Traditional French Crêpes

by

Traditional French Crêpes

Thin, soft crêpes with lightly crisp edges. Perfect for both sweet and savory fillings.

📝 Ingredients

  • 250 g plain flour, sifted

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 500 ml whole milk (semi-skimmed also works)

  • 20 g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar (or granulated sugar)

  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 pinch salt

  • Extra butter for greasing the pan

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together:

    • Flour

    • Sugar

    • Salt

  2. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

2️⃣ Add the Wet Ingredients

  1. Crack the eggs into the well.

  2. Begin whisking the eggs, slowly pulling flour from the sides into the center.

  3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

  4. When smooth, whisk in:

    • Melted butter

    • Vanilla extract

The batter should be thin and pourable, similar to heavy cream.

3️⃣ Rest the Batter

  1. Cover the bowl.

  2. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

This resting time improves texture and helps produce tender crêpes.

4️⃣ Prepare the Pan

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat.

  2. Lightly grease with butter and wipe off excess using a paper towel.

The pan should be lightly coated, not oily.

5️⃣ Cook the Crêpes

  1. Pour about ¼ cup batter into the center of the pan.

  2. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly.

  3. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift and the underside is light golden.

  4. Flip carefully and cook the second side for 30–45 seconds until small golden spots appear.

  5. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.

Tropical Green Power Smoothie

by

 

 

Tropical Green Power Smoothie

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)

 

1 large handful fresh baby spinach

 

1 frozen banana (sliced before freezing for a thicker texture)

 

1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks

 

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or silken tofu (optional, for a protein boost)

 

1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, if you want it sweeter)

 

For the Toppings (as seen in the photo)

2-3 slices of fresh banana

 

1 tsp shredded coconut or hemp seeds

 

Instructions

Liquid First: Pour your milk of choice into the blender. Adding liquid first prevents the blades from getting stuck.

 

Add the Greens: Toss in the spinach and blend on high for about 30 seconds until the liquid is bright green and no leaf bits remain.

 

The Frozen Goods: Add the frozen banana and mango/pineapple.

 

Blend: Process until completely smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes.

 

Garnish: Pour into a glass and top with the fresh banana slices and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.

 

A Pro Tip for the Perfect Texture

For that “soft-serve” consistency shown in your image, make sure your banana is fully frozen. A room-temperature banana will make a thinner drink, while a frozen one provides that thick, velvety “smoothie bowl” feel.

Tennessee Peach Pudding

by

Tennessee Peach Pudding is a classic Southern dessert that celebrates the region’s love for ripe, juicy peaches and simple, comforting cooking. Despite its name, it’s closer to a baked cobbler than a creamy pudding. Fresh peaches are usually sliced and layered into a buttered baking dish, then topped with a soft batter made from flour, sugar, milk, and butter. As it bakes, the batter rises around the fruit, creating a golden, cake-like topping with peaches bubbling underneath.

What makes Tennessee Peach Pudding special is its focus on local peaches, especially those harvested at peak ripeness during the summer. The dessert is gently spiced—often with just a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg—so the natural sweetness and flavor of the peaches remain the star. It’s commonly served warm, sometimes with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, making it a favorite at family gatherings, church suppers, and potlucks across Tennessee.

More than just a dessert, Tennessee Peach Pudding reflects Southern hospitality: uncomplicated ingredients, shared at the table, and meant to be enjoyed together.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups sliced peeled peaches fresh or frozen

Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

How To Make Tennessee Peach Pudding

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  3. Add milk and stir until combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the peaches.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  6. For the topping, combine water, sugars, butter, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugars dissolve.
  7. Pour the syrup over the peach batter.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream if desired!

Deviled Ham Salad

by

Let’s face it – the tastiest dishes are not always the prettiest ones and that’s definitely the case with Deviled Ham Salad. It’s a little much to look at but it’s SO good. If you haven’t had it before – just think egg salad or tuna salad, but with ham. See? Not so weird. It’s just chopped ham that’s folded into a creamy and flavorful base that makes for one delicious sweet and savory mixture. It makes an incredible sandwich, but it works just as well as a dip or a cracker spread too. And it’s super easy to make.

 

INGREDIENTS

4 cups diced ham

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Worcestershire

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How to Make Deviled Ham Salad

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

by

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

🛒 Ingredients

1 tube of refrigerated biscuits (the standard size – not Grands)

4 tablespoons butter

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

👩‍🍳 Instructions

For the Biscuit Bites

Prep: In a shallow glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave on reduced power to prevent splattering. In another shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.

Cut: Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut each biscuit into thirds and set pieces on a plate, separating them so they don’t stick together.

Coat: Spray the bottom and the sides of an 8×8 baking dish well with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375°F. Using an assembly line method, dip one biscuit piece in the butter, then coat it with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place it in the prepared dish. Continue the process until all pieces are coated and arranged in the pan.

Bake: Bake biscuit bites for about 15-18 minutes or until deep golden brown on top. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

For the Icing

Stir together confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over baked biscuit bites.

💡 Recipe Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled for larger families or groups by using 2 tubes of biscuits, twice the butter, sugar, and cinnamon, and baking in a 9×13 baking dish.

Bacon & Onion Fried Cabbage

by

🥣 Southern Fried Cabbage with Bacon

The second image looks like a classic fried cabbage and bacon skillet. This is an excellent low-carb, keto-friendly side dish that fits perfectly with the healthy eating habits we’ve been discussing.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, chopped into 1-inch pieces

  • 6 slices of thick-cut bacon, diced

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Crisp the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the diced bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon bits and set aside, but keep the bacon fat in the pan.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the onion to the bacon fat and cook until translucent. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Cook the Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. It will look like a lot, but it will wilt down. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

  4. Simmer: Cover the pan and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and starts to caramelize around the edges.

  5. Finish: Stir the crispy bacon bits back in and serve hot.

🍒 Finishing the Cherry Yogurt Cake

The first image shows the process of pouring the Cherry Yogurt Cake batter we started earlier! To finish that recipe, make sure you follow these specific steps shown in your photo:

  • The Batter: As seen in your image, the batter should be thick and glossy. If it seems too thin, you may need a tablespoon more flour.

  • The Layering: Notice how the cherries are already mixed into the batter in the pouring photo, but the finished cake has them beautifully displayed on top. For that look, fold half the cherries into the batter and scatter the remaining half on top right before it goes into the oven.

  • The Pan: Using a springform pan (as shown) is highly recommended for this cake so you can easily remove it without damaging the fruit on top.

Keto Sugar-Free Condensed Milk

by

Keto Sugar-Free Condensed Milk

This creamy, thick, and versatile condensed milk is perfect for coffee, keto baking, or making sugar-free ice cream.

  • Prep time: 5 minutes

  • Cook time: 30 minutes

  • Yields: Approx. 1.5 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy whipping cream

  • 3 tbsp Butter (softened, unsalted preferred)

  • ¼ cup Powdered Swerve (or preferred powdered erythritol)

  • 1 tbsp Allulose (helps prevent crystallization)

  • ¼ tsp Xanthan gum (thickening agent)

  • ½ tsp Vanilla essence

  • Pinch of salt (optional; omit if using salted butter)

Equipment

  • Non-stick saucepan

  • Rubber or wooden spatula

  • Glass jar (for storage)

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the heavy whipping cream, Allulose, and powdered sweetener.

  2. Dissolve: Stir constantly with your spatula until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

  3. Simmer: Watch for small bubbles to appear around the edges of the pan. Once the mixture reaches a light simmer, immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.

  4. Thicken: Continue to simmer the mixture for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir frequently with your spatula, scraping the sides and bottom to prevent the cream from scorching or forming a skin. The liquid should reduce by about half.

  5. Add Fat and Flavor: Once reduced, stir in the softened butter and vanilla essence. Mix until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.

  6. The Xanthan Finish: Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the surface and whisk or stir vigorously. This will provide that signature “gloopy” condensed milk texture.

  7. Cool and Store: Remove from heat. The mixture will continue to thicken significantly as it cools. Pour it into a glass jar.

  8. Storage: Once it reaches room temperature, seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Quick Tips for Success

  • Avoid Granules: Always use powdered sweetener. Granulated erythritol will become “gritty” once the condensed milk is refrigerated.

  • The “Slow” Method: If you have time, simmering on very low heat for a longer period results in a deeper, more caramelized flavor.

  • Substitution Note: If you do not have xanthan gum, you can use a small amount of cornstarch (though this will slightly increase the carb count).

Flour or Breadcrumbs: 3–4 tablespoons (to help bind everything together)

 

Seasoning: 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp garlic powder

 

Oil: 2 tablespoons (olive or vegetable oil for pan-frying)

 

Instructions

Prepare the Veggies: Grate the potatoes and carrots. Important: Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This ensures your patties stay crispy rather than soggy.

 

Mix: In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, carrots, chopped green onions, eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper.

 

Bind: Sprinkle in the flour or breadcrumbs. Stir until the mixture holds together when you press a spoonful against the side of the bowl.

 

Shape: Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into an oval “log” or a flat round patty.

 

Cook: Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan (don’t crowd them!) and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and the potato is cooked through.

 

Drain: Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.

 

Pro-Tip for Success

If you want these to be extra firm (like the ones in the picture), you can par-boil the whole potatoes for 10 minutes before grating them. This gives them a softer, creamier texture inside while the outside gets that lovely golden crust.

🍓 Strawberry Banana Citrus Smoothie

by

 

 

🍓 Strawberry Banana Citrus Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass

 

Ingredients

1 cup Fresh or frozen strawberries (stemmed)

 

1 medium Banana (sliced; use frozen for a thicker texture)

 

1/2 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1–2 oranges)

 

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)

 

Optional: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.

 

Optional: 3–4 ice cubes (if using fresh fruit).

 

Instructions

Prep the Fruit: Peel the banana and slice it. Wash the strawberries and remove the green leafy tops.

 

Layer the Blender: Add your liquids first (orange juice and milk/yogurt). This helps the blender blades move freely without getting stuck.

 

Add Solids: Toss in the strawberries and banana slices.

 

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy.

 

Serve: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately while cold!

 

Quick Tips for Success

The Texture: If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more orange juice. If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or a few extra ice cubes.

 

Nutrition Boost: You can easily hide a handful of baby spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds in this blend without changing the flavor much.

 

Zest it up: For an extra punch of citrus, grate a tiny bit of orange zest into the blender before mixing.

Morning Glow Juice

by

 

 

Ingredients

3–4 Large Carrots: Peeled and sliced into rounds.

 

2 Green Apples: Cored and cut into wedges (keep the skin on for extra nutrients).

 

1/2 Lemon: Peeled (or juiced separately).

 

1/2 Lime: Peeled (or juiced separately).

 

Optional: A small knob of fresh ginger for an extra kick.

 

Instructions

1. Prep Your Produce

Wash all the fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Slice the carrots and apples into sizes that will easily fit into your juicer’s chute.

 

2. Juice the Ingredients

Feed the carrots, apples, lemon, and lime through your juicer.

 

Pro-Tip: If you are using a high-speed blender instead of a juicer, add 1/2 cup of water, blend until smooth, and then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh nut milk bag or sieve to remove the pulp.

 

3. Stir and Serve

Give the juice a quick stir to combine the flavors. Serve immediately over ice for the best taste and maximum nutrient absorption.

 

Why this works:

Carrots provide a boost of beta-carotene and a natural sweetness.

 

Apples add fiber and balance the earthiness of the carrots.

 

Citrus (Lemon & Lime) adds Vitamin C and brightens the flavor with much-needed acidity.

❓ FAQ

Why chill twice?
The first chill cools the gelatin. The second chill activates the pudding. Adding whipped topping too early will make it melt.

Can I use fresh whipped cream?
Yes, but only fold it in when the base is thick, or it will become runny.

Why did mine turn watery?
The gelatin base was too warm or not thick enough before adding whipped topping.

How long before serving?
Minimum 1–2 hours, best overnight.

🍌 The Ultimate Creamy Banana Smoothie

by

 

 

🍌 The Ultimate Creamy Banana Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1-2

 

Ingredients

To get that frothy texture seen in your photo, using a frozen banana is the secret!

 

1 large banana (peeled and frozen for extra creaminess)

 

1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat work great)

 

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (adds tang and protein)

 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

 

1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on banana ripeness)

 

A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

 

Ice cubes (only if you didn’t use a frozen banana)

 

Instructions

Prep the Banana: For the best results, slice your banana into chunks before freezing. If you’re using a fresh banana, add about 1/2 cup of ice to the blender to get that chilled, thick consistency.

 

Layer the Liquid: Add your milk and yogurt to the blender first. This helps the blades spin freely and prevents the fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.

 

Combine: Add the banana chunks, vanilla, and sweetener.

 

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.

 

Garnish: Pour into a glass and top with fresh banana slices and a light dusting of cinnamon, just like in your image.

 

💡 Pro Tips for Success

The “Spot” Rule: Use bananas that have a few brown spots. They have a much higher sugar content, which means you won’t need to add any extra honey or syrup.

 

Make it Thick: If you want a “smoothie bowl” consistency, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup.

 

Boost It: Feel free to throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter or a handful of spinach (though the color will change to green!).
