Coffe, cream, a touch of cinnamon, and a whole lot of deliciousness.

This Cafe au Lait Pudding from A Cozy Kitchen just looks like the perfect sweet weekend treat, don’t you think? I’ve been in love with it ever since I first saw it.

Here’s the link to their original blog post. And while you’re there, spend some time checking out all their other wonderful recipes. We love them, and we know you’ll love them, too.

Thanks, ladies!

Happy weekend, everyone!

It’s Friday! You know what that means. It means the weekend is almost upon us, giving us two days to sleep in a little bit, and the luxury of spending a little more time enjoying a sit-down breakfast instead of just the usual grab-and-go weekday fare.

This Cajun Eggs Benedict from TK member Jessie is just the kind of leisurely breakfast that makes weekend mornings special. Don’t be intimidated by the detailed instructions: this comes together quickly and easily. Nothing complicated here! The smoked paprika and cayenne give the sauce a nice earthiness and mild kick, and it stands up well to the bold flavors of the andouille sausage. And we love that Jessie uses biscuits here!

Do you already have something planned for your weekend mornings? If not, bring on the heat with this hearty breakfast!

Pizza night gets all dressed up with caramelized onions, spicy sausage, and creamy Gouda cheese. Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it? I just love simple pizzas that give every topping a chance to shine. What can I say, I’m an equal-opportunity-topping kind of girl. Don’t have time to make pizza dough? This pizza from TK member Tanya Schroeder even uses store-bought thin crust pizza dough, so you can make it in no time.

Thanks for sharing the recipe, Tanya! Head over to her blog, Lemons for Lulu, for more of her wonderful creations and gorgeous, gorgeous food photography.

This hearty vegetarian Cheesy Acorn Squash Stuffed with Southwestern Quinoa from TK member Maya looks so delicious with the melted cheese draped over a spicy stuffing of red onion, jalapenos, quinoa, black beans, corn, and cilantro, all flavored with cumin and chili powder. I mean, come on. How good does that sound? And if you absolutely need to add meat (for those of us who have hardcore carnivores at the table), I’m sure adding some chorizo or even ground turkey will fix that.

Thanks for this wonderful vegetarian dinner, Maya! I love that it’s naturally gluten-free, too. Go check out Maya’s beautiful blog, Alaska from Scratch, for more of her gorgeous photography and enticing recipes.

Happy Wednesday!

Shawarma is very similar to a gyro or doner kebab, and I was fortunate enough to live in a place where I had easy access to it. It's one of my all-time favorite street foods, so imagine my excitement when I saw a home-kitchen-friendly version here on Tasty Kitchen!

  As soon as I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen this morning, I was completely smitten. How gorgeous does this look? Here’s the recipe: Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, submitted by Kay (The Church Cook). Not only do I think this buttercream frosting looks delicious, I also think it’s such a lovely food photo. It does […]

  It’s Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? Do you have big plans? Sleep plans? Grill plans? Or maybe just “let’s see what the world throws at me” plans? Whatever you have planned, I hope you squeeze in a little treat for yourself. I know I’ve been talking about soups and chowders lately, and […]
