When the vegetables are garden fresh, a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper is all that they need to be delicious. I love oven roasted vegetables. However, if I don’t need to turn on the oven for anything else, there is little chance I’ll want it on just to roast the vegetables for dinner. This is a quick, easy and kitchen-heat free way to enjoy the summer produce....

So we’re now on day 3 of the school semester and I already want to sleep for 17 hours and burn every textbook in the house. I’ve taken 3 quizzes, read more pages than I care to say from the most incredibly dull political science book known to mankind, and written a painfully boring persuasive paper. I won’t bore you with details but I’ll just say that it revolved around the ObamaCare controversy – let’s not open that can of worms!...

It’s been cooling off ever so slightly lately and that little change in temperature, along with a few teeny tiny red leaves on the bushes lining our driveway, is getting me in the Fall mood very quickly. I’ve made two soups in the last four days and I’m not ashamed to say I have another one on the way. I just can’t help myself. When I get in the mood for soup, things get a little out of hand....

Slow cooking minimizes your time in the kitchen while maximizing dinner compliments! Try Slow Cooker Honey BBQ Beef Brisket, Slow Cooker Spicy Cashew Chicken, and Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef to be sure 😉 This may very well be my new favorite dish of all time.

With the explosion of home baking in recent months, you may wonder what the differences are between bread made with active dry yeast and those made with sourdough. Is one better than the other? The answer lies in the process of fermentation. Sourdough is more flavorful and nutritious than quick bread with active dry yeast. Still, it can also be better for crafting complex and innovative loaves with a unique texture and robust aroma....

Spanakopita is a classic Greek pastry that is loved for its delicious blend of flavors and textures. This savory pie is made with layers of flaky phyllo dough, filled with a rich mixture of spinach, feta cheese, onions, and fresh herbs such as dill and parsley.

The first time I made these beans, my family devoured them in one meal. Serve them with Beer and Garlic Chicken and Memphis Coleslaw for an easy and tasty weeknight dinner. Mexican Baked Beans The inspiration for these Mexican baked beans hit me one day when I wanted to make baked beans, but I didn’t have any bacon in the house and the ground beef was frozen. My family is full of self-proclaimed meat-loving carnivores and it’s hard enough to get a meatless meal past them, let alone a new variation on a much-loved meat-filled baked beans recipe....

Spinach is a nutrient-packed leafy green that brings a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your diet. It’s versatile, delicious, and can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads to smoothies. Patties, on the other hand, are a delightful way to enjoy a mix of ingredients in a compact, flavorful form. They can be made from vegetables, meats, or legumes, and are often seasoned to perfection. Combining spinach with patties results in a dish that’s not only healthy but also incredibly tasty....

I remember first having these spinach corn sandwiches at Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) back in Mumbai, and they were such a treat! A very expensive treat, back then, but still. These were so good, that I picked them over the chicken sandwiches (which btw I also loved). And that is saying a lot, because back then, I never ate vegetarian outside of home, eating out usually always meant eating chicken or fish....

A few weeks ago, my husband requested a bourbon barbecue sauce. We were making ribs and he wanted to dip them in a spicy sauce. I didn’t get a single picture of the sauce at the time, because we ate almost all of it. I made this sauce again a couple weeks later for pulled pork and again, it disappeared before I managed to snap a photo. This time I planned ahead and made the sauce early in the day, so that I could get a picture....

Now that my eyes have been opened, I’ll be trying this sauce on every other vegetable I roast! I served these green beans with Pan Fried Chicken and Roasted Sweet Potato Bites for a simple and delicious weeknight meal.

If you love Indian food you’ve likely tried Tandoori chicken. The secret to great tandoori lies in the marinade and I cover that in my recipe for tandoori chicken.

Tandoori Tofu I wanted to experiment with a vegetarian substitute for the chicken and tofu seemed a natural choice – plus I happened to have a package of it already in my fridge, score....

One of our family’s favorite meals is chicken with rice. And, baked chicken legs or thighs are my kids’ favorite. Sometimes, I cook the chicken and rice together in a skillet on the stovetop, which takes about 30 minutes. And, the great thing about chicken drumsticks/legs or thighs is that it’s really hard to overcook and they need very little to add flavor; unlike chicken breast, which can dry out very easily and needs a little more seasoning....

I’ve always found it weird when people call a cake – death by chocolate cake. I mean it really sounds weird. My Aadi laughs too. Then a few years ago, I did eat a chocolate cake at a restaurant that really felt like I had died and gone to chocolate heaven. Over the years, I’ve made many chocolate cakes, and my family, friends, and customers have raved about my recipes....

The dough is typically made from water, butter, flour, and eggs, which creates a hollow shell perfect for filling. Cream puffs are believed to have originated in France and are often associated with French cuisine. The exact origin is unclear, but they have been enjoyed in France since at least the 16th century....
