Slow Cooker Tortellini Soup

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 02:02 PM

With crumbled sausage, tomatoes, pillowy cheese tortellini + leafy greens in a velvety, creamy broth. SO GOOD! It has been a very cold winter, and we are in dire need of some cozy, comforting goodness to warm us from the inside out right now. And this set-and-forget slow cooker tortellini soup really has it all – from crumbled Italian sausage to soft, pillowy three-cheese tortellini to sneaked-in leafy greens in the most velvety, creamy, tomato-brothy goodness. And the tortellini cooks oh-so-perfectly rig...

Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:56 PM

Earlier this spring, I made what I thought was just a dinner salad that turned out to be my new favorite dinner salad of all time and it was literally all I could talk about for the next few weeks. Incessantly. Insufferably. I didn’t even wait to ask if you’re into buffalo wings (of course you are), cobb salads (you could be, I can just tell) or looking for a dinner idea. It’s just not who I am. Ingredients: Creamy Dressing 1/2 cup buttermilk, shaken 1/2 cup mayonnaise Juice of half a lemon (abou...

Pineapple Cilantro Serrano Cocktail

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:44 PM

I’m in quite a celebratory mood today. What better way to indulge my whims than with a cold pineapple cocktail! This little number is not for the faint of heart; it’s bold, spicy, sweet and herbal all at once. The sweetness of the pineapple juice and cooling effect of cilantro diffuse the spiciness of the serrano so it doesn’t overwhelm the palate. This cocktail is a treat, so sip slowly and savor it like it costs ten dollars. I originally intended to get fancy and make some more serrano-infus...

Dulce De Leche Tiramisu

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:35 PM

Creamy dulce de leche layered with espresso-soaked ladyfingers in one delightful slice! This Dulce De Leche Tiramisu is my new favorite dessert. There’s nothing that currently tops it. It’s the creamy dulce de leche layer + the espresso-soaked ladyfingers all hugging each other in one creamy, delightful slice. It has my whole heart. In the last two years, I’ve bought an embarrassing number of little individual tiramisu cups from our local “fancy” grocery store. They have a specific variety in their bake...

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:25 PM

With tender shredded chicken and pantry staples! So creamy, so flavorful. Only needs 15 min of cook time! Everyone loves a good chili recipe, one that’s been simmering for hours on end in the slow cooker filling the house with all the best aromatic smells, just in time for game day or shoveling 10 inches of snow in the driveway. But have you tried a white chili instead? A white chili so creamy and dreamy with tender shredded chicken and soaked up white beans just swimming throughout? It’s a thing of beaut...

New York Crumb Cake

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:19 PM

Hasn’t it always been too long since your last slice of profoundly perfect crumb cake? You know, the kind that’s a hefty square with at least as much height from big brown sugar and cinnamon crumbs as from a golden, buttery, sour cream-enriched and vanilla-scented cake? Yes, me too. I’ve tested this New York Crumb Cake so many times, I’m pretty sure there’s not a family member, a teacher in my kids' school, or a friend on a group text chain [“Help, I made more crumb cake and need someone to collect ...

Easy Mint Julep

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:06 PM

When it’s 80 degrees outside, let’s make mint juleps! Mint juleps are refreshing and boozy cocktails traditionally made with fresh mint, bourbon and simple syrup. Mint juleps are for bourbon lovers, which is to say that they’re not for you if you don’t like bourbon. My twist on the classic mint julep recipe? I used real maple syrup instead of simple syrup, which means that you don’t have to melt sugar into water. Maple mint juleps couldn’t be easier to make! Bourbon and maple syrup are a flavor...

Crispy Gochujang Chicken

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 01:02 PM

Crispy crunchy chicken with a gochujang butter sauce! My husband LOVES this (and me too) and we leave some pieces plain for our kids! Everybody wins! Guess what’s for dinner tonight? It starts with crispy chicken and ends with gochujang butter sauce. Wait, no, it ends with yum yum sauce, after the other sauce, because two sauces is better than one. This was a huge win in our house this last month. My kids have a real appreciation of crispy chicken (dipped in ketchup). And my husband and I closed ...

Mango Chutney is the ideal combination of sweet, tangy, and spiced flavors. Make it yourself with fresh fruit, vinegar, and aromatic spices. Chutney is a type of condiment from India that’s similar to a jam or relish recipe. There are many varieties, but Mango Chutney is one of the most popular. It adds a mouthwatering complex flavor to the dishes it’s served with, thanks to the mix of sweet fruit, tangy vinegar, and warm spices. This sweet and spicy condiment is sure to become a favorite.

Simple Eggplant Parmesan

Blossom Lady

Apr 19, 2025 11:50 AM

Despite it being the opposite of eggplant season, I crave eggplant parmesan incessantly each winter. I mean, who doesn’t want an aromatic, cheese-stretchy, cozy casserole of ziti-like flavors, but without the heaviness of the pasta sometimes, right? But I never posted the recipe for it. The truth is that I wasn’t completely comfortable sharing the recipe because it’s not a True eggplant parmesan, or so I believed. It’s not breaded, it’s not fried, and there’s definitely no ricotta. Even the title of the re...
