I am shoving things like Grilled Salmon and Pineapple, Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos with Manga salsa, Avocado Spring Rolls, Ice Cream and now coconut in your face. I hope you don’t mind. It’s a phase. I go through them. Sometimes they go as quick as they came on and other times they stick around for while. I have a feeling this whole tropical phase is gonna stick around a while....

Eggless Rose Milk Cake is a simple and easy recipe that’s worth any celebration as it is rich and decadent too. I made this eggless rose milk cake as a birthday cake for our darling daughter’s first birthday and there could not have been a better cake that was fitting for the occasion. This is a version of tres leches cake (Spanish three milk cake) precisely eggless rose milk tres leches cake recipe made with three different milks and it is super soft, moist and really tasty....

I love to serve an assortment of snacks when I’m entertaining, including options such as smoky chipotle salsa, pepperoni pizza pockets, hearty chili cheese fries, a zesty jalapeno cheddar cheese ball, elegant bacon wrapped water chestnuts, and these delectable garlic parmesan wings. In my opinion, you can never go wrong with chicken wings, especially for game day. They’re the perfect handheld snack that are fun to eat, and the flavors can be customized in endless ways....

Can you believe it, I made a super savory snack. Not chocolate, and not even one covered in cinnamon and sugar. Wait, what? Yeah, I don’t know what is going on, but I am feeling like I need more savory appetizers and snacks on the site. That, and I am kind of thinking ahead to the holidays. Blame it one-hundred percent on the snow. Snow? Yep, we’ve gotten so much snow the past tow days....

One of my favorite types of recipes to create is a bowl recipe. I love building multiple delicious layers of the yummiest foods. At this point I’ve shared more “bowl” recipes than I can count, I really love them all. When I set out to make this recipe, it actually started out as a sheet pan style dinner. But after creating the recipe, I just wasn’t in love with the dish....

With every season, I find new inspiration, and right now, I’m excited about summer grilling, I think everyone is. After a long winter and spring, I’m excited to be outside. Sharing simple but delicious summer recipes is what we all need right now! I’ve been craving buffalo chicken! At first, I was just thinking I’d do some grilled buffalo chicken, but that felt boring, and tacos sounded equally good. So I thought, why not grilled buffalo chicken stuffed inside crispy shells?...

Chicken tenders are inexpensive, quick cooking and are perfect to toss on the grill. Add an easy marinade to the mix and you’ve got tender and flavorful chicken that’s great as-is, or served on a salad or in a pasta dish. We eat a LOT of chicken tenders in this house. I prefer them to chicken breasts simply because they cook so much quicker. Chicken tenders are also great for soaking up a flavorful marinade....

You guys, if you were watching in on my house right now you would be laughing your butts off. Oh the things that are happening over here. Most of the them are not really appropriate to share, but I think you need at least a little family drama info. For starters, there are too many Gerards in one house, and things have been a little odd since my Mimi got here on Tuesday....

Also known as hariyali murgh (murgh = chicken) or hara bhara chicken, this recipe is gluten free. It makes a lip smacking starter or appetizer or can be served for a full meal with sides. In indian homes, green chutney is a star ingredient. Often, mom would make a quick paste with green chutney in the fridge, yogurt and spices and marinate chicken in it. Then she cooked the tikka on a hot tawa....

I hope everyone is reading today’s post after spending a wonderful Christmas Day with family and friends. And if you don’t celebrate, I hope your day was enjoyed and filled with things you love about the holiday season. So many of us are hosting family this week. Cold winter days ensure everyone brings a serious appetite to the table. Knowing what to make can always be tricky. Below, I have ideas for today through New Year’s!...

And it’s not even officially summer yet. I know, I know, I just can’t help it though. The pretty heirloom tomatoes are only just starting to show up, so I’m waiting a bit on posting my tomato recipes…but trust me, those are coming too! For now, it’s all things summer fruit and this fun honey strawberry apricot tart is just the beginning. I spent the weekend working on my summer content plan, and you guys, I am so excited!...

The first day of fall is this coming Sunday. As you can all tell, I’m excited. It will be a busy but fun autumn and holiday season, and I just can’t wait! I’ve been brainstorming my fall recipes for weeks. These cookies have been at the top of my list since day one. I mean, come on, how delicious do they sound? Inspired by our new apple cider candle, I wanted to bring those crisp, cozy autumn scents to life in cookie form!...

My next recipe in the Diwali Sweets and Snacks series is special, for it is one of the few desserts I learnt to make back in those days of growing up. Instant Jalebi – a recipe that is too simple yet so complex to nail down. Having grown up in the suburbs of Chennai, we had no access to outside food. Street-food was unheard of and we would visit the only restaurant in our locality like once a year....

I love to serve up festive drink recipes year round to celebrate all the various holidays. Some of my favorites include a poinsettia cocktail, Mexican mule, vodka punch, champagne punch, pomegranate margarita and this simple but delicious Irish mule. One of my go-to drink orders is a Moscow mule. It’s light, refreshing, easy to sip and pairs well with so many types of food. This Irish mule is a spin on classic mule cocktails....

A South Indian breakfast is never complete without a range of chutneys and Sambar. As we are a family that loves our carbs for breakfast, most of our mornings are filled with typical South Indian breakfast recipes like Idli, Dosa, Pongal or Upma. I usually make the classic coconut chutney, which happens to be the most favorite for my family. When it is just my husband and me, I make my favorite peanut chutney – with or without tomatoes....

I know so many people who love fresh lemons. Lemon juice, lemon rice, lemon rasam, lemon tart, lemon soup, lemon cake – whats not to love about something that is so fresh, summery, fragrant and delicious?! At this point I must confess that I am not a lemon person at all. I like lemon flavor but I don’t love it. In fact even after growing up in a home with lemon tree in the backyard, I didn’t appreciate what beautiful flavor lemon is all about....

This simple Lemon Pesto Burrata and Brown Butter Gnocchi makes for the perfect spring dinner. Store-bought gnocchi with golden garlic cooked until crispy, then tossed with basil pesto. Serve this quick-cooking gnocchi with creamy burrata cheese and sautéed asparagus. Every bite is layered with delicious spring flavors. It’s officially spring! Now that I’ve had a glimpse of warmer days I’m really starting to lean-into (and be inspired by) spring recipes....
