The CWT way! - Inspired by Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Noodle Soup) -original base and CWT recipes included " A warm comforting soup made with a tangy tomato base and golden brown noodles. It is so popular with moms because it is very easy to make, budget-friendly and kids love it because what kid doesn’t like noodles? " Fideo soup is pure comfort in a bowl and a warm hug from childhood! 🧡🍜 If you grew up in a Mexican household, chances are this cozy classic brings back all the feels —the smell of golden toasted noodles, the tangy tomato broth bubbling away, and your mamá or abuelita stirring the pot with love. 😍 It's a favorite for a reason— super easy to make , totally budget-friendly, and seriously, what kid doesn’t get excited about noodles?! 🍅🧄🍝 A warm bowl of fideo served up with a beef soft taco or a bean and cheese taco (another kid-friendly food staple I might add) is a combination that ranks right up there with the likes of the American tomato soup and a grilled cheese, Italian Pastina  and crusty bread or southern cornbread  and chili ! In my opinion, this is cheap comfort food gold. Every mom makes it a little differently—there’s no one right way to fideo, and that’s what makes it special! 💫 The heart of it? A flavorful blend of tomatoes, onion, garlic, and broth poured over thin noodles that have been sautéed to a golden perfection. Add more broth, simmer until tender, and voilà— pure magic . ✨ Fun fact: Fideo is often called a “dry soup” (yes, that’s a thing!). Once it sits, the pasta slurps up all that yummy broth and becomes thicker. So if you're a fan of a brothier bowl, just add a little extra liquid love. 💧💕 Now… if you really know me, you know I just had to put a little spin on it 😏🎉 Enter: Refrigerator Fideo Soup! 🥄💡 Think of it as the delicious love child of classic fideo and “whatever-you’ve-got-leftover” magic. Growing up, my mom would toss in whatever was in the fridge, and every pot was a little different—but always SO good. And yep, I still do it to this day (just smaller pots now 😂). This time? I had some leftover chili from a weeknight dinner, a bag of fideo, and all the basics ready to go. Tossed it all in a pot and BAM— new favorite comfort meal unlocked . 🥰🔥 Give it a try and make it your own! Send me a chat message below if you do—I’d love to see your creations! 🍲❤️ Sopa de Fideo -Original Version Servings – 4 Prep Time – 15 Cook Time – 15 Ingredients: 3 tablespoons vegetable 0r olive oil 1 7oz bag fideo pasta 1 12oz can of tomato sauce 2-1/2 cups chicken broth or water with call for amount of chicken-flavored bouillon, low sodium 1/2 - 1 cup Mexican cheese, shredded 1/4 of a medium onion, coarsely chopped 1-2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Optional Toppings/Sides Cilantro Sour cream Banana slices Tortilla with mayo Queso fresco or cotija cheese Salsa Tortilla chips Directions: Add 2 tablespoons oil to a medium pot and cook on LOW-MEDIUM heat. Add in chopped onion and cook until translucent and soft. Add in 1 tablespoon of oil to the onion mix; stir in fideo and cook until noodles are coated in oil and have started to lightly brown. Add garlic, chili, and onion powder, paprika, cumin, and pepper. Stir until combined. Pour in tomato sauce and broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce to LOW and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until noodles are soft. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve warm. Garnish individual servings as desired and enjoy! Notes: Noodle substitute: If you can’t find Fideo noodles, break angel hair noodles, thin spaghetti, or vermicelli noodles into 1-inch pieces and toast. Storing: Leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for 3-4 months. Can I add meat or veggies to the soup?  Add shredded chicken or browned ground beef or turkey for a heartier fideo soup. Add veggies like peas, corn, zucchini, and carrots or a can of diced or crushed tomatoes. Want to add more flavor?  Infuse extra flavor by sautéing chopped fresh garlic in the oil before adding the fideo. Make this Sopa de Fideo recipe a richer flavor by pureeing roasted tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Spice it up with jalapeno or add in a little hot sauce. *The sauce/broth will continue to absorb into the noodles as the pan sits, since it’s known as a dry- soup. Add 1-2 more cups of broth or water to offset the absorption process, if you prefer to keep more liquid in the soup. Sopa de Fideo Chili -The CWT Way! Ingredients: 3 tablespoons vegetable 0r olive oil 1 7oz bag fideo pasta 1 8oz can tomato sauce 1 8 or 10oz can of crushed tomatoes 1 cup beef broth, low sodium 1 cup Mexican cheese, shredded 2 cups left over chili, try my MF's Chili recipe 1-2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Cilantro, optional garnish Sour cream, optional garnish Extra shredded cheese, optional garnish Tortilla chips, optional side Directions: Add 3 tablespoons oil to a medium pot and cook on LOW-MEDIUM heat. Stir in fideo and cook until noodles are coated in oil and have started to lightly brown. Pour in tomato sauce, broth and crushed tomatoes; mix well. Add garlic, chili, and onion powder, paprika, cumin, and pepper; stir until combined. Then reduce to LOW and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until noodles are soft. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve warm. Garnish individual servings with shredded cheese, sour cream and cilantro if desired and enjoy!

AKA: RI Red or RI Red Chowder - Copycat Recipe " No one can appreciate this recipe more than someone who grew up eating chowder and clam cakes at The Worlds Largest Rocky Point Shore Dinner Hall on the east coast. This recipe is adapted from the original Rocky Point recipe." Shore Dining Hall - Full Family Style Dinner Layout Rocky Point Park open up in the 1840s, 146 years later it was my turn to enjoy the true pleasure of eating rocky point chowder. What a joy! I was in my teens when it closed it doors forever. Shore Dinning Hall, Rocky Point Park Rocky Point Chowder House They did open a restaurant years after the park closed... But it wasn't the same and has since closed it's doors once again. Since moving to the south of course I crave and miss my old stomping grounds food. So I had to get to work and turn my kitchen into a science lab. Park, Grounds Area and Dining Hall Map My Mom used to make this chowder in the summer months after the Shore Dinner Hall permanently closed down. She was able to adapt the recipe to be the closest to it that I have had. So one day after moving out of state, I said to the kids... "let's go get some little necks and clam juice!" OHHHHH.... so many ingredients are so hard to find in the south.. these people don't know seafood; yes they have the third coast but nothing compares to New England... NOT EVEN CLOSE! One taste test of the soup... and it was amazing! Memories of being a kid, sitting in the Shore Dinner Hall started to flood back. And then of course I had to dip a clam cake in! I have found a handful of people that are New England transplants and we chat now on a daily/weekly basis. (You know who you are 🙋🏻‍♀️ It feels good to find others you can relate to once you move out of your home state. I am hoping these recipes bring them a little comfort as it has me.

If you prefer a chowder the white thicker and creamier chowder, try my New England Clam Chowder ! It's another favorite staple of mine growing up! Notes: If you are not able to purchase clam juice, you can also use a vegetable stock, and add in clam boullion found in your local grocery stores. *Quahogs  (pronounced  KAW-HAWGS ) are the largest clam of clams! Sometimes weighing as much as half a pound or more. Round where I grew up, they're known as "Stuffie Clams" and it's for good reason—their large size makes them very easy to process for Stuffies or big pots of chowder.

Copycat Recipe - Lemony Garlic Aioli Included - CWT's addition " This recipe is best made with finely chopped clams, beer, eggs and buttermilk. Fried to perfection and oh so delicious. It's memories that make your mouth happy! Clam cakes! They’re just like crab cakes or fish cakes, only with clams, right? Oh no, my friend... If you think that, you would be terribly, tragically, absolutely WRONG. Because as much as I love crab cakes, a true Rhode Island style clam cake is so, so much more. (Think beignet, or donut hole. Only savory.) Crispy, golden brown on the outside, pillowy and light on the inside. Steam rises from the first bite. The slightest aroma of brine surrounds you. Tiny chunks of clam nestle themselves in the folds of the pillow, offering surprising bites of chewy meatiness as you down one of these little glories after another... after another.. and another... and .. well you get my point 🤤🤤 In my opinion NO region can boast mastery of the humble clam like New England. And within New England, it is Little Rhody that does it best. I have never seen clam cakes in any other place either from traveling or research. They are a masterpiece of street food. To me, they are why you arrive early and stood in the long line at my favorite little shack on the beach. When I was a kid, I was partial to gigantic plates of fried clams and scallops, clamcakes and chowder along with watermelon and sweet sugary doughboys... Those were the days! When I grew a little older, I lusted after clamcakes more... Had to get my fix every so often, dunk them in my chowder and devour them! They are to me the gateway foo d of Little Rhody, which i s the place I learned to forage and the place whose natural beauty I still hold nearest and dearest to my heart. As it happens, these are basically clam beignets. More clams than the typical fritter, cake flour instead of all-purpose, and a touch of maple syrup. Maple syrup? Trust me. You need it. It's the secret to its slight sweetness with the hearty clams and pillowy dough that surrounds them.

She was able to adapt the recipe to be the closest to it that I have had. Of course over the years after my taste buds changed and became more sophistocated, I didn't dear touch the clam cake recipe,... there is nothing to fix or that could make it any better!

Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.

First things first — preheat your oven to 350°F and get those loaf pans ready with a spritz of non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, and sweetener until smooth and fluffy. You want a nice creamy base with no lumps! Next, add in the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and orange extract . Grab your hand mixer and blend everything until the batter is silky and fully combined. Now it’s time for the dry ingredients! Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt . Mix it all together until your batter is smooth and there are no clumps left. Pour the batter evenly into three mini loaf pans or one regular loaf pan . Make sure not to fill them to the top — give the batter some room to rise! Bake mini loaves for about 35 minutes , or the full-size loaf for around 60 minutes . Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean — you’re golden! If not, pop it back in the oven for a few more minutes. 🍋 While the cake bakes, whip up that dreamy cream cheese frosting: In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream . Use your hand mixer on high speed and beat until you get a creamy, smooth, spreadable frosting. 💡 CWT Pro tip: Make sure your lemon pound cake is completely cool before frosting — otherwise the frosting will melt right into the cake (and we want those gorgeous swirls on top!).

While your loaf is baking, whip up this dreamy vanilla frosting! 💕 In a medium bowl, combine: Truvia sweetener Softened cream cheese Vanilla extract Heavy whipping cream Blend it all up using a hand mixer on high speed until it’s smooth, fluffy, and irresistible. 😋 💡 CWT Pro Tip: Wait until the loaf is completely cooled before frosting — or your beautiful icing will melt right off into the cake. (Still tasty, but not as pretty! 😉) Notes: Soften cream cheese to room temperature and cream well to a smooth consistency. This will avoid lumps as seen on my loaf. There is nothing wrong with this and doesn't affect the taste. You may feel a creamy pocket of cream cheese on your palette. 😉 Nutrition: Calories: 230 | Carbohydrates: 5g | Protein: 8g | Fat: 20.9g | Cholesterol: 121mg | Sodium: 171.3mg | Fiber: 1.9g | Sugar: 1.3g This website is the project of an unpaid hobby,  fully maintained and supported by CWT.

Keto, Low-Carb, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free Healthy Option " ✨ Make my easy Cauliflower mac & cheese that’s cheesy, buttery, and sooo comforting… in just 30 minutes... you won’t even miss the pasta!" 🥦🧀💛 Cauliflower Mac & Cheese That’ll Make You Forget All About the “Mac” 😍🧀✨ This ooey-gooey, cheesy, buttery bowl of comfort is everything you love about mac & cheese… but with a fun, veggie-packed twist! 🥦💛 You seriously won’t miss the pasta—promise! It’s rich, creamy, and the perfect way to sneak in extra veggies without skimping on flavor (or that cheesy fix we all crave 🙌😋). Why You’ll Love This Recipe Cauliflower = the ultimate glow-up veggie 🥦💫 Okay, yes, it’s obviously a cauliflower recipe—but hear me out! Cauliflower has totally changed the game in my kitchen. It’s sooo versatile and swaps in for pasta, potatoes, and rice like a champ. Mixing things up with this veggie not only keeps meals fun, but also adds a sneaky extra serving of veggies (win-win!). Hand-shredded cheese = melty magic 🧀✨ Trust me on this: skip the pre-shredded stuff. That powdery coating they use? It keeps the cheese from melting into that dreamy, smooth sauce. Grating it yourself = extra melty, creamy, cheesy goodness AND it’s budget-friendly too! 🙌💛 The roux makes it WOW 👩‍🍳🔥 Don’t skip the roux (aka the buttery flour mixture that makes the sauce super luscious). It’s the secret sauce to getting everything smooth and dreamy. No clumpy cheese bits here—just velvety, creamy love in every bite 😍🍽️ Leftovers = happiness for days 🥳🧀 If you somehow don’t finish the whole thing (good luck with that 😅), it reheats like a dream! Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a midnight snack. Cauliflower mac & cheese on repeat? Yes, please! 💃✨ 🧀 Best Cheeses for Cauli Mac & Cheese Sharp cheddar is my go-to, but don’t be afraid to mix things up!

Use a box grater or food processor. I love sharp cheddar but feel free to mix in your faves like pepper jack or gouda. 🥦 Pick the best cauliflower! Look for heads that are heavy, tight, and vibrant with green leaves. Skip any with lots of browning or soft spots. 🧻 Avoid watery mac! After steaming, pat your cauliflower dry with a towel. I like to toss mine on a kitchen towel while I prep the sauce—easy peasy! This cauliflower mac & cheese is cozy, cheesy, and totally crave-worthy—and it’s bringing the veggie love in the tastiest way possible 😍🧀🥦 Let’s get cooking! 💃🔥 Creamy Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Servings – 6 Prep Time – 10 Cook Time – 20-30 minutes Ingredients: 6-8 cups cauliflower - chopped into 1-inch pieces fresh or frozen = to one large head or 24oz bag of frozen cauliflower florets. 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons almond flour, or equivalent of your choice 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan gum 2 cups heavy cream or half and half 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 cup pork rinds, crushed or semi chunky - crispiness is to your desire 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded for top salt and pepper to taste Additional optional toppings or mix-ins: Crispy cooked bacon Grilled or boiled hot dogs Browned ground beef, or turkey Directions: Preheat your oven to 375°F 🔥 — it’s time to get that cheesy goodness nice and bubbly! Prepare a baking sheet with a slipat or parchment paper; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, add about 1 inch of water, then toss in your cauliflower florets 🥦. Microwave on high for 8 minutes, until tender. Drain the water and set the cauliflower aside to cool slightly. If using frozen heat to defrost for 2-3 minutes in a microwave safe bowl. Drain cauliflower if needed. Spread out on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Bake/roast for 15-20 minutes, until edges start to brown. While cauliflower is roasting; In a large saucepan, melt your butter over medium heat 🧈. Sprinkle in the flour and stir it around for about 3 minutes, until it starts to smell a little nutty and turns golden 🌾. Slowly whisk in the cream, a little at a time, making sure it’s super smooth and creamy as it thickens up 🥛✨. Remove from heat, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in your freshly shredded cheese until it’s all melted and dreamy 🧄🧀💛. Gently fold in your roasted cauliflower, coating every piece in that cheesy sauce 🥦🧀. Pour everything into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly. Add in any toppings you desire now. Sprinkle with additional cheddar and mozzarella cheese, (or cheeses of your choice) Sprinkle over crushed pork rinds, if desired. Bake for 25 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden. Want it extra crispy? Flip your oven to broil for 2–4 minutes to get that golden-brown finish 😋 (but keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!). - Been there DONE that! 🔥 Let it cool for a few minutes before diving in — it’ll be hot hot HOT! 🔥🥄 💨 To Make in the Instant Pot: Add your cauliflower to the Instant Pot along with 2 tablespoons of water 🥦💧. Seal it up and cook on Manual (High Pressure) for 5 minutes ⏱️. Once done, quick release the pressure and open the lid carefully. Stir in all the remaining ingredients (cheese, butter, seasonings, milk, etc.) 🧀🧈✨. Switch the Instant Pot to “Keep Warm” and let everything sit for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Keep stirring and letting it warm until the cheese is fully melted, creamy, and everything is heated through. Top with extra cheese and crushed pork rinds. Serve and enjoy! 😋💛 Notes: 🧀 A Quick Cheese Tip! Whatever you do, skip the pre-shredded cheese...please! 🧀 I totally get that it's convenient, but trust me— grating it yourself is 100% worth it . Pre-shredded cheese is coated with a substance that keeps it from clumping in the bag, but unfortunately, that same coating prevents it from melting smoothly (it also has carbs in it, where brick cheese does not). Instead of a creamy, dreamy sauce, you'll end up with a grainy texture—and nobody wants that! Want to mix things up? 🎉 You totally can! Try swapping out some (or all!) of the cheese for other varieties. I've made this with white cheddar and it was so good. Feeling bold? Go half white cheddar, half pepper jack for a little extra kick 🌶️😋. Give the cauliflower enough space when roasting. You want each floret touching the pan to get those browned edges — and to make this process fast. Sauce too thick or too thin? It’s easy to adjust the consistency before mixing with the cauliflower. Keep in mind it  will thicken more as it cools from piping hot to warm. But if you need to adjust, add more shredded cheese to make it thicker, or cream to thin it out. Easy! Fold in the sauce gently. The tender cauliflower can break apart if you’re too rough with it. Want an extra cheesy finish, crumb topping, or bacon? Just transfer your cauliflower mac and cheese to a baking dish at the end (I use this oneand it’s the perfect size). Sprinkle with more cheddar if you want a melty top, crushed pork rinds for a crumb topping, or crumbled oven baked bacon. Pop under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown the top. 💜 Storage, reheating and meal prepping: To Store: Pop any leftovers into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days. I wouldn’t recommend freezing it—cheesy cauliflower doesn’t love the freezer, and the sauce can get a bit weird in texture after thawing. To Reheat: Just a heads-up: reheated cauliflower mac might be a little softer, but it's still so  tasty! 😋 You can warm it up in the microwave or pop it in the oven at 350°F until heated through. For Meal Prep: Want to get ahead? 🙌 Roast your cauliflower and make the cheese sauce ahead of time, then store them separately in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, just reheat both (I usually use the microwave for a quick lunch!) and toss them together for a super easy meal.

Copycat Recipe - AKA - Party Pizza " This Rhode Island recipe is inspired by the bakery pizza I used to have growing up that can only be had in Rhode Island. Don't let the lack of toppings stop you from trying this delicious recipe. It's great for a party and kids love it!" HELLO My New England PIZZA STRIP lovers... 🍕 Every bakery had their own take on it, and let me tell you—everyone had very strong opinions! If you walked into a room full of Rhode Islanders and asked, “Okay, so which bakery has the best strips?” you'd instantly get a flood of passionate responses. You’d hear names like Calvitto’s in Providence/Cranston, DeFusco’s in Warwick, DePalmieri’s in Johnston, Crugnale’s in Rumford/Cumberland, DePetrillo’s in North Prov./Smithfield, or La Salle in Providence. The loyalty runs deep —but for me? It’s always been Calvitto’s. Past, present, and forever my fave! 💛 🍕 And if you’ve ever moved away from Rhode Island, you know the craving for those strips hits hard. So with this recipe, I’m really hoping my version brings you right back home. Fingers crossed it hits the spot for you too! 🤞🍞❤️ Pizza Strips Servings – 16 Squares or 8 Strips Prep Time – 15 Minutes Cook Time – 20 Minutes Ingredients: 2 - 16oz packages prepared pizza dough, or homemade - you can use my Hand Tossed Pizza Dough recipe just exclude the cornmeal for dusting. 1 - 28oz can crushed tomatoes 1/2 cup olive oil, divided 3 tablespoons grated Romano cheese 1 1/2 -2 tablespoons white sugar, depending on the sweetness of your tomatoes 3/4 teaspoon minced garlic 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Roll or press 1/2 of the pizza dough out into a rectangle on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining pizza dough. Mix crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, Romano cheese, sugar, salt, garlic, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl; stir to dissolve sugar. Spread 1/2 of the sauce evenly over each crust, spreading it all the way to the edges. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over each pizza. Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are crisp on the bottom and the sauce looks dry at the edges but is still moist in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on wire racks, about 20 minutes. Cut each cooled pizza into eight 9x3-inch strips. *For the authentic Rhode Island serving style, wrap each strip in a folded piece of wax paper. Yup that'd be me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Keeping it real! Notes: I like homemade pizza dough, but use what's convenient for you. Supermarket dough works just fine. Just don't use a pre-made pizza shell; it doesn't taste the same. It's got to be fresh dough. - Trust me on this one!

Wrap a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with one large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, covering the underside and extending all the way to the top so there are no seams on the bottom or sides of the pan. Repeat with another sheet of foil for insurance. Spray the inside of the pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. Crust In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until well combined. Press the crumbs into an even layer on the the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, until set. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°. Set a medium saucepan of water to boil. Cheesecake Batter In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and flour together on medium speed until just smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to be sure the mixture is evenly combined. Add the vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt; beat on low speed until just combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated, scraping the bowl as necessary. Mix in the sour cream. Make sure the batter is uniform but do not over-mix. Set the cheesecake pan in a large roasting pan. Pour the batter on top of the crust. Pour the boiling water into the large roasting pan to come about 1 inch up the side of the cake pan. Bake until the cake is just set, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes. (If the cheesecake starts to look too golden on top towards the end, cover it loosely with foil.) The cake should will wobble just a bit when the pan is tapped; it will continue to cook as it cools. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Cool the cheesecake in the water bath until the water is just warm, about 45 minutes. Remove the springform pan from the water bath and discard the foil. Run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the cake to make sure it's not sticking to the sides (which can cause cracks as it cools), then cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to cool for at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove the sides of the springform pan. You can serve the cheesecake right from the base of the pan; or, to transfer it to a serving platter by running a long, thin spatula between the crust and the pan bottom, and then use two large spatulas to carefully transfer the cheesecake to a serving dish. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between slices. Serve with mixed berry or fruit topping of choice on top of each slice with a side of whipped cream. Notes: Make Ahead: This cheesecake can be made and stored in the springform pan in the fridge, tightly covered with plastic wrap, up to two days ahead of time. Freezer-Friendly: This cheesecake can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, place the cake in the freezer briefly, unwrapped, to firm it up. Then double-wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator the night before you plan to eat it.

So get ready to dive into a creative, hands-on project that’s not only rewarding but also just plain addictive in the best way! Your new favorite craft adventure awaits! ✨🖌️💫 Materials: Silicone mold of your choice, start small with something like earrings and or pedants - use cast-in-place hole molds for easier charm making. These are the little nubs to create a pre cut hole in your charm for dangling so you don't have to drill. (That's another post for another day...) Crystal clear premixed UV resin for jewelry making Color mica powders and or pigments inks in assorted colors Disposable paper cups Toothpicks for mixing colors Emory board or nail file, soft sandpaper will work too Disposable gloves, safety first! UV light, the ones like the nail salons use for shilac mani-pedi Metal jump rings in 8mm to 12mm Needle nose, and flat nose pliers Instructions: Step 1:  Mixing and coloring your resin layer - For a beginner using the UV resin is easiest in my opionion. You want to use the super clear hard UV Resin type in light colored (whitish frosted style) molds because it cures through and hard to the touch.  💡 CWT tip:  It’s also pretty amazing at releasing bubbles, meaning your jewelry won’t look like something that you would see in a champagne glass. Put on your gloves. Using a disposable cup; measure and pour in a 1/2 ounce of resin. Split the resin between several cups and mix in your favorite your desired amount of mica powder or pigment coloring using a toothpick. Mix together until clear and streak-free. You can always mix more resin than the amount above if you’re making a lot of these. Remember: Always start small, you can always add more rather than waste. Things are to expensive to waste nowadays! 💡 CWT tip:  When adding your powder or pigment coloring, start by adding a pinch, mix and check your color. Add a tiny bit at a time until you reach the color you desire. Remember you can always add more, you can't take it out of what you have mixed. This is the time you get to play with your artsy side. Step 2: Setting and pouring your molds - Slowly pour your resin starting the center of the mold shape and letting it run to the edges of the mold. You can also use the toothpick to spread around the resin to get into any small areas where it may need help. Completely fill the mold cavities with resin to the top edge of the mold. It's thick so it will old shape of the mold and won't spill out all over the place. Place your mold under the UV light for 90 second intervals. Once it completes the first set, I tend to run it again just for extra curing. Then flip the mold and run it for 90 seconds more to cure the underside completely. I say this, because sometimes it doesn't penetrate throuht the thickness of the resin and the mold. This is and extra step but it's worth it. Allow it to sit for a few seconds to harden fully. It may become slightly warm under the UV light, but not hot where you are not able to handle it. Step 3: De-molding and slightly sanding- Once your resin is cured, demold the charms by twisting the mold (like an ice cube tray) to help wean out the charm; grabbing the edge. Sand off any rough edges as necessary with sandpaper or a nail file. You don’t want a sharp edge to poke you or snag a nice cashmere sweater. (and if it does poke you, it’s usually just a flesh wound  😉... Only you can prevent forest fires! - Smokey the Bear... Ok... Okay; I really showed my age with that one!) 💡 CWT tip: Be gentle when moving the molds. You don’t want to move the resin or end up on an uneven surface. Step 4: Making the molded resin peices into charms- Now that you had molded and made your personal charm, it's time to add jump rings, to make them ready to hand from your chain of choice. You can add them to a short chain to make a purse charm or swag charm, earring wires, a necklace, my Charmies , charm bracelet, zipper pulls, keychains and more! Take a jump ring using the needle nose in one hand and the flat nose pliars in the other. Twisting in opposite directions at the cut slit end, slight open the ring enough to slide the charm onto the ring. Twist back in the opposite directions to close securely, lining both ends up to meet each other. Twist the jumpr ring around so the slit slide into the whole of the charm hiding the slice. And there you have it... a personalized charm that you made! Want to make a CWT Charmies for your purse or to hang in your car? Follow this Charmies tutorial after making all your resin charms! 💡 CWT tip: Use molds with cast-in-place holes , you don’t need to drill after de-molding. This... is another post for another day. Make it easier on yourself if you are a beginner at this. If not... take a walk on the wild side and get out those electric work tools! Or psst... have the hubs help ya! 😉 he's always good to look at and watch work... Ok ok.. enough of that... back to resin molds.. de-molding... oh making c-h-a-r-m-s!

" These easy Mini Glazed Donuts require minimal ingredients that you probably already have on hand and are so simple to make. No deep frying required! Their cupcake-like texture pairs perfectly with a simple glaze and makes the best sweet treat. So grab a box of cake mix and let’s get baking! 🍩 " 🍩 Donuts! I snagged a mini donut silicone mold, and honestly, I’ve been donut-obsessed ever since! It’s super easy to use, and making baked mini donuts instead of fried ones feels way better (and less messy!). Plus, once I found out you can whip up donuts in any flavor using cake mix in under 30 minutes, I was totally hooked. 🍩✨ This simple recipe starts with a cake mix, so you can choose from all sorts of flavors—chocolate, strawberry, lemon, red velvet… the list goes on! I kicked things off with a cozy spice cake mix to create fall-inspired donuts, and wow, they were incredible, especially with a sweet cinnamon frosting on top. 😍🍂 Wondering why you’d bother making donuts from cake mix when you could just buy them? Here’s why you’ll totally fall in love with this recipe: Quick & Easy: From mixing to munching, these donuts take less than 30 minutes. Minimal Ingredients: Just a few basics, most likely already chilling in your pantry. Customizable: Mix in your favorite flavors or add toppings to make them uniquely yours. Kid-Friendly: Perfect for getting the kiddos involved—they’ll have a blast making (and eating!) these treats. Ready to dive into donut heaven? Let’s get baking! 🎉🍩 Mini Glazed Donuts Servings – 18 Prep and Dry Time – 15 Minutes Cook Time – 15 Minutes Ingredients: Donuts 1 box cake mix, your favorite flavor - I used yellow for this recipe 1 egg 1/4 cup oil 1 cup water Glaze 1 tbsp butter 1.5 cups powdered sugar 1-2 Tablespoon(s) milk Directions: Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray donut pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. If you do not have a donut pan you can also use a regular sized or mini muffin tin. Whisk together dry cake mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water until combined. Pour batter into a large, gallon sized plastic bag and snip off small portion of one corner. Squeeze donut mix into prepared donut pan until cups are about 1/2 full. Bake at 350° F for 12-14 minutes. Let donuts cool in pan for about 5-10 minutes then remove and let cool completely on wire rack. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together butter, powdered sugar, and milk until just combined. Dip the cooled donut about 1/2 way into the glaze then lift and turn sideways to let extra run off. Place back on wire cooling rack; sprinkle with optional sprinkles, jimmies, or decorate if desired. Repeat with remaining donuts. Let dry completely. Glaze will slightly harden; you can then stack on a pretty tray for serving. Serve and enjoy! Notes: 💡 CWT tip: “Pipe” The Batter Spray the donut molds with nonstick spray! It makes it so much easier to pour the batter into a large resealable plastic bag, then snip off one corner and use that to “pipe” the batter into the mini donut pan, filling the bottom well. 💡 CWT tip: Glazing Mini Donuts The glaze should be somewhat runny. Dip the mini donut halfway into the glaze, then turn the donut sideways to allow extra glaze to run off. Let the glazed mini donut firm up on a cooling rack, adding sprinkles immediately if desired. After a few hours, the glaze gets firm enough so you can stack your cake mix donuts on a plate without smooshing. If you want to fully glaze the entire donut, completely submerge each side one at a time into the glaze and place on rack for excess to run off. 💡 CWT tip: Glaze Consistency You’ll need to experiment a little with how thick or thin you like your glaze – thin glaze dries fairly clear, allowing the color of the donut to show through, while a thicker glaze stays opaque white. If you want pretty donuts, allow them to cool completely before glazing – the glaze doesn’t look as nice if it melts on a hot donut. But hot donuts taste great, so if you want to glaze and eat them immediately, go for it! I won't deny you that! 🙃🍩 Nutrition: Calories: 142 | Carbohydrates: 18g | Protein: 2g | Fat: 8g | Saturated Fat: 3g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g | Monounsaturated Fat: 3g | Trans Fat: 0.1g | Cholesterol: 19mg | Sodium: 206mg | Potassium: 99mg | Fiber: 1g | Sugar: 10g | Calcium: 51mg | Iron: 1mg This website is the project of an unpaid hobby,  fully maintained and supported by CWT.

A Composition Notebook Redesign! " A great DIY journal that can be super stylish and even better than those extra fancy expensive designer journals just aren't in the normal budget! " Who says DIY journals can’t be super stylish? ✨ Plus, they’re an awesome budget-friendly alternative when those fancy designer notebooks feel a little too pricey. Today, I’m spilling all the secrets on how to totally transform a plain old composition notebook into something uniquely YOU — using supplies you probably already have lying around! 🎨📓 I’ve been sitting on this post for a couple of months and I’m so pumped to finally share it with you! One of my favorite moments in my journaling/planning routine is cracking open a brand new notebook — it’s like a fresh adventure waiting to happen. Now, I keep a stash of high-quality notebooks on hand so I’m always ready to start a new project whenever inspiration strikes. But if you’re just dipping your toes into journaling or planner life (or, hey, “planner-ing” — yes, I just made that a word! 😜💜), or if you’re watching your wallet, those designer notebooks can be intimidating. They often run $10-$20 each, while you can grab composition notebooks for just 50 cents to $2. Score, right? 🙌 I’m going to show you how to turn a plain, boring composition notebook into a chic DIY journal you’ll love using for planning, bullet journaling, studying, doodling, daily journaling, scrapbooking, creative writing — you name it! I seriously adore those classic black marble composition notebooks. You can find them almost anywhere, and they’re the perfect blank canvas for your DIY journal magic. Customize the cover, add an index, toss in some pockets — the possibilities are endless! Plus, they’re lightweight, budget-friendly, perfectly sized for comfy writing, and the paper develops that charming crinkly texture the more you use it. There’s just something about these notebooks that totally wins my heart every time. Ahhh, stationery love! 🙃💜 DIY Journal Planner Notebook A Composition Notebook Redesign Materials: Here’s what I used to create my DIY journal—but trust me, these aren’t the only options! Start with whatever you’ve got on hand, then mix and match with new colors and materials to make it your own. 🎨✨ Composition notebook: Lined notebooks are everywhere, and I’m a big fan of college ruled—but sometimes wide ruled works better, depending on the project! You can usually snag them for less than a buck, especially during back-to-school sales (hello, 2 for $1 deals!). If you’re a fan of grid or dot paper for journaling, those work great too! Mod Podge or double-sided tape: I usually go for the paper craft Mod Podge or the dishwasher-safe kind because that’s what’s in my stash. But when I’m feeling impatient (which is often 😂), I love using thin double-sided tape—no drying time needed! Scrapbook paper or gift wrap: I used scrapbook paper here because of all the fun colors and patterns, but leftover gift wrap works wonders too! If your wrapping paper is a bit thin, just glue a piece of printer paper behind it to hide that black-and-white marble pattern. Bonus: it makes your cover extra sturdy! Colored duct tape: I found this sparkly green one at my local dollar store, and it screamed Disney magic! It matched perfectly with some of my scrapbook paper designs — talk about serendipity! ✨💚 A flat paintbrush: Use one you don’t mind getting messy, because you’ll be dipping it in glue. It’s all part of the fun! A sponge brush Great for smooth, even gluing without a fuss. Scissors Your trusty crafting sidekick. A sharp craft knife For those precise cuts that scissors can’t handle. A cutting mat or board: I finally treated myself to a self-healing mat (game changer!), but you can grab a small paper-craft cutting mat at the dollar store, or even use a sturdy cardboard box to protect your table. (Trust me, I’ve had my share of “Oops!” moments! 😅) Ready to get crafty yet? Let’s do this! 🎉✂️💜 Directions: Step 1: Let’s Get Started! Begin by spreading a thin, even layer of Mod Podge, double-sided tape, or any adhesive you love all over your composition notebook. If you’re using tape, place strips along all the edges and a few in the middle. If you’re working with Mod Podge, move quickly so the glue doesn’t dry—then smooth it out with your sponge brush. Smooth... smooth... smooth! Pay extra attention to the edges to make sure your paper sticks perfectly all around. If your decorative paper is thick enough to hide that classic marble pattern, you can skip right to Step 2 from here! 💡 CWT Tip: To keep glue off your pages, hold the cover away from the notebook when applying glue around the edges. Use your sponge brush to smooth everything out perfectly. If your decorative paper is light or a bit thin, you’ll want to hide that marble pattern with a white layer first. While your glue or Mod Podge is still wet, place a sheet of white printer paper onto the front cover, starting at the spine and smoothing outward. Make sure there are no air bubbles and everything is stuck down tight. Repeat on the back cover, then let it dry for at least two hours before moving on. Otherwise, jump right into your decorative paper and head over to Step 3! Once that first layer is dry, grab your craft knife and carefully trim the excess paper right up to the edges of the cover on both front and back. Now you’ve got a neat, clean white notebook ready for the next step! Step 2: The Star of the Show! Now for the fun part—your decorative paper! I love grabbing scrapbook paper on clearance or from Amazon, but wrapping paper scraps or any craft paper will work beautifully. 💡 CWT Tip: If you’re using gift wrap, cut it down to a manageable size first. Just like before, apply a thin, even coat of Mod Podge over your white base layer. Work quickly and smooth it out with your sponge brush—smooth, smooth, smooth! Step 3: Stick That Beauty Down! While the glue is still wet (yes, seriously—this is super important!), gently lay your decorative paper starting at the spine and smooth outward. Once both sides are covered, let your notebook dry for 2 hours. 💡 CWT Tip: If your notebook warps a bit as it dries, no worries! Just place a heavy book on top to help it flatten back out. Personally, I love the taping method because no waiting for glue to dry. I fold over the long edge first, then corners, then the smaller edges, wrapping everything neatly inside the covers. If you prefer the craft knife method, just trim away any excess paper carefully. Step 4: Finish the Inside! Cut a piece of matching or coordinating paper to fit the inside front and back covers. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to glue it down for a polished, finished look. You can stop here—or go the extra mile and add a cute pocket! Adding a pocket: Cut a piece of matching paper or cardstock about 3 inches smaller than the notebook’s long edge. Apply a thin line of glue around three edges, then stick it inside the cover starting at the spine and smoothing out any air bubbles. Let it dry completely. Step 5: Trim Again! Once everything’s dry and secure, go around the edges one last time with your craft knife to clean up any leftover paper. Step 6 (Optional): Seal the Deal! For extra durability, give your whole notebook one final coat of Mod Podge. Pay close attention to those edges—they’re the first to lift from wear and tear or being tossed in your bag. This extra layer protects your journal from sticky fingers and coffee spills too! Bonus: the paper formula dries matte and not sticky or shiny. Step 7: Dress Up the Spine! Cover the spine with colorful duct tape that complements your paper. Depending on your notebook, it might take a couple of strips. Smooth out any bubbles and trim the edges with scissors for a clean finish. And Voila! 💜 You’ve got yourself a gorgeous DIY journal, ready to fill with all your brilliant ideas. These are perfect for bullet journaling, planning, travel notes, doodling—you name it! They also make thoughtful gifts for teachers, writers, teens, or that aspiring entrepreneur in your life.

I sell fabric covered composition notebook over on Etsy. I would add to pay particular attention to the edges and make sure they are firmly glued down. As you use this notebook the edges take a beating and the paper will lift if not firmly secured. If that happens you can always put tape around the edge, from the outside folded over to the inside — this will give added protection and a cute edge. "

Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan; set aside. Mix together cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, milk, water, and eggs in a large bowl until well-blended. Gently fold 1 and 1/2 cups of the shredded coconut into the batter with a spatula. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven until top is springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Wait.... Before you turn off the oven! Spread the remaining 1 cup of shredded coconut evenly onto a baking sheet. I used a 9″ x 13″ sheet pan. Bake the coconut for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently with a large spoon or spatula to prevent burning, until the coconut is lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from oven and cool completely. Cool cake thoroughly in the pan for at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours before inverting it onto a plate. 💡 CWT tip:   flip the serving dish/platter over and place on top of the bundt pan. Flip everything over onto the serving dish. Coconut Icing When you are ready to ice the bundt cake, time to make the icing! In a small bowl or a small container with a spout (like a glass measuring cup), whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, coconut and vanilla extracts until smooth. If it is too thin for your preference, add more powdered sugar 1 Tablespoon at a time. Slowly pour the coconut icing onto the bundt cake, allowing it to seep into, and flowingly fall down both sides of the cake. While the icing is still wet, sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut over the top of the cake; slightly pushing it into the sides and top of the cake. Allow the icing to set before serving, about 1 hour. Store leftovers covered tightly at room temperature up to 3 days. Notes: This Bundt cake freezes well, wrapped tightly, up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature. If you would like to add a slight dusting over the top of the cake, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar right before serving. Again, this is complately optional.

" Easy delicious orange pound cake recipe soaked with a citrusy sweet glaze and topped with a vanilla orange glazed icing. Super light, and so refreshing! " 🍊💛 This Orange Glazed Pound Cake is truly something special and on point! 🍰✨ Bursting with fresh orange zest and juice baked right into the cake, and then topped off with not one but two dreamy glazes (hello, orange juice, zest and vanilla!), every single bite is packed with creamy, citrusy goodness. It’s soft, tender, perfectly moist, super easy to make—and honestly? You’re going to want seconds (and thirds)! The inspiration for this cake goes waaay back to the early 2000s during a sunny trip to California. I had the sweetest encounter with a lovely business owner who generously let me pick fresh oranges and lemons from the six citrus trees in her yard. These beauties were huge —like, literally the size of my head! I brought them home (not without an entertaining airport security story 🤭) and got right to baking. First up was my beloved Lucious Lemon Bundt Cake but once I turned my attention to the oranges, I knew I wanted something rich, creamy, and full of sunshine. After a few tweaks to the lemon cake recipe and several rounds of testing (yes, I had to make sure it was just right!), this Orange Glazed Pound Cake was born. I truly hope you give it a try—and fall in love with it just like I did. Happy baking! 🍊💛 Orange Glazed Pound Cake Servings – 12 Prep Time – 10 Minutes Cook Time – 60 Minutes Ingredients: Cake 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix 1 boxed orange cake mix, yellow cake mix will also suffice - orange is not available in all areas. 4 eggs 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 cup orange juice 2 Tablespoons orange zest Soaking Glaze 1/2 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup white sugar 3/4 cup orange juice Top Glaze & Garnish 2 cups Powdered sugar 3 Tablespoons orange juice, milk can also be in place of juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 Tablespoon orange zest sliced orange wedges, optional Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large bundt pan. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, water, melted butter, and eggs together. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in zest, stir until combined. Pour batter into bundt pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until knife inserted in cake comes out clean. In a small sauce pan; combine the butter or margarine, sugar, vanilla and orange juice in a saucepan. Boil this mixture for about 2 minutes. While cake is still warm, poke holes in the top of the cake with a fork. Pour orange juice mixture over cake; let soak in. Combine powdered sugar, orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest and vanilla. When the cake is saturated place it on a plate, and drizzle over icing in a back and forth swiping pattern. Decorate with orange wedges is desired. 🍊💛 Notes: 🍰✨ Dust top of cake with powdered sugar in place of top glaze a different lighter option.

Keto, Low-Carb, Sugar-Free, Gluten Free Healthy Options "Soft, fluffy, and filled with flavor—this chef-style omelet is your new breakfast go-to. With just a few simple ingredients and the right technique, you can whip up restaurant-quality eggs right at home in minutes." 🥚 Fluffy Chef-Style Omelets: The Secret to a Perfect Breakfast Every Time There’s something undeniably satisfying about a perfectly cooked omelet — golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and filled with your favorite savory ingredients. But what if I told you that making a fluffy chef-style omelet at home is easier than you think? Whether you’re making breakfast for one or brunch for a crowd, this simple method will have you flipping omelets like a pro — light, airy, and packed with flavor. 👩🏻‍🍳 What Makes a “Chef-Style” Omelet Different? A chef-style omelet is not your typical diner version that’s thin and folded in half. Think of it as the elegant, French-inspired upgrade — pillowy, tender, and folded with precision . The secret? A little technique, a good nonstick skillet, and a whisk (or fork) with enthusiasm! Fluffy Chefs Omelette Servings: 2 Prep Time: 10 Minutes Chill Time: 10 Minutes Ingredients: 4 large eggs salt and pepper, to taste 2 Tablespoon water or cream 3 oz ham steak or deli ham, chopped and optional 3 sprigs fresh chives, chopped 1/2 cup cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon Crème Fraîche or sour cream 1 Tablespoon butter for pan Instructions: Preheat frying pan on low heat. Crack eggs into medium sized mixing bowl and add water or cream. Whisk vigorously for at least 30 seconds — you're adding air for that fluffy texture! Add salt and pepper to taste. Melt the butter and swirl to coat the pan. Pour in the eggs. Let them sit for just a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges toward the center. This creates layers! Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly glossy on top, stop stirring. Add your fillings down the center. Fold like a pro. Carefully fold one side of the omelet over the fillings, then the other, like a letter. Slide onto a plate seam-side down. Garnish and serve! Add fresh herbs, cracked pepper, or a little grated cheese on top for that fancy finish; or my favorite top with crème Fraîche or sour cream and garnish with chopped chives! Notes: 💡 Tips for the Fluffiest Omelet Ever Whisk thoroughly: The more air you incorporate, the lighter your eggs will be. Don’t overcook: Slightly undercooked eggs will continue to set off the heat. Use room temperature eggs if you can — they cook more evenly. Try a splash of seltzer water instead of milk for an extra lift (a fun chef trick!). 🍽️ Favorite Filling Ideas Classic: Sharp cheddar + diced ham Fresh & herby: Goat cheese + chopped chives + spinach Southwest style: Pepper jack + sautéed onions + bell peppers + avocado Mushroom medley: Sautéed mushrooms + Gruyère + thyme 🥄 In a Rush? Make it Ahead Whisk your eggs and prep your fillings the night before. Store separately, then just heat and cook in the morning for a fast, fluffy breakfast. 🧂Final Thoughts Omelets are one of those magical dishes that feel fancy , but are actually super quick and easy to make once you’ve got the technique down. They’re versatile, comforting, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re serving brunch guests or treating yourself to a cozy breakfast, this fluffy chef-style omelet is sure to impress. 🥰🍳 Nutrition: Calories 400 | Carbs 6g | Fiber 0 | Cholesterol 425mg | Net Carbs 6g | Protein 26g | Sodium 1080mg | Fat 27.5g This website is the project of an unpaid hobby,  fully maintained and supported by CWT.

An American Classic " Grilling season is upon us, and this year it's time to master the art of America’s summertime grilling favorite—the hamburger. " The Ultimate Weeknight Burger: Easy, Flavorful, and Crowd-Pleasing 🍔🔥 Let’s be honest—everyone wants that burger. The one that’s easy enough to whip up after a long day, flavorful enough for the person who piles on every condiment in the fridge, and still satisfying for the “just ketchup, please” minimalist. Basically, the burger that checks all the boxes. In our house, we’re big fans of cooking burgers indoors, searing them on a hot, slick cast iron skillet (highly recommend!) or an indoor grill. But when that smoky, chargrilled flavor calls your name? Nothing beats a good old-fashioned grill. Charcoal is king when it comes to depth of flavor, but a gas grill can still get the job done beautifully. Now, a little word of advice from the grill-side: don’t smash your burgers with the spatula while they cook! As tempting as it is, pressing down only forces out all those flavorful juices and fats—sending them straight into the fire and leaving your burger dry and flat. Instead, let the heat do the work. 🔥 If the grill’s running too hot, just move the patties to the cooler side for a little breather. And don’t forget— closing the lid helps melt the cheese faster , if that’s your thing. Speaking of... cheese or no cheese? That’s a hot debate in our house. 😄 What’s your burger style? Grilled Burgers Servings – 6 Prep Time – 10 Min Cook Time – 8 Min Ingredients: 2 pounds (32 ounces) 80/20 ground beef, cold 2 cloves garlic, minced finely 2 tablespoons onion, minced 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 6 hamburger buns Butter for buns Directions: Put the cold ground beef in mixing bowl. Add in onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt. Fold the meat over a few times to get everything incorporated. This entire process should only take about 30 to 45 seconds. Don’t over handle the meat. Rather than forming the patties in your hand, form them on a tray. This makes it easier to shape the patties without over-handling or warming the meat. I prefer to use a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, but any tray or platter will do. On the tray, divide the meat into 6 equal parts (about 5 1/4 ounces each). Gently form each portion into a patty that is 4-inches across with 1-inch sides and create a shallow depression in the middle. You want the outer 1/2 inch of the patty to be slightly taller than the inside. This keeps the patty from shrinking too much and from puffing up in the center during grilling. This helps cook the burger evenly and it will create an even level. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge while you heat up your grill and butter your buns. 🙃 Heat a gas or charcoal grill to 450 to 500°, or hot enough that you can only hold your hand above the grill grates for about 1 second. Butter the insides of all the buns and set them aside; near the grill. Place patties on the grill over direct heat. Cook to your desired doneness: For rare burgers , cook for 4 minutes total (125°F) For medium-rare burgers, cook for 5 minutes total (135°F) For medium burgers, cook for 6 to 7 minutes total (145°F) For well-done burgers, cook for 8 to 9 minutes total (160°F) Flip the burgers only once during cooking. Do not press down on the patties at any time. When you have about 1 minute left on the cooking time, add the cheese to the burgers and the buttered buns to the grill over indirect heat. Remove burgers and buns from grill and transfer to a clean platter. Let the burgers rest for 1 minute before serving. Serve with mayonnaise, blue cheese sauce, sautéed mushrooms, Thousand Island, or th e classic and always wonderful lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion! Notes: This recipe will make 6 burgers that are 1/3 pound each. The patties should be 4 inches across and 1 inch thick at the edges before cooking. In general, follow these total grilling times: For rare burgers , cook for 4 minutes total (125°F) For medium-rare burgers, cook for 5 minutes total (135°F) For medium burgers, cook for 6 to 7 minutes total (145°F) For well-done burgers, cook for 8 to 9 minutes total (160 °F) With that said, ultimately, the time it takes for a hamburger to reach a certain temperature depends on how hot your grill is and how thick your patty is. In my experiences, my 1-inch thick, 4-inch diameter patties were medium done at 5 minutes total (2 1/2 minutes on each side), and well done at 6 minutes total (3 minutes on each side). So it will all depend on your liking of grilled burgers.

Why? Because it transforms them into this ultra-fragrant, fine-textured lemon sugar that seriously packs a punch. It’s like giving your dough a head start on flavor fireworks! —it’s the  game-changer. Pulsing the zest and sugar together does three fabulous things: Breaks everything down nice and fine, Releases natural lemon oil (hello, juicy flavor!), Infuses every bite with sunshine before the butter even hits the bowl. Cornstarch: Okay, here’s the 2nd secret weapon! A little bit of cornstarch makes these cookies lighter, softer, and more tender than your average shortbread. Think melt-in-your-mouth magic ✨ I also sneak it into other cookies too, since I have figured out the magic secret to better cookie-ing —shhh! From there, it’s one-bowl wonder time!

In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer with a paddle, beat the lemon sugar and butter on high until creamy (2–3 minutes). Scrape the bowl as needed. Add lemon juic, honey and vanilla, and beat until combined. Add flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix on low to start, then on medium until dough clumps together; about 1–3 minutes. Dough will be thick and soft. Roll dough on a floured parchment or silicone mat to 1/4–1/2 inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet and chill for at least 3 hours (or up to 2 days). Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Cut out cookies with a cutter. Re-roll scraps and repeat. If dough softens, chill shapes for 15 minutes before baking.

Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Glaze; Sift the confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl. Add the milk and melted butter and whisk until smooth. If the icing is too thick, whisk in additional whole milk 1 teaspoon at a time until thinner. If desired, whisk in food coloring. Dip cookies into icing or use a spoon to spread it into a thin layer on tops of cookies. Let the cookies sit at room temperature until the glaze fully sets, about 1-2 hours. minutes. Notes: Storing cookies: Iced cookies: Store at room temp for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Plain cookies: Store at room temp for up to 5 days. Once icing sets, cookies can be stacked for storage or transport. Don't want to glaze your cookies? No problem!

And let’s be real—who wants to be stuck in a hot kitchen baking dessert when you could be soaking up those golden rays? That’s exactly why no-bake keto desserts are a total summer lifesaver ! ☀️ If you’re living that sugar-free, low-carb, or keto lifestyle, you know how exciting it is to bring a treat you can actually enjoy— and one that everyone else will love too! Enter: this easy Keto Cannoli Dip . It’s creamy, dreamy, and so delicious that even your non-keto friends will be begging for the recipe! Honestly? You could just grab a spoon and eat it straight from the bowl (no judgment—I’ve 100% done that). Just a little scoop totally satisfies that sweet craving! But if you wanna get fancy, I’ve got some super fun serving ideas that make it perfect for sharing at your next summer gathering. Think: healthier twist on that classic marshmallow fruit dip—except this one’s lower in carbs and higher in yum. 🍓 The idea for this dip actually came from a luscious old-school custard recipe—think egg yolks, sugar, orange juice, and whipped cream folded in to make the fluffiest, richest dessert. When I started my Trim Healthy Wifey journey and ditched sugar, I thought indulgent treats like that were a thing of the past... But guess what? A few months in, I realized I could totally recreate the magic—with a few tweaks and zero sugar. And honestly? I think it’s even better this way. Guilt-free, crazy good, and summer-party ready. 🙌💕 Keto Cannoli Dip Servings – 12 Prep Time – 5 Minutes Chill Time: 30 Minutes Ingredients: 8 oz Cream Cheese - softened 1 .3oz packet of sugar free cheesecake pudding mix 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 1/2 cup zero sugar Hershey's chocolate chips 8 oz Cool Whip Zero Sugar Directions: In a large bowl; beat together the cream cheese and sugar free pudding mix until smooth and creamy. You can use a stand mixer (paddle attachment) or hand mixer (beater attachment) to do this. Stir in the vanilla extract. Using a rubber spatula carefully fold in the Cool Whip topping. Cutting the center and folding over once to the right. Refrigerate dip for at least 30 minutes to an hour is recommended; but that is optional, to allow the ingredients to set. Serve dip with fresh fruit, sugar free keto cookies, or with your favorite healthy snack... You can even eat it as is to satisfy that sweet tooth! But I won't tell anyone! 🤣 Notes You can change the flavor by adding different sugar free pudding mix and flavored zero sugar chips! Rememeber...

Keto - Low Carb - Sugar Free - Healthy Option "Absolutely delicious! You will never know these were a healthy option for you. The entire family will love them and best of all you can customize them to your taste buds!" These bagels… oh my goodness, THESE bagels! Golden, fluffy, perfectly chewy keto bagels — they’ve completely stolen my heart. 💛 No matter how my eating habits change over time, I just know I’ll be making these forever. I have been making these for about 10 years now, and they are my go to Keto break through choice. That’s how obsessed I am… and here’s why: 🥯 They’re tall, puffy, and seriously chewy – Like, real bagel chewy. Not cakey or flimsy — I’m talking that satisfying bite you dream of. And get this: no wheat, no carbs! I built this recipe off my go-to keto pizza dough (a forever favorite), but gave it a glow-up to make sure they stay plump and don’t flatten out. ⏱️ Fast and foolproof – Just 5 simple ingredients and 30 minutes later, you’ll have warm, homemade bagels in your hands. YES, really. You’ve totally got this. 🌰 Pick your flour adventure – Coconut or almond flour? You choose! No dietary restrictions? I’ve got a breakdown below to help you pick the best one for your taste and texture. 💚 Keto, low carb, gluten-free magic – Of course they’re keto (wink wink), but they’re also truly low carb (just 5g net!) and gluten-free — unlike some of the sneaky store-bought options. 🥪 Bagels that go with everything – Toast 'em, spread 'em, stack 'em into the best sandwich ever. These bagels are up for anything your appetite dreams up. Honestly, I’ve experimented with so many keto bread recipes — from cloud bread to buttery garlic and cheese biscuits to my super popular lemon keto loaf — but these? These chewy, golden beauties? They’re in a league of their own. ✨ Come bake them with me — you're going to fall in love. 🥰 Keto Bagels Servings: 6 Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 15 Minutes Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup almond flour 1 tbsp baking powder 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 2 oz cream cheese 2 large eggs, beaten Optional Toppings Sesame seeds for topping Cinnamon and sugar or substitute mix Everything seasoning for topping Poppy seeds Coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the almond flour and baking powder, removing clumps. Set aside. Combine shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, stir and mix until incorporated. Stir the flour mixture and eggs into the melted cheese mixture. Working quickly while the cheese is still hot, knead with your hands until a dough forms. The dough is very sticky, but keep kneading and squeezing through your fingers for a few minutes. (If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, and is difficult to mix, or is still sticky after a couple minutes, you can microwave to reheat for 15-20 seconds to soften it. In that case, wash your hands and knead again. Dough needs to be well formed before starting the rolling for bagel shapes. To make this step easier to mix the dough, you can use mixer with a dough attachment instead of kneading by hand. Knead... Knead... Knead! It's the secret to puffy, chewy bagels! Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form/roll a 6″ log shape between hands with each part, then press the ends together to make a bagel shape, place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Sprinkle with desired toppings. If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the bagels and gently press into the dough. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bagels are firm and golden. Notes: Get creative with your bagels!: Try mixing in goodies like fresh blueberries 🫐or strawberries 🍓 , sugar-free dried cranberries, chopped nuts 🥜 , caramelized onions 🧅 , minced garlic, or a cozy combo of cinnamon and a few tablespoons of sweetener. Or, keep it simple and savory with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning (my personal fave!) or classic poppy seeds. Just a heads-up: if you add sweetener, the dough will get a bit stickier — so be sure to chill it before shaping! Storing your precious keto bagels: Pop your bagels into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge — they’ll stay fresh and fabulous for up to a whole week! 🥯💛 Freezing (my favorite trick!): I always make a double (okay… sometimes triple 😄) batch of these and freeze the extras. They freeze beautifully for up to 6 months! Just make sure they’ve cooled completely, then tuck them into zip-top bags with a little parchment paper between each one — no sticking, no fuss! 🥯 Serving Ideas – So many yummy ways to enjoy! I’m head over heels for these keto bagels — and honestly, I’ll take them any way I can get them! Here are a few of my absolute favorite ways to serve them up: 💖 Spread the love – Cream cheese is a classic (and always delicious!), but don’t stop there. Try butter, peanut butter, sugar-free Nutella, or a fruity sugar-free jam. My personal favorite? A dap of butter spread over the warm bagel, and then a thick swipe of mascarpone or cream cheese topped with sugar-free raspberry jam. Pure heaven! Can you tell I love food!?! 😋🤤 🐟 Bagel & Lox, please! – One of my go-to lunches: a keto bagel loaded with cream cheese, silky smoked salmon (or homemade lox!), and crunchy cucumbers, red onion, or capers. It’s so fresh, so flavorful — and totally satisfying. 🍳 Breakfast Sandwich Goals – Stack it up with eggs, bacon or sausage, and melty cheese. Warm it up and boom — best breakfast ever. You can even swap the pancakes in my keto breakfast sandwich recipe with these bagels for extra chew and bite! 🥪 Lunchtime Loves – Fill your bagel with keto chicken salad, tuna egg salad, or a classic keto BLT. Or keep it simple and tasty with sliced turkey, crisp lettuce, and a dollop of homemade mayo. Toasty warm goodness – reheating tips: The toaster is your BFF here — it’s quick, easy, and makes them taste freshly baked! I use the bagel setting, and if they’re coming straight from the freezer, I hit the frozen button too. Microwave works in a pinch, but heads-up: they’ll be super soft (still yummy, though!). Now go enjoy your bagel stash like the kitchen hero you are! 🏆✨ However you slice it, these bagels are ready for anything! 😍 Nutrition: Calories 360 | Fat 28g | Protein 21g | Carbs 8g | Net Carbs 5g | Fiber 3g | Sugar 1g This website is the project of an unpaid hobby,  fully maintained and supported by CWT.

🔥 Super Hot Post - 24K+ Views on Reddit in 24 hours! "These bakery style cookies are going to be your favorite as they are mine. They have become so popular since I perfected them. Soft, Chewy, Chocolatey and Delicious!" “ I have always said... "It's not worth turning on the oven if I don't have walnuts to go in my chocolate chip cookies or brownies!" These cookies have changed my mind on this phrase... But only if I am not feeling like a nut that day! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 Super soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the most popular cookie recipe I own. Years to perfect, making changes every time I baked a batch over the years. There are multiple ingredients and steps to this perfect recipe and I will reveal the secrets! These have the absolute chewiest chocolate chip cookie texture. Many tweaks to "The One With Phoebe's Cookies - " Nesele Toulouse " 🤭 (WYKYK) over the years I have finally mastered the best chocolate chip cookies ever!” 🍪 Chewy Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies Servings – 16 XL or 20 large cookies Prep Time – 10 Minutes Cook Time - 14 Minutes Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 3/4 teaspoons cornstarch 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter or margarine, melted 3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg & 1 egg yolk 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, or combination of both 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional - amount depends on your individual taste, I add 3/4 cup. Instructions: Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. This will sift and incorporate all the ingredients together. You can use a fork if you do not have a whisk. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg and yolk; then whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture will be thinner than you are use to. Pour in the combined dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft at first, then thicken, and may seem a little crumbly; this is perfect. Fold in the chocolate chips/chunks and optional walnuts. The chocolate chips may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter or margarine, do your best to combine them. I promise... it will all come together. This was part of my trial and error process. You can push them into the balls of dough as you roll them once the dough chills. Cover the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours or up to 3 days, if you don't plan on baking them right away. (If I do this... the dough will be gone before I get to bake them... Yeah, not supposed to eat raw dough... blah blah blah... I'm still alive and healthy over all these years!... Just saying...) 🤷🏻‍♀️🤭🤣 * Chilling the dough causes less spreading and is the most super duper crucial part of the making of the chewy and soft part of these cookies. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to slightly soften at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. Using a tablespoon measuring spoon (I personally love using ice cream scoops with the releaser in them.. Makes for easier and proportioned cookies.) measure 3 Tablespoons of dough. Roll into a ball, making the shape rather taller than wide—almost like a tubular shape. Do NOT flatten or pat down... I know we all have the tendancies to want to do this for some reason! (Like some will smash down a hamburger before eating it) his will ensure the cookies bake up thicker for that chewy part we want. Repeat with remaining dough. Place 6-8 balls of dough onto cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 14 minutes (15-16 for XL) or until the edges are very lightly browned. The centers will look soft and almost undercooked, but the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. You can press in a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the warm cookies. This just gives them the WOW factor!... ok and of coarse more chocolate... Who doesn't like more chocolate right?... Am I right? After 15 minutes of cooling on the baking sheet, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Let them sit without touching for at least 20 minutes if you can help yourself... trust me... I always end up with what I call "pizza mouth" = which is burning the roof of your mouth with the hot cheese and sauce.. in this case it would be a hot chocolate chip! WHY? Because I have to eat one! ok...ok... two! 🤭🤣🤪🫣🍪 Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Notes: Want to freeze and make the dough ahead of time? You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature for 15 minutes then continue with baking process. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. (They never last that long for me once I bake them!) 🐽🤭 Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute or two, no need to thaw. These are great to have on hand when unexpected guests come over. You can pop them in the over really quick and have fresh cookies at your finger tips! Can I add different add-ins?   Of course you can! Like I always say.... Play with your food! Just keep the total amount of chosen add-ins around 1/2 - 1 cup, you can add whatever your heart desires. Try other chopped nuts such as pecans, peanuts, or even macadamia nuts, M&Ms, other chips like white chocolate chips, cream cheese chips, butterscotch or even mint chips, dried cranberries or other chopped fruits you like, chopped up heath bars, or peanut butter cups, etc. I personally like to add an added 1/2 cup of mini M&M's or Reese's Pieces. You can even add 1/2 cup sprinkles to give them color for a fun occasion. ( Great for sending a tray with the kiddos for their Birthday to share with the class... Just leave out any nuts if doing this.) And FINALLY... The SECRETS you have all been waiting for... Pièce de résistance... DUN DUN.... 🤣 An extra egg yolk and melted butter/margarine increases the chewy factor. More brown sugar than white sugar gives additional moisture from the molasses for a softer cookie, and rich coloring. Cornstarch produces a soft and thick cookies Chilling the dough results in a thicker cookie. This is SUPER important! - I have finally learned this over the years.. I was ALWAYS impatient and wanted the cookies NOW.. Which always ended up in a melted looking crispy, cunchy, brittle cookie. Hey they were still good... just crmpled over ice cream! Check out my Bloopers page coming in 2025! Rolling the chilled cookie dough balls into a more lumpy, tubular, mounded shape rather than a full, smooth looking round ball makes the cookies the bakery-style textured thickness I am referring to.

Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or savory, the keto egg loaf has your back. 🧡 Ready to bake? Let’s do this! 🎉🍳 French Toast Egg Loaf Servings: 8 Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 40-50 Minutes Ingredients: 8 oz cream cheese, softened/melted 8 large eggs 4 Tablespoon butter, melted 6 tablespoons of coconut flour, leveled or 1/3 cup almond flour, packed lightly 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg, optional 1 Tablespoon sweetener of choice, I use sucralose, Stevia or Truvia 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract 1 tsp maple extract, optional 💡 CWT Tip: If you prefer a more custard style loaf for a dessert, remove the flour and baking powder and continue with the recipe as normal. Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a 9x3" loaf/bread pan or 11×7 baking dish by greasing the bottom with butter or baking spray - Be sure to check your can for nutritional facts as some may carry additional carbs and fats. Add cream cheese, and butter into a bowl. Melt in microwave for 1 minute. Add in eggs, spices, almond flour and sweetener of choice. Blend until smooth and a liquid consistency. Pour into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and or nutmeg if you wish this is completely optional. Bake at 350 for 40 -50 minutes for 9x3" loaf/bread pan; or 30 minutes for 11x7" baking dish. Place a skewer in the center; it should come out clean. Let the loaf sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. This helps keep its perfect shape and stops it from sinking in the middle. Drizzle with sugar free maple syrup, and top with fresh berries and a light dusting of extra cinnamon. Refrigerate remaining loaf covered tightly for up to 4 days. Notes: The egg loaf will puff up significantly while baking, so be sure your pan is deep enough to prevent overflow. It will also deflate and settle as it cools. I always put my loaf pan on a baking sheet for extra measure and less hassle of overflows in the oven. You'll thank me later! This recipe is mildly sweet to pair well with sugar-free syrup. If you prefer a sweeter loaf, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of sweetener. To reheat, wrap the loaf in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. Let it rest for a few minutes to cool and firm up before serving. For an even fluffier version, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff in a separate bowl. Then fold the egg whites into the batter at the very end. This will produce more stability in the center of the egg loaf that holds its shape and won't sink in the middle. 🥄 Tasty Serving Ideas: Keto Toast or Pancake Swap  – Lightly fry a slice in butter until golden, then drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup and top with your fave keto berries. Yum! French Toast Delight  – Add a pat of butter to a small frying pan, Whisk 1 egg with a tablespoon of cream in a plate. Place a slice or two into the egg mixture and coat each side. Lightly fry in pan until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Place on a clean plate drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup, and fresh berries. Welcome your new favorite keto French toast recipe. So fluffy. So satisfying. Soooooooo good! Dessert - Drizzle with sugar-free chocolate, honey or fruit syrup, top with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon. Totally optional toppings... But it's one amazing way to have a dessert... ON KETO! 💡 CWT Tip: Storage - Pop any leftovers into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days . Want to make it last even longer? Freeze it! Just slice it first and you’ll have ready-to-go pieces for up to 3 months . When you're ready to eat, just thaw at room temp – easy peasy!
