chocolate covered strawberries

Ingredients:

1 pound (about 500g) fresh strawberries

8 ounces (about 225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or a chopped chocolate bar

Equipment:

Baking sheet or large plate

Wax paper or parchment paper

Paper towels

A saucepan and a heatproof bowl (for double boiler) OR a microwave-safe bowl

Spatula or spoon

Instructions:

Prepare the Strawberries:

Gently wash the strawberries under cool water.

Dry them VERY thoroughly with paper towels. Make sure there is no water left on them, as water will ruin the chocolate.

Line the baking sheet or plate with wax paper or parchment paper.

Melt the Chocolate:

Using a Double Boiler: Put about an inch or two of water in the saucepan and bring it to a simmer (not a rolling boil). Place the chocolate in the heatproof bowl and set the bowl over the simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat carefully.

Using a Microwave: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power (50%) for 30 seconds. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well after each time, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it.

Dip the Strawberries:

Hold a strawberry by its green stem/leaves.

Dip the strawberry into the melted chocolate, turning it slightly to coat most of it, leaving a little red showing near the stem.

Lift the strawberry out of the chocolate and let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.

Carefully place the chocolate-covered strawberry onto the lined baking sheet.

Chill to Set:

Repeat the dipping process with the remaining strawberries.

Place the baking sheet with the strawberries into the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm and hardened.

Enjoy! These are best eaten the same day they are made.

Chicken Fried Steak tonight? 🤔 Our easy and delicious recipe is waiting for you! Homemade white gravy included. 😉

🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the steak:

4 thin beef steaks (like cube steak or tenderized round steak)

1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or buttermilk

Oil for frying (vegetable, sunflower, or peanut oil)

For the white gravy:

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

2 cups (500 ml) milk

Salt & pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the steaks:

If needed, pound the steaks to tenderize and ensure even thickness.

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (or buttermilk).

Dredge each steak:

First in the seasoned flour (shake off excess)

Then dip into the egg/milk mixture

Finally, coat again in the flour for that extra crispy crust.

💡 Tip: Press the flour firmly onto the steak during each coating step for better adhesion.

2. Fry the steaks:

Heat about 1/2 inch (1–2 cm) of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot (a small pinch of flour should sizzle), carefully add the steaks.

Fry for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the steaks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

3. Make the white gravy:

Carefully drain most of the oil from the pan, leaving about 1–2 tablespoons along with the browned bits (for extra flavor!).

Add the butter and let it melt.

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Cook until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

🍽️ Serving suggestion

Plate the chicken fried steak and generously pour the creamy gravy over the top. Serve with:

Mashed potatoes

Green beans or corn

A light side salad for some freshness

🔄 Optional:

Want a lighter version? You can bake the breaded steaks in the oven or use an air fryer for a crispy finish without deep frying!

Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe

This simple and delicious recipe is always a crowd-pleaser!

Yields: 12 deviled egg halves (6 whole eggs) Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise (more to taste)

1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or Dijon for a slightly different flavor)

1 teaspoon white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Paprika, for garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for 12-15 minutes.

Cool the Eggs: Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool completely (about 10-15 minutes). This makes them easier to peel.

Peel the Eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and then peel off the shell and the membrane.

Halve the Eggs: Carefully slice each egg lengthwise in half.

Remove the Yolks: Gently scoop out the yolks from each half and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Arrange the empty egg white halves on a serving platter.

Mash the Yolks: Use a fork to mash the yolks until they are smooth and crumbly.

Add the Remaining Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar to the mashed yolks. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Season to Taste: Season the yolk mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Fill the Egg Whites: You have a few options for filling the egg whites:

Spoon: Use a spoon to carefully fill each egg white cavity with the yolk mixture.

Piping Bag: For a more decorative look, transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the mixture into each egg white.

Garnish: Sprinkle the filled deviled eggs generously with paprika. If desired, garnish with a small sprig of fresh parsley.

Chill (Optional): For the best flavor, cover the deviled eggs loosely with plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve: Arrange the deviled eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

For extra flavor: Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, a dash of hot sauce, a little sweet pickle relish, or some finely chopped chives or dill to the yolk mixture.

Make ahead: You can hard-boil and peel the eggs a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator. Prepare the yolk mixture a few hours before serving and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Fill the egg whites just before serving.

Presentation: Get creative with your garnishes! Besides paprika and parsley, you can use chopped olives, capers, or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

Enjoy your delicious homemade Deviled Eggs!

Classic Comforting Beef Tips & Rice

This recipe delivers tender beef tips smothered in a rich, savory brown gravy, served over perfectly fluffy rice. It's a hearty, satisfying meal perfect for any night of the week.

Yields: 4-6 servings Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 1.5 - 2.5 hours (depending on beef tenderness)

Ingredients:

For the Beef Tips & Gravy:

1.5 - 2 lbs Beef Sirloin Tips, Chuck Roast, or Stew Meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (for coating beef)

1 tsp Salt (or to taste)

1/2 tsp Black Pepper (or to taste)

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

2 tbsp Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil (divided)

1 large Yellow Onion, chopped

2-3 cloves Garlic, minced

3-4 cups Beef Broth (low sodium recommended)

1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp Soy Sauce (optional, for deeper umami)

1 Bay Leaf (optional)

1 sprig Fresh Thyme (optional)

1-2 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with 2-3 tbsp cold water (slurry, for thickening if needed)

Salt and Pepper to taste (for final gravy adjustment)

For the Fluffy White Rice:

1.5 cups Long-Grain White Rice

3 cups Water (or follow package directions)

1 tbsp Butter (optional)

1/2 tsp Salt (optional)

For Garnish:

2-3 Green Onions, thinly sliced

Equipment:

Large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with a lid

Medium saucepan with a lid (for rice)

Mixing bowls

Whisk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:* Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels (this helps with searing). * In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. * Add the beef cubes and toss until evenly coated with the seasoned flour mixture.

2. Sear the Beef:* Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. * Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, sear the beef cubes on all sides until deeply browned. Don't cook them through, just get a good crust. * Remove the seared beef from the pot and set aside on a plate. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil if the pot looks dry.

3. Sauté Aromatics:* Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden (about 5-7 minutes). * Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Build the Gravy & Simmer:* Pour in about 1/2 cup of the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits (fond) – this adds lots of flavor! * Return the seared beef (and any accumulated juices) to the pot. * Add the remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), bay leaf, and thyme sprig. Stir everything together. * Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.

5. Cook Until Tender:* Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly with the lid. * Let the beef tips simmer gently for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Check occasionally and add a splash more broth if the liquid reduces too much.

6. Cook the Rice:* About 20-25 minutes before the beef is expected to be done, prepare the rice. * Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. * In the medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, butter (if using), and salt (if using). * Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (or according to package directions) until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. * Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

7. Finish the Gravy:* Once the beef is tender, remove the bay leaf and thyme sprig (if used). * Taste the gravy. If it's not thick enough for your liking, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry while the gravy is simmering gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes more until thickened to your desired consistency. * Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

8. Serve:* Spoon a generous amount of fluffy white rice onto plates or into shallow bowls. * Ladle the tender beef tips and rich gravy over the rice. * Garnish generously with sliced green onions.

Enjoy your comforting, homemade Beef Tips & Rice!
