This Beef Kafta Recipe turns a classic Lebanese dish into something possible at home on a weeknight. The succulent grilled meat kabobs are flavored with garlic, onions and lots of dried herbs and spices. Serve simply with yogurt dipping sauce, or bowl-style for a larger meal.

—Michele

If you’ve seen the term “kafta” or “kofta” on a Lebanese restaurant menu and have been unsure of what it might be or if you’d like it, this post is for you!

To quickly explain, this dish is a mixture of ground beef and/or lamb, mixed with onion and spices, formed into a patty, log or meatball, and then grilled.

Even if this is your first time hearing this term, I’m here to convince you that this dish is a great make-at-home weeknight dinner with huge flavor!

It can be made with your choice of ground meat, it comes together in about 30 minutes, and you can serve it on its own with side dishes of your choice, or bowl-style with rice, a fresh salad, and pita bread.

Cannoli Dip comes together in 5 minutes with just 5 ingredients. It’s super easy to halve the recipe for a small group, or double it for a large party.

This Recipe For Cannoli Dip Is Perfect For Your Sweet Tooth!

A perfect cannoli is one of my favorite desserts, and also one of the most hard-to-find. It’s not exactly easy finding a great cannoli in the Detroit area. So unless I’m boarding a flight to Boston, it’s a dessert that lives largely in my dreams.

Sure, I could make them at home. But, making them from scratch is pretty labor intensive and not something I usually have time for.

So, I created this Cannoli Dip recipe as a simple way to enjoy some of the *flavors* of cannoli with minimal effort.

The mascarpone, ricotta and lightly sweet vanilla flavor are all there. The crunchy mini chocolate chips are bountiful (and, you can add chopped pistachios if you want). Truly, it’s like 98% as satisfying as a cannoli, and well, that’s good enough for me!

This Blood Orange Margarita recipe is sweetened with honey, and comes together in 5 minutes, with just 4 ingredients.

The Perfect Blood Orange Margarita

When you’re making blood orange margaritas, you want a recipe you can trust. After all, blood oranges are special (they only come around for a limited time each year) and expensive. You DON’T want to waste even a single orange on a bad margarita recipe.

You’ve come to the right place, because we carefully tested and refined this recipe until the unique taste of blood orange juice was shining through and perfectly complementing the crisp bite of tequila. Oh, and we figured out it also needed a bit of lime juice to taste its best!

We tested this recipe with four different sweeteners until we found the best one, and tested every ratio of blood orange juice to lime juice to tequila to sweetener until we got the most perfectly balanced drink.

Whether you’re an experienced mixologist or just looking for a way to use the blood oranges you bought on a whim, this blood orange margarita will turn out perfectly, every single time.

Skip the marinara sauce and build a Meatball Sandwich with a garlic and white wine sauce. Keep meatballs warm in a crockpot for tailgating or parties!

My Spin On The Classic Meatball Sandwich

While everyone thinks of a classic red sauce when they think of a meatball sub, I actually love one that skips the marinara and takes a different route.

While this meatball sandwich still has juicy, flavorful homemade meatballs nestled into a big hoagie roll, it has a garlic and white wine sauce that really elevates this classic dish.

I’ve been making this dish for tailgates and game day parties for years and I’ve never heard one complaint that anybody is missing the marinara. I’ve only heard enthusiastic compliments!

Your Guide To Perfectly Made Shrimp Fajitas

When it comes to making perfect shrimp fajitas, it’s all about cooking each ingredient perfectly. Nothing is worse than still-crunchy peppers and over-cooked shrimp, right?

An easy-to-clean-up sheet pan meal is totally possible, but you have to know what order to add the ingredients to the pan, and how long to cook each part of the recipe.

Unfortunately, as I’ve found out through lots of testing, it’s not an add everything to the pan at the same time situation.

But, by taking care to add the vegetables and shrimp to the pan in just two additions, you’re guaranteed to end up with a dinner where every single ingredient is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

This Creamy Veggie Pasta proves that sauce made by blending cottage cheese and marinara has gone viral on social media for good reason. It’s actually really great! High in protein and satisfyingly creamy.

“I made this tonight and it was delicious! I ended up doubling the recipe and using a bag of frozen vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, & carrots) as that was all I had on hand. Turned out great, love a good meatless Monday meal!”

—Meghan

This Veggie Pasta with Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce Will Become A Go-To!

Here in the Midwest, we know a little something about cottage cheese. Sure, it’s great as a side dish, but even better as an ingredient. My family has been making lasagna with cottage cheese for generations.

So when I saw a quick clip of the viral Tik Tok trend of blending marinara and cottage cheese into a smooth, creamy sauce, I instantly knew I had to try it (which is saying something, because I ignore almost all Tik Tok trends).

But I would only ever share it with you if it indeed was delicious, and I’m happy to report that it is. I made a few tweaks to make it my own, and it’s so good that this Creamy Veggie Pasta recipe should also be handed down to future generations.
