These are without a doubt one of my favorite recipes. Oh my gosh. SO GOOD. But then, what’s not to love? Oven-baked sweet potato tater tots with herbs, garlic, and butter. Plus crispy Panko bread crumbs, and oh my gosh…parmesan too! The best ingredients all together in a cute little tater tot. Funny enough, this is a very old recipe. Yes, it’s actually a recipe from the first year of HBH that I majorly adjusted and reworked....

Like, whoa! How is January already over?? Complete craziness, but I have to say it was a great month. Super busy, and super cold, but filled with yummy (HEALTHY) eats! I know this may seem odd, but I feel a little more refreshed and inspired to keep chugging along now than I did a month ago. After Christmas, I think I was just BEAT, but something about this last month and all the colorful veggies…and dark chocolate, has me feeling kind of excited and energized....

You know, the ones stuffed with cheddar cheese, yeah well I kind of took that idea and stuffed my burgers with brie, slathered them with a sweet chili mayo and then topped them with corn salsa. I mean, I know, a lot to say in one sentence, but still completely awesome. Since we are less than a week out from the 4th of July I figured now would be the perfect time to share with you these brie stuffed burgers that I created for Inspired Home....

Honest truth? I had a very different recipe planned for today that looked nothing like this summery bowl of orzo pasta. Some weeks I’ll have not one recipe that fails. Other weeks I’ll have recipe after recipe that’s either challenging or just not working out the way I had envisioned. This week has been a mix. After multiple rounds of recipe testing, I decided I was done with the recipe I had planned for today....

It’s mid-October, and in my book, the more creamy pasta and pumpkin recipes the better. I’m trying my best to keep a balance.

It’s the perfect dinner to cook up when you’re in need of something simple, but totally delicious and comforting too....

Why? Because really all we’re doing is grilling peaches, adding butter, adding ice cream, and topping with homemade breadcrumbs. I can say with complete confidence that every juicy, buttery, and cinnamony bite is SO GOOD....

This asparagus stir fry is the best possible way to showcase this spring time veggie! Serve it over steamed rice for a complete meal. It’s the time of the year where asparagus is inexpensive and prolific. We eat asparagus at least once a week in the spring, even my kids will readily devour it.

This casserole is honestly this simplest dish ever. It’s one of those recipes you crave on nights when you need something hearty, but want something healthy too.

My love for Chilli Parotta goes way back and it is filled with nostalgia. Growing up, we hardly had any restaurants around and when a big one opened in the locality, my dad took us there. Having hardly been to restaurants before, one thing from the menu caught our attention – Chilli Parotta. It was love at first bite and ever since, I have been a big fan. We never really tried making at home because it was always one dish that we associated with eating out 🙂 You can go to any hotel/restaurant in Tamilnadu and this is Indo-Chinese twist of Chilli Barotta is sure to be found....

Can we just talk about real life here for second? Nothing sugar-coated, just truly what’s going on in my head. When I started this blog I always said I would never be a real “photographer”.

But then the coconut rum showed up……..at 10:30 am. (Yeah, people around here are having a good time. All I keep hearing is “I am on vacation……dont judge”) And something in my head just said, put this in a cupcake. Now!

I’m feeling like I’ve shared a lot of sweet summer recipes recently, so switching up our regularly-scheduled Tuesday content, for summer salad content. I have some simple throw it all in dinner recipes, some easy sweet treats, and even some get-creative cocktail recipes.
