I love a good food fad. I remember the first time I heard the word “cronut” and I was utterly confused! But I was also equally intrigued. How could a mash up of croissant and doughnut possibly be a bad thing? When I saw Chris Castro’s recipe for Buttermilk-Vanilla Glazed Croissant Donuts, I knew that the “cronut” bandwagon was one I had to hop on!

This Cinnamon Ice Cream (brought to us by Amy here on Tasty Kitchen) is easily one of the smoothest I’ve ever made. Most of the time I don’t bother with making a custard base for my homemade ice creams. I generally lack the patience to wait for it to cool completely before churning. The results of non-cooked ice cream are quite good but if you want to take your ice cream to the next level of smooth creaminess, I highly recommend taking the time to cook up a custard.

There isn’t anything better than the smell of good BBQ. It’s a summer time staple. And no recipe has had me longing for summer as much as John Thai Chili Coconut Shrimp Skewers. John is a BBQ competitor and after making these skewers, I can tell you that this is a man who knows what he’s doing behind a grill! You have to try these ASAP.

Mexican food and I have a special bond. I love it, it understands me and I can’t ever turn it down. It’s my food kryptonite.

Now I know I’m the “meat girl,” but I do actually enjoy the versatility that tofu offers as an ingredient. Tofu will absorb any flavor you add to it, so an ingredient that most people may think is bland can actually be made to pack a powerful flavor punch when cooked right. One of my […]

I won over all three of my picky little girls with these muffins! Spiced Sweet Potato Muffins, submitted by Tasty Kitchen member Kristin, are an exotic spin on a simple sweet potato muffin. They’re not only gluten-free, but they’re grain-free as well and easily made dairy-free! And they have chocolate chips. Maybe that’s why they liked them so much?

Before you go back to Bonefish Grill and spend $5 on Bang Bang Wednesdays, take a look at how simply you can make Lightened-Up Bang Bang Shrimp at home! TK member Sarah adapted this recipe and even lightened it up by turning the famous appetizer into a salad!

Oh my gosh. Today we’re going to make some easy comfort food and it’s like a giant hug in a bowl. So much flavor, so much punch! I’ve loved wonton soup forever and a day, but I never thought it was something that was doable at home. Being totally uneducated about it, I was clueless […]
