Following the first sweet recipe of Karachi Halwa, here is a simple yet extremely addictive Deepavali savory recipe – Butter Murukku. I have already posted different murukku recipes here and this is special because it is very simple. Unlike the usual murukku or chakli recipe, butter murukku is bite-sized and broken. So even someone who is new to cooking can also make this snack with ease. As butter is used in making the dough for this recipe, it is literally melt in mouth and soft, while being crunchy....

I have been sitting at my desk now for a good twenty minutes, just kind of staring at my screen, wracking my brain for just how to start this Cajun Garlic Lemon Butter Shrimp post. I’ve said this before, but the first line of every single post is typically the hardest for me to write. I just need a starting point and from there I can usually keep going. WATCH THE HOW-TO VIDEO:...

Can I rant/complain for like .89 seconds? Ok, well it may take longer than that, but you know. My family keeps sending me snapchats of all the things I am missing out on. Think laying in the sun by the pool, diving boards, BOUNCE houses (what the, what…no fare!), tubing on the lake, ice cream cakes, happy birthday songs, bike rides and basically all things summer… What am I doing?...

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was rather uneventful, but still great. The major excitement of the weekend was the giant hawk…and I do mean GIANT…that flew into my widow. For the next 10 minutes he proceeded to stare me down, all while flapping his huge wings…right outside my window! Hands down, this was one of the creepiest things to happen to me in a while. Especially since it was quickly becoming nighttime outside…and especially because it’s October....

You know, the chewy ones with the mini chocolate chips. They kind of felt like a sweet treat, but they were a marketed as a healthy granola bar. So mom packed them in lunches and yummm, I always loved them! She also packed things like fruit snacks, baby carrots, cream cheese bagels, turkey sandwiches, occasionally a KUDOS bars (do any of you remember them, I guess they are actually still around), plus the other usual lunch items, like water and fruit....

Hot dips are always a crowd pleaser, we love pizza dip, buffalo chicken dip, and this super delicious chicken Alfredo dip. Serve it with a variety of dippers and watch it disappear! Chicken Alfredo pasta is one of those time honored recipes because it’s just super delicious! There’s something so satisfying about the combination of chicken and pasta in a rich and cheesy sauce. This chicken Alfredo dip is the appetizer version of this classic dish....

This chicken manchow soup recipe is quite versatile and you could personalize it according to your preferences. Omit the chicken and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock to make a delightful vegetable manchow soup. Or, for a kid-friendly variation, exclude the green chilies to create a milder version. Mention indo chinese food and I get excited! It is one of our favorite cuisine and the fusion of indian and chinese flavors make it lip smacking good!...

I know we’ve chatted about some seriously good recipes this week, but let’s be honest, we all know the best game day eats are the snacky ones…or at least I like to call them snacks…snacks are just way more fun <– says the kid in me! ?. Especially the ones that are cute and mini and easily eaten in a bite or two. And these chicken parmesan meatball crostini bites are exactly that....

My family loves soup, and I love that it’s an easy, one pot dinner. Some of our favorite soup recipes include crock pot chicken noodle soup, tortellini soup, and this chicken stew loaded with plenty of veggies. You can never go wrong with a bowl of stew, it’s an easy to make comfort food classic that is sure to impress your family and friends. This chicken stew is a lighter version of the traditional beef variety, but it’s equally as delicious and cooks in less than half the time!...

Ingredients Pure maple syrup Cinnamon stick Cardamom pods Bourbon Lemon juice Orange juice Maple cardamon syrup Bitters Ginger beer Orange zest and sugared cranberries The very last Christmas cocktail of 2021! I’ll probably post one more drink for New Years, but today’s the last Christmas drink. This old fashioned is made for my brother, Brendan. It really is a combo of all of his favorite flavors – and bourbon is his preferred alcohol of choice....

*Just a note that I have so many photos in this post, if you just want the recipe scroll to the bottom. Thanks! You’d see one big giant smile on my face with my eyes all lit up with pure excitement, and I promise, it’s not even because it is Friday. Although, that is of course an added bonus. What I am really smiling about are these crepes. That’s obvious though, right?...

I mean, they obviously can describe them, but they will never be able to do them justice. This is without a doubt one of my favorite breakfast posts on this blog. So, did you guys ever have those frozen french toast sticks when you were a kid? I did and while they weren’t my favorite breakfast food, I still liked them. Especially dipped in some syrup. I gave up eating those frozen french toast sticks a long time ago because I realized there was nothing good about them, at least ingredient-wise, BUT ever since then I have wanted to make my own....

Well, I said it yesterday, but it’s October, so bring on all those pumpkin recipes. And today, we’ve got something sweet! Before I began cooking and baking, I wasn’t someone who looked forward to pumpkin anything. I grew up in a household where dessert wasn’t dessert if chocolate wasn’t involved. And in a way, I still kind of think like that. But these days I’m able to embrace non-chocolate sweets as well....

When it snows all week in December it’s hard not to crave the most comforting foods. For me, that means roasted vegetables, chicken and rice, slow-simmered short ribs, and soup. Lots of soup. My favorite is probably a good broccoli cheddar, but chicken gnocchi soup is high on my list. I made my very first gnocchi soup recipe two years ago around this time. I’ve made it multiple times since, we love the recipe!...

Happy St. Patrick’s day everyone!! How are you guys celebrating? I didn’t roll out any new Irish-inspired recipes this year (sorry). But I sure hope you guys are celebrating in some way today. My brother Creighton would be SO excited if you ate a corned beef sandwich for him. I’m 120% positive he’d just about die and go to heaven if I made him one. Sadly for him, it’s just not in the cards today....

From last Tuesday? The 5 ingredient Beer Bread? You might not since that happened to be one of the days (yes DAYS) my site was having major issues, but thank God those issue have been resolved – I hope! How cute and awesome is that pumpkin beer bottle? I am kind of obsessed with it. I have used it in WAY too many photos, but I just cannot get enough of it....

Dry Fruit Lassi is a deliciously rich summer cool drink recipe made with homemade thick curd or plain yogurt and a mixture of dry fruits. Lassi is quite popular across India and there are many variations to the basic recipe made with curd. Lassi can be made two ways – sweet lassi and salt lassi. In both the versions of the lassi recipe, thick malai dahi or creamy curd is whisked and beaten until it is frothy....

When the springs holidays roll around, my family always requests a formal meal with a big Easter ham and plenty of side dishes such as sweet and savory pineapple casserole, slow cooker cranberry sauce and oven roasted potatoes. Don’t forget the mini egg cookies for dessert! You can never go wrong with an impressive ham to celebrate the holidays! This classic Easter ham is smothered in a simple ham glaze that takes just minutes to make, but tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant....
