Sometimes I try to understand. Really I do, but most of the time my mind just wonders to “Oh, should I make shrimp and put it with noodles or bake cookies and stuff them with something crazy? Or wait, maybe I should make some grilled chicken and smother it in salsa and then maybe I should make some more of that homemade ice cream” See! It is so hard to understand anything when all my brain thinks about is food....

I might have said this last summer too. But I feel like I am really embracing ice cream this summer…and using berries in desserts too! In the last month or so, I feel like I’ve made a new ice cream recipe every other day. And I still have more coming (the next two are chocolatey and both are unreal). It’s funny because ice cream isn’t the easiest to work with since it melts so fast....

After all the chocolate we’ve consumed this week, I thought a nice carrot recipe would be just right for today. Spring is on the horizon, Easter is coming up, and it’s about that time of year anyway! I haven’t always loved carrot cake, but I made the most delicious carrot cake muffins last spring, and now I can’t get enough. Today’s bread, however, might even be better. It’s the ginger CRUNCH....

I often make my favorite Thai restaurant dishes at home such as Thai cucumber salad, peanut noodles, and this simple yet satisfying chicken fried rice. I happen to love Thai food, especially Thai fried rice. It’s got such a unique flavor and can contain so many great ingredients from shrimp to pineapple and everything in between. My version is loaded with crispy bites of chicken, carrots, scrambled eggs and fresh herbs....

I love great beef recipes, whether it’s succulent filet mignon with garlic butter, zesty Texas chili, Instant Pot corned beef, crockpot meatloaf, a quick and easy pepper steak stir fry, or this simple, yet totally satisfying London broil. When I need steak for a crowd, I turn to London broil. It’s a large cut of meat that serves plenty of people, and my homemade marinade gives it great flavor. Pair your meat with some fabulous side dishes, then watch the rave reviews roll in!...

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that can often be overlooked. I love creating simple dinner menus for you guys so that everyone is encouraged to celebrate. My grandma always made an effort to make Valentine’s Day fun and I’ve tried to follow in her footsteps. Today I’m excited to share a very simple, yet oh so delicious, Valentine’s Day menu. I partnered with our ever so popular local brewery, Breckenridge Brewery....

I am always in the lookout for some easy lunch options, especially given it is a Sunday. For me, Sunday lunch is synonymous to easy one pot meals. Few months back, I started my Sunday Biryani series to record every single biryani I was making in my kitchen. While I still adore my Biryanis, there are some days I wish there was something simple to prepare. That’s when Pulao or mildly fragrant rice recipes come to my rescue 🙂...

I never thought I would be so excited to share a Rice Krispie Treat recipe. Honestly, I didn’t think the world needed another Rice Krispie Treat recipe beyond what comes on the back of the Rice Krispie cereal box. My mom would use the recipe on the back of the box. Well, actually, she’d add an extra stick of butter because that’s just how my mom makes her krispie treats....

Hey, hi! Happy Monday!! Starting things off very bright and colorful today with this spring roll bowl. Just looking at these photos gives me energy, so I figured it was the perfect Monday recipe. Plus, I do think it’s always a good idea to start the Monday after St.Patrick’s Day weekend off with something a little more on the healthy side. I mean, am I right or what? Speaking of St....

Finish it off with sweet yellow corn and spicy-sweet candied jalapeños. If you love a cheesy pizza, this is about to become a new summer dinner staple. Serve this cheesy pizza right out of the oven for a truly simple dinner that everyone will love. When I set out to make this recipe, I knew exactly what I wanted to do....

This week’s bread recipe is special for two reasons – Whole Wheat Pita bread has to be one of the easiest yeast based leavened flat bread recipes and it literally takes 3 minutes to make it in a hot oven. When I had made Pita Pocket Sandwiches with Chickpea Salad, I had used store bought Pita bread. I didn’t know that making Pita Bread at home was simple. Recently I was squeezing my brains to make some simple dinner, I happened to look at this recipe and loved how simple it was....

I told you guys I was getting into the Halloween season this year and I wasn’t messing around. This drink is all things spooky, fun, and deliciously perfect for the autumn season too. Today marks the kick off of many Cocktail Saturdays to come. From now through Christmas we’ll have a new cocktail every Saturday…which is a lot of new drinks! I’m so excited, you guys know how much I love these cocktail posts....

Peanut butter is one of those ingredients that can be used from dinners to desserts. It’s so versatile and it definitely never disappoints.

If you’re looking for ways to get a little extra nutrition into your diet, there’s sure to be a sweet or savory healthy snack on this list to help keep the hunger away! I love a good snack and so do my children. I like to serve snacks that are are filled with colorful fruits, fresh veggies and lean proteins. The secret for a great guilt-free snack is to find recipes that are so packed with flavor that you won’t miss those extra calories....

I almost forget to share this post for this month! With so many recipes currently being created and my general excitement for November recipes, this post completely slipped my mind. I was so close to skipping it this month, but I’m really happy I didn’t. You all, there are so many good recipes here! I guess 12 years of creating November recipes really has paid off. I love so many of these....

Making snacks and fries in Air Fryer has become my latest obsession. In recent trials, I made Cabbage Pakoda in Air Fryer the healthy way with less than a teaspoon of oil. These healthy cabbage fritters can be served as a quick snack or even as a side dish for hot rice. I know that cabbage gets a lot of unnecessary hate, due to its strong smell and bland taste but in making these cabbage pakoras, you can easily mask the taste/smell of the vegetable and make the most delicious fritters....

I know I can’t seem to stop talking about fall, but I just can’t help myself. It’s kind of hard to not be in love with this season. The trees here in CO are at their peak. It’s beyond gorgeous here, and just looking out my window make me happy! I am going to be one sad girl in a few weeks when those pretty orange and yellow leaves begin to fall....

And since I would probably never drink hot buttered rum, I add the flavors to my sweets. It’s just the way I do booze. Which in my opinion is the best. But you guys, can we talk about real life for a second? I mean, we always talk about real life, but I mean, REAL life. Like adulthood life. Like realizing you really are no longer a kid. Yeah, that kind of real life....

I could go on and on about my love for vegetarian indian dishes and this arbi sabji is my summer favorite with rotis or as a side to lentils (dal - chawal. Mom used to make arbi and arbi patta(leaf) many ways and this delicious arbi bhujia used to be on the menu at least once every week. It is hard to believe how such simple indian dishes can elevate meals....

I’m all about the easy breakfasts, some of my favorites include egg muffins, chia pudding and this flavorful baked oatmeal. This is one of my go-to recipes for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast. When I’m looking for a breakfast option to feed the masses, I often turn to baked oatmeal. It’s easy to make and serve, you can customize the flavors in so many different ways, and it’s totally delicious!...
