These protein bagels are made with just 5 ingredients, plus toppings! You can make them in the oven or air fryer (my favorite way!...

Roasted Cauliflower Rice Riced Cauliflower is a fantastic stand-in for rice when you want to eat low-carb, grain-free or keto. This roasted version is outstanding, but some of my favorite cauliflower recipes recipes are Cauliflower Fried Rice, Cauliflower Rice Arancini, and Skillet Cauliflower Rice Arroz Con Pollo. What can’t cauliflower do! I love cauliflower every way from boiled, to roasted, but I also love using it for low carb swaps....

As the pastry dough bakes, rugelach tastes like a buttery flaky crust. The sweetness of the sugars and walnuts rolled on the inside of the cookie creates perfect complimentary flavors. Walnuts always have a way of being the star of both sweet and savory recipes. I love the addition of walnuts in my banana bread and fudge, but you have to try this amazing honey walnut shrimp! What Is Rugelach?...

The two elements in this recipe—the tofu and marinade—both have their perks. Frozen and thawed tofu is spongy, chewy, and has a crave-worthy crispy crunch without any excess fryer oil. The marinade, with its blend of savory, sweet, nutty, and warm flavors, soaks into the tofu cubes in as little as 30 minutes. The best part is you can pair this marinated tofu with anything, making this an essential recipe for weekly meals, meal prep, and more....

Most vegan chili recipes have you take so many shortcuts that you end up with a bowl of bean soup dressed up with some chili powder. But if you’re willing to follow the steps in this recipe, you’ll be rewarded with an authentic bean chili unlike any other. Many dried chile peppers carry notes of fruit, berries, chocolate, coffee, and/or raisins, adding layers of rich flavors. And when you layer homemade chili powder with fresh jalapeños and canned chipotle peppers, you get layer upon layer of complementary warming flavors: smoky, fruity, grassy, all in one bowl of chili....

Rich, luxurious caramel with a pinch of sea salt reminds me of the gooey-centered masterpieces I overindulged on in my favourite Parisian chocolateries some years ago. These days, whenever I hear the words ‘salted caramel’, my ears prick up like a meerkat on predator watch. And because it’s become so popular, this happens often. In this recipe, I’ve paired salted caramel with toasted sesame seeds, dark chocolate and a touch of coconut oil....

Rating: 5 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars Review: I had read some reviews that there wasn’t enough flavor in the sauce. They suggested to reserve half of the enchilada sauce for the end. I added an extra bouillon cube to the crockpot and everything turned out fantastic. The flavor was awesome, but if you would like to reserve half of the sauce you can if you would like and pour on burritos at the end!...

Ground turkey and chickpeas are slow cooked with turmeric, paprika, coriander and lots of vegetables for a cozy dish that only gets better with time – so leftovers make a delicious lunch. This is also freezer friendly and naturally gluten-free. It’s so strange how addicted I am to chickpeas these days – a legume I once stayed far away from. Now I can’ get enough of them, and since they are high in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, I’m glad I’ve learned to love them....
