Roast Beef Sliders – The EASY Way! Sandwiches are one of my love languages. While a boring sandwich is a waste, a good sandwich is pure bliss. These Baked Roast Beef Sliders fall into the latter! They have the perfect combo of soft, sweet bread enveloping the savory meat and cheese combo. In my opinion, every really good sandwich has a sauce, and this one has two! A tangy horseradish sauce, and a rich buttery onion sauce that bathes the top and bakes in for extra flavor....

I told you we picked a lot of blueberries. In fact, the tart and ice cream were attempts to use what was left AFTER all the jam. All in all I made about 14 jars worth of blueberry jam, in three different flavor combinations. I’ve realized I like to make jam much more than I like to eat jam. It’s a problem. Attention, loved ones (you know who you are), please pretend to be surprised when you receive a box full of jam and preserves in a few months, probably more than you really want or need....

I kind of shot myself in the foot when I made that incredible Rainbow Cake last year. As my little sister’s birthday approached, I kept thinking, “how on EARTH am I going to top the rainbow cake?” I mean, seriously. The only things that top rainbows are sparkles and unicorns. Or booze. And since a unicorn cake is entirely beyond my skill set, I went with the later. And set out to make the booziest, bourbonyest cake I could....

All you have to do is add ingredients into the slow cooker, turn it on, give it a stir mid-cooking and leave it alone. There are lots of creamed corn recipes out there, and I bet they are all pretty good, but this one is my favorite. Quick, easy, and oh so yummy! What Kind Of Corn Should I Use? This is entirely up to you and your convenience. I like to use frozen corn because it’s the next best thing to use actual fresh corn, but you can certainly use fresh or canned whole kernel corn....

Easy Homemade Salsa! One of the things I love so much about salsa is that the flavors are so fresh and simple, but also crazy delicious. Pico de gallo, or Pico for short, is one of my favorite salsas and it is so easy to make at home! It is created simply by combining fresh tomato, onion, cilantro, and lime with optional jalapeño for heat. While many salsas use canned tomatoes, or can require cooking, Pico de gallo just uses fresh veggies and herbs, and because of this, is sometimes also referred to also as salsa fresca....

So, every year I go to my aunt’s kitchen garden with the biggest basket I can find. Because every year they grow too many tomatoes, and every yeah I am thankful for this abundance. They’ve got a 200 year-old walled kitchen garden – so with 200 years of cultivation and effort, it is seriously productive. Plus of course it has greenhouses all along the south-facing walls, so they can grow chillies, grapes, melons and even aubergines....

Talk about summer lovin’…. this ice cream cake is layers upon layers of goodness: a rich and fudgy brownie and a no-churn coffee-infused ice cream that’s as easy as it is delicious. The cherry on top (icing on the cake, rather) is the mountain of brownie chunks, chocolate covered espresso beans, and a hot fudge drizzle. Making your own no-churn coffee ice cream (instead of using a store bought ice cream) gives you the flexibility to use decaf coffee beans for less of a buzz (while I love coffee flavor, caffeine is not my friend)....

Not every Thanksgiving dish has to be larger-than-life-sized. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impression. Take sweet potato casserole, for instance. Wouldn’t it be better if, instead of an oversized casserole dish full of sweet slop, every person at your table got their own petite package of crispy and caramelized sweet potato, each nest topped with their own roasty toasty melty marshmallow? Sounds pretty awesome to me....

I’m sure you all have heard of the no-knead miracle bread. Just in the last few months have I started making this bread. I avoided it due to the long rest period. Don’t be like me this recipe is amazing! I only have one 5.5-quart dutch oven. All though absolutely divine, the original recipe just wasn’t enough to achieve a tall loaf in my pot. I researched to see if anyone had tried doubling the recipe for a larger dutch oven....
