1. Start with a bagged coleslaw mix. This is NOT a mix with a pre-made dressing pack inside. Just the bag of shredded cabbage with carrots. Make sure to not get the extra thin shreds, as those will get soggy in the dressing. 2. Add some freshly chopped green bell pepper and shredded carrots. Just a little bit of fresh veggies added to the bagged mix elevates everything and adds a lot of extra crunch....
But I love to grow herbs because I use them so frequently that it’s so much cheaper and more convenient to have a pot of them on my back patio than to buy those tiny little packets. Last summer, I planted some big pots full of herbs. Then winter (an unusually long, cold, snowy winter by Louisiana standards) came and most of my herbs died. The rosemary and basil are kind of poking through, but the dill is long gone....
This matar makhane ki sabji is definitely not the one I recommend for your everyday Indian meal. But this rich mughlai curry or another mughlai gravy of malai kofta is are perfect recipes to make on special occasions or for an Indian party menu. Now when we are talking about special meals or party menu in the same sentence as Mughlai dishes let’s talk about Mughlai Cuisine too.

5 19 Published Nov 13, 2019, Updated Jan 23, 2023 What is Naan Made Of? As you’ll notice, we’re using naan instead of a traditional pizza crust for this recipe. If you’re unfamiliar, naan is a traditional bread served with Indian food. It’s made out of white or wheat flour and mixed with yeast, salt and water. While it is a flatbread you actually do let it rise for a few hours and then flatten and cook....
5 20 Published Jun 20, 2022, Updated Jun 20, 2024 Why You’ll Love These Brownies These brownies are made with oat flour, so they’re naturally gluten-free. No one will know that they’re made with good-for-you ingredients! They are still so rich and fudgy. Ingredients Needed oat flour – use store-bought oat flour or you can make your own using my oat flour recipe. If you’re making your own oat flour, about 1 1/4 cups rolled oats blended will yield 1 cup oat flour....
It’s officially back-to-school season in our area. We’ve got a week and a half until my kids start back, but I’m trying to get my head around school supplies, new backpacks and lunchboxes and water bottles. And I’m going to do a clothes inventory this afternoon. I feel like I’m always behind in that area and they move to a new size and all of a sudden, we are without any clothes that fit....
I hesitate calling these bad boys cookies because they have a texture more similar to whoopie pies–soft, light, and cakey. And the dough is hardly dough–it’s thicker than cake batter, but not by much. But seriously, I’m throwing semantics to the side (not to mention my attempts to eat healthy…blah…nothing like cookies to derail that train) in the name of deliciousness. For starters, you’ll need orange zest (lots–probably 1 very large orange or 2 smaller ones), orange juice concentrate, salt, baking soda, baking powder, flour, vanilla, sour cream (I’m pretty sure no bad cookie recipe ever calls for sour cream), an egg, sugar, and shortening....

I had some of the Whipped Feta, from this blog post, left over in my fridge, so I spread a layer of it over my dough, and then topped it with thin strips of proscuitto. Then I added a few chunks of fresh mozzarella. You don’t want to go too crazy with the mozzarella because it will also release some moisture and you don’t want it weighing it down too much....
How I learned to Cook People always ask me where I learned to cook. I really had to think about it at first since I can’t really pinpoint an exact point in my life where I became interested in all things culinary. I didn’t take a class, or watch a show, or read a book. I just…cooked. I always have. But as I reflect on my life and my past and all of the things that have made me into the person that I am, the answer to that question is crystal clear....
Last month on The Scoop we posed a question: If you could have 25% more of anything in your life, what would it be? People from all across the country and from all walks of life piped up with great ideas. Reading them just made me want more of everything!

If you like things like pepperoncinis or these sweet and spicy cucumbers, you’ll love these. Pickled onions are SO easy to make and then they last several weeks in the fridge.

I’ll spare you the gory details of our move down here, but I will tell you that it involved a missed flight, a week in an extended-stay hotel that my 3-year-old referred to as the “ho-temple” (and I won’t lie, he wasn’t too far off), and leaving our families on the other side of the country. Our first night here, we went to an Italian restaurant where the waitress called the little girl at the table next to us “little mama” and I felt so out of place and conspicuous with my “definitely not from here” accent and having NEVER referred to anyone as “little mama....
4.6 13 Published May 03, 2018, Updated Jun 17, 2024 Let’s break this dish down starting with the cauliflower. When I had cauliflower steaks in the restaurant, I couldn’t believe that they were simply roasted with olive oil. How could it be that easy? Well folks, it is. It’s all about how you slice it and how long you roast it. In terms of chopping a head of cauliflower into steaks, here’s how to do it: Cauliflower steaks are awesome on their own, but in order to turn them into a full meal we’re adding chickpeas and a creamy tahini sauce to the mix....
Just kidding. You know what really makes everything better? A spinal and some Oxycodone. She and I both have to have c-sections, so there’s not much relaxation breathing going on there.

As food writers, Kate and I take on freelance work and one of my recent projects was an assignment for Sea Cuisine....
Are you all having a wonderful start to summer?! We’ve had some great weather here in N.C. - warm and sunny but not too crazy hot. And it’s been lovely having the kids home but having a nanny help in the mornings and camps here and there to keep them happy and busy. (And to keep mama sane and able to get work done. ) We’ve got a pretty low-key weekend coming up and I’m honestly so thankful....
