I love to serve a green salad alongside my meals, such as arugula salad, apple kale salad, and this classic cucumber tomato salad. Whenever I go to my local Middle Eastern restaurant, I always have to order the fattoush salad. It’s a light and refreshing blend of lettuce and vegetables with pita chips instead of croutons. The lemon sumac dressing really takes this salad over the top and turns it into something special....

Hey, hi and happy (super simple) Thursday! I just have to say that I am loving these super simple Thursday recipes. I also have to say that I’m loving summer and all of its produce even more. Anyone else in the same boat? So here’s the deal. I always start my day with a good to-do list to help keep me on track. I know what emails need to be sent, what recipes need to be made and photographed, and what needs to happen on the HBH social channels....

Another Friday, another drink. Last week we had my favorite iced brown sugar latte. And this week, well, we’ve got something icy yet again, but boozy too. I usually reserve my cocktail posts for Saturday. But in the summer, when everyone is either off traveling or out having fun on the weekends, I figured Friday is probably best. This way we have plenty of time to hit the store before the Saturday morning crowds....

Welcoming in September with cake! As some of you know, Asher’s birthday was this week. And every year I always share a new dessert with her birthday in mind. This year it’s a classic chocolate cake, but updated in surprisingly delicious ways! I’ve been excited to share this cake all week. It’s such a special recipe that I know will become a go-to whenever I need a birthday cake!! We all love this....

It’s a Monday salad, but an exciting Monday salad because it’s certainly not just greens and vegetables…there’s so much more! I love this one. First of all, happy Monday guys. Hope everyone had a great weekend and is slowly slipping into the laid-back, chill, summertime mindset. It’s all about the easy-going life for the next three or so months, right? That’s kind of my thinking and I’m really embracing it when it comes to our weekly dinners....

Do you see what is happening here?? I am slowly but surely building up my Thanksgiving menu. Let’s see, so far we have had this Butter and Herb Roasted Turkey, Brown Sugar and Pineapple Roasted Acorn Squash, Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread, Butternut Squash and Wild Mushroom Stuffing, Lighter Sweet Potato Casserole with Toasted Marshmallow, Salted Bourbon Pecan Pumpkin Pie, Maple Cream Sweet Potato Soup, an Epic Holiday Hummus Board, the cutest Wild Rice Stuffed Mini Pumpkins and now this salad!...

If you guys haven’t already noticed, I kind of have a thing for Halloween. Something about Halloween just makes me feel like a kid again, and I love that! In real life I’m a little too focused, a little too serious, and sometimes I just need to like, relax and have fun. Halloween (and really holidays) always take me back to my younger self. Plus, who could not love a day devoted to dressing up and eating candy?...

I mean, right?? You guys, this is such a fun recipe. Homemade cookie cereal…doesn’t get much better than this....

If there’s one food I really don’t make enough of, it’s seafood. For years there have been only a small handful of people in my family that would eat fish. The rest passed on anything from the sea. So I’ve always cooked much more pasta and meat than anything else. But that’s slowly starting to change. Not everyone enjoys fish, and I don’t think that will ever change. But a few of my brothers (including Creighton) will eat salmon, tuna, and shrimp....

Serve this comforting coconut milk salmon curry over steamed basmati rice for a light and satisfying meal. Me and my kids are simply obsessed with fish & seafood curries. There is salmon on the dinner menu at least once every week. This punjabi style fish curry recipe cooked in an onion & tomato base tops the list when it comes to my favorite ways to cook weeknight fish dinner. However over the years I have fallen in love with coconut based curry sauces thanks to my kids....

Before we lose the goodness of the winter vegetables, here is one more delicious carrot based recipe – Instant Carrot Pickle, the mouthwatering Dilli Gajar Ka Achar. This recipe happened purely out of chance, I never planned for this. As I was grating carrots for making Carrot Halwa, I realized I had more than what I needed for the dessert. My initial plan was to have these carrots for my salad but they looked so fresh and gorgeous that I wanted to make something else....

What could be better than a bowl of chicken noodle soup on a cozy Monday night? Umm, one with the cheesiest piece of fontina toast ever. Yes, I’ve got that! I’m sure you guys have noticed, but I’m pretty excited about this whole fall season that’s happening right now. October is one of my most favorite months of the year and I am trying to soak up every minute of these crisp sunny days, even breaking free from work for a late afternoon walk with my mom on Friday!...

My girls and I are big fans of Indian-style fish & seafood dishes. I make them quite often at home. Though my 30-shrimp masala is a regular on our menu, ever since my older one developed a taste for spicier food, for past few months, I’ve been making kadai shrimp more frequently. Indian kadai dishes get their name simply from those cooked in a kadai (Indian wok). But don’t worry you can cook them in a pan, skillet or dutch oven works too....

And this is coming from someone who does everything she can not to fry. Oddly though, I have now fried three things this week. Huh, maybe I secretly love it? Nope, I don’t, but sometimes the mess and grease are worth it. Like for doughnuts, well and really any fried dough. And definitely this chicken. Seriously though, this chicken is special. When I saw it over on one of my favorite blogs, The Tart Tart a few weeks ago I knew it was something I really wanted to try....

My first tasting of lamb came in one of the ornate buffets here in Las Vegas in a mellow stew- crimson colored, cooked with carrots, speckled with herbs & tasting strongly of red wine. Since we do not consume a lot of lamb in India (mutton is more popular), we had only been roasting lamb rack ocassionally, completely oblivious of the fact how this meat would behave with spices. The tasting presented an opportunity to try it in my mum’s mutton & new potato slow cooked stouu , one in which the meat is first seared and then cooked for long good hours, often pushing lunch to evening tea time....

I am a big fan of soups. Nothing can beat a hearty bowl of soup – not only it is fulfilling, it’s easy to make and quite good for health too. I have posted a few of my favorite soup recipes on this blog so far and this one today, is a recent addition to my list of most loved soups. I usually prefer having thick soups that can serve us as a meal but then there are times, you wish for something light yet tasty....

Summer is all about throwing fresh food on the grill, tossing it together, and calling it dinner… Enter in this all-in-one blackened salmon. It’s the summertime dish that’s fast, fresh, healthy, so pretty, and obviously…so delicious. I couldn’t be more excited to share this recipe today! Again, this is another recipe I made before traveling to Costa Rica. And I’m already looking forward to making it as soon I return home, which sadly, is today!...

You can never go wrong with fresh seafood, whether it’s steamed mussels, a summery shrimp boil, hot crab dip or these super delicious lobster rolls. Lobster sandwiches are the absolute best way to showcase this succulent seafood variety! Lobster Roll Ingredients To make lobster rolls, you will need lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, salt, pepper, butter, buns and chives.
