Crab Salad

When we were newlyweds, Sean and I would often splurge and pick up a carton of crab salad from the deli and then snack on it with crackers while watching a movie or chatting after work. We loved crab salad and enjoyed it this way for many years.

It wasn’t until I met my friend Debbie while teaching her daughter Amanda that I learned just how incredibly easy it is to make a batch of this deli staple. After that, salad from the deli lost all of its appeal.

Freshly made with just the right amount of everything? That’s pure crab happiness.

Queso Fundido

Queso fundido is a true cheese-lover’s dream. Can you imagine anything more tempting than a skillet filled with bubbling hot cheese and spicy chorizo topped with fresh cilantro and green onions served with tortilla chips? I sure can’t!

Queso Fundido

This is one dish that my guys will go for almost every time they see it on a menu. It’s not hard to understand why when you realize it’s basically a skillet filled with melted cheese and browned chorizo!

There’s a little more to it than that, of course. You want to choose the most melty-stretchy cheese possible for the recipe.

What is Queso Fundido?

Our preference is to use freshly grated queso quesadilla cheese. If you have a difficult time finding queso quesadilla cheese in the grocery store, you might be able to find “quesadilla melting cheese” which comes already shredded in a bag.

It’s typically a blend of jack, chihuahua, and oaxaca cheeses. If you can’t find either of those, you can definitely grab some jack cheese and some chihuahua and/or oaxaca cheeses and grate them yourself. Either option will work fine here.

It is important to note that this dip is best made immediately before serving. It will not be as lovely when reheated, so this recipe is not a great candidate for making in large amounts as planned leftovers.

Recreate the delicious mascarpone whipped cream from popular food truck Waffle Love with this easy copycat recipe. Perfect for topping off your homemade waffles!

I originally was looking to make a thicker, creamier whipped cream to accompany our Liege Waffles, or as you all know them, Waffle Love waffles, and while I did just that, I also threw in some clear vanilla and my goodness, it took the taste to a whole new level!!! 4 ingredients is all you need!

Ingredients for Mascarpone Whipped Cream

You won’t believe that it only takes 4 ingredients to make this tasty dessert topping! Adding mascarpone to the whipped cream helps stabilize it. We have a stabilized whipped cream recipe already on the blog, but if you don’t want to mess with gelatin, try mascarpone instead! Here is what you will need:

  • Heavy Whipping Cream: you’ll need a pint of whipping cream to make this recipe
  • Clear Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla is essential in this whipped cream and the clear vanilla makes helps it stay bright white.
    • If you don’t have clear vanilla, regular vanilla extract will work fine.
  • Powdered Sugar: also called confectioners’ sugar
  • Mascarpone: can be found in the grocery store near the ricotta cheese or cream cheese

The measurements of each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

What is Mascarpone Cheese?

Mascarpone is an Italian soft cheese made from cow’s milk and coagulated with an acid of some kind. It’s like Italian cream cheese. It is extra creamy and velvety in texture has the most dreamy flavor. It is similar to cream cheese but more sweet. You can find it at the grocery store near the cream cheese in a small white container usually.

How to Make Mascarpone Whipped Cream Recipe

If you thought 4 ingredients was simple, just wait and see how easy mascarpone chantilly cream is to make! Just 2 steps:

  1. Soft Peaks: Add the heavy cream to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat until soft peaks form. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. Stiff Peaks: Add in the rest of the ingredients and beat until stiff peaks form.

This whipped cream will be stabilized enough to put in a piping bag pipe on cupcakes or pies. The complete recipe can be found in the recipe card down below. Keep scrolling for all the details.

Welcome to the weekend, my friends! It’s going to be chilly with rain all day here in Ohio. It’s the perfect kind of weather for staying cozy indoors. I have soup started, and a batch of ice cream churning, as I write this. With new books on my Kindle and plans to sit down with a puzzle later as well, I’ll happily take a rainy Saturday when I can fill it this way.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK:  This cheesy bacon quiche has been a favorite for many years. What’s not to love about a flaky pie crust filled with fluffy, cheesy eggs and plenty of bacon?

This tender, sweet blueberry banana bread is a irresistible riff on classic banana bread. Much like a cross between blueberry muffins and banana bread, pair a slice of this bread with that bacon quiche and everyone will be grinning.

If you like a classic spinach artichoke dip, you’re going to love this spinach artichoke pasta. We’re talking pasta enrobed in perfectly flavorful, cheesy cream sauce positively bursting with spinach and tender artichokes. Pure heaven!

What do you get when you give humble cauliflower a baked potato glow up? This loaded cauliflower casserole is tender, roasted cauliflower with all the cheddar, bacon, green onion, and sour cream goodness of your favorite loaded baked potato.

As a dedicated fan and vociferous lover of all things sweet and salty, I’m telling you now that chocolate covered potato chips need to be on your must-try list just as soon as possible. I’ll bet you can’t eat just one!

You only need two ingredients and about five minutes to make this easy hot fudge sauce. Creamy, thick, rich, and chocolatey hot fudge is a dream (and often a “must have in the house at all times” requirement) for any ice cream lover! 

Give me a brownie and ice cream over pretty much any other baked good and ice cream combination. So, naturally, this chocolate fudge brownie ice cream with a rich, deep chocolate ice cream fully loaded with chunks of chocolatey, chewy, fudgy brownies calls my name – loudly.

What I’m CRAVING: All the greens and vegetables! I’ve been out of the habit of prepping my daily salads on the weekend, so I shopped for produce yesterday and this is going to happen. I’m looking forward to having Read more
