As I mentioned on Monday, I really wanted to share a few recipes for the grill this week in preparation for Memorial Day weekend and all the warm summer days that will follow. I might be jumping ahead just smidge with these summery recipes, but I just cannot help it. I am so excited to see things finally getting green around here, it’s really starting to look somewhat like summer too....

Taking it back to my childhood days with these pizza rolls today. Growing up, my brothers used to eat frozen pizza rolls all the time. And honestly, they still do on occasion. On the other hand, I was that very odd child that didn’t care for the frozen pizza and or junk food (although I did love a good Oreo cookie and Reese’s peanut butter cup…still do). I ate carrots with ranch and actually ate my broccoli as a kid too....

My family happens to love Mexican food, and I prepare it at least once a week. I like to make my own sauces and seasonings to go along with it such as pico de gallo, taco seasoning and this super easy enchilada sauce. Enchiladas are a favorite in my house, and for good reason! Who doesn’t love tortillas and cheese drenched in flavorful sauce? This homemade enchilada sauce takes this classic dish to the next level and really turns it into something special....

Another boozy dessert. What? It’s been a whole month since I did those Oatmeal Cookie Banana Crisp with Chocolate Kahlua Sauce. I have discovered the awesomeness of hazelnut liquor. And I am not talking about adding it to drinks. Drinks are not my thing, but desserts?? Heck. Yes. Hazelnut liquor is just, wow. Is it weird that I feel like I could sit and sniff the bottle for hours and hours....

I’m going to be honest, I was not sure about this burrito. I mean, an Irish/Mexi fusion style burrito? Like is that just way too out there? Too much? Too over the top? Just too crazy? I really wasn’t sure…until I made them, and discovered that everyone loved them. Like LOVED them. SIDENOTE: yes, that shirt in the background of that photo up there does say destroy. I did not even realize it as I was taking the photos…probably because I was hyper focused on how the food looked....

And just like that, I’ve really begun to embrace the springtime recipes. We’ve been in quarantine “lockdown” mode for so long now that I’m craving anything fresh and anything different. Yes, I love my pasta and all my cheesy comfort food recipes, but some nights need to be different. And let’s be real, it might not feel like spring here, but we’re in the last week of April. I sure hope it feels more like spring where you are, because, you guys, it’s definitely spring!...

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, it is freezing and or snowy in most places and all Sundays should include comfort food. Including foods that are pantry staples… just in case you are snowed in……like me. No exaggeration. At this point, the snow is up to my thighs and my front steps no longer look like steps. They just look like a white hill. And yes, I totally tripped walking up them yesterday, but it was ok since there was so much snow there to break my fall that it felt like landing on a pillow....

You know it’s summer when the tomatoes are plentiful and the herbs are growing like crazy! It’s so exciting! This year, we’re only growing herbs and lots of my favorite summer flowers, dahlias. We had a harsh spring, so our garden is coming in very slowly. But it’s coming, and I’m so happy about it. Growing up in Ohio, my dad had the best herbs and produce in his garden....

Hey, hi all the way from the Caribbean. I’m here on holiday with my family (do you say vacation or holiday? Everyone we are here with says holiday and I’m kind of liking it). As I type this I’m sitting in eighty plus degree temperatures, surrounded by incredibly blue waters. Those tropical destinations I always say I’m dreaming of…I’m here. But as much as I would love to sit here and tell you all about our trip, I’m going to save that for Sunday’s post, and jump into this caprese salad....

Happy weekend you guys!! Spring is here and like clockwork, I’m back making popovers. I don’t know why it is, but for whatever reason, I always think to make popovers in the spring. Last year I made cinnamon sugar popovers and this year? A much, much more springy version with sweet spring strawberries! Honestly, I wasn’t even going to share these with you guys, but they ended up being soo good....

This covid-19 lockdown is turning us into our own crazy selves, I guess. Otherwise why would I crave for spicy hot Mirapakaya Bajji all of a sudden?! I resisted this craving for over two months but I couldn’t anymore. I ended up making some really delicious Andhra Style Mirapakaya Bajji over the weekend. As if on cue, it started raining that evening and what more could I ask for? Mirapakaya means Green Chilli in Telugu and Bajji is nothing but a fritter made with gram flour....

Krishna Jayanti or Janmastami is just around the corner (14th August) and I have a perfect recipe for that Vennai Thirudum Kannan – Mullu Murukku. Growing up I always remember celebrating Krishna Jayanti with my mom’s Jantikalu/Murukku and Thattai/Chekkalu. There always was Palkova and other assorted sweets but it is for these two that the sister and I waited breathlessly. Till date, I never buy Murukku from a store – it is either homemade or passed down from my amma or MIL....

Mushrooms rarely made an appearance at meal time during my childhood years so I don’t even remember how and when I started liking them. Button mushrooms were cooked with shelled, sweet tasting winter peas(matar) in a tomato base during winters. In no time we sat down to scoop the stir fry with fresh-off -the skillet triangle parathas. They were mellow, meaty and pleasantly chewy. The hints of spices were just perfect to balance the natural sweetness & adding the correct depth of flavor to offset their blandness....

Welcome to the final post of 2020. I know everyone is saying the same thing right now, it’s been a rough year and we’re all looking forward to 2021. And yes, I know this year has been hard for so many of you, but I’m really trying to look at the positives the year brought. It just feels weird to end the year with so much negativity, you know? So I’m starting 2021 with a positive mindset, excitement for the year ahead, and like every other year in HBH history, with a new batch of recipes focused more on health....

I have posted my share of rasam recipes on this blog ranging with a very simple tomato rasam to comforting lemon rasam to exotic betel leaves rasam to medicinal pepper jeera rasam and here is one more to add to the list – Mysore Rasam. Like some regional delicacies, this makes its way into every meal in traditional south Indian weddings. I have always wanted to make this at home and no matter how many rasam recipes one learns, there is always space for one more....

And just like that, the 4th of July is only days away. How, I don’t know, but the time is here to celebrate America. And I am ready! Ready for some time off, ready for time in the sun, and ready for a berry-filled cheesecake with a British twist. Leave it to me to put a British spin on a 4th of July dessert. But hey, it’s festive, easy, and so delicious, and that’s really what matters most....

And I am so happy your time to shine has come again. You know, even though I complain about it, I think it may be a good thing I live in such a cold place. As much as I hate the cold, I love cozy… and in my head you can’t really be cozy without cold. My point is, cold weather makes me think cozy thoughts… blankets, fires, soup, stew, pasta, cheese, hot cocoa… yadda, yadda, yadda....

Simple One Skillet Cheesy Green Chile Chicken, all made in one pan without any fuss! Cheese and pepper stuffed chicken seasoned with spices and cooked with salsa verde. This quick-to-prepare saucy cheesy chicken is a great weeknight staple that requires so little work and the outcome is delicious!! I’m typing this from the car on a drive from Dallas to Houston. Which doesn’t usually go well for me, as I’m the type to get car sick....
