Today, I want to share with you one of my favorite snacks. I love granola and I can eat granola parfait for breakfast or dinner. These are similar to eating granola but as healthy granola bars instead of in a bowl. The best thing is that, unlike store-bought granola, these bars are not loaded with sugar or erythritol.

Food is not simply stuff that people eat when they’re hungry....

I didn’t know what to eat for lunch today. I wanted something quick and there weren’t any leftovers of anything. I made my Easy Homemade Mexican Chorizo yesterday. While it is phenomenal tasting, it’s obviously not a stand-alone meal. I opened the fridge and saw a homely loaf of bread (yeah, the artisan stuff was gone). I remember my husband Todd had made a grilled cheese sandwich last night as an evening snack....

One of my favorite traditions growing up was tin foil dinners. That’s what we called them anyway. My mom always made them the same way: handmade hamburger patties + quartered baby potatoes + baby carrots. We’d cook them on the grill or over an open fire and when they were done, smother the heck out of them with ketchup. Every now and then I still get cravings for my mom’s tin foil dinners, like this week I was dying for one....

You will agree with me that the one thing that brings our whole world together is food. In fact, pick a dish that is very traditional to you and you will find a few variations on it around the world. For example, we Indians make chapati and the Mexicans make tortillas. Perhaps they are similar but not the same. And yet quite the same concept. Right? The Mexican flour tortilla is made with all-purpose flour, milk/water, oil, salt, and pepper....

Homestyle Mashed Potatoes As much as we love mashed potatoes, I do not enjoy peeling potatoes. To avoid peeling potatoes, I use Yukon or golden potatoes in most of our mashed potatoes. The skins are so thin you can leave them on. Rich, fluffy mashed potatoes with soft potato pieces and skins that melt into the creaminess are what you will get with this recipe. Yes, skin-on mashed potatoes can still be fluffy....

This was the birthday cake for my son, Aadi. He requested a basketball and a shoe cake, but since we needed a lot of cake, I opted to make just one shoe and a 6-inch ball cake.

The grilling method used for cooking this bread gives it a unique flavor. Laffa bread is typically served with Middle Eastern foods and flavors, although, I’d happily eat this on its own or with just about anything. We served our laffa bread with hummus as it was coming off the hot pan and then piled on some awesome toppings flatbread-style....

While in Canada, we have eaten more pastries, bagels, and other awesome baked goods, than I can recall eating before in my life.

Locals and tourists alike debate which one is best, so naturally, I felt the need to sample both....

Dowels or other supports are often used to ensure the stability of the stacked layers, especially for taller or more elaborate cakes....
