This post is sponsored by Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. Sometimes, when you’re old(er), you suddenly notice traits about yourself that you had never realized were there. I’ve recently made peace with the fact that I am a predictable gal! For example, I host Thanksgiving every year. My guests can expect a Pinterest-worthy table, my Roasted Turkey with Herb Butter and my Baked Brie. Religiously, every single year! For Christmas, though, it’s roast beef time....

This chicken leg quarters recipe is by far one of the tastiest chicken recipes. There is a lot of flavor coming from the rub alone, but pan-searing, followed by oven-roasting, adds a ton of extra flavor. That beautifully caramelized skin is just so tasty. With most of the fat rendered out, it turns thin and crispy in the oven. You can’t have enough of this chicken. This recipe is a sibling of my popular Crispy Oven Roasted Chicken Breast recipe with a modified seasoning mix....

A rich, hearty slow cooker soup made with ground meat (I used turkey to lighten it up, though you can certainly stick with tradition and use lean ground beef instead), kid-friendly vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas, and a few subtle but substantial flavor-boosters, this recipe is a happy meeting ground where both little ones and grownups will find solace and satisfaction. Crock Pot Hamburger Soup: Kid Appeal The flavor is mild without being bland....

When viewed objectively, crock pot turkey meatballs are not particularly romantic. They are messy. They are saucy. They are rarely pretty, and they certainly are not to be eaten in white pants. Yet, there is something about slow cooked turkey meatballs that will always remind me of love. Perhaps it is because each meatball is formed individually with care. Perhaps it is because the best, most tender meatballs require the gentlest touch to scoop and shape....

It’s wonderfully chocolatey, chock full of crunchy nuts, and totally irresistible. Sounds like heaven to me! This Crockpot candy recipe takes just five minutes to prep, and the slow cooker takes care of the rest. Once it’s ready, you’ll have a hard time waiting for it to cool. One slow cooker recipe makes plenty – about 25 to 40 pieces – so it can easily feed a crowd. And it makes fantastic gifts too....

I’m not sure who told Mr. Monday about my Friday night bar bill or showed him the recycling bin after Saturday’s party at the lake, OR how he found out about Sunday night’s barbecue bonanza (for the record, the Crockpot Ribs were suburb). Somehow, Monday has a way of cajoling me into atoning for my weekend excesses. It’s as if the “M” on my calendar stands for “Make Amends.” On Mondays, I drink and Cleansing Apple Avocado Smoothie and begin to restore the equilibrium of my digestive system....

Can you believe it’s Easter time already? ? Time to gather the loved ones to eat delicious food and celebrate little traditions! Oh, I’m sure you’ve already noticed that I’m a sucker for traditions. Especially the ones that involve food! ??? One of my favorite Easter traditions – along with oversized chocolate eggs – is the Easter Dove Bread, or Colomba Pasquale as they call in Italy. Like the Panettone, this sweet bread is really popular in Brazil, because of our strong Italian heritage, and my family always gobbles a few of these for Páscoa (Easter in Portuguese)....

Crab cakes started as a staple dish in Maryland and Virginia but have become famous all over the United States. This family favorite is loaded with sweet and tender crab meat, Old Bay Seasoning, and breadcrumbs. Whether they’re fried, baked, broiled, or grilled, the end product is a soft and flaky cake that is absolutely to die for. I used to think crab cakes were super fancy and hard to make....

I love this Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms recipe. It’s the ultimate healthy dinner that manages to be hearty at the same time. And bonus, these sausage stuffed portobello mushrooms are naturally low carb, keto, and gluten free. I love when that happens. Sometimes recipes need a few (or a lot!) of tweaks to turn them into low carb and keto favorites. But other times, the tweaks are minimal and easy sausage stuffed mushrooms are just that....

I’ll also cover all of the burning questions around low carb yogurt: Is yogurt keto?...

Yuletide season is here, and so is eggnog. If you love the flavor of this creamy spiced drink, why not turn it into a morning meal? These pancakes are just as tall and airy as any, but with a special Christmas twist. Rich, fluffy, and delicious, they’ll definitely bring joy to your world. Eggnog Pancakes Pancakes are typically made with milk, but with this recipe, you’ll get a fun holiday twist....

Your feijoada party won’t be complete without a side of my Brazilian Collard Greens, my Brazilian Salsa and my Brazilian Rice, so make sure to grab those recipes as well. A hearty black bean stew that will warm your soul! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten requests for a feijoada recipe here on the blog. And I can’t blame you! How could one pretend to be an expert in Brazilian cuisine and not have feijoada on her site?...

Fried egg sandwich is a kind of sandwich in which fried eggs are placed in between the toasted bread slices along with veggies and your favorite spread. You can use any spread like mayonnaise or cheese spread or even Greek yogurt. To keep the recipe simple, I haven’t used any cheese. You may place some cheese slices over the eggs when you fry them in the pan. Here I have toasted the bread in a pan....

What is fruit custard? Fruit custard is a dessert made by mixing chopped seasonal fruits with chilled cusard sauce. Custard is a saucy dish that was traditionally prepared with cream, milk and eggs. Today one can find so many ways of making a custard. The simplest way is to use a store bought custard powder like I have done for this post. I have used a eggless custard powder that has no artificial colors and flavors....

This grilled eggplant recipe transforms a simple, unassuming vegetable into a savory, satisfying, and easy healthy side dish! My recipes for oven roasted eggplant and sauteed eggplant are some of the most popular veggie dishes on Wholesome Yum, but let’s face it: Sometimes you want a summer meal without using the stove or oven on a hot day. So for thos edays, let me show you how to grill eggplant… Grilling eggplant makes it deliciously caramelized on the edges and soft in the middle....

I want the extra-large Grilled Sweet Potato Fries order. And I don’t want to share. I know it’s hypocritical. I’m THAT girl at dinner who will happily mooch your fries (I promise I only want a few!), but when a healthy version of sweet potato fries is on the table, I can’t help but want every last delicious wedge all to myself. Fortunately, with this easy method to make Grilled Sweet Potato Fries at home, everyone can munch barbecued sweet potato slices to his or her heart’s content....

When you can’t decide between a chicken dinner or beef dinner, this healthy veal scallopini recipe is a great one to try! While veal is definitely beef, this dish has elements of both. Veal piccata is made with thinly sliced veal cutlets that are coated with a creamy caper and wine sauce. It’s as delicious as it sounds. The flavors are bright from the white wine and lemon, yet creamy from the butter....

Between the moist and fudgy chocolate cake infused with milk and caramel, the billowy whipped cream, and crunchy Heath bits, this is decadence galore! The combination of moist and gooey textures and sweet and salty flavors is absolute heaven. Just do yourself a favor and ignore the calorie count. After all, you deserve to indulge once in a while!
