Italian Meatball Soup

My family happens to love meatballs, especially the kids. I make sure to put meatballs on our dinner menu on a regular basis. I often do meatball bake or Greek meatballs with rice, but sometimes I like to mix things up a bit and serve this hearty meatball soup recipe. Soup is always a great option when it’s cold outside, and I find myself making this meatball soup constantly during the winter months....

Italian Spinach And Crepe Manicotti

Yes, I made Italian. And yes, I used crepes as my pasta of choice. And yes, it is pretty amazing! Isn’t this a pretty one? I was reading Bev Cooks. which I follow. Religiously. Guys if you don’t follow Bev, well you are missing out! This girl is good! Her food. Her writing. Her Pictures. They’re drool worthy. Anyway, the other day she was saying that there is this Italian restaurant in her neck of the woods that serves Crepe Manicotti....

Jalape O Cheddar Stuffed Chicken With Creamed Corn

I’m often asked how I find new recipe inspiration all the time. My answer is always the same, I find inspiration everywhere. Whether it’s in fashion, interiors, lifestyle, or the food space. My inspiration sources are endless. But I will say that my family is often my greatest source of inspiration. They’re always providing me with new ideas, even if they don’t know it. My mom has been going on about the jalapeño cheddar bagel sandwich she ate for lunch while we were in Alaska....

Jerk Chicken Marinade

When I’m looking to add tons of flavor to meat, poultry and seafood, I turn to marinades including skirt steak marinade, pork chop marinade, shrimp marinade and jerk chicken marinade. I also love that these soaking sauces come together in just minutes! If you love Jamaican flavors as much as I do, you should also make some jerk seasoning to have on hand in your kitchen. I happen to love the sweet and spicy flavor of jerk chicken, and it couldn’t be easier to make at home....

Kai Murukku Suthu Murukku

Every year I take up one food challenge during Deepavali where I drive myself crazy and keep trying at that recipe until I feel satisfied with the results. Two years back I tried Motichoor Ladoo and last year I tried Khova Gulab Jamun. This year I had my eyes set on Kai Murukku. The last two-year projects seem like child’s play compared to what I had signed up for this year....

Lemon Chai Cake

This post is sponsored by Land O’Lakes. I think by now we all know that when it comes to baking sweets, around here, we often prefer something chocolate. But, there are times throughout the winter where baking something bright and citrusy is all I want. With Meyer lemons fresh in season, they make for the perfect cake, muffin, and so much more. Since I don’t experiment much with citrus sweets, it’s always extra fun when I do....

Lemon Feta Paprika Chicken Skewers With Charred Corn

As we enter into August – which is just so crazy – now more than ever I’m on the hunt for simple summer dinners.

That way these lemon mint popsicles are the best fit, very refreshing and quite delicious too!...

Lightened Up Chocolate Peanut Butter Upside Down Banana Cake

And between the peanut butter in my hair (this took forever to get out), spilled milk in the fridge and ah hello, the snow (yes, it is still snowing. Sun, please come back and warm my bones!) it was the highlight of my day. Oh, and please do not tell me you are sick of bananas or peanut butter. Cause I know it seems like half the things I post contain at least one of these two ingredients....

Mango Sorbet

Yay! Yay! Yay! It’s Friday and time for my next mango recipe 🙂 At the start of the summer, I resolved myself to making a lot of frozen treats. After all, summer this year was way too hot, even for us Bengalureans. And then the summer came and went, only that I didn’t actually get to try a whole lot of stuff. There was this one time I made extra creamy vanilla chocochip ice cream and that pretty much was it....

Marry Me Chicken In Pumpkin Cream Sauce

Now that it’s October, I’m happy to start sharing out my pumpkin recipes for the season. I know many of you have been baking with pumpkin since August, but over here, we’re just getting started! What I find with every season is that pumpkin is so heavily used in baking recipes but always overlooked in the savory recipe department. Very few think to cook with pumpkin! I actually love to cook with pumpkin more than I like to bake with it....
