Lemon Raspberry Bread

Sliced lemon raspberry loaf | cookingwithcassandra.com

Baking is so different from cooking. In baking, you follow a set of instructions to a tee, put it in the oven, and hope for the best. Cooking, on the other hand, is much more relaxed: you season as you go along and there’s more wiggle room for mistakes. Some find it stressful to bake, having to follow the exact measurements and the cooking methods. But for me and many other home cooks, baking is a form of therapy! I’m forced to be completely present in the baking process and this helps me forget about my errands, chores, or any other stressors. And at the end of that, I’m...

Flatbread Pizza Dough Recipe

There’s something so comforting about homemade flatbread. It’s such a nice reminder that simple, handcrafted food is still within reach. Like most carbohydrates, flatbread is made with the most basic ingredients that have been around for centuries: flour, salt, water, and olive oil. If you haven’t made homemade bread before, don’t let this intimidate you! Flatbread is a great place to start for beginners. Most flatbreads have yeast as well, but I like going without it. You can never go wrong with yeastless flatbread. It just doesn’t demand that much and you don’t...

Easy Caprese Flatbread

What is flatbread? Flatbread is leavened dough which is flattened out with your bare hands or rolling pins and then pan-fried or oven-baked. Great on its own, or with your favorite dips. Flatbread is also used as pizza crust, welcoming any combination of toppings to enjoy it with. Flatbread has a soft texture and can be fluffy when yeast is included in the mix. To learn how to make my flatbread from scratch, check out my quick and easy flatbread recipe! It doesn’t contain any yeast, so that means it requires no overnight proofing and saves time. For this recipe, I’m...

Juicy Greek Chicken Kabobs

Grilled Chicken Kabobs | cookingwithcassandra.com

When they invented the kabob, did they know it would satisfy hunger pangs that strike in the middle of the night? Because in this household, boy do we get kabob cravings on the regular! I’ve always ordered lamb and chicken kabobs from food trucks, and while I’m appreciating these beautiful meat skewers, I can’t help but wonder: What is it that makes kabobs so darn delicious? Is it the spices or the juiciness of the grilled chicken? Does it taste this good when we’re sober? On one of those kabob-filled nights, I vowed to myself that I’d learn to make these...

Easy Caesar Salad Dressing

Caesar salads are one of those classic side dishes on the menu that’s hard to go wrong with. It’s got crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and cheese. There are also added protein options, such as grilled chicken breasts, cajun shrimp, salami, and bacon. The thing that makes a Caesar salad spectacular, I believe, is the dressing that ties it all together. It is rich with flavors from anchovies, garlic mayonnaise, cheese, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, all blended together. I decided to take a stab at making homemade Caesar salad dressing, and can you believe it...

Easy Mojito Pitcher Recipe

Glass of Refreshing Mojito | cookingwithcassandra.com

There's nothing worse than playing bartender all night when you're supposed to be relaxing with your guests. Mojitos are one of my favorite cocktails, but making them one glass at a time is way too much work. That's why this easy no-muddle mojito pitcher recipe is my go-to for summer gatherings. By using a quick mint simple syrup instead, you get all that fresh flavor without the fuss of muddling. The best part is you can prep it in advance —when guests are ready, just pour over ice and serve. It’s the perfect recipe for you if you're a beginner mixologist, since mojito pitchers are one...

Best Three Bean Salad

A bright and inviting bowl of three bean salad is one of the smartest (and quickest) dishes you can pack for a summer picnic, a camping trip, or an outdoor BBQ party. The origins of the three bean salad are unclear. We know that this side dish became popular in the 50s because it was made of canned beans which everyone already had in their pantry. The cherry on top was a tangy, refreshing marinade that the beans soaked in. By the 60s and 70s, companies came up with instant 3 bean salads in cans, which you can still find on shelves today. I think it’s way healthier to make your...

Easy Hashbrown Casserole

This recipe will show you how I recreate a classic comfort food, hashbrown casserole, that takes minimal effort and promises maximum delight. Hashbrown casserole is an easy one-pot dish that is rich in flavor and texture. It does not skimp on any ingredients and features a creamy, luscious filling of chicken soup, crispy savory hashbrowns, and lots of marble cheddar cheese. Hashbrown casserole is perfect for any time of the day and any holiday of the year. This combination of cheese and diced potatoes is warmly welcomed at the breakfast table (with bacon and eggs!), and as a...

5 Fresh Spins on Summer Salads

Easy Egg Muffins Done Three Ways

Let me preface this by saying that eating a good, heartwarming, healthy breakfast is absolutely necessary. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 20s, it’s that breakfast helps to energize our bodies and sets the tone for the rest of our day. It’s so important that I might even carve this on a stone tablet: Thou shall not skip breakfast. Well… unless you’re planning to have a yummy brunch with friends where Mimosa's are involved. Or, unless you work a night shift, or you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have a big appetite in the morning. My point is: breakfast is...
