Make a loaf of Date Nut Bread (using pecans or walnuts) to enjoy for breakfast or a snack! It's easy to make, and tastes delicious!

Today I want to share a recipe for date nut loaf bread that I received as part of a treasured gift from a dear friend of over 50 years. Here’s the quick backstory.

Our friend Jon’s wife Debi very unexpectedly passed away two years ago, and we were deeply saddened. The cookbook I got this recipe from was a favorite of hers, because it featured the recipes and artwork of renowned author and illustrator Tasha Tudor.

We love corgis so much (our corgi Cooper passed away a year ago very unexpectedly), and Tasha Tudor was wildly famous for her artwork featuring these adorable little dogs. Our friend Debi knew how much we LOVE corgis and always enjoyed our little Cooper whenever she was at our house.

When Debi passed away, Jon gave me her beautiful cookbook and said Debbie would want me to have it, so it is very special to me. That is how I discovered this delicious recipe for date nut bread. I share it today in her memory and in honor of our lifelong friends Jon and Debi. Here’s how to make it.

Make The Batter

Place chopped dates and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over them and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Let this date/sugar/water mixture sit until it has cooled (about 6-7 minutes). Don’t skip this step, because the boiling water softens and reconstitutes (or plumps up) the dried dates.

Chopped dates and granulated sugar are placed in a large bowl.Boiling water is added to chopped dates and sugar to rehydrate the dates.

Once the date mixture has cooled, add the remaining ingredients (butter, egg, baking soda, flour, salt and chopped nuts) to the bowl.

Stir well until they’re fully combined. The batter will be fairly thick in texture, and is now ready to be turned into a delicious loaf of date nut bread!

Flour, butter, egg, nuts, baking soda and salt are added to the date mixture.After stirring to combine, the batter for the date nut bread is ready.

Bake The Date Nut Bread

Generously grease (or spray) the bottom and sides of a 8½” x 4½” loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake at 350°F. for 45-50 minutes (check it at 45 minutes). Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick down into the top of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out free of batter, the bread is done.*Making small mini loaves? They should be done around the 35-40 minute mark.

When done, the date nut bread should be browned on top, as well. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes before removing the bread from the pan.

Date nut bread batter is spread evenly in a greased large loaf pan.Bread rests in pan for 10 minutes after being baked.

Time To Enjoy A Slice Of This Delicious Bread

Run a butter knife around the edges of the loaf, and then invert the pan (turn it upside down) to release the loaf from the pan. Place the bread on a wire rack to continue cooling.

Loaf of date nut bread cools on a wire rack after it's removed from pan.

Once the loaf has cooled (enough to be only slightly warm), slice and serve it! We typically get 10 slices out of a large loaf of date nut bread.

Serve the bread as is, or add a little bit of softened butter to a slice of the warm bread. YUM! The sweetness from the dates and the pecans (or walnuts) combine to make this a great tasting treat for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

I hope you have the opportunity to try this recipe for date nut bread, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. This bread freezes well, so maybe make a second loaf for another time. I don’t think you’ll regret it, because it is so good!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you… and have a GREAT day!

Make a delicious Easy Corn Soufflé (under 5 minutes prep) using common ingredients! All you do is mix and bake this simple veggie dish.
Make a delicious Easy Corn Soufflé (under 5 minutes prep) using common ingredients! All you do is mix and bake this simple veggie dish.

If you’re looking for a simple to prepare veggie dish, may I suggest this recipe for an Easy Corn Soufflé? The word soufflé makes it sound so complex and challenging, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!

I found this recipe MANY years ago in one of my old cookbooks, and discovered it is ridiculously EASY! Basically you combine the ingredients and bake… that’s it!

The main ingredient is a can of creamed corn. Yep- one can. Butter, flour, eggs, milk, cream (or half and half), salt and pepper are then added, which combine to give this dish some “rise” (like a soufflé) in the baking dish. It’s easy, it’s yummy, and here’s how to make it.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Corn Batter

TIP: Before making the batter, be sure to preheat your oven to 350°F. It only takes a few minutes to make the batter, so you want your oven preheated to save yourself some time.

Place two eggs in a large mixing bowl, and use an electric mixer until they’re well-beaten and fluffy. If you don’t have access to an electric mixer, beat them very well using a fork.

Add flour, milk, cream (or half and half), salt, pepper, melted butter and one can of creamed corn. Stir this well, until all ingredients have been incorporated and fully combined. Now you’re ready to bake… see how easy this is?

Two eggs are beaten well until fluffy in a large bowl.Creamed corn and other dry ingredients are added to the beaten eggs.

Bake The Easy Corn Soufflé

Grease or spray a 9″ square baking pan or a 2 quart casserole dish. Pour the batter for the soufflé into the prepared dish.

Bake it at 350°F. for 42-45 minutes (on a middle rack) OR until it pulls away from the edges of the baking dish.

It should also be lightly golden brown on the surface and slightly puffed up with air. You will want to serve this dish immediately, because it will “deflate” slightly as it cools.

Batter is poured into a baking dish and is ready for the oven.The soufflé is lightly browned and puffed after baking.

Serve The Easy Corn Soufflé

Use a spoon or spatula to serve this dish while it is still hot. Once you remove a serving, you will be able to see the fluffy texture and golden corn inside the soufflé.

Depending on the size of the serving you choose, you should be able to get either 6 small portions or 4 large portions from this dish.

The baked, easy corn soufflé is ready to be served.A serving portion has been removed, revealing the corn inside.

The first time I made this dish I wasn’t confident we would enjoy it, however my husband and I were pleasantly surprised with the texture AND flavor of this veggie dish.

It is such an easy recipe to make (prep time is only 2-3 minutes), so it is a good recipe to have on hand for an easy to make, veggie side dish.

I hope you have the chance to try this yummy side dish. It’s so simple, yet tastes great alongside most meat dishes, which is a big plus, too!

Thank you for stopping by today, and I invite you back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you… and have a GREAT day!

Lentil Potato Soup is a hearty and filling meatless soup that serves 6 and is easy to make. It’s also budget friendly and tastes delicious!
Lentil Potato Soup is a hearty and filling meatless soup that serves 6 and is easy to make. It's also budget friendly and tastes delicious!

Today I want to share a delicious recipe for a meatless soup that tastes great, and is really simple to prepare.  Even though I am not a vegetarian, my husband and I often enjoy meatless meals.

I’m always on the lookout for meatless recipes, especially because one of our sons (and his girlfriend) are vegetarians. This recipe for lentil potato soup is a yummy recipe I’m positive they will enjoy!

Even if you are NOT a vegetarian, I’m confident you are going to enjoy this delicious meatless soup, full of protein and fiber! 

Lentils are such a wonderful source of protein and prebiotic fiber, and are low in fat, too! These wonderful legumes are available in grocery stores everywhere (found with the dried beans). Lentils are also quite inexpensive and are a great item for the pantry, because of their long shelf life.

The addition of potatoes, carrots, onion, tomato sauce, garlic, celery and spices give this soup great flavor, as well. You’ll also love how simple it is to make, which is an added bonus! Here’s how to make lentil potato soup.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

A Word About The Lentils

For this recipe I used a combination of three types of lentils I already had in our pantry: red lentils, green lentils and brown lentils. If you only have ONE type of lentils to use (preferably brown, black, or green) that will still be absolutely delicious, as well.

I don’t recommend using all red lentils because they can become soft and “mushy” when cooked for a long time, more so than the other three varieties.

Before beginning to cook this soup, rinse the raw, dried lentils and drain them very well. Repeat this 2-3 times, then set the rinsed and dried lentils aside, to be added later to the soup.

Lentils (red, green and brown) are rinsed and drained, then set aside in bowl.

How To Make The Soup

Now it’s time to prepare the soup. In a large cooking pot (or Dutch oven), heat vegetable oil on medium heat. Stir in diced onion, and cook this for about 1 minute, stirring often.

Add diced carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot, and stir to combine. Continue to cook the veggies for 3 minutes, stirring often, so the garlic doesn’t burn and become bitter.

Diced onions are cooked in oil in a large soup pot.Diced carrots, celery and minced garlic are added to the pan and cooked.

Add the drained lentils, tomato paste and tomato sauce to the pot. Stir well, to combine these ingredients. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute, stirring often.

Lentils, tomato paste and tomato sauce are added to the soup pot.

Add The Potatoes And Spices

Stir in 4 cups of water (or chicken broth) into the veggies, then add the potato chunks. The potatoes can either be peeled or not, depending on your personal preference. We leave them on (after washing them well).

I also use a combination of russet potatoes, red potatoes and a couple yukon gold potatoes. You can use only one kind of potato if that’s what you have, just be sure to use ¾ pound total of bite-sized potato pieces.

Stir in salt, pepper, dried thyme and oregano until they’re incorporated into the soup.

Water and bite-sized potatoes are added to the soup pot.Salt, pepper, oregano and thyme are stirred into the lentil potato soup.

Time To Cook The Soup

Put a lid on the soup pot and let the soup come to a boil. Turn the heat down to Medium-Low. Continue cooking the soup (covered) on a low simmer for between 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Take a taste. The lentil potato soup is done cooking when the lentils AND the potato chunks are soft and tender. Season the soup to taste with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

The lentil potato soup is fairly thick in density. If you want it to be more “soupy” in texture, stir in a bit more water (about ½ -1 cup), and make sure the soup is heated through before serving. 

A pot of lentil potato soup is ready to serve, after cooking for 35 minutes.

Serve The Lentil Potato Soup

Ladle the hot lentil potato soup into serving bowls, and serve this dish hot! We enjoyed the soup with a slice of homemade garlic butter naan bread on the side!

The naan was perfect for this thick soup and we enjoyed dipping pieces of it into the soup and scooping up lentils and veggies. YUM!

I hope you have the opportunity to try this delicious, meatless soup, and trust you will enjoy it as much as we do. It is a filling, hearty soup I am confident you’re going to like!

Make Easy Homemade Chocolate Syrup in 5 minutes, with 4 common ingredients! Use it for chocolate milk, desserts, etc.
Make Easy Homemade Chocolate Syrup in 5 minutes, with 4 common ingredients! Use for chocolate milk, desserts, etc.

Did you know it is really EASY to make your own chocolate syrup at home with only a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen?

That’s right! This recipe for easy homemade chocolate syrup can be made in about 5 minutes or less, and it truly is simple to prepare. Save a trip to the grocery store (and a little bit more of your own money) by making it yourself.

I’ve made this syrup many times over the years, and decided to finally share the simple recipe on my blog. I scribbled the recipe down at least 15 years ago on a little piece of paper, but never noted the original source, so I can’t give credit where credit is due.

Here’s how to make delicious easy homemade chocolate syrup. I think you’re going to like it!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

What Ingredients Do I Need To Make This?

The ingredient list for the homemade chocolate syrup is quite simple. You will need granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and boiling water. That’s it!

Cocoa powder, vanilla, sugar (and water) are the ingredients for chocolate syrup.

Let’s Make Chocolate Syrup!

Measure 2 cups of sugar, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, and 1 cup of boiling water in a medium-sized saucepan. Whisk or stir these ingredients well. The boiling water helps the ingredients blend together.

Bring them to a boil on Medium-Low heat, and then once it’s boiling, continue to boil the syrup for 2 minutes, whisking often.

Chocolate syrup ingredients are combined in a medium saucepan.A whisk is used to combine the homemade chocolate syrup ingredients.

IMPORTANT: Do not step away from the stove while the syrup is boiling! When the easy homemade chocolate syrup boils, it will rise in the saucepan (which is why you need to use a MEDIUM-sized saucepan versus a small pan).

Continue to whisk or stir to keep the bubbling down in the pan. If necessary, lift the pan off the heat for a second until the liquid and bubbles go back down, then put right back on the heat!

The chocolate syrup is boiled for two minutes, stirring constantly.As the syrup boils, it rises in the pan, so it is stirred constantly.

After the homemade chocolate syrup has boiled for 2 minutes, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and then set the pan aside to allow the syrup time to completely cool.

You can see in the photo below how far up the sides of the pan the syrup rose while boiling. That is why you have to stay right there stirring while it is boiling (unless you want a boil-over and a big mess!).

Chocolate syrup is removed from heat when done, and vanilla is added.

Transfer The Syrup To An Airtight Container

After the homemade chocolate syrup has completely cooled, it is time to transfer it to a bottle or other airtight container. The total amount of syrup should measure about 2 cups.

The recipe for easy homemade chocolate syrup yield about 2 cups total.

Use a funnel to pour the syrup into an airtight container. I use a leftover name-brand chocolate syrup bottle I saved a while ago for this very purpose! Label the container and store the chocolate syrup in the refrigerator.

Chocolate syrup is poured into a re-used syrup container for storage.

Enjoy Using The Easy Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Easy homemade chocolate syrup can be used to make classic chocolate milk or hot chocolate. It can also be used as a dessert topping, by drizzling it over ice cream or other decadent desserts.

I think you’ll be surprised how good it really is, and it’s very convenient to make it from the comfort of home using only a few common pantry ingredients!

I hope you have the opportunity to make this delicious chocolate syrup, and trust you’ll enjoy it, too! It’s a quick, easy and delicious alternative to store bought chocolate syrup!

When I was growing up, my Mom would often bake cookies for our family. Most of the time she made chocolate chip, oatmeal, and peanut butter cookies. They were family favorites, and I loved them all!

It dawned on me recently that I’ve posted recipes for oatmeal raisin cookies, and Mom’s chocolate chip cookies, but never a recipe for good ol’ classic peanut butter cookies using my Mom’s old recipe.

In the past I’ve posted a recipe for  Flourless, 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies to my blog but never added one for traditional, easy to make peanut butter cookies the way my Mom made them. So today is the day!

Here’s how to make classic peanut butter cookies in under 30 minutes… they’re slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they taste GREAT!

Make The Cookie Dough

To make the cookie dough, place creamy peanut butter, vegetable shortening, brown sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. 

Beat these ingredients together using an electric mixer (or a stand mixer) until they are fully combined and smooth in texture. Add one large egg to the dough, and beat well, until it has been fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, stir together all purpose flour, salt and baking powder until combined. Add these dry ingredients to the cookie dough batter, a little at a time, mixing well after each addition.

When fully combined, you will have peanut butter cookie dough. Ta Da! The dough will be fairly thick. Now you’re ready to shape the dough for the cookies!

Flour, salt and baking powder are combined then added to cookie dough.

Roll The Cookie Dough

Use a spoon or a small dough scoop (as shown in the photo below) to place a small amount of dough onto your hand. Roll the dough between the palms of your hands until it becomes a smooth ball, about 1″ in size.

If you make the dough balls 1″, you will end up with approximately 3 dozen cookies. This dough is very forgiving, so if necessary, pinch off some, or add more dough to adjust the size of the cookie dough balls and then re-roll.

Place the balls of dough on ungreased cookie sheets, making sure they are spaced about 2″ apart from each other. This helps the cookies to not “smash into each other” while baking.

Bake The Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Bake the classic peanut butter cookies at 375°F. for 7-8 minutes. When done, the cookies should be golden brown around the edges, and fairly soft in the middle (they will firm up more as they cool).

Let the cookies cool (still on the baking sheet) for about 2 minutes, then carefully transfer them with a spatula from the cookie sheet onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Who Wants A Cookie?

Once the classic peanut butter cookies have cooled completely, they are ready to be served and enjoyed! The outside is slightly crisp, and the cookies are nice and soft inside.

Grab a glass of milk (or a mug of coffee or tea), sit back, and gobble up these absolutely delicious cookies! They are really tasty, and I am confident you’re going to like them.

You can also freeze these cookies (to save some for another day) by wrapping them very well and storing them in the freezer in an airtight container. When you’re ready to gobble up more cookies, simply thaw them and go for it!

I hope you have the opportunity to make these yummy cookies for yourself and for those you love. They really have great flavor, and truly are super easy to make!

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stop by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you… and have a GREAT day!

Honey Almond Iced Latte

Craving a Honey Almond Iced Latte? No problem! Make 2 servings to refrigerate and enjoy whenever you want one! Recipe is easy and delicious! Today I want to share a recipe for an ice cold latte you can pre-mix and keep on hand in the refrigerator! You know those times when you’re too busy working from home or facing loads of laundry and other chores, but don’t want to go out and BUY ONE?

This is for THAT moment. Pre-mix a couple (or more) honey almond lattes, and store them (without ice) in the refrigerator. It’s a great money-saving option for a cold beverage I like to have around!

As I was writing this, I remembered I had some in our refrigerator, so I ran downstairs, made one quickly and sipped on it while working on this blog post. Truth!

All you need to do when you want a honey almond iced latte is add crushed ice to a cup, pour the latte “mix” in, and top with whipped cream and cinnamon (optional, but oh so good)! Here’s how to make it.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Latte “Mix”

This recipe makes TWO servings, but can be easily increased to make as many as you wish. For every two servings, you will need a 16 ounce, pint sized container or canning jar (with a lid).

Brew 1 cup of very strong coffee OR espresso (if you have access to espresso). Pour the hot coffee into a pint jar (or other airtight container).

Immediately stir 2½ Tablespoons of raw honey into the hot coffee. Continue stirring until the honey has melted and been blended into the hot coffee.

Very strong brewed hot coffee is added to a pint sized canning jar.Honey is stirred into the strong, hot coffee until it has dissolved.

Add ¾ cup of unsweetened plain almond milk and stir well, to combine. The liquid in the pint jar should almost reach the very top.

Almond milk is added and stirred into the coffee mixture.

Time For The Refrigerator!

Top the jar with a flat lid, then screw on the band. Label the jar and place it in the refrigerator to chill for up to 2-3 days.

I like to make mine this way, because I don’t like it when cups of crushed ice get watered down by slightly warm coffee. UGH. This way the latte “mix” is very cold and ready to use whenever I want it!

Mixture for a honey almond iced latte is jarred and refrigerated until needed.

Make A Honey Almond Iced Latte

When you are ready to enjoy a nice cold latte, fill a glass with crushed ice. Pour HALF of the jarred latte liquid over the ice.

Adding a topping to the iced drink is optional, of course, but I highly recommend it for BEST FLAVOR! I love the taste Saigon cinnamon adds to this latte, but regular ground cinnamon can be used, as well.

Spray a small amount of whipped cream on top of the drink, then lightly sprinkle with the ground cinnamon. That’s it! All that is left to do is sip and enjoy your delicious honey almond iced latte!

I hope you try this low calorie honey almond iced latte and find it convenient to have in your refrigerator when the craving for one hits!

I think they’re really good and find that keeping the latte mixture on hand in the refrigerator is an “easy go-to” for a quick iced coffee fix in the middle of the day.

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more yummy recipes! Take care, may God bless you, and have a GREAT day!

Make delicious Classic 5 Cup Salad in a few minutes then refrigerate overnight! This cold, sweet salad only has 5 ingredients (1 cup each)!

I grew up eating this salad often whenever my mom would make it for our family and have always enjoyed it. This salad has been around for a LONG time, and I’m pretty sure it’s a classic recipe because it tastes good, and is ridiculously simple to make!

Classic 5 Cup Salad gets its traditional name because (wait for it)… it only has 5 ingredients, and each ingredient measures 1 cup. Pretty basic, right? Ha Ha!

Anyways, this salad is cold and sweet which is perfect for any time of the year, but especially on hot days. Mix it together in only a few minutes, then put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day you have a nice and sweet, cold, yummy salad. Here’s how to make it.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Classic 5 Cup Salad

This salad is SO EASY to make! In a large bowl, place 1 cup (canned/drained) mandarin oranges, 1 cup (canned/drained) pineapple chunks, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup miniature marshmallows. Stir until they’re combined.

Mandarin oranges, pineapple, coconut and mini marshmallows, in a bowl.

The last ingredient to be added is 1 cup of sour cream. I use light sour cream for less calories, but regular or light sour cream both work well in this salad.

Even though it sounds weird to add sour cream to the fruit salad, after it has chilled, you’ll be surprised how the sour cream sweetens from extended contact with the fruit and coconut.

Stir the sour cream into the salad, until all ingredients are fully combined. A now you have just made a Classic 5 Cup Salad! See how simple it is to make?

Sour cream is added to the fruit salad in the bowl.

Refrigerate The Finished Salad – Important!

Now for the IMPORTANT PART! Spoon the salad into an airtight container (with a lid). Cover the container and place the classic 5 cup salad in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 8 hours).

TIP: The long chilling time allows the mandarin oranges, pineapple, coconut and marshmallows to sweeten the sour cream, which is necessary for best flavor and results.

Time To Enjoy The Classic 5 Cup Salad

After the classic 5 cup salad has been refrigerated overnight, and the flavors have had plenty of time to “mingle”, the salad is ready to be enjoyed!

Grab a serving spoon and give the salad a quick stir, then scoop up a big bite! As written, this recipe is enough for 8 small servings, but if you want a larger amount per serving… go for it!

This salad is delicious, refreshing, and the ingredients come together to create a unique, chilled, sweet and colorful salad. YUM!

If you haven’t made this salad before, I hope you have the opportunity to do so. It’s an easy to make salad I’m confident you’ll enjoy!

Lime Brown Butter Shrimp is a simple, yet delicious dish! Large sautéed shrimp with butter, lime zest, garlic and spices is served over rice!
Lime Brown Butter Shrimp is a simple, yet delicious dish! Large sautéed shrimp with butter, lime zest, garlic and spices is served over rice!

Do you enjoy eating shrimp? We do, and I’ve enjoyed making many different recipes featuring shrimp over the years! Today I want to share a delicious recipe for Lime Brown Butter Shrimp I believe you’re going to love!

The recipe itself is fairly simple to make. Butter is cooked in a skillet until it becomes “browned” (with a slightly nutty flavor), then the butter is infused with the finely grated zest from one lime. This adds a pop of citrus flavor that adds great taste to this dish.

The shrimp is cooked with seasonings (garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper) and a small amount of the browned butter until done. All the remaining browned lime butter is added to the cooked shrimp and heated through, and then served over rice.

That’s it! This shrimp dish is absolutely delicious, and truly is quite simple to make. Here’s how to prepare this yummy dish.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

First Things First

To start, get all the ingredients together. You will need butter, a pound of large shrimp, fresh thyme leaves, lime zest, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, salt and pepper.

Place the shrimp on several layers of paper towels, and then blot them with another paper towel, to remove excess moisture.

Ingredients are gathered to season this shrimp recipe.Large shrimp are blotted dry on paper towels before they are cooked.

Brown The Butter

Place 4 Tablespoons of butter in a large skillet and heat it on LOW heat until it has melted. Stir in fresh thyme leaves and continue cooking on LOW heat, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until the butter becomes light brown in color and has a nutty aroma.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir all of the lime zest into the browned butter mixture until incorporated. Pour the butter into a small bowl, but leaving about 2 teaspoons in the skillet.

Butter is melted in a large skillet.Once butter is browned, thyme leaves and fresh lime zest are stirred in.

Using the same skillet (with that tiny amount of butter in it), add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Be careful to not allow the garlic to burn or it can become bitter.

Now it’s time to cook the shrimp! Place the shrimp into the hot skillet in a single layer.

Minced garlic is cooked in a small amount of the browned butter.The shrimp are added to the cooked garlic in skillet.

Season And Cook The Shrimp

Sprinkle the shrimp with the chili powder, ground cumin, salt and pepper, then stir until each shrimp is well coated with spices.

Lay the shrimp back out in a single layer and cook them for about 2 minutes, then turn the shrimp to the other side. Continue cooking until they have turned pink, are cooked through, and are no longer translucent in color.

The total cooking time will be between 3-4 minutes. Be sure to not overcook the shrimp because this can lead to them being “rubbery” in texture and you really don’t want that.

Chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper are added and stirred into the shrimp.Lime Brown Butter Shrimp are cooked on both sides for 3-4 minutes total.

Pour the remaining browned butter lime mixture back into the skillet, and stir gently to coat the shrimp with the butter sauce.

Stir the browned butter in only until reheated (less than a minute), and then the  lime brown butter shrimp is done! Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.

Remaining brown butter lime sauce is added back into the skillet of shrimp.

Serve The Lime Brown Butter Shrimp

To serve, place a bed of white or brown rice on each serving plate, then top each portion with about 5-6 large shrimp. Drizzle with some of remaining sauce.

This one pound bag of large shrimp yielded 5 large shrimp per serving (four servings total), but sometimes you can end up with 6 per serving depending on the provider. 

Garnish each portion with a fresh lime wedge, which adds another pop of flavor when squeezed over the shrimp! Serve immediately while hot… and enjoy this delicious meal.

Lime Brown Butter Shrimp is served with a lime slice on top of white rice.

I hope you have a chance to enjoy some Lime Brown Butter Shrimp, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do! It really is quite easy to make but it has delicious flavor!

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more delicious recipes! Take care, may God bless you, and have a GREAT day!

Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits taste amazing! You’re going to love these soft, buttery biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.
Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits taste amazing! You're going to love these soft, buttery biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.

Do you enjoy biscuits? We sure do, and the recipe I am sharing today is a fantastic one for making them in an air fryer! I found the original recipe in a manual that came with my air fryer, and only made a couple small changes.

Let me tell you, these air fryer cheddar biscuits (with diced jalapeños) are SO GOOD! They are big enough biscuits that sometimes my hubby and I split one, and every bite is full of deliciousness.

The prep is fairly minimal, but the results are amazing! If you have an air fryer, I hope you will try this biscuit recipe. Here’s how to make them.

Make The Dough For The Cheddar Biscuits

Sift all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda together into a large mixing bowl. Cut VERY COLD butter into small chunks and add them to the sifted dry ingredients.

Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Continue until the dough becomes crumbly, and the butter has been reduced to the size of peas.

Cold butter is cut into the dry, sifted flour mixture.It's ready when the cold butter is reduced to the size of peas.

Add grated cheddar cheese and finely diced jalapenos to the dry ingredients and stir, to combine. Once combined, pour in the buttermilk, and stir until it has been incorporated into the mixture.

NOTE: The jalapeno flavor is very mild in this recipe (as written). Don’t like jalapeños? Leave them out! Do you LOVE jalapeños? Add more, if desired, to suit your taste.

Grated cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños are added to dough mixture.Cold buttermilk is added to the cheddar biscuit dough and stirred to combine.

Continue to stir until all the dough ingredients have been fully combined in a shaggy mound of dough.

The ball of dough for the air fryer cheddar biscuits is ready.

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the basket of your air fryer. Place the dough in a mound in the middle of the paper.

Shape the dough into a square, about 1″ thick, using your hands (a bit sticky). Slice the dough into 4 equal-sized squares using a knife or pizza cutter (my favorite way to cut them).

Separate them a bit on the parchment paper, and then brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter. Now they’re ready for the air fryer.

Time For the Air Fryer!

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Once it has reached temperature, carefully place the parchment paper and biscuits into the basket. Cook the biscuits at 350°F for 12 minutes without disturbing them.

When done, the air fryer cheddar biscuits should be nicely browned on top and cooked all the way through. Transfer the parchment paper (and biscuits) to a wire rack to cool for 1 minute before serving.

Slice through the biscuits to separate them from each other, because they may have cooked together as they rose and cooked in the pan.

Time To Enjoy The Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits

Serve the air fryer cheddar biscuits while they’re warm and enjoy! My husband and I split them in half at times, because they are a large biscuit, and are a bit calorically “challenging”!

The biscuits are buttery and slightly crunchy on the outside, but the inside is soft and fluffy! These delicious biscuits taste outstanding, as well, and the jalapeños only add a tiny amount of heat.

I hope you enjoy these amazing biscuits and trust you have the same reaction we did when we tried them the very first time. We said “WOW”!!!

Whip up delicious Broccoli Cheese Soup using an Instant Pot in about 30 minutes! This soup recipe is easy to make and yields 6 servings.
Whip up delicious Broccoli Cheese Soup using an Instant Pot in about 30 minutes! This soup recipe is easy to make and yields 6 servings.

Last summer, our oldest son gave me his Instant Pot, after moving out of his apartment, getting married in Portugal and moving to Portugal.

After researching how to use an Instant Pot since he didn’t have the instruction manual, I figured it out and have been using it ever since. True story!

So now, almost a year after receiving my Instant Pot, I’m finally getting around to posting the first IP recipe on my blog! I’ve made quite a few meals already using the Instant Pot, but this is the first “OFFICIAL” recipe I’m adding to the blog, with more to come in the days ahead.

This original recipe came from a wonderful cookbook I purchased by author Coco Morante, and I highly recommend her book, referenced below.

So… if you have an Instant Pot and would like to make some delicious Broccoli Cheese Soup using it, here’s how to do that.

How To Make Broccoli Cheese Soup In An Instant Pot

The first thing you need to do is remove the lid and then program the Instant Pot to SAUTÉ. Place 2 Tablespoons butter in the inner pot and heat, stirring often, until the butter has melted.

Instant pot is ready to cook some broccoli cheese soup!

To the melted butter add finely diced onion, diced celery, shredded carrot, minced garlic and salt, and stir to combine these ingredients.

Sauté the veggies for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often. When done, the onion should have softened considerably, but should still be translucent in color (not browned or crispy).

Now stir in one pound of small broccoli florets and 3 cups of vegetable broth. Stir until combined, pushing the broccoli down into the liquid.

Onion, carrots, celery, and garlic are sautéed in melted butter.Broccoli florets and vegetable broth are added to the Instant Pot.

Put the cover on the Instant Pot, and make sure it is securely locked in place. Flip the pressure release knob to SEALING. Push the CANCEL button to clear the cooking program, then press either the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button (depending on your machine).

Set the cooking time for 1 minute at High pressure. Now the machine will start heating up before the pressure cooking begins. It will take about 8-10 minutes before the Instant Pot reaches full pressure and the 1 minute cooking timer starts.

 

Make A “Slurry”

During the time the soup is coming to pressure and cooking, you can make the “slurry” which will be used to slightly thicken the soup once cooked.

In a bowl or medium-sized measuring cup, combine half and half, hot sauce and cornstarch, and stir until fully combined, with no lumps. Set aside until the soup has finished cooking.

Finish Making The Broccoli Cheese Soup

Once the timed cooking ends for the soup, let the pressure release NATURALLY for 5 minutes (do nothing). After 5 minutes, flip the pressure release knob to VENTING, which will allow any remaining steam inside to release immediately.

Carefully remove the lid, then press the CANCEL button, to again reset your Instant Pot. Now push the SAUTÉ button again.

After pressure cooking the soup is ready to be thickened.

Give the “slurry” you made a quick stir once again, then add it to the soup. Now toss in all that beautiful shredded cheddar cheese, and stir to combine.

A "slurry" of half and half, cornstarch and hot sauce is added to the soup.Lots of shredded cheddar cheese is stirred into the hot soup until melted.

Continue to stir and cook the soup at a low simmer (not boiling) until the cheese has melted and the slurry mixture has slightly thickened the broccoli cheese soup.

Once the soup is fully heated through, it is done. However, I suggest taking a bite and then adding more salt (if desired), to suit your taste. If you want the soup spicier, by all means, add some more hot sauce!

After the broccoli cheese soup has thickened slightly, it is ready to serve.

Serve The Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ladle the broccoli cheddar soup into serving bowls, and garnish the top with additional shredded cheese (optional, but good).

Serve this delicious soup with a nice warm piece of bread or a green salad on the side. We enjoyed our soup with warm slices of homemade Oatmeal Molasses Bread on the side, and it was a great combination!

I hope you have the chance to make this Instant Pot recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. We like the convenience of using the Instant Pot for making soup in a short amount of time!

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you… and have a GREAT day.
