Salmon Burgers with Slaw

They are delicious. These salmon burgers are delicious. You’re looking at a golden-colored, crispy exterior with a flaky interior and lots of nutrition. These are easy to prepare and (usually) require minimal or no grocery shopping if you have a well-stocked pantry. These crispy little pan-fried guys are my favorite. As if salmon…

Favorite Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

The caramelly goodness of brown butter and sugar, the crispy edges, the barely thick and soft center, and melty chocolate chips in little puddles, with just enough salt sprinkled on top to cut through the sweetness, will make you want to eat five of them.

Red Chile Tostadas With Eggs

I love these tostadas. They are my absolute favorite thing in the entire universe right now. These tostadas are crunchy, dripping, savory, salted, and just plain on your face.

BOSTON BAKED BEANS – SLOW COOKER BAKED BEANS

BAKED BEANS: MOLASSES VS MAPLE SYRUP? This means that I used molasses instead of maple syrup in Canada. Maple syrup is an alternative to molasses. However, it would help if you only used real maple syrup. This will not work with artificially-flavored pancake syrups. Or, to me, in any other recipe. These beans…

CHOCOLATE-BAKED OATS

Chocolate-baked oatmeal might seem like an indulgent, rich, and decadent breakfast, but there’s a healthy secret! Each bite combines eggs, cocoa, bananas, and oats. It tastes like cake, but it’s full of protein and fiber. It can be served plain or topped with yogurt and berries. What are CHOCOLATE-BAKED OATS? Baked oats are a…
