You might be surprised by how delicious these cookies taste. I know my expectations weren’t that high, especially after tasting the cookie dough. In fact, the first time I experimented with chickpea flour, I almost threw away the batter before baking it. The dough tastes THAT BAD. (Seriously, never taste a dough made with chickpea flour; the flavor drastically improves with baking.) That’s why I’m so pleasantly surprised by these cookies....
If you’ve been skeptical to try green juice, this green milk is for you. Even though it looks green, it tastes like vanilla almond milk! Green milk is simply a combination of green juice and almond milk. The almond milk adds protein and healthy fats to the mix, making the fat-soluble vitamins in the vegetables more easily absorbed by the body, and it also makes this drink more satiating than a regular green juice....
When I was growing up, half the fun of making cookies from scratch was being able to sneak a taste of the raw cookie dough. I don’t know about you, but in my house you really had to sneak it, because my mom was crazy-paranoid about the risk of salmonella from eating raw eggs. She hated it when my brother and I would eat the raw dough! That’s why I thought it might be fun to make an edible cookie dough recipe that’s designed to be eaten raw....
Fruit compote is an easy fruit topping you can make with just a few ingredients. It tastes like pie filling, and is perfect for serving over yogurt, ice cream, and more. What is compote?

Making compote is actually quite similar to making chia seed jam , but typically compote is a little more chunky in texture....

While writing The Fresh & Healthy Instant Pot Cookbook , I learned a lot about cooking fresh chicken in the electric pressure cooker. If you haven’t tried it yet, chicken can develop a weird, rubbery texture when pressure-cooked. And, unlike oven-baked chicken breasts , which you can check on as you go, the pressure cooker requires an educated guess when it comes to the cooking time. It’s easy to overcook the chicken if you’re not careful, which can result in tough meat....

It might sound far-fetched, but this Instant Pot Vegan Mac n’ Cheese is inspired by Ina Garten’s recipe that I make every year at Thanksgiving. Her recipe is incredibly rich and decadent– hence why we only make it once a year– and it’s also exhausting to prepare because you have to shred over a pound of cheese. What makes her recipe special is her use of gruyere cheese and nutmeg, which provides a subtle nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the salty aged cheese....

We make a lot of date balls around here, so this week I decided to change things up by using pistachios as the base. The flavor is delicious! They are not quite as green in the middle as I hoped, but the pistachio flavor is the star of the show. I decided to take them one step further by adding crispy rice cereal for a little crunch. (This is inspired by the crispy center of a Dubai chocolate bar!...
