Fun, fun, FUN things to chat about today! First and most obvious are these Coconut Almond Breakfast Pops! How fun and cute are they? I mean, ice pops for breakfast? Well, OK! Who can argue with that? Asher pretty much flipped over these and she didn’t even know that they were supposed to be breakfast pops! She just loved the creamy texture, fruity flavors and the crunch from that granola....

Yesterday I posted homemade Tandoori Roti recipe and today, its going to be a perfect side dish for any Indian Breads. This recipe is a must try for all egg lovers and goes perfectly well with any indian bread like Naan, Kulcha, Roti, Phulka or even Pulaos. One of the weekdays, I wanted to surprise the husband with egg curry but did not want to make anything regular. I started preparing this dish with no particular recipe in mind, using anything I fancied....

I like to use a slow cooker for side dish recipes on Thanksgiving to keep my oven open for the main course turkey. Some of my favorites include slow cooker cranberry sauce, crock pot sweet potato casserole, slow cooker creamed corn, slow cooker glazed carrots and this crock pot stuffing recipe. I always run into an issue when I’m preparing a holiday meal: not enough oven space! To solve this problem, I turn to other appliances such as my smoker, slow cooker or Instant Pot....

Ugh. Monday? Yeah, yeah I know. It is totally not fun. Especially if you are a Broncos fan. Sorry. Ok, but anyway this Monday is finally the day I get to share these lettuce wraps with you. I have been waiting too long. A whole two weeks or something like that. I know, life is so hard. I would have shared these last Monday, but the site decided to crash on me and I lost the whole post I had written....

Thing one, this luscious Penne Alla Vodka. It’s creamy, cheesy, a little boozy flavored (but not alcoholy cause all of the vodka cooks out), SUPER EASY and DELICIOUS. The sauce is made in the crockpot, so it’s kind of perfect for those nights when all you can muster up the energy to do is boil some pasta and call it a day…aka TODAY. I’m feeling like since it’s December, and we’re all still getting used to the cold, that nothing seems more perfect or cozier than a giant bowl of pasta, sauce and cheese....

If you guys follow on Instagram, then you probably know we had the biggest snowstorm over the weekend and into Monday. So much snow! In fact it was the most snow we’ve seen all winter with snow piling up pretty much all day on Sunday. The highway was closed, my brother’s flight out cancelled, and by mid-afternoon on Sunday, school for Monday was cancelled too. Basically we could do two things, head outside into the snow to play, or stay inside and be cozy....

It seems that you east coasters have to wait until tomorrow (12:24 am), but for the rest of the country, from the Central time zone over, today’s the big day! No matter where you live, the only proper way to celebrate the first day of summer is with ice cream. I mean, nothing screams summertime like homemade ice cream. Plus, if you didn’t notice, I am on a serious ice cream kick....

With lots and lots of cheesy meaty balls. Eww, that just sounds wrong. But that’s what the are, cheesy meaty balls. Oh, they are so good. I had big, big visions of these subs when I made them two months ago. Yes, these have just been hanging out on my computer for two months. I wanted them to be huge. Big, spicy and juicy meatballs stuffed with burrata and then all stuffed into a fresh sourdough baguette and layered with this homemade marinara sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan....

During the warmer months, I serve a variety of refreshing salads such as caprese salad, Asian slaw and this simple yet totally satisfying Mexican-style corn salad. There’s nothing better than fresh corn on the cob. While corn is delicious when boiled or grilled, it’s even better when it’s combined with fresh veggies and creamy avocado to make a fabulous corn salad. How do you make corn salad? Place corn kernels in a large bowl along with thinly sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and minced jalapeno....

After baking a few recipes for Christmas, I wanted to make something quick and this easy eggless chocolate pudding came to my rescue. Truth be told I had to make this recipe (and probably a few more) to finish off a box of Hershey’s Cocoa Powder that is going to expire soon. My original idea was to bake a batch of these delicious eggless brownies since it’s been so long I made them....

We finally had our first snow on Saturday…cozy season has officially begun. It’s the time for mid-afternoon steaming mugs of hot chocolate, creamy pasta, chili, and soups for dinner. So it’s my favorite time…sharing this ramen felt perfectly fitting for a chilly fall Monday. It’s the kind of ramen that’s so easy to prepare, so warming, and of course, delicious. Let’s talk about the details For this ramen, you can make it in the crockpot, instant pot, or on the stove....

Everyone loves the flavor of pizza, whether it’s pizza pasta, pizza muffins, pizza dip or these cute and easy miniature pepperoni pizzas. Both kids and adults go crazy over these little snacks! Whenever I ask my kids what they want for dinner, someone always responds by requesting pizza. These mini pizzas are a fun twist on the classic dish, and are great for snack time, parties or just to satisfy a pizza craving....

This creamy instant rabri recipe will entice everyone’s tastebuds at your next party without anyone guessing that you didn’t slog for hours. Read on! Lacey rabdi from streets of Old Delhi used to be my favorite. Prepared in the backyard of hole in the wall mithai (sweet) shops in giant kadai with few men laboriously stirring the milk with long ladle. Served over jalebi, gulab jamun, topped over falooda or kulfi or on its own in a kulhad(shallow earthen bowl), it was worth every penny!...

Making Eggless Vanilla Pound Cake has been on my list since forever. Almost a decade ago when I got my first oven, the first cake recipe I tried was this vanilla pound cake with condensed milk and I strictly followed the recipe from the little booklet that came along with the oven. I have made many cakes since but always wanted to make this plain vanilla cake and finally got around making it this December....

It’s that time of the year again…time for baking! I love to bring a selection of treats to gatherings, such as eggnog cake, Christmas tree brownies and these amazingly delicious eggnog cookies. Eggnog Cookies Ingredients To make this eggnog cookies recipe you will need butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, flour and sprinkles. For the eggnog frosting make sure you have butter, eggnog, salt and powdered sugar....

And clearly I could not be more excited! But first, happy Friday! How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Did you all fill up on turkey, gravy and stuffing? Was everything perfect? Do you have horror stories?!? TELL ME!! I so need to know. Mine was awesome, but I will tell you more about it on Sunday or Monday. I want to keep things short and sweet today since we are celebrating my younger brother Malachi’s 20th birthday and I need to actually try to be present!...

Say hello to the 2019 Harvest Salad. It’s hands down my favorite fall harvest salad I’ve created yet. Well, it’s at least very high on my list, and surely my current favorite. I also love last year’s apple salad, and the persimmon salad I have in the new cookbook, but you guys? This here salad is special. Why? Cinnamon honey roasted butternut squash. Shredded brussels sprouts. Pomegranates. Salty roasted pumpkin seeds....

Today we are doing dinner for breakfast and I promise, it is not weird at all. It is actually totally awesome. I mean carbs are breakfast food, right? Bagels, toast, cereal, oatmeal, grits, granola? Yup, all totally delicious and all totally carb heavy. So really, why the heck not pasta!? In all honesty this meal is a triple threat. You can serve it for breakfast/brunch/lunch or dinner. It works at any hour of the day....

And on a Monday too. Here is the thing, I have had these burgers just sitting on my computer for way too long. Like getting close to a month, but I wanted to wait and post them a little closer to the fourth of July cause well, I mean come on. Nothing is more American than a burger. Especially a burger with a pile of crispy oven fries sitting on top, a slice of melty cheese and sweet bourbon sauce that is honestly one of the sweetest things you have ever tasted....

I can’t think of a better recipe for today. It’s the height of summer, it’s crazy hot, so humid (for most people), and the weekend is finally here. Therefore, this can only mean one thing, fun, fruity, and icy cold cocktails are a must. And this Mojito-Rita? It’s so darn good. 100% inspired by my trip to Costa Rica. And 120% what you need to be making tonight, tomorrow, and every other fun day from now until summer’s end....
