Steak is great when served in classic applications such as with mushroom sauce or as surf and turf, but sometimes I like to change things up a bit and serve dishes such as this bold flavored lomo saltado. Don’t miss my other delicious beef dinner ideas including tender and flavorful churrasco, Steak Diane, air fryer steak and Cuban ropa vieja. My local Peruvian restaurant has the best food, and every time I go, I must order the lomo saltado....

So we finally got our first round of mangoes – not the great ones I have to agree, but I just couldn’t wait anymore. There were neither sweet nor sour, and they were just bland to eat as it is. I had been planning on making a mango cake, since the start of the year but after tasting these mangoes I knew it wasn’t going to happen. So, I quickly decided to make the best use of ingredients in my fridge and made the simplest yet most amazing Egg-free, Gelatin-free Mango Chocolate Mousse....

From the popular Alphonso to local variants like Rumani, Banganapalli, Raspuri, Sendura, Malgova, Himapasand, Sugar Baby, Badami and Mallika – we have had it all. It is like our little after-dinner dessert – these sweet mangoes. We are trying to make the best use of this summer season and the mangoes by buying them in bulk....

This cake is bursting with mango flavor in every bite. It is perfect to make during mango season. Another mango season favorite is my mango cheesecake.

Oh, these pretzels, yum! It’s obviously no secret that I love to make homemade soft pretzels. They’re honestly a really easy yeasted dough to make, and they always turn out so delicious. Throughout the fall, I have a lot of fun making soft pretzels. They’re just a fun Sunday or Monday night football treat. Plus my family loves them. I don’t always switch up the flavor of the pretzel, usually just the sauce....

Chocolate and mint are the perfect flavor pairing, I love to make minty treats such as peppermint patties, peppermint bark and these decadent layered brownies. When I need a quick dessert without a ton of effort, I often turn to brownies or blondies. They’re simple to make and people always go crazy over them! These mint brownies start with a boxed mix that’s baked up, then topped with layers of rich frosting and chocolate....

I have the busy back-to-school season in mind. I don’t understand why, but this is one of my favorite times of the year. When I was a kid I hated heading back to school. But what I loved was the idea that my family would be getting back into routines and back to some structure. If you know anything about me, you know I love a routine and I need structure....

Hey, hi and welcome to the first official post of Super Simple Summer Thursdays! After everyone’s response to last Thursday’s post, I decided to make super simple Thursday a thing for the summer!

Summer is short, so we need to enjoy all of the warmth, sunshine, and long nights that we can....

I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions, but I definitely have set some serious goals and I’m pumped to get started on them! Once of my goals is a whole month of healthy eats.

Nadan Mutta Curry is Kerala Style Egg Curry made with Coconut milk, a rich & creamy curry recipe that is very simple to make. It can be served with traditional Kerala & Tamilnadu recipes like Appam, Dosa, Parotta, Chapati, Poori or even bread! Although coconut milk is a staple in this Kerala special egg curry, it is spicy and hot unlike other coconut-based curry recipes. I served it with some homemade Parotta and it was a perfect treat!...

Sometimes when testing out a new recipe I’ll begin cooking and then the dish begins to take a completely different turn. That’s exactly what happed with this delicious pesto pasta. Originally the burrata cheese was never part of this recipe. But in the end, it ended up being the the KEY to creating a really delicious, really exciting pesto pasta. ‘ I know this looks super simple, and it is....

It’s hard to believe that we’re entering the second week of December and are only just two and half weeks out from Christmas…and only three and half weeks from the New Year. Where is the time going!? As I type this up I’m getting ready to take-off for NYC. By the time you all read this, I will be in the city. I have to say, I’m really excited for this trip, but equally excited to return home on Thursday, and finally be HOME for the remainder of the year....

Life has been at its crazy best and I have not been able to concentrate much on recipes, not that I was not cooking. In fact I have been cooking a lot, as kitchen is my solace and cooking my comfort. I made this delicious Panchmel Subzi a couple of days ago, for our week night dinner. It made an amazing restaurant style meal, with some lemon pickled onions and fluffy phulkas!...

Pani Puri is one of the most popular Indian street foods where crispy puris are filled with delicious spiced potato-based stuffing and are loaded with flavorful pani (water). Coming from a suburb in Chennai, I had never heard or tasted this dish until I moved to Bangalore for work. I still remember being shocked by the number of food carts selling Pani Puri on the street when I first moved here....

Far too long. I was just looking at the Half Baked Harvest home page and there’s not even one post containing chocolate. I can hardly believe it. I guess I’ve been too wrapped up in spring strawberry recipes and brunch cocktails…not that I’m complaining because I love these spring recipes. BUT sometimes you just need some chocolate, and today is the day when chocolate returns! And because it has been so long (honestly still in shock), I figured I needed to come at you guys with a chocolate lovers kind of recipe....

This year I’m starting a week early, for two reasons. Reason one: Thanksgiving is this Thursday and I think it just feels fitting to have a holiday drink for this big holiday too!...

Porkkanalaatikko – try repeating it five times in a loop. Quite a tongue twister right?! I have been trying to memorize this name ever since I prepared this at home and I have never got it right so far. But don’t you worry. This name might sound difficult, but the recipe is too simple. Google translate helped me understand this name better. Porkkanalaatikko literally means Carrot Box in Finnish. Porkkana – Carrot and Laatikko – Box....
