2025 Alphabet Challenge

 

I'm participating in a bi-weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.


A is for Aglio!


 B is for Black Beans!


C is for Chia and Coconut!


D is for Dark Chocolate!


E is for Espresso!


F is for French Onion Soup!


G is for Ginger!


 H is for Honey!


I is for Ice Cream!


J is for Jalapeno!


K is for Kuchen!


L is for Lemon!

  

M is for Mocha and Milkshake

 

N is for New England!


O is for Orzo!
Easy Orzo with Parmesan and Basil is a cheesy, buttery side dish that comes together fast.  


P is for Peas, Peppers, Parsley and Pasta!


Q is for Quick Bread!
Blueberry Banana Quick Bread is loaded with blueberries and is a great way to use up overripe bananas. Whether you’re serving it for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack, it’s sure to be a hit.


R is for Rosemary and Roasted!
Rosemary Roasted Red Potatoes bake up beautifully with crispy edges and fluffy centers, and the rosemary gives them just the right amount of flavor.


S is for Smoothie!
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies are creamy, chocolatey, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.


T is for Tomato and Tortellini!
When it comes to comfort food, few things are as satisfying as a bowl of soup. This Tomato Tortellini Soup is hearty, flavorful, and comes together in less than 30 minutes.

U is for Upside Down!
This Upside-Down Bacon Apple Pancake bakes up golden and caramelized in one skillet. Crispy bacon, sweet brown sugar, and grated apple create a sticky-sweet topping that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.


V is for Vinaigrette!

This Cranberry Orange Vinaigrette balances tart cranberries with sweet orange juice for a simple, delicious dressing. Drizzle it over salads, roasted veggies, or chicken for an easy pop of color and flavor.


W is for Wild Rice!

Cranberry Wild Rice is a tasty side made with a colorful rice blend, dried cranberries, and a little crunch from pepitas. It’s easy to make and goes just as well on a weeknight dinner table as it does alongside a holiday meal.


X is for Xocolatl!

Pronounced “sho-ko-LA-tl,” the original Aztec hot chocolate recipe was traditionally made with cacao and chili. This spiced chocolate drink has been adapted into a home-friendly version using chili chocolate, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla.



Y is for Yogurt!

Yogurt adds tenderness and a subtle tang to cornbread that makes it perfect alongside soups, chili, or simply with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey.


Z is for ?

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
