Natalie’s brilliant post on Sarah’s recipe for Singapore Mei Fun the other day got me thinking about homemade versions of Chinese takeout favorites. There are quite a few that we always get every time that craving hits, and I’m glad it doesn’t hit more often than it already does because I’d be in big […]
Having small children definitely helps with the temptation to eat out frequently. So does finding popular restaurant or take out recipes to prepare at home. Enter: Singapore Noodles (Singapore Mei Fun) from Tasty Kitchen member Sarah. You’ll be glad you stayed home for this. I promise.
Today’s recipe for Pollo en Salsa al Horno (Roasted Chicken in Sauce), brought to us by Tammy (aka San Pasqual’s Kitchen here on Tasty Kitchen), was one of firsts for me. I can’t remember having cooked traditional Spanish food before. What a lovely introduction! This was also my first time cooking with saffron. I am so glad that I did. The flavor is subtle but adds a beautiful touch of distinction.
When you want a margarita, you want a margarita. And margaritas are best served with friends around! Have you seen cerveza-ritas on Mexican restaurant menus lately? I’m probably tardy to the party on this one, but after seeing them in every Mexican restaurant I’ve been to since college and then seeing TK Member Lindsay’s easy-peasy recipe for Cerveza-garita here, well, it was fate. And it was time to celebrate.
Remember when you were a kid and the best part of summer was running through the sprinkler, and afternoons getting sticky from about five too many fudge pops? Or was it eight? Whatever, they were awesome, and since we’re up to our sweaty necks in summer, these Banana Nutella Fudge Pops from TK member Laicie were right up my alley.
Now that we are in the hot months of summer, these Pimento Cheese Biscuits from TK member Marie will be the perfect picnic accompaniment. These tasty biscuits are just what you need to spice up any meal or to replace your typical piece of morning toast with something special!
It’s nearly impossible to pick your favorite thing about summer. How can you choose between long sunny days, running through the sprinkler, and bottomless glasses of lemonade? I’m adding one more thing to your favorite-things-about-summer list: this Strawberry Mango Salsa from TK member Danae. Strawberries are in season now, so head to your local farmers market and make this for your next shindig. Or just because.
A Shepherd’s Pie is one of those classic dishes that makes you feel all warm and cozy when you dig in to it. A traditional English dish that is normally made with lamb or mutton, this Paleo Shepherd’s Pie from Tk member Elana is made with beef and even has a little twist on the mashed potatoes.
