You can serve this fusion indo chinese paneer dish for holiday parties, Diwali parties or make for yourself on days when you are craving bold spicy flavors. When it comes to indian vegetarian appetizers, anything made with paneer is always a good idea! Right? More paneer appetizers :- bang bang paneer, air fryer paneer tikka, peri peri paneer bites, paneer pakora I love making quick pastry tarts for parties because who doesn’t love puff pastry right?...

I love a good salad for lunch, I often whip up a quick orzo salad, ramen noodle salad, or this irresistible seafood salad. This salad can be served in so many different ways and it always gets rave reviews. I love a good seafood salad, and it’s actually so easy to make at home! I used to stop by my grocery store deli to pick some up, but now I just whip up a batch in minutes whenever the craving strikes....

We’re making schnitzel! This is a first for us. I’ve only made one other schnitzel recipe (that I can remember at least) and it’s in the HBH Super Simple cookbook. So this schnitzel is a first on the website and I’m so excited about it. It’s a bowl recipe so that already gives it a major advantage. We love the bowl recipes on the site. But the schnitzel, the Tzatziki, and all the “extras” hidden throughout this bowl make it extra special....

Yeah, so sorry! I just could not figure out a non confusing title for the recipe. It happens when you have killer fusion food (general term for the combination of various forms of cuisine) like this. It’s basically three recipes all wrapped into one, but made better with new additions and flavors. And it’s basically the BEST sandwich ever. EVER. It has texture, color and so much flavor. Now put all three of those elements together and you have one incredible Vietnamese, Thai and French fusion sandwich....

When the weather warms up, I use this skirt steak marinade to grill up a fantastic meal that the whole family loves. I serve my steak with grilled zucchini and oven roasted potatoes, then watch the rave reviews come in! In my opinion, skirt steak is an under utilized cut of meat and is one of my favorite grilling recipes. I love that it cooks quickly, tends to be less expensive and is packed with flavor....

Soya Keema Masala is a high-protein and healthy side dish made with Soya Chunks or meal maker. Soya Keema is prepared from dry soya chunks and the masala is a semi-gravy, thick curry that really masks the flavor of soya really well. In fact, with this veg keema masala it is very easy to get the same texture and consistency that of the meat. There are a number of variations that can be made on this simple recipe, depending on the taste preferences and availability of ingredients....

And the official countdown is on. We have just about a week and a half left from now until Thanksgiving, and surprise, I am excited! Not only am I looking forward to a good meal, but also a little downtime. It’s been hard to keep up with everything the last few months, but with the holidays here, it’s time to slow down a little and enjoy the magic of the season… Will I listen and take my own advice?...

It’s crazy that the Super Bowl is this Sunday. Most years I post a number of Super Bowl focused recipes, but this year it really just snuck up on me. I guess my focus has been much more on snowboarding, and the upcoming Olympics…and our big trip to Korea…than football. Oops. The good news is, I am finally sharing some game day recipes. Enter these spicy cauliflower bites with tahini ranch…better than chicken wings, and with a much healthier ranch…honest....

There’s nothing better than a meal that includes some fresh seafood! My family loves a classic bouillabaisse, zesty grilled tilapia, old fashioned seafood boil, seafood pasta and these delicious and simple steamed mussels. When I go out to eat, I can never resist ordering a big bowl of steamed mussels. I love the fresh and savory flavors! Preparing mussels at home may seem intimidating, but it’s actually easier than you think....

When life gives you buckets of strawberries, you make cake. I mean obviously, right? Or maybe you just eat them all, one by one? I could do both, but you know I love any an all cakes…and this cornmeal cake is high on my list. This cake is a little different from my typical chocolate loaded ones, but I promise, it’s so delicious. A moist cornmeal cake with honey and fresh strawberries, served slightly warm with a drizzle of a tangy buttermilk glaze....

When I asked you guys in last Sunday’s Favorite’s post if you wanted to see some Korean inspired food, the response was an overwhelming, yes. Thankfully, I was already planning on sharing a few recipes before I leave for Korea on the seventh (it’s getting so close!), but now I am even more excited because I know you guys are looking forward to these recipes too! It will be really fun to be able to see how Korean’s really make the dishes I am attempting to recreate....

YOU GUYS! So sorry for all the shouting here, but I am in LOVE with this simple…ish summery tart. There are some recipes that I just get way too excited about and this tart is most definitely one of them. It’s screams summer, it’s melt in your mouth good, and it’s pretty! All the things I love, and all in one tart. When scheming up recipes for the month, I had no idea this was going to be one of the recipes I’d create....

Yes, I love love love pierogi, and at this point probably have too many potato pierogi recipes on this site. But while I’ve always loved classic potato pierogi, I didn’t always love sweet potato pierogi. For the longest time, I thought about swapping sweet potatoes in place of potatoes, but the idea just never sat well with me. I love a good potato pierogi too much. But finally, when working on the HBH Every Day book, I made my first sweet potato pierogi....

Lamb isn’t that popular in India and I didn’t grow up eating a lot of lamb chops, rather mostly mutton. Muttons chops are fancy and expensive, so occasionally, mom would would treat us to her special masala mutton chops, and her recipe is the inspiration behind this recipe. The difference is that she simmered the chops with onions, yogurt and whole spices, however, I marinate the lamb chops in a simialr spice paste and then go on to pan sear them....

Sometimes it’s great to share classic recipes, but what I love most, is sharing a bit more creative recipes. Honestly, I really just like to do a mix. But today’s recipe is a little more on the creative side! I love Thai flavors, but typically I do things like Thai chicken or Thai veggie curry (my favorite recipe for Thai curry is in the cookbook). I don’t often cook with a lot of beef, but I loved the sound of a Thai Steak Sandwich as a twist on the classic steak sandwich....

Very special and exciting post today! I’m sharing what I truly believe is the best strawberry shortcake recipe. I know that’s a bold statement to make, but this recipe is extra special, as it comes from the dessert queen herself, Candace Nelson. If you’re a cupcake kind of person (or just love desserts), you’re likely familiar with Candace. She is the founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes and one of the best bakers I’ve come across....

When I am too tired some days, I resort to preparing Pongal for dinner. Contrary to what many people say/believe including S, I don’t find Pongal too heavy. Infact everytime Amma gave me a bowl of Pongal for breakfast during school days, I used to feel hungry too early. And thus Pongal was reserved for the weekends. A bowl of piping hot pongal with amma’s special onion chutney tastes divine and I can find my mouth watering with just the thought of it....

Because I made us an awesome – and SIMPLE summer soup that is perfect for a light Sunday night meal. I have been craving soup because of our dreary, cold fall like weather, but this soup is actually so summery. It’s light and full of all the summer produce that is basically everywhere right now. Today is also an exciting day because I get to tell you about how I have partnered up with my all time favorite Italian brand, DeLallo Foods....

Vazhaipoo Vadai – lentil-based banana blossom fritters are quite popular all over Tamilnadu and they are served as snack as well as a side dish in lunch menus. In this recipe of Vazhaipoo Vadai in Air Fryer, I skipped deep frying altogether and used very little oil to make crispy vadai in my air fryer. Air Fryer Vazhaipoo Vadai Vazhaipoo or Banana Blossom can be made into Kuzhambu or stir-fry but my most favorite remains to the vadai....

Well, what’s not to love here? Coconut, chocolate, and caramel, all of my favorites. These bars are true decadence, but yet they’re not completely horrible for us either. I mean, don’t get me wrong, these are not a health food bar, but I think as far as desserts go, they’re actually on the healthy…ish side. I don’t know, maybe that’s just me, but I’m going with it, because Friday’s need chocolate....
