I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Christmas Ale, but if you live in Cleveland Ohio…aka “The Land”, then you know it’s a Christmas tradition. Everyone has to drink some Christmas Ale at least once during the holiday a season, it’s just a must. I’ve had this drink in my back pocket for months now and I am so excited to finally share it…like so excited....

Mashed potatoes are the ultimate side dish recipe, whether they’re cooked as a loaded mashed potato casserole, as crock pot mashed potatoes or with cabbage in this traditional Irish dish. Have you ever tried colcannon? If not, you’re missing out. This recipe is delectable blend of cabbage, potatoes and bacon, all mashed together for a creamy and satisfying dish. It’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any other time of the year!...

Monday felt like it needed a fun dinner, so taco night it is. But guys, these are not your average tacos. Nope, they’re better, they’re what I’m calling “loaded” carne asada street tacos. They might not be one hundred percent traditional, but they’re fun and delicious. Perfect for a Monday night…well perfect for any night. But these tacos are sure to livin’ up an average Monday, you know? With Cinco de Mayo just a week away I wanted to be sure to share a few new Mexican recipes for you all to easily recreate at home....

I’ve entered my “cozy” mode and it’s in full force this season. Our weather has been beautifully sunny this week, but cold at night. It’s been so chilly that everything in the greenhouse froze over the weekend. This has me craving cozier fall food. And with the beginning of October this Sunday, I imagine I’m not the only one! You seem to really enjoy my simple, all-in-one crockpot dinners, so I’ve been brainstorming what new flavors and variations to share with you all....

Chicken curries are a weekly affair in our home. I have a few weeknight favorites such as palak chicken, chicken keema curry, coconut chicken curry and methi chicken that I pick and choose from depending on what we are craving. On weeknights, I like to keep things quick and hence this dhaba chicken curry is my go to recipe on most days because of how uncomplicated it is. May I also suggest, another fuss-free favorite?...

Dill Dip Ingredients To make this dill dip recipe you will need sour cream, mayonnaise, dried dill, dried parsley, seasoned salt and dried minced onion. You may want fresh dill to garnish the dip....

If there’s one thing that absolutely has to be on every holiday table, it’s got to be rolls. Or at least that’s the case in my house (ok a few of the brothers would definitely say turkey over rolls). However, not one family member, not even the pickiest, would ever decline a roll. In fact, the rolls are probably the very first item to completely disappear. Everyone loves them. Over the years, I’ve made a few different varieties of dinner rolls....

South Indian breakfast recipes are always served hot and growing up in a typical Telugu household in Tamilnadu, I can’t relate much to sweet breakfasts. Breakfast for me is hot, mildly spicy and flavorful. As many of you already know, I love my idli and dosa way too much to give up. Fluffy idlis and crispy dosas, a couple of chutneys or sambar rule my world and I cant change my ways after all these years....

Eggs. For few years I had the perfect love hate relationship with eggs. Being born into a vegetarian family, eggs were introduced to us kids very late. Mainly for health benefits. Indeed we took it as a medicine, nothing more. In fact I remember those days years ago, when my mom would cut a boiled egg into 4 equal pieces, sit next to us with a jug of water. Yes, we literally chewed & swallowed each piece of egg with a glass of water....

Next up on my bread baking experiment is this insanely delicious and beautiful Eggless Cheesy Brioche Flower Bread. Ever since I saw it on a TV show, it had been on my mind but my bad I had not caught up on the entire recipe back then. All I knew was the dough looked like pizza dough. All was forgotten soon but recently I got a chance to watch the same show again 😀 I realized that the bread was Brioche, one of the richest and delicious yeast breads....

Can you see that I am trying to squeeze in one more mango recipe before the season ends in a few days? So, making an eggless mango cake has been on my mind for quite a while now and I finally got to try it this week. This golden beauty of a mango loaf cake uses neither butter nor eggs, like most of my cakes on this blog. It is laced with the flavor of cardamom and a delicate taste of mangoes....

Eggless Rum Fruit Cake is a Christmas special recipe, that I have been making over the last few years. I have already shared Eggless Fruit Cake, Eggless Plum Cake, and Christmas Pudding recipes previously. Earlier, my Christmas special cake recipes usually required no prior soaking and I had been making them without using any alcohol. But we have been making our own tradition of rum soaked fruits and nuts a month before Christmas, for the past three years....

Remember how I said rice was a staple in our house? Yeah, well so is pasta. Pasta with butter. Preferably homemade using my favorite pasta dough recipe. And remember how I said I was hoarding butternut squash? Well I decided to use it up! And this is the BEST way possible. Really, the best way possible. This has got to be the best Ravioli! Honesty it is so good, better than you would get from the freezer aisle and better than you would get from a restaurant....

Are you ready to enter a new season? With Labor Day now behind us, I’m so excited to slowly begin to embrace the autumn season. I know it’s still summer for two more weeks, and I’m not breaking out the pumpkin just yet. But with the temps dropping, and our leaves turning, fall is creeping in! For me, September is apple season, I save the pumpkin for October and November....

Can you believe today is the last “spooky” cocktail Saturday of the year? I can’t believe Halloween is this Tuesday and October is almost gone. It’s so sad and yet so exciting. So much to look forward to in the coming months! I’m hoping you guys all have some fun Halloween plans this weekend. If you happen to be hosting a Halloween party, be sure to check out my Bewitching Halloween Dinner that I put together with Crate and Barrel....

Are you ready for a little ranting? Cause it’s about to all come running out of me. YIKES. I am not really sure I should be sharing this info with you or not, but I’m feeling the pain that is the “crunch time” of writing your first ever cookbook. I mean, someone please come and bring me all the chocolate in the world, and maybe like a super stiff drink (wait I don’t drink), or something....

This is THE BEST turkey I have ever had, it’s packed with flavor and so easy to make that even a beginner cook can put together an impressive meal! Serve your turkey with Thanksgiving stuffing and slow cooker cranberry sauce for a memorable meal. I know exactly what you’re thinking. Why is she sharing an herb roasted turkey recipe two weeks after Thanksgiving is over? I’m sharing this recipe now because I made it for Thanksgiving, and it’s just too delicious to wait a whole year to share on this site....

{This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill} Making a childhood favorite today, homemade blueberry Nutri Grain bars. As a kid, I loved Nutri Grain bars. I wasn’t really into sugary candies, potato chips, or other “kid” food, but I loved Nutri Grain bars. They were filled with fruity goodness and unlike like other snack bars, they were soft and had that fresh outta of the oven feel to them....
