These pancakes combine buckwheat flour, pumpkin, maple syrup, and a cozy lineup of fall spices. The result is light and fluffy pancakes that, in the words of my neighbor, “taste like pumpkin pie.” (So do these Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes!) The prep here is also outrageously easy even if you haven’t finished your coffee yet, because the batter is made entirely in a blender. A blender is one of my favorite techniques for tender pancakes, especially those that use whole grains (the Every Day Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes in my cookbook and these Oatmeal Pancakes use the same trick)....

The South, but it draws me in every time I visit. Maybe it’s the charming accent? The more relaxed pace of life? The abundance of high-quality fried chicken (try this Air Fryer Fried Chicken Breast for similar vibes), cheese straws, and Sweet Potato Pie? And oh yes, it is Southern cuisine. While I can’t pretend to be an expert at the real deal, I enjoy taking classic Southern dishes like shrimp and grits and adding my own healthy twists and preparation shortcuts to make them attainable for the average home cook....

This healthy chicken and biscuits casserole is so rich and satisfying, Ina Garten and Paula Deen would both approve. (Even though I didn’t make this an easy chicken and biscuits with cream of chicken soup.) My Healthy Chicken Pot Pie and Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie were the inspiration recipes for the creamy chicken-and-biscuits casserole filling. I took a few shortcuts in today’s version (ahem, frozen veggies) to make it even quicker and easier too!...

Then it’s served over a bed of cauliflower rice for a full meal....

Whether by design or default, whenever I attend a backyard barbecue, it always seems to be the men who rush to the grill (fixins for Grilled Pork Chops in tow) and the women who handle the accompanying sides/desserts (ahem, Grilled Corn Salad). Even at home, whenever we grill, Ben insists on being the one to “man” the flame. I rarely disagree, since it’s the one occasion he cooks (unless it’s this Balsamic Glazed Salmon)....

As I was brainstorming recipe ideas for my “French phase” leading up to Bastille Day, I knew one French classic couldn’t be left out: Gougeres, or Gougères if typed the French way, and pronounced goo-zhair. These little airy cheese-filled pastry bites make the perfect hors d’oeuvres for a wine tasting party but also, because they are so easy to make, a great and tasty “anytime” snack. And, even though they take less than one hour to prep and bake, they also freeze (unbaked) incredibly well....

We all love a good burger and this Grilled Chicken Burger does not disappoint! Call me crazy but I actually prefer chicken burgers to beef burgers. I like that they are a little healthier and lighter, and this Grilled Chicken Burger is packed with flavour. I make these burgers almost every week, usually using whole30 mayo with a side of crispy baked potato wedges. If you’re an Aussie, this burger is my copycat version of the Grill’d Sweet Chilli Chicken Burger, minus the tomato relish....

A quick bread recipe (meaning not a yeast bread) made with flour, buttermilk, and (depending upon who you ask), currants and/or caraway seeds, it’s ideal for toasting, smearing with jam (or Slow Cooker Apple Butter), and dunking in a big bowl of Instant Pot Beef Stew. Irish soda bread tastes mild and lightly buttery, similar to a fluffy biscuit (like these Drop Biscuits) or Savory Scones with Bacon Cheddar and Chive....
