I am always looking for new ways to use up our basil, so when I saw Jenna’s recipe (TK member kitchenlovenest) for Basil Butter Garlic Bread, I knew I had to try it. I love regular garlic bread and this version looked even better. The garlic bread gets jazzed up with basil butter and Parmesan cheese. 

Quinoa has always been one of my favorite grains. I love the subtle crunch that it has when cooked and that it is so high in protein. It’s been slowly rising to stardom recently. It’s a grain-like crop grown for its edible seeds. It’s considered a “pseudocereal,” whatever that means—not a true cereal, not a […]

There are amazing recipes all over the internets—impressive cakes and cookies, pies galore, delicious pasta dishes, fantastic dinner ideas, and so much more. But what has had me a little stumped were homemade crackers. Homemade crackers? Who in the world has time to make homemade crackers? They looked like they’d be difficult and totally something I wouldn’t be able to pull off. But when these Homemade Goldfish Crackers from Erin popped up here on Tasty Kitchen, I decided to try my hand at them.

Pungent spices. Tangy vinegar. Sweet maple syrup. A hint of smoke. These rich flavors meld together to make the perfect BBQ sauce. Not only is this BBQ sauce wonderfully tasty, it’s also super easy to make. Just whisk a few ingredients together, and you’re done!

  Twice Baked Potatoes have always been a favorite of mine, so when I saw this recipe for Potatoes Romanoff (something I had never tried before) I knew I had to make it immediately! It takes the twice baked potato to a whole new level by shredding the baked potato and folding in lots of […]

  My husband has a “thing” for General Tso’s chicken. A relationship of sorts. On any given day when I’m in the mood for Chinese takeout, sit down Thai, or a Japanese steakhouse, he’s in the mood for … General Tso’s. He rarely goes outside the box and tries anything new because his love for […]

  Salad. For breakfast. Sounds a little weird, but we’ve been making breakfast salads in the Perry house for over a year now. If anyone had told me five years ago that I’d be eating salads for breakfast and keeping things like flaxseed and giant containers of coconut oil in my pantry, I would have […]

  Up until a few years ago, I didn’t consider myself a scone gal. I don’t want to point any fingers, but my lack of enthusiasm for the traditional breakfast bread likely had something to do with a decidedly dry specimen my 9th-grade friends and I made in our Home Economics class. Of course, that […]
