I am no longer able to save your recipes. Is there a limit to how many can be saved
Hi Suzanne! No, there is no limit. Let me check with the technical team that manages this aspect of my site to see what the problem is.
looks good❤️
Thank you, Shirley! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your recipes. Love Colorado and visit often as my daughter and her family live in Denver. She is an interior designer and has a design studio in Denver and also in Seattle, WA as well as in North Carolina.
Thank you for the kind words, Arleen! How wonderful to have family in Denver — and studios in three cities is impressive; your daughter must stay busy. Hope your next visit out here is a good one! ❤️❤️
Julia, I made your blueberry cake and it was delicious, but the batter was so thick that the blueberries stayed on top. From the pictures, it looks like your fall down into the cake. I added some almond milk to loosen the dough. Any suggestions?
Hi Basia! I have several blueberry cake recipes on my site, and I am assuming you're talking about this one: https://juliasalbum.com/blueberry-cake/#recipe
Good instinct adding the milk — that's exactly the right fix, and 2-3 tablespoons is about all it takes.
The usual culprit is the yogurt. Thick Greek yogurt makes a noticeably stiffer batter than regular yogurt or kefir, and brands vary a lot. The other common one is flour measuring: spooning it into the cup and leveling it off gives you meaningfully less than dipping the cup into the bag, and even a couple of extra tablespoons stiffens things up.
A couple of other tips: room-temperature eggs and yogurt make a looser, more fluid batter than cold ones straight from the fridge.
And if you want the berries to sink like in my photos, fold half of them into the batter and scatter the rest on top — and skip tossing those in flour, since the flour coating is specifically what keeps berries suspended.
I have been cooking since I was 8 - 57 years later I know good when I see it. I'm looking forward to pillaging thru your recipes as the photo of the Sausage potato soup stopped my cold.
Kind Regards,
Rojo
Rojo, 57 years in the kitchen — that's the kind of endorsement I don't take lightly. 🙂 🙂 ❤️❤️ Thank you! Pillage away, and I hope the sausage potato soup lives up to the photo that stopped you. 🙂 Love the way you speak, by the way! ❤️
Could the weekly meal plan include vegetarian dinners?
I try to include vegetarian dinner options sometimes. Also all my meal plans offer 3 choices or salads that are usually vegetarian.
My son and I cannot eat anything that is fried in any type of oil. I printed the stir fry asian recipes for stir fryin. Can you suggest another method of cooking these dishes.
Thank you
I am on a very restricted low fat diet. I do stir fries in broth. It adds great flavour, tenderizes the chicken and is low in fat.
Hi Sharon! Absolutely! Stir-fries work well without oil. The method is called a water sauté: heat a nonstick pan or well-seasoned wok over medium-high, and instead of oil, add a splash of broth or water (2-3 tablespoons at a time) whenever things start to stick. Keep it moving and add more liquid as it cooks off.
A few tips: don't crowd the pan, since a lot of liquid makes things steam rather than sear. Cook the vegetables in batches by density — carrots first, leafy greens last. And build extra flavor in with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a splash of citrus, since you're not getting any from the oil.
Roasting veggies on a sheet pan at 425°F is another good route if you want something more hands-off.
Hi Julia!
Thanks for sharing your recipes! "It's from Julia" is a phrase heard often in our house at mealtime!
I know this sounds strange, but I emailed you directly with a non-recipe/non-food question. I know you read these comments on a regular basis, so I wanted to give you a heads up about it.
Thanks again for all that you do!
Karen, that might be my most favorite comment yet! Sounds like my recipes are a regular at your house which makes me very happy! 🙂
I'll be honest: I'm terrible about checking that email inbox. I'll go dig for your message, and I'll try to be better about it going forward. If you don't hear back in a few days, feel free to nudge me here again. LOL.
Me interesa mucho recibir recetas nuevas con pollo, favoritas de mi familia.

Hi Julia,
I am looking forward to preparing your recipes! They look amazing! I am always looking for new healthy and mouther-watering dishes to make. I can't wait to start. I will provide with the updates. Thank you
Hi! Welcome, Carla, and thank you for the kind words! I'm so excited for you to dive in — I'd love to hear how everything turns out, so please do keep me posted! ❤️❤️
First, I love your recipes! My husband and I are wanting to lose weight and I wondered if you’ve ever considered marking certain recipes as low calorie or compiling some into a category that would make it easy to choose only from that list. I can certainly look up the calorie content, but I also wondered if it would help your marketing and others who might be seeking the same thing as we are. Thanks!
Hi Laurie! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes! And yes, that’s actually something I’ve been thinking about and planning to do! I agree it would make it so much easier to find lighter, lower-calorie recipes in one place. 🙂 🙂
Thanks so much!!
Julia , your recipes are just amazing I would like to try all of them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Love your work and a BIG thank you
Hi Maria! Comments like this really make my day! 🙂 I’m so happy you’re enjoying the recipes, and I really appreciate you being here and supporting my work. Big thank you right back to you!! ❤️
