I love the flavors of caprese, which is why I love Caprese Stuffed Avocados, Caprese Kabobs, Caesar Salad Wonton Cups, and of course this easy peasy Quick Caprese Salad! Eat fresh & healthy! As I’ve been trying to come up with “healthier” meals and lunch ideas, I remembered my love for Caprese recipes.

My usual go-to drink for the holidays is my vegan eggnog. But now it’s sharing the spotlight with this vegan hot chocolate, or as I’ve always called it, vegan hot cocoa. The idea to make this any holiday drink in the slow cooker first came after I made my slow cooker apple cider years ago. The aromatic smell that filled our then apartment was beautifully warming and intoxicating. Slow cooker hot chocolate is the winter version!...
Thanks to Crockpot™ for sponsoring this blog post! Thanks so much to you my readers for supporting the brands who support Jessica in the Kitchen! All texts and opinions are my own. I’ve had this soup every single day this week. Yes, it’s really that good. Some may use the term “obsessed”, and I tend to agree with them! I love the creamy texture of the soup, and how velvety and buttery the texture of the mushrooms become after hours of simmering in hot smooth broth with all the right seasonings....
There’s a unique sense of achievement that comes from creating your own soft pretzels at home—the same kind you get from making Vegan Japanese Milk Bread or Cinnamon Rolls. But I’d say pretzels are even more fun. Twisting them is oddly satisfying! While this soft pretzel recipe is about the journey, let’s be real—it’s also about the end product. These soft pretzels are vegan (many traditional hot pretzel recipes are made with honey!...
Have you heard of “desperation pies”? It’s a term used for pies made with staple ingredients that most people have on hand at all times. I have to admit, I love this concept because who hasn’t had the experience of rooting around the pantry when you’re desperate to find the ingredients you need to make a dessert? Been there, done that! Some of the most famous desperation pies are chess pie, shoofly pie, sugar cream pie, and the subject of today’s post, buttermilk pie....
This strawberry banana bread came about from buying pounds upon pounds of extra strawberries, because well, summer. After eating them in endless variations of overnight oats, fruit bowls, and with a dollop of coconut whipped cream, it occurred to me to add them to my gluten-free vegan banana bread to add some fresh fruit flavour. Best decision ever. Not only does this add lots of strawberry flavour, it really transforms the recipe into the ideal summer quick bread....
We love dreamy, Creamy Pies! Our family loves all pies, especially cream pies! Because pies are a favorite dessert (especially around the holidays), we love having a variety of them at our family get togethers. One of those favorites we like to make is our Sugar Cream Pie (aka Hoosier Pie)! This delicious old-fashioned pie is believed to originate from Indiana’s Amish/Quaker community in the mid-1800s. No matter where it came from, we are glad it’s here because it’s simple and so delicious....
This French toast casserole is by far my most popular, but people also love our Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake, and for a savory casserole – Sausage Breakfast Casserole. WE Love it + You Will too! We love breakfast foods. I could eat it any time of the day, and it’s fairly common to come over to the Merkley home on an evening and find us eating Belgian Waffles or this French Toast Casserole, which we LOVE....
The Best Burger recipe! Grilling hamburgers is a classic American summer tradition. It’s an especially popular dinner during patriotic holidays like the Fourth of July and Memorial Day, or for sporting events or parties AND countless Merkley gatherings. Along with Hot Dogs, we make burgers ALL year long and are so glad we finally perfected our Homemade Hamburger recipe. Not only is it extremely flavorful and delicious, but it’s always easy and quick to make....
