Lemonade? But where are the lemons? ??? Well, there aren’t any really, because Brazilian Lemonade is usually made with limes. But then, shouldn’t it be called “limeade”?, you might be asking yourself. I guess it could, but it usually isn’t.

Last week, I was debating which dessert to make for dinner at a friend’s, and though I’m smitten with this recipe for Fresh Apple Cake, it just didn’t feel right. I craved something more decadent (like Flourless Chocolate Torte) but not so rich that guests couldn’t finish their entire piece. My dream dinner party dessert would: Feel special and different, yet comforting and homey. Could be served warm with vanilla ice cream (because aren’t all of the best desserts served warm with vanilla ice cream?...

It can be tough to enjoy fruit on a keto diet, but it’s a relief to know that some options (like raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries) can work with your lifestyle. Kiwi is also classified as a berry — but is kiwi keto friendly like these other fruits? Let’s take a hard look at carbs in kiwi and whether they fit as easily into a ketogenic diet. New to counting carbs or keto?...

We eat them for breakfast or a weekend brunch along with some chutney and sometimes even eat plain with some masala chai. These chana dosas are similar to the south India Adai and pesarattu which are made with green gram or mung beans. Most times I just make a veggie filling and skip making the chutney. I have shared the recipe to make the stuffing as well. The chana dosa batter can be used to make crispy thin dosa or uthappam and are absolutely tasty with wholesome goodness of ghee & vegetables too....

Even the pickiest eaters will love these cheesy Brussels sprouts, caramelized to perfection and topped with spicy chorizo and a whole lot of Manchego cheese. Believe me, those nasty boiled Brussels sprouts that you used to eat as a child have nothing on this unbelievably delicious gourmet side dish! I confess I was never a Brussels sprouts hater. Not a lover either, but nothing against them. That doesn’t mean I’m not a picky eater, cause there are a whole lot of things that I won’t eat....

While I am all for a fresh twist on an old favorite (the curry spices in this Instant Pot Chicken and Rice and the southwest spin on this Mexican Chicken and Rice make these recipes special), sometimes what we need is a dish at its most old-fashioned self. This old fashioned chicken and rice casserole isn’t wild. It won’t blow your mind with never before thought of flavors or tectonic levels of spice....

Casseroles are the best invention for busy people EVER! They are so easy to make and really handy on busy weeknights. Most people eat them as an one-dish meal but, being the good Brazilian that I am, I need some white rice on the side! (I love anything creamy over rice! It’s the perfect combo!) This casserole is very popular in Brazil and it’s called Chicken Fricassée (Fricassée de Frango)....

This rich, thick, and creamy soup with plump rounds of gnocchi, tender chunks of chicken, and a sneaky number of vegetables, is a healthy take on the Olive Garden chicken gnocchi soup that was the pinnacle of my high school dining experience (along with this Broccoli Cheddar Soup that’s reminiscent of Panera’s). When you are 15, does it get much better than soup made with primarily heavy cream and a side of all-you-can-eat breadsticks to go with it?...

Of all the healthy snack recipes I make, energy balls are the ones I come back to most. Between my go-to Oatmeal Energy Balls and specialty flavors (like Pumpkin Energy Balls, Fig Almond Energy Balls, and Ginger Cookie Healthy Energy Balls), I’ve made a small hipster cafe’s worth of energy bites and protein ball recipes over the years. They’re simple to make. Simply pulse in a food processor and roll—it doesn’t get much easier than that!...

The biggest challenge with oven baked bacon-wrapped chicken breast has always been to crisp up the bacon and make it render as much fat as possible. If you’ve tried it, you know it’s practically impossible. The bacon always comes out kinda soft, kinda fatty and chewy. But here is a little trick to fix that problem in a matter of two minute: sear your bacon-wrapped breasts before baking. After some trial and error I ended up using the very same approach I use to make my popular Crispy Oven Roasted Chicken Breast and other recipes....

There is a lot to love about this queso dip recipe. It’s flavorful (so many ways to eat it!), it’s made in the slow cooker, and perhaps best of all? (Naturally keto) Crock Pot queso dip is made with just three (!!) ingredients, which take all of 2 minutes to throw together! It’s the perfect appetizer for game days, potlucks, holiday parties, or — let’s be real — just any simple Taco Tuesday....

This recipe for crockpot mashed potatoes is based on the mashed potatoes my mom makes every Thanksgiving. The ingredients of the original recipe (based off of the Pioneer Woman) are, in my mom’s words, you don’t want to know. Today’s crockpot version is based on my mom’s, in combination with my top-rated, lightened-up Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes. They aren’t healthy per se (because let’s be honest—no one wants healthy mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving), but they are more balanced....

In my case, the “wherever” is Wisconsin, a few thousand miles north of the Florida escape Ben and I originally were slated to take this weekend. Unfortunately, he had to have an unplanned foot surgery, and since neither of us could picture him crutching down the beach, we decided to save our trip for a later date. I originally booked our tickets at 11:45 p.m. from the comfort of my bed....
