There is no sense in saying, I was never a fan of Brussels sprouts. All along, they had been synonymous for me with dull sides sneaked into my plate during childhood. Then I found this recipe: creamy Brussels sprouts with crispy bacon. The first time I tried it, I thought, ”Man, these little green jewels…
My Take on This Recipe The recipe that I turn to in times of cheesy, comforting yet secretly healthy eating is, without a doubt, baked zucchini cheese. Nothing quite sets my taste buds buzzing quite like the merging of melted golden cheese with fresh zucchini. I almost always pull this recipe out of the oven,…
All I’m saying is that if I had to eat one single snack for LA backyard parties for the rest of my life, I would pick Mexican street corn, hands down. There is something about that smoky char on the corn, the creamy tang of the sauce, the salty hit of cheese, and the pop…
Admit it, this is probably one of those recipes for which one is actually quite hyper in even thinking of preparing. Soft, warm bread, gooey melted cheese, smoky green chiles, and garlicky butter are all comestibles that never pass one’s mind without salivating excessively.

If there’s one meal that makes me breathe a sigh of relief at the end of a long day, it’s this one. I love how the Slow Cooker Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice practically cooks itself while filling the house with the most comforting aroma. The chicken turns fall-apart tender, the rice soaks up all…

I love how they bring all the bright, fresh flavors of Mediterranean cooking to the table in such an easy, approachable way. Honestly, every time I make…
Okay, I’m just going to say it—this recipe feels downright indulgent, and I’m not mad about it. I’ve always loved churros with their cinnamon-sugar crunch, and I’ve always loved French toast with its custardy, soft center. So one day, I thought: why not combine them?

But here’s the thing sometimes I don’t have the energy to stand at the stove rolling tortillas and baking a whole casserole dish. That’s where my slow cooker comes to the…
