Kitchen Sink Cheesecake Cookies
The ingredients list may seem unorthodox but trust me, these cookies are delicious. The marshmallows melt, creating a delightfully gooey texture and caramelized melty goodness oozing from the cookies. Perfect to customize to suit kids' (or adults') preferences! This recipe is quite resilient to substitutions and omissions.
Instant Pot Brown Rice and Mushroom Risotto (Vegan and Gluten-Free)
I never complain about making risotto. In fact, I make it when I want to get something quick on the table. But when I spent over an hour and a half making one with brown rice, I decided to try it out in my Instant Pot. It's awesome!
Light and Creamy Brown Sugar and Chocolate Frosting
A great alternative for greasy frosting. This recipe is really more like whipped cream, but still has that great frosting taste!
