As we enter into the early summer months, I’m really looking forward to cooking (and baking) with fresh produce. I love seeing what’s growing in everyone’s gardens and what the local farm stands and markets are carrying. When I made this pizza last week, we were experiencing some very beautiful spring weather and I was so inspired to cook with the overflowing produce in my fridge. I wanted something light, fresh, and colorful....

Assuming you like pork chops, I don’t know if there’s a better summer dinner. I know chicken is always popular, but after so many years of nonstop chicken recipes, I’m having fun cooking with different meats this summer. We’ve made lots of yummy steak dishes, and today, we have pork chops, which I’m shockingly becoming obsessed with. I really love this dish. A good butter-fried pork chop is the perfect pairing for a creamed corn sauce....

If you love garlic, you’ll love these lemony, garlicky shrimp which are on the table in less than 10 minutes. In my opinion, sometimes the most simple preparations of food can be the most delicious. You don’t need to add a whole lot to shrimp to turn them into a culinary delight. These garlic butter shrimp have just a few ingredients and can be on the table in minutes. They’re packed with flavor and perfect served as-is or over pasta....

I love to serve grilled vegetables during the warmer months. Some of my favorite include grilled zucchini, grilled corn on the cob, and these easy asparagus packets. Asparagus is a favorite vegetable in my house, even the kids will eat it! I love to grill asparagus during the warmer months, but I don’t love how the thin stalks slip through the grates of the grill and into the coals. Now I make grilled asparagus in foil – these packets take just minutes to put together and you end up with perfectly tender seasoned asparagus every time....

Foil packet recipes are easy to make with minimal cleanup required. Classics such as salmon foil packets and grilled asparagus in foil are always hits. These potato foil packets are my go-to summer grilling recipe, because let’s face it, you can never go wrong with bacon! Do you ever have those recipes you love to eat year round? Grilled potatoes in foil is one of mine and they’re so easy that I end up making them quite often....

There are a few things I am very much all about right now. Peaches, corn, burrata cheese, tomatoes, basil (all herbs in general actually), more peaches, more corn, more burrata. I think you get the idea, summer produce (along with cheese and carbs) are very much my jam right now. And I am embracing it the best way I know how. That means fun salads (more to come soon!), lots of pizza, pasta, and of course berry and peach filled desserts....

I love Gulab Jamun, a well-made one. And who doesn’t?! It is one of the universal desserts that almost every Indian loves, isnt it?! Our Deepavali is never complete without Gulab Jamuns being made. Our childhood birthdays were made special with a big bowl of delicious Gulab Jamun. There are a lot of ready-to-make mixes available, but nothing comes close to making it at home from scratch. For Deepavali this year, I tried my hands at making Gulab Jamun with Khoya and finally the recipe is here....

Who doesn’t love a cute Hocus Pocus cocktail? This is certainly one of my favorite spooky cocktails I’ve shared in a while. It’s so magical and fun! Asher, my younger sister, and I were chatting the other night about how much we love Hocus Pocus. Aside from Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus is our favorite movie to watch all October long. It’s a Halloween classic! You know I love creating a whole scene with our spooky drinks, and I certainly had fun with this one....

Basically all I want to make is bowl food. You know what bowl food is right? Noodle bowls, rice bowls, burrito bowls, soup bowls. I am a little bowl obsessed, but geez, bowl foods are fabulous. Ah huh, fabulous. Also, how do you guys feels about soba noodles? This was my first soba noodle experience and to be honest, I am not sure how I feel about them. I mean, the noodles with the dressing, the salmon and roasted veggies were so good, but I had a hard time with the color....

I am slowly gravitating towards a “make ahead prep” kind of a cook. With two kids, days can be pretty hectic and if there is a way I can save even 5 minutes while cooking, I will embrace it!. Indian cooking is unimaginable without ginger and garlic. These two ingredients go into almost every savory dish I cook. Garlic paste is convenient to use in my everyday cooking since it eliminates the need for peeling and chopping individual garlic cloves every time....

Happy first day of spring! Wow, it’s insane to me that winter has come and gone and we are already moving right into spring. I’m very excited to be slowly heading towards warmer days. With warmer, longer days comes fresher recipes, more color, and new flavors…all things I love! That said, we still have so much snow here in Colorado, so I’ll being sharing a combo of cozy and fresh recipes....

To say that I’ve been working on this pasta for a while now would be a bit of an understatement. For whatever reason, this very simple…ish pasta took me forever to perfect. But last week I finally got it just right, and I’m so excited to share all the details. This pasta is inspired simply by the overflowing rosemary bush in our greenhouse and my love of cherry tomatoes. I wanted to make a new summer pasta using sweet, juicy cherry tomatoes....

For me, an instant way to add restautrant style touch to indian meals at home is to either make my instant no yeast naan or to make jeera rice. These two side dishes always deliver and get nods from my family! Growing up, our meals centered around basmati rice prepared in a pressure cooker. Almost every day, we enjoyed steamed basmati rice alongside various types of dal or vegetarian curries....

Kambu Koozh is a gruel made with pearl millets and is a delicious & healthy recipe that is typically served as a breakfast or quick meal. The gruel or koozhu is made ahead of time and is fermented overnight at room temperature, before being served. It is one of the age old and traditional recipes that is super healthy and slowly is being forgotten in our busy day to day lives....

Chicken wings don’t have to be fried in order to be ultra crispy. This version uses a lemon and herb brine which adds tons of flavor and creates a super crispy wing. Chicken. We eat a lot of it. The girls love chicken so I know that it’s usually a safe choice for dinner. I however crave more variety. When I was at the grocery store I spotted some nice looking chicken wings....

Most of the times as a food blogger, your to-do lists are all about recipes to try, dishes to cook and trying to decode ingredients so that you can replicate it in your own kitchen. I have a long list of to-cook recipes and when I am bored, I look at that list to decide on a recipe and strike out a line item. What surprises me is that there are a lot of simple and taken-for-granted recipes too, in my to-cook list....

Is there anything cozier this time of year than a latte on a cold day? It’s honestly one of my favorite things. I often make a steaming apple or chai latte at home while cooking to keep warm. During the winter, that will turn into hot chocolate, but right now, I’m loving a good latte. My favorite is that pecan latte I shared a couple of weeks ago. It is so good....
