]]>Peeps are the candy corn of commercial Easter confections: you either love them or you hate them, there is no in-between. Those who happen to fall into the first group are sure to enjoy a sweet and simple milkshake like the one shared by Shared Appetite. Just pop a few Peeps in the oven to toast and then combine with the remaining ingredients in a blender.
Cadbury Creme Eggs are an Easter staple, but as their name would suggest, not exactly vegan-friendly. If you’re a fan of this classic treat but prefer to avoid dairy, you can easily make your own plant-based version with this recipe from The Little Blog of Vegan. They’re easy to whip up with only six ingredients and just as indulgent as the real thing.
We love peppermint bark at Christmas, so why not make the tradition part of our Easter celebrations, as well? This recipe by Sally’s Baking Addiction uses both semi-sweet and white chocolate as a base and can be made with almost any Easter candy you have on hand—M&M’s, speckled eggs, or even pretzel pieces.

]]>Potentially the most fundamental rule of cooking with wine is to never add a wine to your food that you wouldn’t drink on its own. The flavors will intensify as the alcohol evaporates, so choose a high-quality wine in a variety that will complement the rest of your dish. For example, dry white wines like Sauvignon Blanc work well in light dishes like seafood and risotto, while bold reds such as Merlot are more suited to hearty sauces.
You’ve probably heard that alcohol, whether it be wine or any other spirit, “cooks off”, but this is actually only partly true. Alcohol does evaporate when heated to 173 degrees Fahrenheit and above, but studies have shown that it takes about 3 hours to remove any and all traces—far too long for the majority of recipes. This isn’t necessarily a reason not to use it, but it is something to be aware of depending on who you’re cooking for.
The point at which you add wine to a recipe can make a big difference in how it turns out. Added too early, delicate wines may lose their subtlety, while any wine added too late can leave your dish with a harsh, bitter taste. In general, the best rule of thumb is to add wine early in the cooking process to deglaze the pan.

]]>Soy sauce is often used to provide flavor and salt, especially in Asian dishes or those in need of a savory bite. Salt alone just isn’t the same, but in a pinch, Worcestershire sauce can be an effective substitute. Just mix ¼ cup of Worcestershire with about a tablespoon of water, then add the same amount to your recipe that you would have soy sauce.
Eggs can serve a variety of purposes in cooking, so the most appropriate substitute for eggs will depend on what you’re making. For baked goods, half a banana or ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce per egg will do the trick, while ¼ cup of silken tofu or 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise may be better for savory dishes.
Fun fact: baking powder contains baking soda, but baking soda does not contain baking powder. The next time you find yourself fresh out of BP, know that you can easily make your own by blending 1 part baking soda with 2 parts cream of tartar or white vinegar. The combination of baking powder and acid generates carbon dioxide, which provides a leavening effect when added to baked goods.

]]>Monkey bread is a fun and easy snack traditionally made with cinnamon sugar, but this recipe by The Girl Who Ate Everything gives it a savory spin with some garlic butter, cheese, and plenty of pepperoni. We love to put it out as a shareable snack at parties and on game days—with marinara sauce for dipping, of course.
Vegans like pizza, too! Minimalist Baker knocks it out of the park with this nutritious and delicious pizza-inspired entrée. Made with cannellini beans and a homemade cashew cheese sauce, it’s filling, flavorful, and oh-so comforting. Enjoy it on its own, or as a dip with some toasted garlic bread.
Half the reason we like to order pizza in the first place is that it’s convenient, but when we’re feeling lazy and don’t want to spend extra money on takeout, this pasta recipe by Salt & Lavender is a great alternative. With just 4 simple ingredients, it takes only 10 minutes to whip up and is really to serve in less than an hour—like delivery, but better.

]]>The real reason why chicken noodle soup helps when you’re sick is that chicken contains high levels of tryptophan, which the body uses to make feel-good chemicals like serotonin and melatonin. Luckily, chickpeas also contain plenty of tryptophan of their own. This plant-based take on chicken noodle soup by nutritionist Tasting to Thrive is every bit as comforting as the real thing.
Garlic has natural antimicrobial properties that have been shown to support the body’s immune system and protect against infection, but if we’re being honest, we really just like this soup for the taste. Creamy, comforting, and easy to prepare, the creator It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken describes it as “a cozy blanket for your tastebuds.”
If an apple a day hasn’t successfully kept the doctor away, perhaps a hot bowl of vegetable soup will. This recipe by Two Peas & Their Pod packs a nutrient-dense punch with 11 different kinds of veggies in a rich tomato broth. Enjoy it as is with a side of toasted bread, or add lentils to amp up the protein.
