What’s more, there is no sheet pan or baking dish to wash....

Published Aug 28, 2017 Updated Sep 10, 2024 I love zucchini and I have wanted to make zucchini fritters for a while. I am glad that I finally did as they are so delicious and crispy. Every bite reveals the perfectly cooked zucchini strips which still retain a nice crunch, and the Thai sweet chili sauce completes the flavor. My zucchini fritters recipe is different from others. Firstly, I do not recommend grating the zucchini because grating kills the perfect and crunchy texture of the zucchini, rending them into a mushy, watery mess....

Published Aug 14, 2021 Updated Nov 03, 2024 But trust me, wrapping these little parcels of goodness, seeing them turn golden brown and crispy, and enjoying the satisfying crunch as you bite into them make the entire process worthwhile.

They are served as appetizers with a side of pinkish-red Chinese sweet and sour sauce for dipping....

And this Gluten-Free Apple Pie recipe is truly the best we’ve ever tasted.

Grilled Artichokes with Creamy Lemon Dip Grilled Artichokes are one of my very favorite appetizers right now. They also work great as a side dish when we are grilling our favorite marinated chicken or steak. I’m crazy about these tender vegetables, charred slightly, crisped to perfection, then dipped in creamy, tangy, cool mayo dip. On hot summer evenings, my family will grill a few artichoke halves and eat them right off the grill around the kitchen island for dinner!...

Published Jul 09, 2014 Updated Sep 24, 2024 I don’t usually have the urge to bake something, because I am not big in baking. However, when I spotted Lauren’s Latest Hasselback Cheesy Garlic Bread on Pinterest (please follow my boards), I immediately saved the recipe. The next day, I went to the market and got all the ingredients and made these most amazing, cheesy, garlicky, and yummy garlic cheesy bread....

Fall is here, and that means it’s officially the time of year to celebrate the Jewish New Year — also known as Rosh Hashanah.

My homemade Welsh cakes are so tender and buttery they practically melt in your mouth. They’re almost scone-like in texture, but their flavor comes alive thanks to warm nutmeg and cinnamon and sweet currants....

Published Jul 10, 2019 Updated Oct 03, 2024 The Best Brussels Sprouts I love that brussels sprouts are so easy to make with just the simplest ingredients, such as this Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts.

The sweetness of the honey balances off the tartness of the vinegar....
