There hadn’t been one day of sunshine or warmth this past week until yesterday (which was gorgeous!). We’ve had blustering snow, incredibly cold temperatures, and very winter-like weather. I can’t say I hate it, though, only because this is the one time of the year (November and December) when this kind of weather doesn’t upset me. It’s cozy season, and I’m all about it! My Creamy White Chicken Chili is one of my family’s top favorite cozy season dinners....

You guys, I am not going to lie, at this point I really don’t even know what day it is. This entire time I’ve been in South Korea, I think I have asked what day it is and what the time is over and over again. South Korea is one day and sixteen hours ahead of MST, so the jet leg struggle was, and is, real. Because of work, I needed to be going back and forth between US time and Korean time and for me, it just got way too confusing....

With the Olympics starting up on Thursday, and the Super Bowl to follow, I’m all about creating some fun recipes with sports in mind. That said, these have been on my “to-make recipe list” for a while now. My brothers are big chicken guys, especially bite-sized chicken covered in sauce. They usually request some kind of buffalo chicken, but I thought I’d throw them a curveball and do something southern-inspired....

Paneer Bhurji is a delicious preparation of scrambled cottage cheese with minimal spices and a masala mixture of onions and tomatoes. With Paneer being protein rich, this is a boon for many vegetarians and those who are looking for healthy meat substitutions. Usually when I make Paneer/Cottage Cheese at home, I prepare some Paneer gravy based dishes that are popular in restaurants. Be it Paneer Butter Masala or Paneer Tikka Masala or the likes of it, there is some level of preparation required....

Serve this luscious north indian vegetarian curry with naan, tandoori roti or parathas, jeera rice or roti for a comforting meal anytime. A true blue north indian like me, needless to say, loves paneer! In Delhi restaurants, you will find all sorts of paneer dishes and this finger licking paneer variation used to be one of my favorite things to order when eating out. Paneer or chicken lababdar is a common dish on menus of north indian restaurants and dhabas(road style diners)....

Paneer Methi Matar Malai is a rustic, but creamy delicious Dhaba style curry made with cottage cheese, fresh fenugreek greens and green peas. It is spicy, with hints of sweetness from fresh green peas and mild bitterness from the fenugreek leaves. I love dhaba style curries as they are quick to make and tasty too. Traditionally, paneer methi malai matar is white in color and is made without the use of tomatoes and as onions & cashews as the base of the gravy....

Peppermint bark is great on its own, but when you take those flavors and add them to cookies, you end up with an extraordinary treat that’s festive and delicious. Serve these cookies with other Christmas recipes such as Grinch cookies, peppermint patties, rum balls, M&M cookies and eggnog cake. You can never have too many holiday cookie recipes, especially when chocolate and candy canes are involved! These peppermint bark cookies are fun, festive and so easy to make....

Pizza stuffed chicken is fun recipe that brings the flavor of fresh baked pizza to a chicken dinner. It is one of my family’s favorite ways to eat chicken. Some of my family’s other favorite chicken recipes are slow cooker chicken cacciatore and bacon wrapped chicken. My kids would eat pizza for every meal if I let them. Typically I make a homemade pizza crust and we add a variety of toppings, but this time around I’ve switched it up and put pizza toppings inside of chicken breasts....

When I know my day is going to be busy, I often put meat in the slow cooker to make meals like chicken tacos, barbacoa beef tacos and these flavorful pork tacos. I make a lot of tacos around here, mostly because they’re pretty simple to put together and my kids love them. I primarily do chicken or shrimp tacos, but this time I decided to change it up a bit with these pork tacos....

Happy Tuesday guys! This is one of those recipes that I’m overly excited to share. Normally I would save a recipe like this for a Friday, so that you’d have them just before the weekend. But then I thought about it, and well, I’m very much into the idea of these rolls as a Tuesday treat. I mean c’mon, we all need a Tuesday treat every once in a while!...

Just stopping in for a quick post to share this delicious raspberry rose baked french toast (gotta go pamper my mom you know!!). Perfect for an easy late spring/summer brunch, a girl’s gathering or just an extra special morning when in need of sweet, buttery baked bread! Of course, if you still have time, this would be an awesome addition to your Mother’s Day brunch. It’s kind of a show stopper, and I highly recommend making it for guests....

It’s pasta Bolognese…just minus the meat and plus a whole lot of delicious seasoned-up roasted cauliflower. Not traditional, but SO GOOD. My brothers are 100% rolling their eyes at this pasta. They love a Bolognese sauce, but a Bolognese sauce minus the meat. Man, the look on their faces. So much disappointment… They don’t know what they’re missing out on. Every last twirl of this vegetarian pasta Bolognese is delicious....

I make sama rice in an instant pot, however you can use pressure cooker for this recipe. During nine days of Navratri, fasting meals can get pretty repetitive. I try to something different and make sure that we are not eating the same things everyday. During hindu fasting, alternative grains and seeds are popularly consumed and sama ke chawal is a great swap for basmati rice. I call it sama khichdi often becaue of its runny consistency....

I am always happy to eat asparagus, some of my favorite ways to enjoy it include grilled asparagus foil packets and chicken asparagus stir fry. This sauteed asparagus is a simple yet satisfying way to get your veggies in with minimal effort! We eat a fair amount of broccoli in this house, but when I’m looking to switch things up a bit in the green veggie department, I turn to asparagus....

Every spring, like clockwork, and usually around Easter, I always want to make recipes my Nonnie might have made. As a kid, my family would spend Easter with my grandparents at their home in south Florida. They moved around a bit, but I spent most of my time in Jupiter, which is one of my favorite places. I’m always missing my grandma, but especially around holidays like Easter when we’d usually spend time with them....

I’m heading to Miami this weekend. And I have to say, I’m looking forward to the topical weather more than I anticipated. I think my body just needs it. Anytime I have plans to head somewhere tropical, I always dream up tropical recipes, especially tropical tacos. So we’re making shrimp tacos! What I love about these is how easy they are. I made them all on a sheet pan, so they’re quick and completely no-fuss....

Can someone please tell me how the heck to pronounce that. Because honestly, I can’t even read Chilaquiles. I try to sound it out and man, it just does not work. Like at all. I sound like a total idiot and or someone who just got out of surgery and is all jacked up on pain meds. And trust me, I know what someone on a whole lot of pain meds sounds like....

I’ve said this so many times now, but my best recipes tend to be the ones that I think up on the day of making. They’re the ones that are never planned or thought out. They’re usually inspired by what’s in my fridge, what’s surrounding me outside, or family and friends. This cheesecake wasn’t supposed to be today’s recipe. But when one recipe idea falls flat, I gotta pivot and try something new....

Hands down, this is my favorite recipe of the week, and maybe even the month. It’s totally my kind of food. Hello to carbs, summer tomatoes, herbs, more carbs, and burrata cheese. You see? All my favorites in one very summery dish. Very classic HBH, right? YES. YES. YES. This is a recipe I created a couple of weeks ago. Actually, it was the day before leaving for vacation. I really wanted to use the ingredients I had on hand in order to waste the least amount of food possible....

Some recipes are just a touch more special than others, and I think this is one of those recipes. I knew the minute I had the idea that this gnocchi recipe had the potential to be a new family favorite, and I was not wrong! I served this over the weekend, making two large skillets of chicken gnocchi. My family ate every last piece of chicken and scooped up every drip of creamy wine sauce....
