Bangers and Mash

https://ift.tt/jdw3AWO

This classic bangers and mash recipe is cozy British pub food at its best, featuring golden sausages and creamy mashed potatoes all topped with a rich and savory onion gravy.

Every December, photos pop up on my TimeHop reminding me of the magical Christmas we spent in England many years ago celebrating some dear friends’ wedding. Amongst so many other fun memories, it was the trip where I fell in love with British pub culture — ducking into charming bars to escape the winter chill, cozying up with a pint or warm mugs of mulled wine, savoring some of the country’s famous comfort foods, and soaking in the lively folk music and cheerful pub vibes. It was such a special and delicious trip. And I’ll always remember it was there that I had my first taste of classic bangers and mash. ♡

This simple dish is the epitome of British comfort food — hearty, humble and absolutely packed with flavor. Savory sausages are browned up in a skillet and then served atop a warm bed of creamy, buttery mashed potatoes. Then they’re topped with a generous ladle of onion gravy, and usually served with a sprinkling of sweet green peas on the side. It’s one of those simple, straightforward dishes that always ends up being greater than the sum of its parts. And on a cold winter’s day, it’s always guaranteed to warm you up through and through.

There are all sorts of ways that you could customize this dish if you’d like, adding in some extra veggies or seasonings, or making it gluten-free or even vegetarian (with your favorite plant-based sausages). But the classic here is honestly hard to beat, in my opinion. So the next time you’re craving some comfort food, I highly recommend picking up your favorite sausages and giving this one a try!

Ginger Scallion Chicken Soup

https://ift.tt/rwlC6sd

This 30-minute ginger scallion chicken soup is packed with fresh veggies, protein, and simmered in a richly-flavored broth.

For anyone else craving a light and refreshing chicken soup to balance out the winter marathon of comfort foods, allow me to introduce you to a new favorite — ginger scallion chicken soup. ♡

This recipe takes everything I love about traditional Chinese ginger scallion sauce and transforms it into a simple, brothy, veggie-packed chicken soup. It’s loaded up with vibrant baby bok choy, shiitake mushrooms and scallions, all of which cook quickly and add the most lovely mix of rich and fresh flavors to the soup. I recommend adding in some shredded rotisserie chicken for protein (or tofu, shrimp, whatever you prefer). Then we’ll cook everything together in chicken broth with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, white pepper and toasted sesame oil until the soup is simmering. And finally, top each bowl with a swirl of chili crisp and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, plus an extra handful of scallions for good measure.

This ginger scallion soup comes together easily in 30 minutes (or less, if you’re multitasking and moving quickly!). It’s bursting with fresh, savory, cozy flavors. And it’s full of protein to leave you feeling energized, without weighing you down.

I’ve made this recipe multiple times over the past few weeks and can’t stop craving. So who knows, I’ll probably make another batch tonight — join me?

Fettuccine Alfredo

https://ift.tt/UDB7Kmh

This chicken fettuccine alfredo recipe is easy to make with the coziest creamy garlic sauce.

Everyone needs a good fettuccine alfredo recipe. ♡

This classic creamy pasta will forever be one of our family’s favorite comfort foods. We actually had the privilege of trying authentic alfredo a few years back at the restaurant where it was “born” in Rome (absolutely delicious, tossed simply with butter and Parmesan). But I have to admit, the American in me will always have a soft spot for the nostalgic Olive Garden-style alfredo of my childhood. By contrast to the Roman version, Italian-American alfredo sauce is extra creamy and velvety, made with additional cream, garlic, flour (to thicken) and a pinch of nutmeg for seasoning. And when served up nice and warm, I’m convinced this dish is comfort food at its finest.

Here in our family, we usually serve alfredo topped with pan-seared chicken or shrimp, but feel free to add whatever other protein or veggies you might prefer. Or, of course, just enjoy the pasta plain! I’ve also included some ideas below for fun twists on the classic (such as adding lemon, truffle oil or Cajun seasoning) if you’d like to shake things up. However you make it, fettuccine alfredo is pretty much guaranteed to be a winner.

So the next time you’re craving some comfort food, let’s make pasta together!

And the result is so much richer, creamier and flavorful than any store-bought mix. Feel free to customize your hot chocolate to make it as bitter or sweet, light or bold, or infused with whatever fun add-ins (peppermint, espresso, caramel, etc) that you prefer. You can also opt to use dairy milk or whichever plant-based milk that you prefer. And of course, don’t forget the toppings — whipped cream, marshmallows or chocolate shavings are always a good idea!

Whether you’re snuggling up on the couch, making a quick batch for the kids, or serving it up for a large holiday gathering, this recipe is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

So grab your favorite mug, and let’s make some homemade hot chocolate together!

Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe | 1-Minute Video

Hot Chocolate Ingredients

Here are a few quick notes about the homemade hot chocolate ingredients you will need to make this recipe:

• Milk: Plain milk is my favorite creamy, velvety base to use when making homemade hot chocolate. Feel free to use dairy milk or your favorite plant-based milk, such as oat, almond or soy milk.
• Semisweet chocolate chips: Basic semisweet chocolate chips add rich chocolate flavor and a hint of sweetness to the drink, as well as help to give it a slightly thicker and luxurious texture.
• Cocoa powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder helps to boost the intensity of the chocolate flavor while giving you a bit more control over the sweetness of the drink.
• Sugar: Feel free to add as much or as little additional sugar as you would like to sweeten the drink to taste. You can either just use basic white granulated sugar, cane sugar, or whatever sweetener you prefer.
• Vanilla extract: A hint of vanilla extract warms up the flavor of the drink, enhancing the chocolatey richness of each sip.
• Salt: Don’t skip the salt! A pinch of fine sea salt sharpens the flavor of the chocolate and really makes the flavors pop!
• Toppings (optional): Finally, feel free to top your homemade hot chocolate with whatever toppings you love best — whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, you name it!

How To Make Hot Chocolate

Step-by-step instructions for how to make hot chocolate are included in the recipe below, but here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:

• Heat milk slowly. Heat the milk gently over medium heat so that it doesn’t accidentally scorch or form a skin on top.
• Whisk constantly. Be sure to also whisk the milk occasionally as it heats so that the bottom doesn’t accidentally burn.
• Sweeten to taste. I recommend starting with around 1/3 cup of additional sweetener, but please feel free to use more or less sweetener to taste. (The sweetness of the type of chocolate chips or milk that you use can vary significantly, so it’s always a good idea to give it a taste and tweak as needed.)
• Warm your mugs. If you would like your hot chocolate to stay nice and warm, rinse your mugs with hot water just before serving.

Hot Chocolate Variations

Here are a few fun ways that you’re welcome to customize a cup of homemade hot chocolate:

• Peppermint Hot Chocolate: Add a hint of peppermint extract and garnish with candy canes.
• Mexican Hot Chocolate: Add a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of cayenne and a drizzle of vanilla extract.
• Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate: Add a scoop of creamy peanut butter.
• Mocha Hot Chocolate: Add a shot of espresso.
• Lavender Hot Chocolate: Steep 1 teaspoon of culinary-grade dried lavender in the milk before adding the other ingredients, then strain and proceed with the recipe as directed.
• Spiked Hot Chocolate: Add a shot of Bailey’s, Kahlua or bourbon.

Monkey Bread

https://ift.tt/YLU1hyt

This classic monkey bread recipe is made with buttermilk biscuits baked in a buttery, gooey, irresistible cinnamon sugar sauce. Easy to make with 5 simple ingredients with minimal prep time!

Now that we’re living in the Land of Canned Biscuits again (a.k.a. the United States), I have happily resumed one of my favorite holiday baking traditions — weekend monkey bread! ♡

We always had to put in the extra time to make homemade biscuits from scratch for monkey bread while we were living in Barcelona. It was, of course, delicious, but not quite the simple and nostalgic version I grew up with. On a lazy December morning, I much prefer to hit the ‘easy button’ and let Pillsbury do most of the work for me.

So for anyone else who also craves this throwback sweet treat this time of year, I thought I’d repost the tried-and-true monkey bread recipe that I’ve been making for the past two decades. It’s made with just 5 simple ingredients — canned buttermilk biscuits, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon — and it’s always so fun and easy to assemble. (Even more special for us right now with cute little toddler hands to help!)

I’ve included some extra options below for various ways to customize the recipe by adding in nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. Or you can also never go wrong with an extra cream cheese drizzle on top. However you make it, I promise this gooey sweet treat is always a winner. So grab some biscuits and let’s make some monkey bread together!

Vegetarian Pozole

https://ift.tt/iJ1X2fE

This vegetarian pozole recipe is a non-traditional take on the classic made with beans, hominy and veggies all simmered together in a richly-seasoned broth.

Last winter, my friend Erin invited us over on a chilly evening for steaming bowls of vegetarian pozole — and I haven’t stopped craving it since. ♡

By contrast to traditional Mexican pork pozole, which is made with whole dried chiles and pork and slow-simmered for hours, this vegetarian (also vegan) version comes together in just 30 minutes thanks to a handful of non-traditional shortcuts. First, we’ll pop open a few cans of beans (I like a mix of pinto and white beans) to serve as our main protein source. Second, instead of reconstituting and blending whole dried chiles to season the broth, we’ll save time by using a rich blend of dried spices. And for the final flavor boost, we’ll add in a cup of salsa verde, which adds tangy, smoky depth to the broth. Each spoonful is bursting with savory, smoky, earthy, spicy, rich flavors — guaranteed to warm you up through and through.

I will note that the recipe as written here is definitely on the spicier side, so if you’re sensitive to heat, please see the notes below about how to tone it down. (Or if you love a spicy soup, you can always amp things up!) And definitely do not skip the traditional pozole toppings — crisp cabbage, creamy avocado, crunchy radishes, and zesty cilantro perfectly balance the hearty flavors and textures of this soup.

Ready for a cozy bowl of vegetarian pozole? Let’s do it.

Sausage and Gnocchi Marinara

https://ift.tt/mHvzP6i

This sausage and gnocchi marinara recipe is easy to make in 30 minutes and simmered in a rich tomato-basil sauce.

This cozy, one-pot, 30-minute meal is everything I’m craving right now. ♡

Pillowy potato gnocchi and zesty Italian chicken sausage nestle together in a bubbly tomato-basil sauce until perfectly tender. Then each serving bowl is finished with a very generous shower of freshly-grated Parmesan, adding the perfect pop of salty, nutty flavor to each bite. It’s a high-protein, low-fuss meal that can be ready to go stat — one of those perfect back-pocket recipes for busy weeknights or anytime you’re craving some Italian comfort food!

Feel free to switch up the protein, toss in some extra veggies, or add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce if you’d like. This recipe is endlessly adaptable and pretty much guaranteed to be a hit no matter how you make it. So the next time you’re craving a quick and cozy dinner, grab some chicken sausage and gnocchi and let’s make a batch together!

Rosemary Honey Butter Roasted Carrots

https://ift.tt/bgsCFyu

This easy roasted carrots recipe is tossed with a garlic rosemary honey butter and sprinkled with flaky sea salt. Absolutely irresistible!

I could happily make a meal just out of these roasted carrots. ♡

Seriously. I don’t usually rank carrots high on my list of favorite veggies. But the garlicky rosemary honey brown butter here is absolutely divine and helps the carrots to caramelize beautifully while roasting in the oven. Oh, and we’ll save half of the butter to drizzle on just before serving, creating a lovely finishing glaze for the carrots as well.

It’s a simple recipe that takes less than 15 minutes to prep, it’s naturally gluten-free (plus easy to make vegan if you’d like), and it can be paired with any number of entrées or holiday spreads. It’s on the menu here in our house for Thanksgiving this year and I already can’t wait to roast another batch. Just be warned — you can easily pop these little carrots like candy straight off of the baking sheet, so there’s no guarantees they’ll all make it to the table.

Let’s make some roasted carrots together!

https://ift.tt/xYjEBAN

My favorite homemade garlic knots recipe is super-easy to make and topped with garlic butter and Parmesan.

Honestly, life is just better with a batch of buttery garlic knots fresh out of the oven. ♡

I’ve always used my trusty 1-Hour Soft and Buttery Dinner Rolls recipe to make garlic knots, brushing them with an extra round of garlic butter just before serving and finishing each knots with a sprinkle of Parmesan and flaky sea salt. And when I say that friends always love these rolls, I mean people truly LOVE THESE ROLLS.

These rolls are perfect for just about any occasion and are pretty much guaranteed to disappear before you know it.

That said, my favorite thing about this recipe in particular is that it’s easy to make with no hours-long rise times required. All you need are a few basic ingredients and you’ll be ready to go.

This classic Amaretto Sour recipe is easy to make and perfectly balanced with sweet, tart, almondy flavors.

If you’re looking for a cocktail that’s the perfect mix of cozy yet sophisticated, you can’t go wrong with a classic amaretto sour. ♡

We made a round of these the other day and I was reminded how this drink checks all the boxes of everything I love in a good whiskey cocktail this time of year. The sweet almond notes of the Amaretto mix beautifully the rich depth of the bourbon, creating a warm base for the cocktail that’s perfectly balanced with a bright zing of fresh lemon juice and a frothy egg white topping. If you lean towards a sweeter cocktail, you can add in an extra splash of maple or simple syrup. Or, my favorite, include a few dashes of bitters for extra aromatics. Garnish with a lemon zest and a Luxardo cherry or two, and this lovely cocktail will be ready to enjoy in minutes!

Shaved Apple, Fennel and Arugula Salad

https://ift.tt/DypeAsR

This lovely shaved apple, fennel and arugula salad is tossed with candied pecans, Parmesan, basil and a lemon shallot vinaigrette.

Ok, this really is just the loveliest salad! ♡

I made it the other day to serve for dinner with cacio e pepe and everyone around the table absolutely adored it. So I’ve now added it to our Thanksgiving lineup and will probably bring it along to a few Christmas parties too since it’s so festive and seasonal and easy breezy — everything I love in a green salad this time of year!

I pulled out my mandoline (along with this safety glove, which you should definitely own too) so that I could shave the apple, fennel and Parmesan paper-thin, which gives this salad the loveliest airy, delicate texture. Then I added in a handful of candied pecans for crunch and fresh basil for a burst of aromatics, and tossed everything with a lemony shallot vinaigrette. It ends up having the most refreshing balance of sweet and savory flavors. And as a bonus, the ingredients all hold up well in the fridge, in case you’d like to prep most of the salad beforehand (see tips below).

Feel free to add in a protein (chicken, bacon, shrimp, etc) or swap in another kind of fruit or cheese or nuts that you might love best here. The recipe itself is easy to customize with whatever you may have on hand. I just recommend adding it to your list soon because it’s perfect for this time of year! Enjoy!

Garlic Green Beans

https://ift.tt/whnBv7F

These perfectly-blistered, tender, garlic green beans are easy to make and so flavorful!

We’re big French green beans fans here in our home. Like, blaze-through-a-Costco-sized-bag-nearly-once-a-week kind of fans. They’re my go-to, favorite green veggies to cook up as a quick side dish. And while we reguarly rotate between cooking them in the oven, air fryer and on the stovetop, it’s hard to beat a basic batch of perfectly-blistered green beans made in a skillet. ♡

This is the version I make most often —  a batch of French green beans (also called haricots verts) sautéed simply with a few cloves of garlic, sea salt, lots of freshly-ground black pepper, and finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. We prefer cooking our green beans until they’re nice and blistered on all sides, so that you get that extra hint of caramelized, charred flavor in every bite. I’ve included all of my best tips below to ensure that the garlic doesn’t burn and the green beans retain their crisp, tender texture while charred, so be sure to read the notes before you begin. And of course, feel free to incorporate any other add-ins that might sound good too, such as a sprinkling of Parmesan, toasted nuts, bacon bits, chili crisp, or whatever else might sound good.

This recipe is one of those simple side dishes that’s perfect for everything from quick weeknight dinners to a grand Thanksgiving feast. So the next time you’re craving green beans, grab your skillet and let’s make a quick batch together!

Garlic Green Beans Ingredients

Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients you will need to make these skillet green beans:

• French green beans: These slender, tender green beans (haricots verts) have the loveliest, slightly-sweet flavor and are perfect for blistering in a skillet.
• Garlic: I love using lots of garlic in this recipe — very finely minced or pressed, so that the chunks aren’t too big — but feel free to use however much or little garlic that you prefer.
• Avocado oil: I recommend using a neutral high-heat oil for charring, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil, which won’t burn and smoke quite as much as extra virgin olive oil.
• Salt and pepper: Fine sea salt (you could also use flaky sea salt for finishing) and freshly-ground black pepper are essential for seasoning the green beans. Be sure to give them a taste before serving and add extra if needed!
• Lemon wedges: Finally, I love serving skillet green beans with fresh lemon wedges, which add a burst of acidic, bright flavor to balance out the sweetness of the green beans.

Recipe Tips

Detailed instructions are included in the recipe below, but here are 5 extra tips to keep in mind when making sautéed green beans in the skillet:

• Preheat the skillet. Make sure that the skillet is fully preheated over medium-high heat so that the green beans begin cooking immediately once they hit the pan.
• Dry the green beans. Most packages of French green beans that you purchase at the store don’t need to be pre-washed nowadays. But if your batch seems like it needs a quick rinse, be sure to dry the green beans thoroughly before tossing them with oil so that they will char and not just steam.
• Avoid overcrowding. I recommend using your largest skillet so that the green beans are in as even a layer as possible.
• Stir occasionally. Super important — don’t stir or toss the green beans too often! It’s important for them to rest undisturbed for a minute or two between stirs so that they can blister on the bottom of the pan, which adds that delicious charred, caramelized layer of flavor to each bite.
• Serve immediately. Blistered green beans can lose their crisp texture the longer they sit out, so it’s best to serve them while they’re still hot fresh out of the pan!

Recipe Variations

Here are a few fun twists that you’re welcome to try with this blistered green beans recipe:

• Add Parmesan: Add a shower of freshly-grated Parmesan to the green beans once they have finished cooking.
• Add chili crisp: Drizzle chili crisp on the green beans just before serving.
• Add bacon: Sauté diced bacon along with the green beans (you can omit the extra oil and cook them in the bacon grease).
• Add nuts: Toss the green beans with toasted almonds or pine nuts just before serving.
