You can make these for Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or Easter, or on any random day you choose. Green beans are a wonderful year-round side, but are particularly in-season in the springtime. I have some almost ready for harvest in my backyard vegetable garden right now! And I’m almost certainly going to be making this recipe again with them. Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables. I love that they are delicious raw, crisp-tender (like in this recipe), or cooked for hours until soft and mushy (like Southern-Style green beans)....

📖 How to make slow cooker black bean soup If you prefer more heat, add a dash of cayenne or leave the seeds in your jalapeños. For a milder version, reduce the amount of jalapeños or swap for a sweeter pepper variety. Use gloves while handling jalapenos! If you have the time, use homemade vegetable stock. The extra richness will make a noticeable difference in the soup’s flavor. Blending just half of the soup gives it a perfect balance of creamy and chunky textures....

Not if you have carnitas cooking in your slow cooker, just waiting for you to arrive home and assemble the most delicious tacos you have ever had in a mere 15 minutes! Healthier, tastier, cheaper, and much more satisfying than picking up Chipotle. Trust me. Not a whole lot is better than a homemade carnitas taco, my friends. Not. A whole. Lot. Confession time. There was a time when Zach and I first started dating that we ate out a lot....

Usually, I make a mayo-free cole slaw that I call “Bar Harbor Coleslaw” (since the recipe came from a restaurant in Bar Harbor, Maine). It’s delicious, but it uses TONS of sugar. This recipe only uses 2 tablespoons of honey, which can easily be omitted for a completely sugar-free recipe. I love how colorful this cole slaw recipe is. The light green cabbage, dark green jalapeno peppers and cilantro, red onions, and orange carrots are soooo pretty together....

Making your favorite Chinese-inspired take-out food from home is so much easier than you’d think! And this easy sweet and sour chicken with pineapple recipe is no exception. The chicken is seasoned with soy sauce and spices, then coated in cornstarch and pan-fried until crispy. Then, it’s mixed with sautéed peppers, onions, and pineapple, along with the most delicious sweet and sour sauce made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry....

Can you make The BEST Roast Potatoes ahead of time? Yes. The best way to prepare roasted potatoes in advance is to peel and cut them as per step 2 and then cover them with water (so they are completely submerged) and refrigerate them. It’s important that salt isn’t added as the potatoes will go brown. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours, drain, pat dry with a paper towel and proceed with step 3....

Autumn is here and if I sound excited that’s because I am! It’s perhaps because I am an October child, but I love this time of the year. The sun is lower in the sky, nature’s colours become more muted, there is a rustling carpet of fallen leaves underfoot eventually, baking and crocheting (both things I like) is in, staying cosy is in, apples and pumpkins are in, what’s not to like?...

Crêpes may seem like one of these things that you’ll have to miss out on once you go vegan, but you’ll be pleased to know that it’s not the case. All you need to make a tasty vegan batter is two everyday ingredients: plant milk and all purpose flour. Simples! It did take me a few attempts to get the exact proportions right, but since I used to make regular crêpes from time to time, I had some idea of what consistency of batter I’m looking for....

As I make these gingerbread cookies in my kitchen, music playing in the background, cat sleeping on a chair next to me, Duncan working away at the computer, my mind travels to my childhood. When my brother and I were little, my parents had a brilliant idea of keeping us both quiet and too busy to fight. All it took was a box of plasticine and an MDF board each (times were tough in communist Poland 😉 )....

This past week has seen me making (and eating 🙂 🙁 ) A LOT of cakes and processing about a ton of apples. Our newly acquired (it’s our first summer in the new house) apple tree has surprised us with an unusually early and abundant apple crop, so I had no choice but to learn one thing I swore to myself I would never bother with when I grow up – the art of canning....

As you may have noticed, I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to cooking. I like to cherry-pick aspects of different cuisines and twist them a fair amount for my own recipes. Unless you are one of these people who can eat the same thing day in and day out, being able to draw on the culinary heritage of the whole world is very much a necessity when you become vegan....

This creamy chicken and rice soup recipe is roughly based on my Chicken and Dumplings recipe, which is one of Bowl of Delicious’s most popular recipes. That recipe adds fresh thyme to the dumplings, and this chicken and rice soup uses fresh thyme in the soup itself. But no fussing with dumplings here! You get a lot of the same flavor with less work. And because we’re using enriched rice here (also known as converted or parboiled rice), the leftovers hold up really well....

This tomato cucumber salad is perfect for a summery side dish, and is a great way to use up a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes (especially if you’re like me and have them growing in your garden!). And it can even serve as a whole meal with additional protein, like chickpeas or grilled chicken! I had it for a simple lunch with pita bread and hummus. The great thing about this salad?...
