About My Recipe Besan Bhindi, also known as Besan Wali Bhindi (Bhindi = Okra, Besan= Gram Flour)is indian bhindi recipe made with fleshy and sweet summer okra cooked in a masala of onion, garlic, besan and spices. It is a one-pan sabzi which takes under 30 minutes to make. I make this sabzi how mom used to make it. Her method is influenced by both the rajasthani besan bhindi as well as maharashtrian zunka (dry besan dish belonging to regional marathi cuisine)....

Have you ever wondered why spring seems like it’s brunch season? I always tend to share breakfast recipes in the spring, especially in the weeks/days leading up to Mother’s Day! I guess Mother’s Day really inspires me to create the yummiest breakfast and brunch dishes. If there’s one cuisine my mom really loves, it’s sweet brunch. She is a pancake, Dutch baby, crepe, and French toast kind of girl. She’d never turn down a homemade brunch....

Soo, you think we can all get in on this whole Pizza Thursday thing?? I know it doesn’t quite have the ring of Taco Tuesday, but let’s be real, anything with the word pizza in it sounds pretty dang GOOD. Ok, ok and pizza has a way of curing all. Meaning stress, headaches and all the “oh man, I wish it was Friday” thoughts that are flowing through your head right now....

You can never go wrong with a cool salad on a warm day, my family goes crazy for creamy cucumber salad and chickpea avocado salad. You can also never go wrong with broccoli salad, because bacon makes everything taste better! Broccoli salad is a classic dish that’s enjoyed year round at picnics and parties. It’s easy to make, feeds a large group and is totally irresistible. In my opinion, this version of broccoli salad is the best one around – it’s got plenty of bacon, a hint of sweetness from the apples and cranberries, and a nice crunch from the sunflower seeds....

I mean, I’d gladly eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Especially these hazelnut crepes, there’s just something so incredibly special about them. I think it’s the combo of hazelnut flour and the LAND O LAKES® European Style Super Premium Salted Butter that has me semi-obsessed. The combo is one you don’t want to miss out on. Plus, plus, plus (sorry, I am pretty excited over here) these crepes get filled with goat cheese, topped with a caramelized mushroom and kale sauté, and then drizzled with honey....

No Seriously, I think I have an issue. I just realized that all of my recipe ideas for the next two months are SO fall-like that you guys might actually start to get annoyed with me. AND I have so many recipes I want to share with you that I wish I could post like two times a day. I mean, I would if I could, but I’m already a crazy person as it is, so adding more posts to my schedule really isn’t too realistic....

Even though I’ve been excited to share this recipe for weeks, I held onto it for as long as possible. But now that it’s officially summer, and the 4th is less than 2 weeks out, the time has come to share this recipe! I’m sure it comes to no one’s surprise, but we love bell peppers over here. Growing up my dad would top his pasta dishes and pizzas with slices of bell peppers – I just LOVED them....

I love to make our favorite Chinese food dishes at home including crab rangoon, fried rice and this easy and delicious lo mein. Whenever we order from our local Chinese restaurant, my family requests chicken lo mein. I decided it was time to learn to make it at home, and it’s actually quite easy to make! This lo mein works great as a main course, or can be served alongside other Chinese dishes for a complete meal....

I’m looking forward to the next couple of days, but I’m also excited to be sharing a new recipe. I’ve been wanting to share this bowl since the day I made it!! It’s so fun, delicious, and a great recipe for spring/summer....

Because really, pizza is the best. And it is also kind of perfect for these cold, cold winter days. In the last twenty-four hours I have made four pizzas. Four whole big pizzas + a batch of pasta, some pita bread and some failed queso fundido. And ok, maybe some chocolate sweets too. Anybody need some food? I have a lot and surprisingly not too many mouths to feed right now....

It isn’t the holidays without some fun drink recipes! When I’m entertaining, I offer festive favorites such as a Grinch cocktail, Christmas sangria, Jack Frost cocktail, cranberry mimosa and these beautiful and easy Christmas Jello shots.

One, it’s freezing here, like freezing, and I want fall to come back ASAP. Sound good universe? Mmm, k. Two, cold weather instantly brings one meal to my mind… CHILI. Three, chili to me has always meant Cincinnati style…cause um my mom knows best… and she loves the addition of the carbs. It’s the only way SHE will eat chili! I guess that chili doesn’t always mean Cinci style though, since I have quite a few chili recipes on this here site....

I’ve hit that stage of the winter season when I begin to crave color, freshness, and exciting flavors. Well, in addition to more cozy recipes, of course. Here’s the deal, living in Colorado has its perks. And, for the most part, I really do enjoy living way up here in the mountains. That said, it’s also often freezing cold and always very, very white. Especially on snowy days when truly all you see is white on the ground and white in the sky....

As long as I can remember, our Sunday lunch was standard. Amma’s special coconut-mint based vegetable biryani and onion raita. The preparations would start as early as 10 in the morning. Amma starts with peeling garlic and chopping ginger for the ginger-garlic paste which was otherwise seldom used in our household. At times, I helped her in chopping vegetables. And when we were in the mood to get creative, we cut the vegetables in different shapes and sizes....

Or do we… of course we do, especially if it’s this cranberry roasted butternut persimmon salad. It’s so delicious you almost forget you’re eating salad, there’s just so much more going on in this bowl than just greens! Plus, I mean, there’s fried goat cheese here too. Yes, FRIED goat cheese! I think it’s safe to say that as far as holiday salads go, this is the one! It will even have you going back for seconds!...

This post is sponsored by Land O’Lakes. There’s nothing I love more than a festive dessert. I know I’ve said this many times, but this time of year is truly my favorite. Something about the holidays always brings out my most creative side. I love the types of recipes I share in November and December more than any others throughout the year. This gingerbread cake turned out even better than I envisioned, so I am so excited to share the recipe with you guys....
