And we’re back with yet another salmon rice bowl! I’m in love with these bowl-style recipes right now. I have fun dressing them up and making them pretty all while adding delicious flavor. It’s all these garden herbs, they always inspire new recipes for me. I love to use them and will be so sad to see them go at the end of September. So, I’m using them up now and taking advantage of the late summer harvest....

December is the busiest month of the year. The days might be short, but our lists are a mile long. Between, work, family, and holiday festivities, it’s a lot. And I know for so many that dinner can quickly become an after thought. I get it, but that’s why I love recipes this. It’s sticky Asian inspired chicken, but made at home, and with very littler effort. When my brother Red was visiting last week he asked for a spicy Asian dinner....

Whether it’s stuffed cabbage, stuffed zucchini or these stuffed tomatoes, food just tastes better when it comes in an edible package! I’m always looking for new ways to switch up our dinner routine, and on a whim I decided to try making stuffed tomatoes. I filled my tomatoes with hearty mixture of sausage and rice, then topped them with crispy breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. A new favorite dinner recipe was born!...

Starting the week off with a super healthy, meatless Monday recipe that’s filling, summery, and delicious. I know that’s a lot to live up to, but this recipe does! After a 4 day weekend, I could not think of a better recipe to share. If you spent the weekend like my family, you were outside, grilling, sipping on cocktails, and eating plenty of delicious…authentic Costa Rican dishes. Ok, so maybe you didn’t spend your long holiday quite the way we did....

Sweet, sweet Cuban coconut balls, to be more specific. Aka the bestest kind of Cuban street food around. Let me explain. I was doing a little research on Cuban food for an upcoming post (oh you just wait, it’s going to be SOOO good) and I came across these coconut balls called Coquito Acaramelado. Pretty much immediately, I knew I had to try to recreate this amazing Cuban street food....

Few years back, I detested the word masala. I wanted anything and everything plain. Biryani was not liked much and I ventured into making more of pulavs. Thankfully I outgrew that stage and now enjoy both pulav and biryani. But still in a corner of my heart, I prefer pulav. The subtle flavours. The aromatic rice. The taste and the freshness. From a simple vegetable pulav to onion pulav to green peas pulav to cashew pulav – I have tried it all....

I always put out a big spread of appetizer recipes on Thanksgiving day, including fall favorites such as sweet and creamy pumpkin dip, cheese ball bites, slow cooker cranberry meatballs, and a Thanksgiving charcuterie board. Charcuterie boards are all the rage right now, and for good reason! They’re easy to make, look really fancy, and there are so many choices for even the pickiest eaters. I like to take my meat and cheese displays a step further by making seasonal versions....

It’s time! It’s finally that time of year to share all of our holiday recipes from the old to the new. I’m sure many of you have already read through Our 2024 Thanksgiving Menu and Guide and are starting to plan for your gatherings. It’s such an exciting time! This year, our family Thanksgiving is going to be small, and while I will miss our big group, I’m excited to create a dinner I know everyone at the table will enjoy....

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed some time celebrating your mom. Did you mix up some fun cocktails, bake a pie or a cake, have a family dinner via Zoom? Whatever you did, I hope you had a great weekend. Today’s post was meant to be a salad, and you’ll still be seeing that salad, probably later this week, but you know? After a very relaxed Mother’s Day weekend, that no one wanted to see end, this fun southern-inspired cajun shrimp just makes Monday a little more enjoyable....

It feels like forever ago that I made them and I am SO sorry they are just getting posted now. Now that we are in the heat of summer, with long hot days (getting shorter by the day though 🙁 ). The time that I can post these is dwindling down. So it’s high time to make some popsicles and enjoy these dog days of summer until summer is no more....

These cookie recipes are perfect for baking exchanges, gift giving and parties. There’s nothing more satisfying than a warm cookie and some hot chocolate or coffee on a cold day. The holidays are full of magic, and in my own personal opinion, a good cookie only adds to that magic. I suppose just about any cookie could be made into a holiday cookie, however, there are some cookies that just scream Christmas for me....

These amazing recipes will take your Easter dinner to the next level. You can enjoy cupcakes, cookies, candies, pies, cakes and more! There’s an Easter dessert idea for every gathering, big or small. Do you plan a big meal for Easter? I love a big Easter spread. It’s great to have a succulent ham like my Easter ham or my honey baked ham. I also enjoy some of my favorite sides such as cream cheese mashed potatoes and candied carrots....

You guys really have no idea how long I’ve been dying to share this pumpkin butter recipe with you all. I’ve wanted to make homemade pumpkin butter for years now, but just never got around to it. But when I made these cookies last November, I decided to make them using my own pumpkin butter. I finally experienced just how amazing homemade pumpkin butter really is. After that, I knew that next year I had to share my spiced pumpkin butter recipe with you guys....

It’s just two days until Christmas Eve and these Ritz crackers are about to change your world. Okay. Fine. That might be a little dramatic, but I think you get my point. These crackers, while they are very simple, are also very, very, very, good. I hesitated to post this recipe, because, well, really all I’m doing is telling you how to butter and season Ritz crackers. This recipe is basically just all seasoned up Ritz crackers....

You can take out a person from a place but you can never take away the place from the person. I’m no different from that. Being born in Andhra and brought up in Chennai, I am almost a Tamil girl, except that my roots are still in Vijayawada. Growing up, my parents only spoke Telugu with us at home. And most of the food prepared at home was from Andhra cuisine....

Today I am sharing a very basic, simple Andhra recipe – Aratikaya Vepudu, crispy slow roasted raw banana fry. All these years of blogging, I never once thought of sharing this recipe because there is very simple and it is something I grew up eating. But food isn’t all about recipes, it is also about the stories and love behind certain dishes that can’t quite be captured just by sharing the recipe....

I am so happy you came!! Although, I can’t believe how fast you arrived (it was a busy week), but hey, no complaining here! So I’m feeling very on point and straight forward today. I really just want to tell you about this banana cream pie and how epic it is. My dad told me it’s his favorite dessert of the moment. But the guy really loves the combo of chocolate, peanuts and bananas, so I kind of knew this would be his thing before he even tried it....
