Garlic Toasted Rice
How to make rice that’s so good, you’ll want to taste it straight from the pot. I have been cooking rice like this for….a long time. I don’t remember a different way of preparing rice. Actually, I didn’t know there was a different way to prepare rice, unless you were tossing a Trader Joe’s bag…
The Diced Veggie Soup

Best Ever Date Bark
It’s a surprisingly satisfying and healthyish treat Do you love a good candy bar? My favorite is a Smirk bar (the kosher version of Snicker’s) but, whenever I indulge in one, I get that sugar high that leaves me feeling kind of “eh” after. Then my daughter showed me this fun date bark idea, and…

Toasted Marshmallow Sandwich Cookies
These fun cookies with a marshmallow filling are a kid’s favorite (adults like them too but might not admit it). The first time I made these cookies, I had no grand plans. They didn’t need to go into my freezer for anything in particular, and they were available for the tasting. That meant they were…

The Best Crispy Onion Strings
Easy to make and full of flavor. These have stood the test of time and are certainly the best Crispy Honey Mustard Onion Strings. I usually avoid writing recipes that are called “the best.” The reason for it is very simple. In 2 years from now, I might create a better version and I’ll have…
