Happy Friday, and happy weekend! And oh my gosh, happy summer. It’s Father’s Day weekend, which is just crazy, but with summer here and fun celebrations ahead, I can’t help but be excited!

I dunno about you guys, but I do believe that almost all muffins can be made better by adding a little streusel. The combo of delicious buttery streusel with these moist peachy muffins just really works for me. Meaning I think these muffins are freaking DELISH. A little on the sweet side, but um, when could that ever be a bad thing?!? And hey, did you see… zucchini is involved, so that totally cancels out all the sugar in my mind…muahahaha....
Look, I know this recipe might look and sound pretty basic, but please don’t knock it till you try it. It’s one of our current favorites.

Here’s the story…everyone from Creighton on down (yes all of my brothers), Asher, and my mom adore fried rice....

I’ve been wanting to make a crispy glazed salmon like this one for forever now....

You can’t go wrong with an icy cold drink during the warmer weather months. Some of my favorite drink choices include strawberry lemonade, cherry limeade and fruit agua frescas.

These cool drinks are perfect to serve with some of my favorite homemade Mexican dishes as well....
Is this a spring recipe or what? I am so excited about this recipe, it’s delicious. What I love most about this dish is that it really reminds me of grandma, whom I’m missing so much these days (read more about that in yesterday’s favorite’s post).

My next recipe in line for Deepavali Sweets and Snacks series is a totally delicious and our very own Boondi Laddu. I have already shared Sweet Boondi recipe previously and this recipe is only a continuation of it. This is a South Indian laddu recipe and as soon as any one hears the word laddu, this would be the first to come to their minds. From the boondi to this laddu recipe, although the preparation remains the same, the proportions are slightly different as we need to be able to make perfectly shaped laddus that are juicy and sweet....
A complete meal with protein, starch and veggie all in one pot? That’s my idea of the perfect meal! When I’m looking for a simple one pot dinner option, I turn to pizza pasta, chili mac or this simple yet satisfying braised chicken. I do a lot of one pot cooking. Why is that? The main reason is that by the time I’m done cooking dinner and everyone has finished eating the kitchen is a disaster....
Growing up, with the leftover chashni (sugar syrup) from gulab jamuns or jalebis or murrabas (preserved fruits), my badi mummy would quickly make shahi tukda. Sometimes she used to deep fry the bread, other times she would simple pan fry it in ghee to crispy perfection, dunk in chashni and pour over a quick rabdi. If you ask me, a bit too much work for a little leftover syrup, however, I also admit that those golden fried nuggets of bread dripping with rabdi were one of the most delicious treats....
