Lemon Zucchini Bread

Image
This lemon zucchini bread is incredibly moist with a bright citrus zing! Bake it up and top it with a zesty glaze. Here’s a surprise favorite in my house when it comes to zucchini recipes: Lemon Zucchini Bread! Honestly, I’d make this instead of classic zucchini bread every time. This loaf is incredibly moist, super zingy from the lemon zest and topped with a flavor-popping sweet glaze. Cut it into thick slices and it’s extremely irresistible. I’m a huge chocolate person, but this is my favorite variation on zucchini bread (though this Chocolate Zucchini Bread is an extremely close second!). 5 Star Reader Reviews “What a keeper! Moist! Delicious! I found the cake not to be too sweet at all with the amount of sugar in the recipe. Do not leave off that wonderful glaze!! It was just the ticket to pull the whole flavor profile together in the best way!” -Terry “My two breads came out very well!! Very moist. I didn’...

Gibraltar Coffee

Image
Gibraltar coffee is a rich espresso drink made with equal parts espresso and steamed milk: similar to a cortado, but served in an iconic glass! Here’s how to make it at home. Love a perfectly balanced espresso drink? Ty the Gibraltar! The ever popular latte is a luxurious treat, with its microfoam bubbles and foamy topping. But in my opinion as a coffee drink expert, the Gibraltar is even more deliciously satisfying. This drink uses equal parts espresso and steamed milk, which makes a perfect ideal balance of robust and creamy. This Spanish coffee drink is intensely smooth and made for sipping: I love ordering it (and its cousin drink the Cortado ) at coffee shops. Here’s more about it and how to make it at home! What’s Gibraltar Coffee? The Gibraltar is an espresso drink made with equal parts espresso and steamed milk, also known as as a Cortado .

Whiskey Ginger

Image
The Whiskey Ginger is an easy cocktail that’s so refreshing! Whiskey and ginger ale is a classic combination: use any type you have on hand. Here’s a classic combination that makes one of the easiest cocktails you’ll make: the Whiskey Ginger! Whiskey and ginger ale are the perfect pair: the spicy notes of the liquor meld into the subtle sweet and bubbly notes of the ale. Add a squeeze of lime and a big ice cube, and you’re in business! I’m a big fan of ginger ale cocktails and ginger beer cocktails because of the spicy, subtly herbaceous flavor. You can make this drink with either one: it’s typically made with ginger ale, though I personally like it better with ginger beer because the flavor is even more intense! What’s a Whiskey Ginger? The Whiskey Ginger is another name for mixing whiskey and ginger ale. It’s essentially the same as a Whiskey Highball , a classic cocktail born in the early 1900’s. A highba...

Smoked Trout Salad Recipe

Image
This canned smoked trout salad recipe is creamy, smoky, and loaded with fresh herbs, ready in 5 minutes with no cooking required! It’s perfect on toast, over quinoa, or in a grain bowl. I’m a cookbook author who has written thousands of recipes, but at 5:00 pm I still feel like I’m constantly wondering, “What’s something easy I can make for dinner?” My new solution: tinned fish. Specifically: canned smoked trout. Yes, I realize “tinned fish” can be polarizing, but’s having a moment right now on Tik Tok and for good reason. It’s shelf-stable, high in protein and omega-3s, and when you make it in this salad: it’s also very delicious . Smoked salmon has always been one of my favorite foods (my family is Norwegian and I grew up in Minnesota, so it was never a weird thing). Smoked trout, it turns out, is just as good (or better?) and this five-minute salad is proof! Why You’ll Love This Recipe 5 minutes, zero cooking...
