In a Punjabi house like mine, stuffed paratha topped with homemade butter is a regular Indian breakfast recipe during winters. Paneer paratha, Gobi paratha or Matar paratha is among my top choices for menus on weekends. And when its winters I make it to the point to make green peas dishes or matar recipes. I often make Hare Matar ke kabab, Aloo Matar , Matar paneer or Matar Paratha. How to make paratha is the first thing I asked my mother when I was a beginner in cooking myself....

This has seemed like an especially long week. It’s our first full week of school, so that might be it, or maybe it’s because it’s been a busy one with work and appointments. Or maybe it’s just because I know a long weekend is coming and I want it here now! We are staying in town and have a couple of birthday parties and a couple of pool parties to look forward to....

If you are like me, when it comes to dessert you crave chocolate. Some people have sweet tooth, and I have a chocolate tooth. Yes! that’s how it works. I crave chocolate post meals, especially after the light meals. A square of 80 % dark mostly satisfies the cravings. But, there are times when that square is not sufficient and those times this microwave mug brownie comes to the rescue....

You guys have got to make these beauties for Game Day (or any party or gathering)! Think of all the homey, comforting, robust flavor of French onion soup concentrated into flaky little pockets of buttery puff pastry… that’s what these Mini Cheesy French Onion Pies are and it’s going to be a staple at any party spread! These snacks are very easy to make and they are freezer friendly too, so you can make them ahead of time too....

4.88 32 Published Mar 11, 2022, Updated Jul 23, 2024 What is a Morning Glory Muffin? The original recipe for morning glory muffins came in 1978 from Pam McKinstry, the owner of the “Morning Glory Cafe” in Nantucket. The recipe was first published in Gourmet magazine in 1981 and it was chosen as one of the magazine’s 25 best recipes from the past 50 years in 1991. Since the first recipe came out there have been so many different variations of these muffins, but the original morning glory muffin recipe is made with all-purpose flour, white sugar, vegetable oil, shredded coconut, raisins, apple, pineapple, carrots, and nuts....

5 18 Published Feb 17, 2023, Updated Nov 14, 2023 The earthiness from the mushrooms and umami flavor from the tamari paired with the nuttiness and chewy texture of the barley is chef’s kiss! And since this is a one-pot meal it’s super easy to whip up and requires minimal prep work. Just cut your veggies, throw everything in your pot and voila dinner is served! Why You’ll Love This Soup It’s a comforting, hearty soup and packed with flavor....

Original post: It’s no secret that I’m a holiday-junkie. I love fun family traditions and my little family has been creating a lot of our own. But one holiday that we haven’t really done much for is New Years. Partially because my kids are so young that a holiday centered around staying up late hasn’t been of much interest and my husband and I have been total party poopers the past few years and usually end up watching the ball drop on tv and then hitting the sack....

A simple Piña Colada Tart, with buttery sweet shortcrust pastry, a creamy pineapple curd filling, and a light coconut whipped cream topping! Sweet and tangy is my jam. I made a lemon tart a few months ago that hasn’t made it to the blog yet, but I figured I’d share this creamy pineapple tart first instead. Because it’s just that good! There is no alcohol in this tart, so it’s a family friendly virgin piña colada tart....

With only 30 minutes of pressure-cooking time, the meat is so tender and the sauce so flavorful, you will be amazed. And then you will make ribs 3 times a week and not even feel a tiny bit bad about it. Start with a sweet and savory dry rub of smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder and a little salt and pepper and rub it all in. You’ll build your sauce right in the pressure cooker....

I don’t like pumpkin pie. That may come as a surprise since I’m obsessed with things like this and this and this. Also a surprise when considering that this time of year, I spend about 85% of my available brain power trying to discover new ways to incorporate pumpkin flavor into everyday foods. See, while there’s something about mushy orange pie that kick starts my gag reflex, there’s also something entirely intoxicating about the combination of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, all strung together with sweet brown sugar and delicate pumpkin in just about anything else....

Start by mixing up some quick dry ingredients. We have flour, baking powder, brown sugar, some spices, and a little salt. Use a whisk to mix those together until everything is incorporated. Then you’ll want to cut up some very cold butter (straight from the fridge) into small chunks. Since there’s not too much, I think hands work great here. Just gently flatten out the little pieces of butter and break them up into the dry ingredients....

This simple sabzi recipe tastes best when cooked in winters because red winter carrots are sweeter in taste and together with fresh peas they taste best. This is one of the easy sabzis to make, you just need a very simple tadka/tempering of tomatoes and garam masala. It makes a perfect sabzi to serve with freshly made roti, chapati, and paratha. I always make some extra sabzi so that I can use leftover Aloo gajar matar sabzi to make Stuffed Paratha or a sandwich filling to make these Bombay masala Toast....

Making Homemade Ice Cream This ice cream starts out with a simple base of cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla, with one special ingredient: almond extract. I’ve actually been adding almond extract to my regular vanilla ice cream as well and it adds the BEST flavor that no one can put their finger on but everyone loves! But when you’re making pretty much anything with cherries, it’s a must. Pre-Chilling Your Ice Cream Base I’ve found that pre-chilling this mixture makes a big difference in the finished ice cream so I try to mix up that part earlier and have it sitting in my fridge....

They were tasty. Clunky name and cost aside, I had some reservations–the little pouch of vegetables looked and felt pretty slimy and gross, but tasted just fine (this is not an ad or review, by the way–just doing a public exploration of my feelings here). But I couldn’t get over how this little mix of veggies, ham, and cheese could possibly go for $3 a cup. So I decided to make my own....

4.5 6 Published Aug 05, 2019, Updated May 24, 2024 Vegetable Curry with Curry Powder I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I am a huge curry fan. I’m always making different curry variations and customizing the ingredients depending on what is in season. Since I already have a shrimp curry recipe that uses red curry paste, I thought I would switch things up for this recipe. We’re using traditional yellow curry powder and keeping the recipe vegetarian/vegan....

If you have gotten bored of eating regular dosa this quinoa and oats dosa with lentils is one of the best and quick South Indian meal. Other than quinoa, oats and lentils being nutritious in this dosa recipe there is no need to ferment the batter. Traditionally rice and lentil dosa batter requires 8-10 hours fermentation time but you can make this quinoa dosa instantly. Why We Love this Instant Quinoa Dosa?...

I’ve long been a carrot lover. My hands and feet were a little orange-y for a number of years there when I would snack on copious amounts of raw baby carrots along with my lunch. Even my son had a bit of an orange tint and some red in his hair when he was born, which my family attributed to my carrot consumption. And while I have moved away from my daily carrot obsession, I still adore carrots....

Roasted sausages, sweet potatoes and tomatoes, tossed with spinach, basil, and hearty chunks of croutons & goat cheese, this warm panzanella is the perfect cold weather alternative to classic panzanella salad! I have never turned down dessert. EVER. That might be an odd way to start off a post about a salad, but the fact is, whether it’s January or July, my sweet tooth is just as sharp for delicious desserts!...

This really simple farro salad uses things you’ve probably already got in my fridge or freezer (that’s where I store my walnuts to help them last longer). Plus it comes together in no time, which I love on a weeknight. And on a weekend. I don’t know about you, but I don’t seem to have that much more time – or energy – on the weekends to fuss over food all day....

These vegan pancakes are light, fluffy and are made with just 6 ingredients that you probably already have on hand right now. Did you know that you don’t need eggs or milk to make delicious pancakes? It’s true! Hands down the best pancakes, vegan or otherwise. If you love pancakes, you might also enjoy Fluffy Vegan Banana Pancakes, Vegan Chocolate Pancakes or Freezer Whole Grain Pancakes. Ingredients Flour – I used regular all purpose flour here for the fluffiest texture, but feel free to substitute whole wheat pastry flour, spelt flour or a gluten free flour mix....
