These vegetarian curry puffs are easy to make and packed with so much flavor! I’m sure you guys know how much of a soft spot I have for my curry recipes and pretty much anything with curry flavor. My Sri Lankan roots really run deep when it comes to a hearty curry. We LOVE making curried appetizers, and they are a quintessential part of any south Asian kid’s childhood. Some of my favorites growing up were fish cutlets, fish patties, savory crepe rolls (also called Sri Lankan Chinese rolls), and of course these curry puffs!...

So why would I assume a dragon’s blood is red? The truth is I didn’t. 🙂 I did quite a bit of research into what color dragon blood would be, ha! The possibilities are of course limited, either red (hemoglobin like yours and mine and other vertebrates’), blue (hemocyanin like in octopuses for example), or even green (like some worms, and rare lizard species with high levels of biliverdin). But by my basic reasoning I figured that dragons are land based animals so it only made sense for their blood to be like ours – red....

You’ll need four things for this recipe. A 13 ounce jar of Nutella (that’s the small jar), a large or extra large egg, a couple tablespoons of butter, and flour. Totally random un-sponsored side-note: I really like the new branding on Gold Medal flours. Have you guys noticed those? They’re all in different colored bags with cute fonts and graphics. If they had a marketing meeting and tried to design packaging to woo middle-aged female consumers to buy their product because of aesthetics, it totally worked....

Ingredients and Equipment Puff Pastry – you can find puff pastry in the frozen food section. It’s often near the desserts and pie crusts. Since this recipe only has 2 ingredients, if you can find a high-quality all butter puff pastry (Trader Joe’s is a good option) that would be best. But Pepperidge Farm is the most widely available in most major grocery stores, and while it’s not all-butter, it works great as well....

First off, I have to wish a very happy birthday to my Mom today. She’s pretty much the best mom out there, and no, I won’t accept any challenges to that. Really though, I’m so lucky to have her - to have always had her - as my mom and in my life. Here’s to hoping she has a fabulous day! OK, let’s talk food. Recently, I shared easy baked lemon chicken and a 15-minute skillet lemon chicken that are so easy to put together, so flavorful and really versatile....

I’m happy to be back home of course, and I may require all week to recover from all the fun we had, but I’ll miss hanging out with those ladies all day and night!...

5 43 Published May 15, 2022, Updated Jun 29, 2024 I already have an avocado caesar dressing on the site, but I was craving the real deal caesar dressing one night, so I decided to whip up a healthier version with Greek yogurt. And if I do say so myself, this dressing is absolutely delicious and is packed with all the caesar flavor you love while being egg-free and lighter in calories and fat than a traditional caesar dressing....

These can be served either hot or at room temp, or even chilled. I like using a medium sized zucchini- so the slices are about the same size as you’d get with a long baguette. However if you’ve got big fat tomatoes, you may want to go with a big fat zucchini to match. Up to you! Slice the zucchini in 1/4-inch thick slices at a slight angle. Brush or toss with a little olive oil (I used our Basil Olive Oil) and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper....

Today I’m re-sharing a long-time favorite. ❤️ This easy, healthy white turkey chili has been a family go-to for years, and it needed some refreshed photos and a fresh look.

There are several different methods of caramelizing nuts, but this is my favorite because I think it’s the easiest. You make sort of a caramel coating and toast the nuts in it as it cooks as opposed to just melting plain sugar which can sometimes end in disaster. In these pictures I’m using macadamia nuts, for the Steak and Mango Salad, but you could do pecans, walnuts, whatever. And let me just say that these are g o o d....

Ingredient Notes Onions – You can caramelize any onion variety, but the sweet ones are especially fantastic: Walla Walla, Mayan, Texas Sweet, Oso Sweet, Vidalia, Mayan Sweet, Maui, etc. Keep in mind that the onions will greatly reduce in size as they cook. I usually estimate a half an onion per person if I’m topping a burger or steak. They’ll shrink to about half of the original volume. Instructions Serving Suggestions I put this batch on a chicken burger, which was delicious!...

Budgeting for a remodel project The first thought of any remodel is “How much is this going to cost??” The problem with big, or even small, remodels is the whole If-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie thing. One thing almost always leads to another and sometimes it’s hard to find a good stopping point. With this considered, lay out ahead of time what your plans are, and what your limits are. Get a realistic idea of the costs involved and then definitely pad them!...
