Can I say it was a dream of mine to make Guacamole at home?! Don’t get me wrong. This is one of THE easiest recipe that can be put together so easily. So why all the hype you ask? The hype is not about the recipe but finding avocados in my part of the world. During the one occasion I found a couple of avocados, there were super raw – bright green in color....

I may live in Colorado, but I will always be an Ohio girl. I am pretty sure I could never live there again (nope, positive), but it’s where I spent a big chunk of my life and where all of my extended family still lives. So, it will always be apart of me… and I like that. Plus, it’s where I learned all about buckeyes! I don’t know what about Ohio made me think of this random thought, maybe all the farms… and green, but someday I hope to live on a farm....

Summer pizza day – our first of the season! I think this time of year is my favorite for pizza making. Pizzas are so quick and easy and I love the opportunity to use fresh summer produce and herbs. The topping ideas I have brewing in my head are endless. Also, nothing beats a roasted tomato pizza with fresh burrata cheese. I know it’s a tried and true classic, but we love to make it over and over all summer long....

It’s not even October yet and I’m already breaking out some of the coziest fall recipes. I’d say sorry, but then I feel like we’re all ready for some slow-roasted chicken dinners that scream fall. We are, aren’t we? At least that’s my hope, because, as I’ve now said, I’m in full-on fall mode. I apologize for talking about my love of fall so much…I’m sure it’s getting old. So I’ll spare you that today and instead jump right into talking about this simple, but oh so delicious chicken dinner, complete with a side of creamy butter mashed cauliflower....

I am SOO exited to tell you about today’s post! I mean, I know that you may be thinking this is just another instant oats recipe, but these oats will be your answer to serving a healthy, delicious breakfast on crazy busy mornings!! OK, and I have a fun little giveaway for you at the end of the post too! Yep, it’s a lively Sunday around here! But first, I feel like I should ask how everyone’s weekend is going....

But I’m going to tell you to turn your oven on anyway (clearly I am not one of those people with the hot temperatures). I know, why oh why am I so mean? I feel like my siblings ask themselves this question daily. I promise that I have only your best interest at heart. I mean, are you looking at what I am looking at? Cheese, eggplant, Italian sauce and pasta?...

This burger is what all burgers should be, over the top awesomeness. I know that is saying A LOT, but this burger is extra special. Just ask my mom, I think it was her favorite meal. Like maybe ever? She’s kind of a red meat loving freak though. I fully realize that this burger is a tad high maintenance. I mean, the awesome thing about burgers is that they are typically pretty quick and painless....

The next recipe in my Deepavali Sweets and Snacks series is a sweet recipe – Kalakand. If you haven’t noticed, I am alternating my posts from sweets and snacks every day. As ribbon pakoda got featured yesterday, it had to be a sweet today. What I have for today is a very easy recipe – in fact it is so easy that has only two main ingredients. So this is a shortcut recipe, not the traditional one that’s made from full cream milk and sugar, stirring continuously after hours to thicken, like this Paalkova....

Summer is getting hot by the day in most parts of India. Until a couple of days back, standing in the kitchen was quite a task, let alone cooking elaborate meals. Salads and soups were our go-to options. Thankfully, it has been raining here in Bangalore during the evenings for the last two days, bringing in chills in the wind making the climate quite pleasant! Yay 😀 For our dinners, I had been making some quick salads – beats the heat and saves a lot of time too....

Guys, say hello to a family favorite recipe, lightened up salsa verde chicken stuffed poblano peppers. Yes, a family favorite, meaning everyone in the fam, including my picky brothers, love these stuffed peppers. In fact, my brother Malachi was actually the one who suggested that I make them a few weeks back. When he text me asking if I could make him chicken stuffed poblano peppers, my eyes widened with shock....

Manga Pachadi or Mambazha Pachadi is a delicious Mango preserve that goes really well as a side dish for roti or an accompaniment for Sambar rice, Curd Rice or any rice. So my next Mango recipe in my Mango series is courtesy, my mother-in-law. She makes her trademark Manga Pachadi every summer without fail and we all love it so much that we eat it straight off the pan 😀...

My homestyle methi dal is made without onions and and is minimally spiced. Dal is staple food for indians. Not only there are tons of dal recipes across India, but there are many variations of this comfort food in indian households. In south india, andhra style methi kura pappu is a popular lentil recipe made using arhar (toor) lentils and fenugreek leaves, however the spices are quite different than north indian methi dal....

Methi Thepla is an Indian flat bread made with whole wheat flour, gram flour, fresh fenugreek leaves and basic spice powders. Methi or fresh fenugreek leaves are slightly bitter but when combined with whole grain flours and spices, it works out perfectly. Not only are the theplas highly flavorful and delicious, they stay great for over a couple of days. With the addition of curd/plain yogurt and methi leaves, theplas also turn out very soft....

When it’s summer time, I find myself making a ton of refreshing fruit salads, including berry fruit salad and this unique Mexican fruit salad. Yes, I’m a little obsessed with Mexican style fruit this summer. This Mexican fruit salad is a fun and refreshing take on fruit salad for those days when you’re looking for something a little different and unexpected. Serving it in a pineapple is optional, but it just adds to the fun and turns it into a dish that’s perfect for a potluck or BBQ!...

I’m all about grilling when the weather is warm, I often make shrimp kabobs, steak skewers and this amazing fish kabob recipe. I have been entertaining a lot this summer, and fun finger foods have been the theme when it comes to cooking for my guests! I’ve been doing a lot of skewered food, because it’s always more fun to eat snacks off a stick. I recently made these mojo fish kebabs and they were a huge hit – grilled fish, pineapple and red peppers, all seasoned with a zesty mojo sauce....

I know, I know, yeah sure they are. But you guys…you may never go back to your traditional ways of making pancakes again! Moroccan’s are so smart when it comes to their technique. Trust me, they have it all figured out. Let me explain. From just looking at these pancakes, you wouldn’t really see anything too different, but after the first bite…you’ll get it. Moroccan pancakes are the best! You see, instead of flipping the pancakes, as we traditionally do here in the U....

Oats Paniyaram is a quick and delicious recipe made with instant oats and sauteed mixed vegetables. Kara Paniyaram or Kuzhi paniyaram is a traditional recipe made with fermented rice & urad dal batter which is very similar to idli batter. It is also possible to make paniyaram with leftover idli batter. But what do you do when there is no batter at all?! With this simple recipe of using instant quick oats, it is very easy to make paniyaram – also known as appe/paddu/punganalu without having to grind the batter or ferment it....
