I love a good shrimp dish, I can never turn down surf and turf, air fryer shrimp, shrimp curry, shrimp Alfredo or Mexican shrimp cocktail. This creamy shrimp salad is one of my favorite ways to enjoy seafood, and it’s so simple that even my kids can make it. This classic shrimp salad is an easy recipe that should be part of every home cook’s repertoire. It’s quick to prepare, can easily be doubled for a crowd, and always gets rave reviews!...

As promised, we’re back with another Cocktail Saturday, and this one is one of my “spookiest” yet. You guys, I know I say this in almost every Cocktail Saturday post, but honestly, these drinks are my favorite. I have SO much fun creating these. I’m not sure why, but I put so much less pressure on myself when it comes to creating drinks. I just have fun with them, never overthink them (too much), and you know what?...

My family always enjoys taco night, whether it’s turkey tacos, shrimp tacos, pork tacos, or these super easy crock pot chicken tacos. The chicken filling can be used in a variety of Mexican dishes including burritos, nachos, enchiladas and more! Taco night is always a big hit at our house! I mix it up with baked beef tacos, Korean BBQ tacos, Baja fish tacos, you name it I’ve probably made it....

I will admit, I pretty much love spaghetti squash in every which way it can be served it up. It’s one of my favorite veggies, and about the only veggie I can truly eat in place of a carb like pasta. I know that my cousin Abby actually prefers spaghetti squash over real spaghetti. I’m not sure I can go that far, because well, real pasta will always be the best, but spaghetti squash is high on my list of favorite foods!...

For those of you who follow along with HBH on Instagram, you may recall the story I put up a couple of weeks ago showcasing all of our chicken eggs. I am not joking when I say that I am up to my ears in fresh chicken eggs. I literally have one whole fridge full of eggs. No messing around, an entire fridge. I’m definitely not complaining, it’s amazing to not have to cook and bake with store bought eggs....

Really I could do tacos everyday, but you know that may eventually get a little old. It’s actually been a really long time since my last taco recipe and when I realized this the other day, I kind of made it my mission to change that. Plus, my family like really loves tacos, so it was a win, win situation, since everyone would actually eat these. Well, at least the chicken part of the tacos, the salsa part?...

I soon began my experiments with bread and sandwich making. Egg sandwiches, Pudina sandwiches, Veggie Sandwiches were made occasionally. Then one fine day, I had a chance to taste the spinach corn cheese sandwich at Cafe Coffee Day. Blame it on my growling stomach or that being the only eatable food around, I ended up loving it so much. I mentally made note of all the ingredients I could taste and wanted to try my hands on it as soon as possible....

Oddly, I am really loving it, but I think that’s only because I make my salads BIG, full, and only filled with things I love…plus a heck of a lot of cheese. I mean, obviously. Soo you know that feeling when your fridge is basically bursting with fresh produce? You’re overwhelmed because, one, you don’t know what fruit or veggie to start with first, and two, you just do not know how you will eat it all before it goes bad?...

Why it took me this long I have no clue, but now that I finally made my first bowl, I am SO hooked. I will not even try to deny that the reason I am so hooked is solely because of all the toppings. The smoothie itself is awesome, but without the toppings I’d be bored. Toppings are my everything…well, when it comes to breakfast bowls anyway. I feel like I could write an entire cookbook on breakfast and breakfast alone....

Okay, this is so fun and yummy! I had this idea over the weekend and thought it would be perfect to share ahead of Memorial Day weekend. I was out doing my morning hike/run and dreaming of summer days. In my head, I painted the picture of a pool day back in Ohio. My cousins and I would visit our local pool almost every day. And if we weren’t at the pool, we were in the lake....

In this post, I am sharing a from scratch tandoori chicken recipe which comes out succulent, moist and outrageously delightful. You will be stunned by how easy tandoori chicken is to make at home in an air fryer or oven (instructions for both included). However, if you are in a hurry and want to use a store bought tandoori powder, I got you. Including the instructions in recipe card for the same....

When I get a hankering for Thai food, I whip up my favorite homemade versions including Thai cucumber salad, peanut noodles and this fabulous peanut chicken. I absolutely love Thai food but I’ve found that sometimes it can be hard to replicate the same flavors at home. Many Thai dishes call for ingredients like kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, galangal and lemon grass which can be difficult to find at the grocery store....

And I love them both with all my heart. I will not lie, I would probably choose a cheese board over a hummus board, because cheese is my thing. BUT this here hummus board is special….and yes, it also contains some cheese!! I mean, did you think it wouldn’t? Come on, you guys know me better than that. SO, what exactly is a hummus board?? Well, it’s basically the most epic spread of hummus with a very large side of baked veggie chips....

When I want to make a turkey that’s sure to impress, I use my homemade turkey rub as the primary seasoning agent. I serve my turkey with classic side dishes such as sweet potato casserole and cranberry relish for a memorable meal. There are so many different ways to prepare a turkey, from brining to roasting to deep frying and more! This turkey rub turns an ordinary roasted turkey into something extraordinary....

And oh my gosh, it is packed to the brim with CHERRIES. As of this moment, I am declaring cherries my new favorite fruit of summer. Growing up I was all about watermelon, nectarines and berries, but I had never had cherries. Or at least I do not remember having them around. My dad says we did, but I really only remember tons of watermelon. I am guessing we ate a lot of watermelon because with a big family it served a crowd…and hello it’s cheap....

Happy Friday guys! We made it to the end of the week, and are also to the end of January! It’s crazy that tomorrow is the last day of the month and that we’re already making our way through 2021. I guess this could be looked at as a celebratory cake! Maybe you’ve stuck with your New Year’s resolutions…or maybe you’ve broken them all. Either way, we’re going to celebrate with tiramisu....

Donne Biryani is a popular biryani recipe from Bangalore, started by the Shivaji military hotel serving Chicken Donne Biryani. Now there are many franchises selling it all over the city and it has been gaining popularity in the internet. In one such episodes, we happened to hear about SGS Gundu Palav and ever since, I had this recipe in my bucket list. Over the years, there have been many a debates in the internet fraternity over what is ‘biryani’ and what is ‘pulao’ and more importantly, if there is a ‘vegetable’ biryani....

I often make my family’s favorite restaurant dishes at home including zesty Thai basil chicken, hearty almond chicken stir fry, sweet and sour pork and this delicious and easy veggie lo mein. When I order take out, I always get an order of vegetable lo mein. I love those long noodles mixed with plenty of veggies! I’ve since learned how to make this dish at home, and it actually happens to be quite simple to put together....

The soft and spongy gujiyas are a burst of tangy, spicy, sweet and salty. They take a few extra minutes than your usual dahi bade and biting into chopped nuts as you eat them is just heavenly. If you do no want the stuff, you can use the recipe to make vadas as usual, minus the stuffing part, the recipe remains the same.I soak the gujiyas in hing water for about half hour and that makes a lot of difference....

You could think of chivda as an Indian version of trail mix. I make different kinds of chivda namkeen snack all year round. We love enjoying it as a savory treat with masala chai, but sometimes I take it up a notch by drizzling various chutneys on top, adding some onions, tomatoes, cilantro and green chilies. Just like bhel puri, it transforms into a delicious chaat!. When I make it for Diwali, I make it extra hearty with addition of ghee, more nuts and raisins....
