Do you know the Brazilians’ secret for cooking those delicious meats on the grill? Marinate them! Preparing a tasty marinade takes just a few minutes and the flavored oil penetrates the meat, adding more flavor and helping it turn out juicier and more tender.

We make it with a cookie crust which, although it adds a few extra minutes of initial prep and baking, is worth making—how delicious cheesecake with a cookie base is!

We can't resist sharing this air fryer fried rice recipe. The truth is that air fryers are making their way into more and more homes, because they let us enjoy croquettes, potatoes, or empanadas as tasty as fried ones, but without the guilt.

I love coconut. It's something there's no cure for, so rather than hide my little passion I try to make the most of it. One of my favorite uses is in flans and puddings, and today I'm sharing a recipe that turns out perfectly. More than perfect — you get utterly addictive flans!

I'm sharing a fava bean recipe from my everyday cooking that I love. I adore fava beans. I like them simply sautéed with garlic; on the days I want to indulge I add mozzarella, which when melted is amazing with the fava beans. But the way I enjoy them most is by taking just two more minutes and sautéing them with mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes in oil and pine nuts. What a delicious combination!

If, like me, you love enjoying a good movie and can't imagine doing it without a bowl full of popcorn, I'm going to share a secret to have them ready in less time than it takes you to sit on the couch, without making a mess, and on the stovetop!

We’ve been celebrating the discounts at Nordic Ware, and I’m joining the celebration with this Coconut and Vanilla Loaf Cake topped with salted caramel glaze — it turns out amazing.

You can make mini blondies in Nordic Ware mini-bundlettes molds! This caramel blondie recipe is utterly delicious and gives you a bite ready in no time. Its buttery flavor and the aroma of brown sugar are delightful, and it’s a great way to present classic blondie bars in a beautiful format, thanks to the finish the Nordic Ware mini-bundlettes mold provides.

We were inspired by the popular Hasselback potatoes to turn very ordinary chicken breasts into a decidedly festive dish: today we’re making Hasselback Chicken with tomato and mozzarella in a spicy tomato sauce. Or, in other words, chicken breasts stuffed with the boldest flavors of Italy. Delicious.

You'll regret making these mató muffins! Because you'll want to make them over and over. I must warn you that these mató muffins (or, if unavailable, ricotta) filled with jam and topped with an almond flour crumble are some of the tastiest I've made — I think I've found my perfect recipe!
