Perfect Cheesecake Without A Graham Cracker Crust Recipe
I created this recipe for a cheesecake without a graham cracker crust because I prefer not to use the graham crust. The store-bought variety is designed for pies and cannot contain all the cheesecake filling. Instead, I opted for a straightforward flour base, which provided a more traditional texture and was easier for me to prepare. The flour crust also ensures a sturdy foundation for the dense cheesecake layer, preventing any leaks or collapses. You can prebake the crust for a crispier edge.
The Best Korean Bulgogi Recipe With Ground Beef (ë‹¤ì§„ì†Œë¶ˆê³ ê¸°) From a Korean Mama
I’m so excited to present this simple and delicious Korean Bulgogi recipe with ground beef. It’s a fast dish, made in one wok or large pan. And just for the record, I am Korean. You know when you see a “Korean” recipe that has siracha sauce in it, it’s made by someone who doesn’t know WTF he or she is talking about. Siracha is Thai, okay? We are different! The sauce is made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and gochugaru (ê³ ì¶”ê°€ë£¨). If you don’t live near an Asian grocery store, then get it on Amazon.

Enter this no-bake chocolate truffle recipe, a creation from my desperation search of something sweet. They are an easy snack to make that combines the richness of chocolate with the natural sweetness of dates.

Amish Cottage Cheese Muffins Recipe (With a Feta Twist)
Living in Amish country, The Husband and I get to go to the local farmers’ market, where we can buy all sorts of Amish treats. This Amish cottage cheese muffins recipe is a knock off of the delicious (and simple) muffins of the same name. It is a simple and easy recipe, requiring just a quick mix of ingredients and pop into the oven. I used feta to give it a little different flavor, but you substitute milk and little bit of brown sugar for a more authentic flavor.
Pad Thai Sauce Recipe Without Tamarind
I created this Pad Thai sauce recipe without tamarind because tamarind is so difficult to find unless you order it on Amazon. I live right near an Asian grocery story, and I still can’t find it. Really, who needs to have yet another bottle hogging up space in the fridge? Totally not necessary! This sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory, and it is enough for one family meal (1 pound of meat and 16 ounces of rice noodles). Why not skip that Thai takeout?
Irresistible Chocolate Oat Balls Rolled in Coconut Recipe (Healthy Bounty Bites)
To help out The Husband with his workout routine, I decided to make these healthy bounty bites: chocolate oat balls rolled in coconut. Let me tell you how much I appreciate him working out. :) So I want to encourage him with these are little balls of deliciousness. For an added dose of goodness, you can add some protein powder to the chocolate, which will hide the chalky taste. These healthy bounty balls are also a good snack, a breakfast bite, or a homemade gift for Christmas.
Moist Banana Bread Muffins (An Easy Recipe!)
Ripe bananas be gone! Today, I’m going to make some moist banana bread muffins for a quick and easy treat to use up as all those ripe bananas that I always have lying around. Part of the reason that I have so many banana recipes on this site. The recipe balances the natural sweetness of bananas with a hint of cinnamon, and the addition of chocolate chips creates a rich, indulgent treat. I love to grab a yummy muffin when I’m dashing out the door to work or enjoying as mid-day snack.
Savory Potato Cake Recipe from Mashed Potatoes
I’m doing something a little different with potatoes today: one potato cake recipe from mashed potatoes, filled with ham, cheese, eggs, and pickles … and then topped with peas. Normally, I would whip up some small potato cakes (almost the size of a small pancake) to use up that leftover mashed potatoes, or potatoes that might go bad soon. But this recipe is for a complete meal, all dressed up for the dinner table. You can also use it as a side dish, especially for that Easter ham!
Healthy New England Baked Scrod with Saltines (Recipe)
I recently finished The Evil Inside by Heather Graham. There is one scene where Jenna, the protagonist, orders New England Baked Scrod in a restaurant in Salem, so my culinary dish today features Massachusetts (where I grew up) with this healthy New England Baked Scrod with Saltines. I hope you like my version, which uses mayonnaise and saltines to coat the fish. This dish pairs beautifully with a light, crisp white wine and a side salad, to make the perfectly balanced, healthy meal.
