Ingredients for Creamy Garlic Broccoli

This side dish recipe is quite indulgent and probably not something you would want to make every night, but if it’s a special occasion or you want a decadent vegetable dish, then this is what you will need:

• Butter: salted or unsalted work fine, you’ll just reduce the salt if you use salted
• Onion: just regular yellow onion works great
• Broccoli Florets: fresh broccoli is best, but frozen could be used if needed
  • Note: Feel free to use the stems too if you want. Just be sure to cut off the tough exterior of the stem.
• Garlic Cloves: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: add flavor
• Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess
• Heavy Cream: acts as the base for the creamy garlic parmesan sauce
• Smoked Paprika: adds flavor and smokiness to the sauce
• Lemon Juice: adds acidity and a pop of freshness
• Mozzarella Cheese: adds gooiness
• Parmesan Cheese: adds nuttiness and saltiness
• Aleppo Pepper: adds some heat and flavor and great color

Can I Use Other Varieties of Potatoes?

You don’t have to stick with red potatoes for this recipe, though they’re pretty perfect with their creamy centers and thin, crispy skins. If a bag of reds isn’t in your pantry, try swapping in Yukon Gold Potatoes (they’re buttery and golden with a rich flavor) or even Russet potatoes (fluffier inside with a bit of a bite once roasted).

Just know that each type of potato has a different starch level, which means the texture will change slightly, but honestly, you can’t go wrong. Crispy roasted potatoes of any kind are always a win in my book!

Can I Add Other Seasonings?

Absolutely! Think of this recipe as your crispy, fluffy canvas. This red skin potatoes recipe is amazing as-is, but if you’re in the mood to play around, go for it! You can keep it simple with garlic powder or fresh

How to Make Homemade Coleslaw

If you’re looking for a simple, crowd-pleasing homemade coleslaw recipe, you’re in the right place. This one is creamy, crisp, and full of flavor with just a few easy ingredients.

I recently showed my husband how to make this homemade coleslaw, and now he’s hooked! He loves the contrast of the crisp cabbage and carrots paired with the creamy dressing. My quick and easy recipe uses a mix of green and purple cabbage for color and crunch, all tossed in a simple, flavorful homemade dressing.

With his southern roots, it was important that this coleslaw passed his taste test, and it did! I’m confident that once you try this American classic coleslaw recipe, it’ll become your go-to coleslaw recipe no matter where you’re from. Whether you’re piling it onto a pulled pork sandwich, serving it alongside burgers, or adding crunch to brisket tacos, this coleslaw will take your backyard barbecues to the next level.

Ingredients For The Perfect Homemade Coleslaw:

With just a few basic ingredients, you can whip up this easy coleslaw recipe in minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Bag of Coleslaw Mix: I usually grab the pre-shredded cabbage mixture with green and red cabbage because it’s quick, easy, and tastes just as good as shredding it yourself. If you’re feeling ambitious, go ahead and slice your own with a sharp knife, food processor, or mandolin.
• Mayonnaise: This part really matters. I swear by Duke’s Mayo for the best flavor. Hellman’s is a decent substitute if that’s what you have on hand, but steer clear of light or avocado mayo unless you don’t mind changing the taste.
• Shredded Carrots: They add a little sweetness and crunch, and I love the pop of color they bring.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Just the right amount of tang to balance out the creamy dressing. If you’re out, lemon juice or white vinegar will work in a pinch.
• Sugar: Just a touch to round everything out and keep it from tasting too sharp.
• Salt and Pepper: A must for bringing all the flavors together.
• Celery Seed: Optional, but it gives the slaw that classic, savory flavor that makes it taste like the real deal.
