What tomatoes are best for the summer pasta salad? For best results, use vine-ripened, locally grown tomatoes. If you grow tomatoes in your garden, things will be super easy for you. This is the second year I am growing tomatoes in my backyard for salads and sauces and I could not be happier with the results. If not, head to your local fruit and vegetable market and pick some nice tomatoes....
This taco popcorn: Is zippy but not too spicy.Is healthy but leaves you room to add a little butter.Would pair beautifully with a Skinny Margarita.

Aside from keto cheesecake, the number one keto dessert that people ask me for is how to make keto ice cream.

The hamburgers served at White Castle are flavorful and juicy, and the sliders are the perfect size for a quick snack.

But don’t worry too much, because I’ve discovered this copycat recipe that’s as close to the real deal as you can get!...
I was introduced to the magic of homemade Whole30 mayo when I did my first Whole30 round 2 years ago. It was quick and easy and saved my life when I thought I was destined to eat bland food for a month! I’ve now made this mayonnaise so many times I’ve lost count, both on a Whole30 round and off. I probably should have called it “homemade mayonnaise” and left it at that, but I wanted the whole30 compliance to be front and centre for my friends embarking on a round....
Some of these substitutes work better for certain recipes than others. For example, you could turn fresh tomatoes or marinara sauce into yummy pizza sauce. However, you probably won’t want to use ketchup for the same purpose. Additionally, some may need a little tweaking. For example, if you water it down and add herbs, ketchup does make a surprisingly lovely pasta sauce. So try these tomato sauce substitutes the next time you run out of the real stuff....

After all, if you can’t have something sweet for breakfast at Christmas, when can you? Sometimes I wake up early so we can have a batch of spiced gingerbread muffins right out of the oven. Or I take some time on the weekend to make a few different flavors, like hot chocolate or maple and bacon. Muffin freeze very well usually, so make some space and load it up with as many of these sweet treats as you can fit!...
But first, what is a satsuma? Just like tangerines and clementines, satsumas are a variety of mandarin oranges mostly found in Asia. Here in the U.S., they’re grown in California and southeastern states. Satsumas are sweet, juicy, and citrusy. They have loose skin, making them easy to peel. They’re seedless, too, so you can snack on one segment after another without interference. But besides eating them on their own, satsumas also make a fantastic ingredient to a wide array of dishes....

The other is light, refreshing, sometimes bitter/sometimes not, and incredibly delicious! So how does one choose between them?! (Spoiler alert: I don’t! I freely partake in them both!) All jokes aside, though, Italian cocktails are entirely underrated. After all, Italy is the place that brought us the fizzy, fruity bellini and the tart and zesty limoncello. People often associate alcohol with Mexico, Russia, Thailand, and Germany, but when it comes to incredible cocktails, the Italians have it going on!...

In fact, pizza and flatbreads are more or less the same things, with the key difference being in the dough. Where pizza uses yeast for a light and fluffy base, flatbread is typically unleavened and, therefore, flat. Another thing you might notice with these flatbread recipes is that they’re a little fancier than your average slice of pizza. Instead of just mozzarella and tomato sauce, you’ll see everything from pesto and shrimp to goat cheese and Gorgonzola!...
Well, I just played it with a good friend, and it made me realize – there are very few foods that start with the letter I. I started out great with ice cream and icing, but after that, I couldn’t come up with anything… and I lost. I’m a very competitive person, and I have every intention of challenging him for a rematch. But I also made sure I’m prepared for the next round....
