My Rhea is only 6, but she loves peppers. Unusual for her age, but she gobbles them up just raw chopped up. And of course, all kids love pizza! So, she obviously loves this one. It’s super easy and super quick, and it’s just like a pizza and yet not a pizza. You must think I’m crazy. But its true. It’s not loaded with cheese, so it’s not too heavy for dinner....

Bierocks are yeasted bread rolls filled with savory ground beef, cabbage, onions and seasonings. They make the perfect grab-and-go lunch or dinner and are also great for picnics and taking along on hikes. This bierocks recipe is made from scratch with homemade bread dough but for a shortcut you can also use ready made bread/pizza dough from the store. They freeze well so go ahead and make a double batch while you’re at it!...

This Sandwich is made with cucumber, tomatoes, beetroots, potato, butter, green Chutney, and chaat masala.

If you have been to Bombay, you wouldn’t have missed seeing the stalls lined up on the streets making those veg sandwiches....

Delightfully crunchy with the perfect balance of sweet and tart, these bread and butter pickles are a breeze to make and can be stored in the refrigerator or canned for long-term storage. These are practically a staple in our home and we love them on sandwiches, burgers, or chopped up in a variety of salads! The Best Bread and Butter Pickles Despite their name, they have neither bread nor butter in their list of ingredients....

This soup has become a favorite and I’ve been making this recipe for a couple of years now. I love the ease of recipes like this one for making it easy to get dinner on the table, even on the busiest of nights. Use a hot sausage or an Italian sausage, choose your favorite flavor, either one will be delicious. My preference is usually towards the hot or spicy sausage simply because my whole family likes it and a couple of my kids aren’t big fans of Italian sausage....

Within a few months of moving to Ohio last year, my family was lamenting the fact that we no longer lived near a Cafe Rio Mexican Grill. Cafe Rio serves fresh options for salads, burritos, tacos, and more. Yes, I just realized this sounds like an ad for the restaurant. But alas, it is not. Unfortunately, only in my dreams am I paid to rave about Cafe Rio. If you’ve ever lived near one of their restaurants and enjoyed their salads on the regular you may understand our lamentations at now living so far away from this deliciousness....

This is what a Catalina salad looks like minus the salad. It’s the result of a craving plus a shortage of groceries and the desire to change out of my sweats on a rainy Tuesday. And thank heaven for days like that because this Catalina chicken thing happened and it is nothing short of completely scrumptious. If you haven’t made Catalina dressing from scratch before, it is so easy. Just a handful of basic pantry ingredients that, when thrown into a blender, create creamy sweet and tangy magic in all of two minutes....

I like to pretend I’m a hiker. I want to be a hiker, I really do, but the frequency of my hiking adventures tends to be on the lesser side. Occasionally though, I go on a hike and when I do, I absolutely adore it. A few nights ago we hiked up to a waterfall here in Utah called Donut Falls. The weather was perfect, the company was choice, and the sights were perfect....

Cherries and limes, limes and cherries . . . they just go together. I wouldn’t enjoy a big glass of straight up limeade, but with cherry in it? Oh yeah. I’d go for that. Have you seen the price of cherries lately though?? $6 a pound??? That’s nuts. A friend in my neighborhood brought by a huge bag of freshly picked cherries from her tree last week and I celebrated all week long with THIS recipe and THIS ONE too....

Why This Recipe Works Filling and nutritious — While I enjoy a good chicken and noodle soup, there’s something about this chicken and rice version I am enjoying especially here lately. It’s not only warm and filling but also nutritious too!...

I am really loving the weather lately. Utah weather can be a bit bi-polar. In fact there’s a popular saying around here “If you don’t like the weather in Utah, wait 10 minutes”, because the weather changes pretty fast. Honestly sometimes it’s obnoxious. Like when you’re planning on being out and about for the day and aren’t sure if you should pack a trench coat and goulashes, even though it’s sunny and clear when you’re leaving home....

I first heard of this recipe ages ago. From friends who had tasted it in Kundapur (the birthplace of ghee roast) and who couldn’t stop raving about it. But back then, it wasn’t widely known or made outside of Karnataka. Also, this was the pre-online recipes era. So being from Mumbai, I could only add this dish to my ‘foodie bucket list’ to try sometime when I was in Kundapur....

This Chicken Piccata recipe is quick and easy to make and will absolutely WOW your taste buds! Featuring a lemon-wine-butter-caper sauce, this classic Italian dish is absolutely mouthwatering! Chicken Piccata is a prime example of a dish that’s quick and easy to make but will leave your guests thinking you’re a gourmet cook. Though quick and easy to make it doesn’t cut corners on taste and is tantalizingly delicious. Chicken breasts are sliced in half and then seasoned, dredged in flour, fried crispy golden and served with a tangy lemon-wine-butter-caper sauce made from the pan drippings....

Over a year ago, my sister told me about this recipe. She told me that my 18-year-old niece had found it online and made it for their family. This rapidly became one of their favorite recipes and when I finally had a chance to make it myself, I knew why. These chicken skewers disappeared in minutes and we never even had a chance to sit down at the table. We wound up standing around the kitchen island, dipping the skewers into the Avocado Cream Sauce just as soon as the meat was cool enough to eat....

Sweet with a hint of salty, smooth and crunchy, incredibly delicious…these all describe this quick and easy Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Bark that will make you smile every time you take a bite!

If you’re looking for more clam chowder recipes, since writing this post I’ve also made this amazing restaurant-quality 30 minute clam chowder....
