The word "luscious" is a bit overstated. It's pretty mind-blowing that four of the most simple ingredients in your kitchen can create something as unique as this lemon curd recipe. However, they manage to make it. You can create a small container of soft sunshine to spread on your meals with only a tiny saucepan, a whisk, and a few ingredients. Knowing how easy and quick it is and that you can store it in a freezer for later use, I'll never again spend $4 on an ounce of it in the grocery store. WHAT IS LEMON CURD?? It's one of the dreadful...

Fresh corn is among the best things about summer. It's juicy, sweet and extremely affordable when it's available, so I'm always looking to make the most of it! In this salad, I combined the fresh sweetness of sweet corn with another favorite of summer Zucchini and then cooked them both in high heat to create the flavor of a grill with a smokey smoky aroma. The Charred Corn and Zucchini Salad is delicious, easy to make, and beautifully conveys the freshness of summer vegetables. I am sure this will become my favorite summer meal. COOKING METHODS I used a scorching 10" cast-iron skillet to cook...

I am a sucker for the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables in summer and the colors and textures it adds to my food! I had fun with eggplant this week, which has an unusual, nearly meaty texture. Then I applied a short soy glaze which I've previously used to make legs of chicken (see Sticky Ginger Soy Glazed Chicken), and it turned out flawlessly. The Soy Glazed Eggplant is an easy and quick vegetarian meal for your weeknights and can also be prepared for meals the following week. Like most stir fry recipes, this one is quite adaptable, so I'll share some suggestions...

I didn't realize I was a fan of coleslaw until I cooked it myself. I had eaten it many times in restaurants but never been impressed, and I was constantly contemplating its appeal. However, I decided to whip up an easy batch of creamy coleslaw to serve on a sandwich, and the coleslaw completely took the spotlight. The combination of the creamy and crunchy kept me going back for more which I've made regularly ever since. The simple dressing recipe for my creamy coleslaw is created using some pantry staples, including a touch of Dijon mustard to add tang and honey to give...

I made a recipe for Honey Mustard Sauce a couple of months ago and could not resist the broccoli florets to dip into it. So I immediately decided to prepare a whole Honey Mustard Broccoli Salad. The salad is straightforward yet loaded with flavor and can be stored in the refrigerator well. Its Honey Mustard Broccoli salad makes an excellent summer side recipe, and you could serve it with grilling chicken to create a dinner! SUBSTITUTIONS If you think red onions aren't for you, use a few sliced green onions to replace them. Another option is to soak the red onion for around 5 minutes...

I'm eating fridge salads all summer. What do you think? Are you aware of what is a refrigerator salad? It's a healthy salad that stands well to the cold (doesn't become limp and soggy like lettuce) and is the perfect meal prepper's companion. In the summer, I enjoy making large quantities of salads in the refrigerator, such as the one below, Lemony Artichoke, and Quinoa Salad I can eat throughout the week. Sometimes I eat them as a light meal, and sometimes, I serve them as a snack and occasionally as a base dish for bowl-style meals. They're delicious, versatile, and aren't wasted in my...

At one point, I was contemplating purchasing an ice cream machine. I'm grateful I didn't, as this no-churn ice cream method is a breeze and makes an ice cream that's as silky soft and fluffy as churned ice cream, with no equipment needed. #WIN Although I haven't created no-churn ice cream for quite a while (because it is possible to have too much of a good thing). possible to make too many good things) and with the abundance of fresh peaches available in the stores this season, I couldn't resist making this tangy sweet, creamy No Churn Balsamic Peach Ice cream. CAN...

I created the most delicious Tashi Dressing with Lemon Dill this week. I have a huge list of dishes I'm excited to drizzle over. My first option was this light but satisfying summer salad recipe requiring no cooking. It's a great summer salad that's easy to make. Lemon Dill Salmon and Kale Salad uses its convenience with canned salmon and makes an easy and quick recipe for those hot moments in summer when you only want to enjoy the outdoors! This salad was simple, with just a couple of toppings. However, had plenty of various ingredients I wanted to add there. I plan to...

Do you require an idea for a baking project on Sunday? It would be best if you had it. Who doesn't want some cake to bake while relaxing on the weekend? Then, these Blueberry Lemon Curd Shortcakes are so easy, I'm not sure whether you can label it as a "project," but eating these will be an actual event since these little spectacular desserts are amazing. So, join me to celebrate the final day of summer's fruits by making blueberry lemon curd shortcakes! TOTALLY FROM SCRATCH, BABY! If you want to impress anyone, this dessert is the perfect way to impress them. It is...

I rarely make dessert, but when I make it, I usually cook things that aren't too sweet. Foods that can efficiently serve as breakfasts, such as lemon blueberry cornbread skillet. Making the recipe from my Homemade Cornbread recipe as a base, I added citrus zest and frozen blueberries. I then increased the sugar by one skosh to make it appear more like a type of coffee cake. The result is indeed delicious when paired with coffee!! The recipe also serves as a fantastic illustration for my Basic Budget Byting Rule #2--using costly ingredients sparingly and combining them with cheap items to maintain the total...
