Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brewed espresso
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, then set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in the powdered sugar until well combined, then add the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the flour, brewed espresso, and a pinch of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
  7. Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate, allowing the cake to release. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: These lava cakes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain that molten center.

For best results, use a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content. If you prefer a lighter cake, you can substitute some of the chocolate with cocoa powder. Be careful not to overbake the cakes, as this will result in a dry texture rather than the desired molten center.

These lava cakes can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if they go straight from the fridge to the oven. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter until fully mixed.
  3. Press the coconut mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the coconut cream filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until set.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, pineapple juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly, stirring frequently.
  9. Allow the pineapple drizzle to cool before serving over the chilled pie. Drizzle generously and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a unique twist, top the pie with whipped cream and additional toasted coconut before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rum extract to the coconut filling. If you’re short on time, a pre-made graham cracker crust works perfectly in place of the toasted coconut crust.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 3 days. To serve, re-drizzle with fresh pineapple sauce for a vibrant presentation!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup crunchy Asian noodles (like chow mein)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

FOR THE DRESSING

  • 1/4 cup miso paste
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced bell pepper, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the miso paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
  4. Just before serving, add the crunchy Asian noodles and roasted peanuts, mixing gently to combine.
  5. Serve immediately for the best crunch, or refrigerate the slaw (without noodles) until ready to serve.

Notes

Tip: For a vegan version, substitute honey with agave syrup and ensure the soy sauce is gluten-free if needed.

For an extra kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish. This slaw can be made a day ahead; just keep the dressing separate until serving time to maintain the noodles’ crunch.

If you want to switch things up, feel free to substitute the vegetables based on your preferences—add snap peas or radishes for a different flavor profile!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Re-crisp the noodles by toasting them lightly in a pan before serving the next time.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 eggplant, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the herb mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
  4. To assemble the stacks, use a ring mold to layer quinoa at the base, followed by a layer of grilled vegetables. Repeat this process until you reach your desired height, finishing with a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.
  5. Carefully remove the ring mold and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your vibrant Garlic-Herb Infused Grilled Vegetable and Quinoa Stack!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold as a salad!

For the best flavor, marinate your vegetables for a few hours before grilling. This allows the garlic and herbs to penetrate deeply. If you don’t have quinoa, you can substitute with couscous or farro for a different texture.

When stacking, use a ring mold for a more polished look. You can also add a drizzle of balsamic reduction on top for an extra layer of flavor. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for meal prep or potlucks!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together maple syrup, bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and a bit of pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
  5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and sear the thighs skin-side down for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Flip the chicken thighs and pour the remaining marinade over them. Transfer the skillet to the oven alongside the Brussels sprouts.
  7. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
  8. Serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet over the chicken and Brussels sprouts.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

For an extra kick, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the maple-bourbon glaze. To ensure the chicken skin stays crispy, avoid overcrowding the pan while frying. If you have leftovers, store the chicken and Brussels sprouts separately to maintain their textures.

Reheat the chicken in an oven to retain crispiness and serve it with a fresh salad for a delightful meal.
