If you can’t find black sesame seeds, you can swap them out for more white sesame seeds. They taste the same, it will just look a little different.
Be sure you use the black toasted sesame seeds as they sell an untoasted option as well. The toasted option is much better.
This recipe is easily cut in half or doubled to make as much as you need.
Be sure to give the seasoning a shake before you use it, as some of the smaller seasonings like to settle more to the bottom. It will give you a more even flavor.
Great as a snack topping!
Perfect for keto.
In conclusion, this is the BEST Everything Bagel Seasoning! It will be a favorite spice blend, perfect on toast, dips, soups – anywhere you want a little crunch.
We go through quite a few tortillas in our home. Between quesadillas, burritos, tacos, cream cheese & meat rollups and even pizzas, it feels like I’m always buying a pack of tortilla shells. That can really add up when a package costs $3 or more!
I knew it was possible to make homemade flour tortillas so I thought I’d try. Let me tell you, they are so easy to make and delicious! (Especially when you eat them when they’re still fresh and warm.)
Making homemade flour tortillas at home is really inexpensive and you most likely have everything in your pantry already. Flour, oil, baking powder and some salt. It will take a bit of time to cook your tortillas but it is still easy. If you think you will be making homemade flour tortillas regularly, you may want to consider purchasing a tortilla pressto make the process easier.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Warm Water
DIRECTIONS
Step 1: Using a stand mixer, whisk dry ingredients until combined. Add water and oil and mix, scraping down the sides as needed until ball forms. Mix for two more minutes until dough is smooth.
Step 2: Turn out onto floured work surface and divide into 16 pieces and roll each into a ball. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
Step 3: Roll out each ball into a 6″ circle.
Step 4: Cook each tortilla on first side for about a minute, until brown spots form, then flip and cook other side for about 20 seconds. (Or use a tortilla press.)
Stack cooked tortillas and wrap in a clean towel to cool.
If not being used immediately, store in a zip lock bag.
These homemade tortillas were so easy and so much better than store bought. I’ll be making these on a regular basis over here. They’re perfect for snacks and for meals. What do you use tortillas for in your house?

Normally I make Oreo Truffles using regular Oreos, but this year I found Gingerbread flavoured Oreos! Of course I had to try making them into Gingerbread Oreo truffles using my regular recipe. Boy, oh boy, are they ever delicious! If these gingerbread oreos are going to be a regular holiday staple each year, I’ll be using them for truffles instead of the regular oreos! Don’t get me wrong, the other truffles are tasty too, they’re always a hit whenever I bring them to gatherings. 🙂
I thought the gingerbread flavour suited white chocolate best and I finished them off with a sprinkle of nutmeg!
Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs with a food processor or use a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin/hammer/rock… 🙂
Add the crumbs to a big bowl with the softened cream cheese. I use my Kitchenaid mixer to mix until it was all well incorporated.
Roll the cream cheese Oreo mixture into 1" balls (or whatever size you’d like) Place on a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
When your truffles are almost finished chilling, start melting the chocolate slowly. (in the microwave or on the stove)
Drop one or two truffles into the melted chocolate and use a fork to remove them, letting the excess chocolate drip. Place them back on the waxed paper.
Now is when you want to add the toppings, before the chocolate hardens.
These Whipped Shortbread Cookies are to die for! They’re simple to make and melt in your mouth. You’ll definitely be making a few batches this season!
Delicious Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Looking for a recipe for delicious Whipped Shortbread Cookies? Well, here you go. This is it! I usually have to make this recipe several times over the Christmas season as my husband and daughters love them! The best part about this shortbread is that it’s so easy to make and only needs three ingredients!
How to make Whipped Shortbread Cookies:
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
Maraschino cherry pieces, if desired
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place softened butter in a bowl, whip with a hand mixer or Stand mixer for one minute.
Add flour 1/2 cup at a time, whipping after after each addition until well incorporated.
Add the powdered sugar and whip again for about 5 minutes (or more).
Place by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheets. Decorate with maraschino cherries, if desired.
Bake in oven for 10 – 11 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly browned.

If you find your cookies are coming out like pancakes, you may need to mix even more. The “secret” to these whipped cookies, is actually the amount of time you spend whipping them. I have only ever had one batch not turn out and I’m sure it’s because I got lazy and didn’t whip them long enough.
A quick and simple snack idea the whole family will love!
Summer calls for delicious, simple snacks. However, I’m definitely not opposed to simple snacks all year round. After all, simple is one of my meal prep mottos. If I think it’s going to take too much time or require too many ingredients I don’t have on hand, I move on. Are you the same? Snacks should require very little effort, but lots of flavor! 😀
These apple sandwiches fall under the category of simple, delicious and budget-friendly. They’re a hit with both of my daughters and my husband and I. Though for the girls, I just do one slice of apple with the peanut butter and granola on top to make an open face sandwich. That way their little mouths can get a good bite!
While we use peanut butter, I think these would be delicious with WowButter, almond butter, apple butter or any kind of nut butter! As for the granola, I like to always have a batch of this homemade granola on hand. But store bought is delicious too. For the apple corer, I really like this Cuisipro apple corer.
