple to whip up, and such a treat! Let’s make some right now :) All you really need for these fabulous cookies is your favorite cookie dough and a bag of chocolate chips. My favorite cookie dough just happens to be Picky Palate’s, and it works perfectly for this recipe, but you could just as easily use a store-bought mix or even refrigerated cookie dough. Since these cookies are absolutely gushing with delicious rich chocolate, my favorite chocolate chips for this recipe are the Hersey’s Milk Chocolate chips. Now let’s make some chocolate lava cookies! Now for our gooey, rich milk chocolate filling. Heaven help me. Mama mia. 1. 2. 3.

Get your cook on.
