There are times when all we need is a big bowl of comfort. That is exactly what we’re making here with this ham and cheese pasta bake. I made this ham and cheese pasta the other day and sent it home with my parents. They came back the next day to insist that I put the recipe on the site, they liked it that much.

This hamburger and macaroni dish is one of my mother’s recipes that has been served in our house at least once a month for the last 45 years. We even have a special name for it—HMO (Hamburger Macaroni Onions). I’ve also heard it called “goulash” or “American chop suey” or “Hamburger Noodle Casserole.” My father gets a song in his voice when he announces that we’re having HMO for dinner....
Simple swaps to make this healthy Asian chicken recipe We made some easy swaps to make this Asian cashew chicken healthier and also Paleo + Whole30 friendly. We love re-making takeout food to be healthier, but also still satisfying.

Heinz baked beans recipe So there’s no misunderstanding, let me explain upfront that this recipe is for British style baked beans which comes in a semi-clear tomato sauce and is traditionally served for breakfast. It’s completely different to Southern Baked Beans which is a Southern food staple and comes with a darker, more intense flavoured sweet/savoury sauce....
Southern Baked Beans Southern Baked Beans are like the bolder, brasher big sister of our Aussie baked beans. Whereas our beans are known as a breakfast staple, with its translucent, shiny tomato sauce, the Southern version is a a side dish that’s packed with big, bold southern flavours.

What is Potato Bread? Potato bread is essentially wheat bread with a mashed potato worked into the dough. It has the most wonderful crust. And the light, but firm, structure with generous craggly holes make for the most fantastic toast. (All those nooks and crannies? Perfect butter and jam receptacles.) With all of the artisan breads available at the markets these days it’s a wonder anyone makes their own bread anymore....
The thing is, I actually don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Well, let me qualify, I won’t ever turn down something sweet if it’s placed in front of me. But if I had to choose between a Mars Bar and potato chips, I’d choose chips every time. I’m a savoury gal through and through. However, peanut butter cups are another food group altogether. Is it weird for a Japanese-Australian to have an unhealthy addiction to peanut butter cups?...

I’ve had it in the homes of my mother, grandmothers, aunts and uncles. I’ve also consumed plenty of Reubens at bars and restaurants, where they usually come with a side of onion rings. It’s a simple lunchtime favorite, and I’ve found that it also transitions into the perfect party dip. This dip has all the elements you love in both a Reuben sandwich and a party snack: hot and creamy cheese, a mix of salty and sweet flavors from the corned beef and the Thousand Island dressing, and a crispy topping of toasted rye bread crumbs....

In fact, most aspiring bakers begin their journey with a hand mixer because they don’t require as large of an investment or much real estate in your kitchen. Hand Mixer vs. Stand Mixer Hand mixers are perfect for the occasional baker. If you get really into baking, kneading pillowy brioche or making airy pavlovas on the regular, you may be keen to invest in a stand mixer.

The good news is that I had one of those food epiphanies - soup stock comes from bones? I hadn’t connected the dots before. (So why was mom simmering that turkey carcass? Never bothered to ask.) The bad news is that I hadn’t the faintest idea what I was doing; I dutifully went to my local butcher, begged some beef bones, and boiled them for hours with a rolling boil until the bones were practically disintegrating....

If the root end is clean, there’s no need to cut off the roots. But if there is any residual dirt on the roots, you’ll want to slice off the roots, while leaving the hard root core in place. Slicing Onions Lengthwise vs. Crosswise When a recipe calls for sliced onions, you have a choice of how to slice them—lengthwise or crosswise. If you are cooking the onions, as for caramelizing them, you’ll likely want to slice them lengthwise, or from root to stem....
First, slow your roll Every year in January, gyms are packed, group fitness classes are full, and people are buzzing with that “new-year energy”. Like clockwork, those resolutions fail and things are back to normal in February. So how do you buck that trend? Start slow. Instead of going “all-in” on exercise and burning out after a few “hard-core” sessions, it’s better to start slow. No matter what exercise you choose, don’t go from couch to 60 minutes of exercise without rest your first day....
