FavoritePinShare Hi Recipe Critic readers!!!! How’s it going? It’s Jenn, from Eat Cake For Dinner, back to share one of my favorite side dishes with you. Did you know that I am a huge vegetable lover? I love roasting a bunch in the oven and enjoying them for dinner and then for lunch the next day. I always use red potatoes and baby carrots to save on time, because you don’t have to peel them....

Next time you’ve got a pizza craving (weekly for anyone else?!), you’ve got to give this keto chaffle pizza recipe a try! It’s similar to my cheese crust pizza, yet has all the extra crunch from cooking in a waffle maker. While some chaffles taste eggy, I’ve perfected a version that has a texture more like a crisp waffle. This pizza chaffle is seasoned with Italian seasoning and then topped with pizza toppings for a quick version of a keto pizza....

The crust for these bars is a simple mixture of graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter....

Lemon and butter work so well with fish, and if you love the flavors of this baked cod recipe with lemon butter, try the same combo in pan fried tilapia, pan seared halibut, or baked salmon....

As I made another batch of my favorite low carb keto ranch dressing this past weekend, I noticed that somehow I missed Wholesome Yum’s blog-iversary recently! No idea how that happened. Wholesome Yum started as an innocent little hobby just two years ago, and now… well, here we are. It has transformed into a real business that I absolutely love. Keto Ranch Dressing for My Blog-iversary You guys, I’m still totally floored by all your support....

BBQ season is not the same without food on skewers, is it? Beef, chicken, pork and even cheese. They are all more fun to eat when they come on a stick! This post is sponsored by Colman’s. All opinions are my own. Grilling season is here (well, it’s been here for a while now, but just go with the flow, will ya? 😂 ) and we recently got a fancy new gas grill!...

That has to be a world record, am I right? Seriously though, if you’re looking for a quicker approach to chili-making, you have just found it. This recipe is ideal for all you busy moms and dads, out there. Also, don’t worry – just because it’s done in under 30 minutes doesn’t mean it’s not flavorful. This chili has exactly the same amazing flavors and textures that you’d get from a slow-cooked chili....

Almost every night I get a craving for something sweet after dinner. I generally try and chase these cravings away by eating a piece of fruit, but some nights a plain apple just isn’t going to cut it! And that’s where these Mini Apple Crisps come in. This is my go-to emergency healthy dessert recipe. I love that it’s so quick and easy to put together, with minimal hands-on time....

This mint chocolate chip cookie recipe tested my perseverance in the kitchen. It took me four tries to get right, but it was worth every single one of them. Lightly golden edges and thick, soft, and chewy centers give them the ideal cookie texture (like these Brownie Cookies).They contain so many green mint chips and dark chocolate chips that the dough can barely hold them together—like my favorite Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies, that’s mind kind of ratio....

FavoritePinShare A few years ago, I was apart of a girl’s camp for our youth group. One of my friends that came a long, brought these delicious mint cookies. They were the HIT of the camp that year and all everyone talked about. As soon as I got home from the camp, I had to get the recipe and make them for my family. They were so delicious especially with the mint sandwich square melted on top....

FavoritePinShare These peanut butter Monster Cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, and soft and chewy in the center. They are loaded with oats, peanut butter, M&M candies and chocolate chips and they’re completely addicting! These Monster cookies are like the beautiful step-child of a chewy oatmeal cookie, and a soft peanut butter cookie. Throw in some chocolate chips and m&m’s and you’ll see that they are cookie heaven! We usually reserve baking for the weekends, or a lazy Sunday afternoon!...

Couscous is a healthy, versatile side that you can serve with anything from Roasted Broccolini to Grilled Cod or Chicken Kabobs. This classic Moroccan-style couscous recipe cooks in 15 minutes (this Roasted Vegetable Salad is another quick couscous recipe).A few simple touches, like subtle spices, golden raisins, and pine nuts, make it taste special enough to serve at a holiday meal. One of my most vivid post-college memories is of a friend cooking a Moroccan-themed dinner for a big group....

With the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, this cranberry sauce is absolutely the best. It might not be the main attraction at a lunch or dinner table, but it’ll definitely brighten up any meal. You’ll always want this cranberry sauce around from here on out. Not only is it an excellent accompaniment to Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas ham, but other meat entrees, too. You can even use it on salads and cakes, as well!...

Although you can find citrus year round, it’s at its prime in January and February. Isn’t it marvelous that at the time when your soul most needs an orange muffin (ahem, now), oranges are also at their peak? Yesterday morning as I was contemplating the great mystery of why the first settlers to Wisconsin decided to stick around the frozen tundra instead of rolling on west to California, I remembered the pair of orange muffins I had stowed away in our freezer....
