Then look no further… Once you try this recipe, it will surely blow your mind with its perfect texture and taste. This roti is a bit crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like you get in Indian restaurants. What is Tandoori Roti? In every Indian household, roti, naan, and kulcha is the staple food. Whether it is curry or dal, they all taste great with them....
Rich butterscotch chips and a terrific chewy oatmeal texture combine to make these Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars different from any other cookies or bars I’ve had before now. I made these bars for the first time over 6 years ago. When Mel shared these Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars, I made them that same day! I took them to an event with friends that evening and they were the fastest thing devoured....
As much as this dessert looks fancy, this is a very simple pie recipe that results in an unforgettable finish for any meal. Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie Pumpkin is fair game for me year around. My family LOVES pumpkin. We eat Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal all year long, and yes, I do mean in the spring and summer too. Pumpkin Oatmeal is one of my youngest son’s favorite breakfasts, so pretty much any time I open a can of pumpkin, he’s likely to ask if there will be any pumpkin leftover to make oatmeal....
Music is a big thing for me. For my husband though, the radio is more of a “background noise” thing. I love country, and he’ll throw on the pop station when he gets in the car. This could have been a big deal breaker in the beginning, but I was willing to let it go because of one very important thing we have in common: our deep adoration for Mexican food....
Lamb biryani is succulent meat marinated in a blend of spices that enhance its flavor and tenderize it. The spices may vary, but commonly used ones include cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves. The marinated lamb is then layered with partially cooked rice, giving the biryani its distinctive layered appearance. Lamb Biryani is not an everyday dish. It’s one I make when I want to entertain or celebrate. Why? Simply because it got that feel of luxury....
Watermelon Fruit Salad We’ve made it to the middle of the summer, and along with the heat, comes the perfect excuse to indulge in all the vibrant, sweet fruits the season offers. Today, I’m sharing a simple yet irresistible recipe that’s already become my favorite snack this summer. Someone around here may have made this salad three times in the past couple of weeks just because she kept waking up craving it....
I can’t believe this holiday weekend is almost over. Just like Summer. Where does time go? And how is it that I can never ever seem to catch up? Time moves forward at the same steady pace, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour… while I keep upping my cruise control. Faster, faster, faster…. And still time eludes me. Remember in grade school, how the school year was forever long and seemed to drag by… Nine months felt like an eternity....
Amazingly thin and delicate, these cream cheese pancakes are much closer to a crepe than a traditional thick and fluffy pancake. I like these pancakes best when simply dusted with powdered sugar, but by all means, try my buttermilk syrup. They are also delicious when drizzled with maple syrup or honey, or you can go crazy and put peanut butter and jelly on top. Whatever floats your boat and your diet works here....
Macarons are the epitome of elegance and indulgence, offering a delicate balance of crispy, chewy shells and creamy, flavorful fillings.

With a rainbow of colors and a myriad of flavors, from classic vanilla and chocolate to delicious fruit and floral infusions, macarons are a feast for the eyes and the palate....
It is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of jaggery and tanginess of tamarind. You can also serve this chutney with regular dosa, Idli, or Adai. There are some South Indian recipes which are a favorite with us and this allam chutney is one of them. What is Alllam Pachadi? Allam translates to Ginger in Telugu and Pachadi means fresh pickle or chutney (a condiment). It is a classic Andhra style chutney in which the star ingredient is Ginger....
Wanting all things apple this fall? Head on over to my popular posts for Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Apple Cinnamon French Toast, and Apple Slab Pie. I actually tried to count the number of apple pies I have made since I started baking oh…ages and ages ago. I figured I’d count the ones I helped my mom make growing up, plus let’s say one for each holiday in the fall/winter and another one or two for potlucks and just because and honestly I lost track somewhere after about 50....
Sometimes I have those “aha!” moments where I realize I’ve been doing something the long way or the hard way for far too long and am only just now realizing that I could have been doing it a smarter or more efficient way and I think, how on earth did I not think of this before!? You know how corn on the cob always gets stuck in your teeth? When I married my husband we had corn on the cob one Sunday and he grabbed a steak knife and sliced off all of the kernels....
It is primarily a vegetarian dish that comprises bhurta(minced vegetable) made from eggplant(baingan) which is grilled over charcoal or direct fire, to infuse the dish with a smoky flavor. Traditionally, the dish is often eaten with Indian flatbread, Roti or Paratha or Rotla, and is also served with rice. In India, it is also part of the cuisines of Maharashtra, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal, and Gujarat. The dish has many names depending on the local language....
I am in l.o.v.e. with this chicken. So much so that I made a second batch of it immediately after consuming the first. Speaking of which… I think it’s about time for yet another round of it because seriously? It’s spicy heaven on earth. I adapted from several sources to create this incredible chipotle chicken recipe. Most of those sources were recipes claiming to be a copycat of the Chipotle restaurant’s grilled chicken....
Banana Waffles As with so many recipes, this one was inspired by the ingredients already in the kitchen. A bunch of very ripe bananas met my son’s request for waffles. I played with our Buttermilk Waffle recipe a bit and the happy result is a beautifully crisp waffle that is almost unbelievably light and fluffy inside with plenty of banana flavor. I am so giddy over these banana waffles that I made them twice this week, just to make sure they were as perfect as I remembered....
While visiting my sister Jenny several years ago, she made these BBQ Chicken Stuffed Potatoes for us. Perfectly simple, filling, and as easy as you can imagine, we ate them with enthusiasm. I knew right away that I’d be adding BBQ Chicken to my list of stuffed potato recipes to make. Little did I know that this would rapidly become one of our family’s favorite meals. Whether it’s a last-minute use for leftover chicken, or the reason we swing by Costco to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, these BBQ Chicken Stuffed Potatoes are a meal we happily eat at least a couple of times a month....

If you have a salad craving, you’ll definitely want to check out Corn Salad, Thai Chicken Salad, and Strawberry Spinach Salad. My sister in law brought a similar salad to my house for Sunday dinner one weekend and I loved it so much I had to create my own version. The combination of dark leafy greens, fresh fruit, and cooked pasta or rice is a little unusual but works so well together, especially when you incorporate some fresh avocado, a little cheese, and the most amazing creamy balsamic dressing....
