Earlier this week a great friend of mine texted me asking for my Apple Cider Cupcake recipe. I quickly sent her the link from my handy dandy Tasty app and she replied that I should put that on my blog this week… which got me thinking…
I can’t exactly take credit for the recipe (I wish I was that creative) but I can share with you some of my favorite recipes from Tasty that are household staples. So, without further ado, here are my top 5 favorite recipes currently on Tasty!
** So if you aren’t on the Internets a ton, you may have not heard of a crazy little thing called “Tasty.” Tasty is a brand of the news outlet Buzzfeed and it’s sole focus is food. They have everything from kid friendly recipes, one pot meals, snacks, and full on gourmet meals. They even have an added section for this crazy time called, “Quarantine Cooking.” Their goal is to make sure YOU eat good food. You can visit their website OR download their app from your app store (hint: search for Tasty)! I also recommend following them on all of your social media channels for constant food inspiration.
OMG this is a favorite of mine… it’s a wonderful meal to spoil yourself with (if you like salmon). For being “gourmet” I didn’t feel like it took an obscene amount of time. If you present the dish as they suggest, it feels even more luxurious to eat!
This pasta dish is THE way to my husband’s heart. It’s quick to prepare, filling, and comforting. If you like lemon, if you like chicken, if you like butter, and if you like pasta- search no more! And go make this right away. Hint: I double the recipe so that we always have leftovers AND add extra lemon since my husband has an obsession with all things lemon.
Are you looking for a yummy fall treat to share with no one since you are in quarantine/social distancing? Well, here you go! This cupcake recipe came to my attention about 3 years ago and I made them while we were living in Spain (traditional apple cider like we enjoy here in the states was difficult to find but, luckily, Tasty linked the recipe to homemade apple cider within this one and all of my problems were solved). These became a favorite for my Valencian neighbors and fellow Americans alike!
So, my husband and I are always contemplating going vegetarian and we’ve even taken some steps to reduce meat from our diet. We hope to be more aggressive in the coming year- do you have any transitional tips? Anyways, these baked avocado tacos were one of the first vegetarian recipes that I made that convinced us that, just maybe, we didn’t need meat. They are FULL of flavor, quick to make, and just really freaking enjoyable.
This salad combines the things I love- berries, dressing, and spinach. I randomly tried this recipe when we were going to a lunch thing a few years back and I remember being floored at how good it turned out to be. It’s a great spring and summer addition to any meal and it’s super easy to whip up! I love how fresh it tastes and how light it feels in my tummy. And the fact that I am saying this about salad should count for something.
Anyways, those are my current top faves. Go check out Tasty and start eating.
** And no, I am not paid by them. I am just a fan. Obvi.
