The idea for this No-Bake Vegan Nutella Cake came from two sources. First, I noticed that A LOT of you really love my No-Bake Cookie Dough Bars, so I wanted to make another easy, no-bake vegan dessert. Second, I have been wanting to make (and eat) Nutella-flavored brownies for a long time, so there’s that. And you could just as well call these brownies instead of cake because they are rich and dense, just like brownies....

Spaghetti and Meat Sauce A few weeks ago I shared this easy Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce using jarred marinara sauce and turkey instead of beef. Tons of questions if it could be made on the stove, so of course to answer those questions I had to test it on the stove for the timing of the pasta. I wanted to make the meat sauce in this version from scratch and was craving beef in my sauce, but of course you can make this with turkey and jarred sauce if you wish!...

I had this thought the other day when I was eating my 100th Peppermint Kiss. What if I made my favorite snack with peppermint crushed in it? I loved the white chocolate and peppermint together and since I am kind of obsessed with muddy buddies, I decided to make this. HOLY COW! These were so good! It was seriously like Christmas in my mouth and I couldn’t stop eating them!...
My Persian neighbor introduced me to kofta a few years ago. He often has backyard parties complete with Persian music, family and plenty of food. His were made of beef and I never actually got his recipe. BUT I’m pretty good at replicating flavors and these came pretty darn close. And of course using turkey instead of beef makes these a lot lighter. Serve them as an appetizer or main dish....
Pork Chops and Applesauce When my applesauce was simmering in the crock pot, I knew I would be serving it with pork chops. I served them with buttermilk mashed potatoes and an Autumn Salad with Pears on the side.

I have been eating my mom’s delicious parathas every night this week, but I must admit, I’ve missed cooking. Punjabi Bhindi Masala happens to be my second favorite subzi, after Baingan Ka Bharta.

Butternut Squash Noodles They make a great side dish, but my favorite way to enjoy them is topped with a quick Beef Ragu, a Bolognese Sauce Stoganoff Meatballs, or my favorite, Italian Beef and Spinach Meatballs. Tommy is not a fan of zucchini noodles, but he loves butternut squash noodles. The best part is they only take about 10 minutes to cook and they don’t get soggy like zucchini, although they do tend to get soft and break if you cook them too long....
