Turkey Picadillo Growing up in a Latin home, beef picadillo was on dinner rotation as a kid. It’s also one of the first things I learned how to cook. It’s a 30 minute dish, while it cooks I cook my rice in another pot so everything is ready at the same time. Serve it with a quick slaw for a little acidity and dinner is ready! My family loves it with beef, but some nights I like to switch it up with turkey as a leaner option....

Cake and Ganache Ingredients I know it looks like a long list, but trust me, each ingredient is necessary to create the best flavor and texture.

Don’t worry, the coffee flavor isn’t overpowering. You can’t really taste it at all, it just deepens the chocolate flavor....

The first time I made a pumpkin tart was Thanksgiving circa 2002. I say pumpkin tart and not the more traditional pumpkin pie because I think a tart is a much better vehicle for a pumpkin pie filling (when the filling is done right, of course). I have had my fair share of pumpkin pie over the years, and I’ve honestly never tasted a pumpkin pie that blew my mind....

Warm Mexican Corn Salad Inspired by a very popular Mexican street food called elote, a typical street food of grilled corn, smothered with mayonnaise and topped with shredded cojita cheese and chili powder. It’s simply addicting and combines the flavor sensations of sweet, spicy, sour and savory. Here in New York, you can find vendors in Hispanic neighborhoods on busy street corners grilling corn and serving this special treat. There’s a heat wave in New York this week, so I skipped the grill and cooked the sweet corn on the stove just a few minutes....

This recipe is similar to my Best Christmas Crack made with saltines and a bit easier than my Homemade Toffee, but just as amazing!

You should make two batches just to be safe. With it’s crunchy graham base and buttery sweet middle, then topped with chocolate and nuts, it’s no wonder it’s a favorite....

Someone asked me the other day what my favorite recipe from my blog was. It is always hard to choose a favorite! Especially when I have so many good ones. But my mind always goes to the Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken. Chinese food is one of my favorite things! And this is so close to tasting straight from a restaurant.

Baking powder and baking soda are key ingredients in so many classic recipes! Baking soda is a must when baking cookies. Sometimes I use both, like in our favorite copycat Crumbl cookie recipe. And I couldn’t make my homemade pancake mix without the help of baking powder because it makes them SO fluffy! Baking Soda vs Baking Powder Baking soda and baking powder are both chemical leavening agents. The ingredient in a recipe makes dough or batter rise through a chemical reaction....
