The Wonton Soup to satisfy your cravings

I’ve had a hard time finding good takeout wonton soup near me, so, since it’s one of my favorite comfort foods, I’ve perfected the art of making it for myself.

If you think wonton soup is a combination of mushy wontons and flavorless broth, this soup will change your mind.

This post will walk you through how to make the shrimp filling and a super flavorful broth. It will also show you, step-by-step, how easy folding soup wontons actually is.

In no time, you’ll have a wonton assembly line happening in your kitchen, and a fresh and wholesome soup to eat!

“So yummy! Love the broth. I used whole shrimp and wouldn’t change a thing! Definitely a keeper. Thank you!”

This is the BEST way to cook Chilean Sea Bass

If there’s a recipe on this website that clearly demonstrates my cooking philosophy the best, it might just be this one.

We’re taking something kind of fancy but still easy to find at the store (sea bass, but you can also use cod, snapper, or grouper) and preparing it confidently, with classic, simple techniques, so that you end up with a restaurant-quality final product.

No panic attacks. No almost burning down your kitchen. No crazy ingredients you’ll have to go to a special grocery store for.

This best Chilean sea bass recipe comes together with perfectly cooked fish, tender fingerling potatoes, creamy Greek yogurt, and a bright, herby green sauce that will make you want to lick your plate.

Air Fried Brussel Sprouts

Have you seen that meme about how everybody hated Brussels sprouts in the 80’s and 90’s because they didn’t have the same marketing person they have now? Back then, they were steamed and bland, but now they’re fried and flavorful!

The Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts I’m sharing today have the NEW marketing person, but with the healthful twist of air frying rather than deep frying.

Because we all know that a boiled or steamed sprout just can’t compare to a crispy one. It’s all about that deep golden brown deliciousness, and your air fryer can get it done!

Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe

If you see all types of fall squashes at the grocery store, but are intimidated by preparing them, I’m here to take the mystery out of roasting delicata squash, at least.

Delicata squash is one of the easiest fall squashes to turn into a side dish, because it’s easy to cut, the skin is edible (no peeling), and the sweet, mellow flavor pairs well with a variety of entrees.

To go above and beyond most roasted delicata squash recipes, this one has a no-cook, two-ingredient glaze that transforms the humble squash into something you’d find at an upscale restaurant.

What is Delicata Squash?

Delicata squash, which is also sometimes known as sweet potato squash, is a winter squash with a creamy texture and sweet, nutty flavor.

It has thin, edible skin, which sets it apart from many other winter squash varieties. It’s easy to prepare because you don’t have to peel it!

Apple Cider Old Fashioned

It’s fall here in Michigan, which means one thing – apple season! Today, I’m sharing an apple cider version of my favorite cocktail – the old fashioned.

This apple cider bourbon cocktail recipe incorporates the classic elements of an old fashioned – bitters, orange peel and bourbon, but with a few unique twists.

Instead of the traditional sugar cube that’s usually muddled with the orange peel to add sweetness, I am using maple syrup to sweeten this apple cider old fashioned!

Most old fashioneds do not have any sort of “mixer” added to them – they are, essentially, bourbon over ice, with a little bit of sugar and bitters. While I love them the classic way, I will admit that sometimes, it’s a little strong for me.

So, topping this old fashioned off with apple cider makes it a little more of an easy drinking cocktail.

A Bourbon Lemon Cocktail perfect for happy hour

A well-made bourbon sour (or bourbon smash drink) is a refreshing joy to drink. Made with bourbon and a generous amount of simple syrup and lemon juice, it’s sweet while still being well, sour.

But what if you could elevate the experience even more? This Bourbon Rosemary Cocktail only requires adding a few sprigs of rosemary to the pot while you’re making the simple syrup.

This rosemary-infused simple syrup is also the backbone of my cranberry rosemary cocktail, grapefruit vodka cocktail and rosemary gin cocktail.

Today, we’re using it for a sophisticated yet approachable twist on a classic bourbon sour.

The perfect Rosemary Syrup Recipe for whisky, gin, vodka or mocktails!

Whether it’s summer and I have lots of it in my garden, or it’s fall and I have some leftover after making butternut squash noodles, it seems like I often have extra rosemary I want to use up.

If you can relate, and you love a great cocktail, I suggest you try this fresh homemade Rosemary Simple Syrup.

Do you like whisky? Or maybe you prefer gin or vodka? The great news is that this syrup pairs perfectly with ALL of those things.

Or, if a mocktail is more your speed, I have you covered there, too.

Have you ever had Zucchini Grilled?

While sauteed and roasted zucchini are delicious, my personal favorite way to prepare this vegetable is on the grill.

If you’ve ever been intimidated by grilling zucchini, I can assure you that it’s easier than you think!

While many recipes require some precise knife work to cut each zucchini into perfectly flat slices, this one takes a much easier approach to cutting the vegetable.

Long spears of zucchini are super easy to cut and grill. We’ll also be adding a miso glaze for rich umami flavor with a touch of sweetness, elevating grilled zucchini to a whole new level.

Pickling Jalapenos at Home

Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite condiments (or is it a side dish?) for summer recipes, pickled jalapenos.

They are so so easy and affordable to make at home, and for some reason, it just feels right to have a batch of them in my fridge all summer long (and they’re certainly welcome the rest of the year, too).

What are Pickled Jalapenos?

Pickled jalapenos are a condiment made by preserving sliced jalapeno peppers in a seasoned vinegar solution.

The pickling process adds tang and tempers the spiciness of the peppers a little bit.
