A lot of times I get asked if I ever wonder what the heck to make for dinner. The honest answer? No, I don’t usually have to wonder what to make. I typically have leftovers in the fridge from recipe testing throughout the day, so the answer is usually right there in my fridge. That said, I sometimes find myself stumped on just what to create and share with you guys....
Not going to lie, it seems all I have time for lately is to throw dinner into the crockpot, forget about it all day while I work, and then realize it’s nine o’clock, and um, dinner time! I feel like a lot of us are in the same boat (while maybe not the nine o’clock dinner part), so more crockpot recipes, right??! Speaking of being busy, have any of you noticed that we are less than two weeks from Halloween?...
When someone mentions indian chaat, what’s the first thing that rings in your mind? For me sometimes, it’s aloo tikki chaat-a perfect blend of crispy potato patty, creamy yogurt & dreamy green chutney. Other times, it’s all about the golgappas – the crispy hollow, bombs bursting with confetti of flavors. Heck, sometimes I can’t decide and just have to go for both! Who needs a choice when you have chaat, right?...
Today’s recipe is a very simple one pot side dish that goes well with any Indian bread. Kurma or Kuruma is a Tamilnadu special curry that has fresh ground coconut based masala paste. I have already shared many kurma recipes like green peas kurma , beetroot kurma, muttai kurma and vellai kurma. It is very easy to take this recipe and use any replacement vegetable to make Kurma. At my in-laws place we also make Kurma Kuzhambu which is similar to Kurma but can be mixed with hot rice, so it makes it a best side dish for lunch....
Ok, plus sweet and buttery and flaky! Let the holiday baking begin, right? Yes, yes, YES. Or at least that’s how I’m feeling. I just finished shipping off a box full of cookies to my cookbook editor, spent all day Sunday baking things for upcoming holiday posts and have plans to do MORE baking and photographing today. Yes, the holidays are officially upon us, and if I haven’t already said this (pretty sure I have), I could not be more excited!...
I glanced at the calendar today and suddenly we’re less than one week away from Christmas Eve. How is this even possible? I know I probably say the same thing every single year, but where has this month gone? It feels like Thanksgiving was just yesterday and we should still have all of December left to celebrate the season! Clearly, that’s not the case, but I wish it was. With this in mind, I’m bringing out all the show-stopping, super easy holiday recipes....
Is there anything better than a really good grilled cheese? I’m pretty sure it’s that classic comfort food we all know and love. As a kid, my grilled cheese sandwiches consisted of whatever bread we had laying around the kitchen, cheese, and butter. Three ingredients that can do no wrong. My dad would make my brothers and I grilled cheese on nights when he didn’t have a lot in the kitchen....
These are all of my favorite things stuffed into a cute little handheld pie, and wow they are so good. Typically I reserve Monday recipes for quick and easy family-style dinners, but I really felt like switching it up today. I’ve definitely hit that mid to late winter slump. I’ve found myself in need of a change from the typical Monday night dinner. Enter these fun little broccoli cheddar “soup” mini pies....
Move over raw fish, this fruit sushi is a a unique treat that kids and adults alike will love. It’s perfect for parties, snack time, or even tucked into school lunchboxes. This dish also makes a great sweet finish to a sushi bowl meal! I’ve got a really fun recipe for you today – fruit sushi (also known as frushi)! Your kids will go crazy for this sweet sushi, and who are we kidding, the adults will love it too....
Summer, summer!! It’s not even officially here yet, according to the calendar, but geez you guys, it’s so nice. I know I can’t stop gushing over the weather and how pretty things are, but wow what a difference it makes. And so much inspiration! We’ve had things like fresh cherry tomatoes and corn in the store for a few weeks now, so I’ve really been embracing more and more recipes focusing on those ingredients....
For whatever reason, I begin to think of pasta salad around this time of year. My dad used to make it often throughout the summer, when the days were packed full of sunshine and fun, and dinner just needed to be quick, simple, and easy! Summer is definitely not quite here yet, but we are mid spring and the weather is finally beginning to cooperate, YAY! It was a gorgeous sunny day today, the kind that make you feel like summer is here....
My beef tacos are so much better than the fast food version, especially when you use homemade taco seasoning instead of the store bought kind. Best of all, this dinner can be on the table in 20 minutes. When I’m looking for an easy dinner that I know my kids will happily eat, I often turn to tacos. I make these ground beef tacos almost every week, they’re so fast to make!...
We hope this guide is helpful and fun for you guys! Also, I personally love the Carhartt overalls, Oslo looks so cute in them!

This is one of those recipes where I have had the idea for a while now but obviously, me being me, needed to wait until just the right time to share. Thankfully, the week before the 4th of July (finally) seemed like a good time. So today I bring you the most epic summer cheeseboard of all time. OK, well maybe not of all time, because I have full confidence that you can all make you own most awesome cheeseboards…meaning…you can use your favorite cheeses, fruit and spreads… and leave the stuff you don’t love out....
September rolls around and like clockwork, I’m making broccoli cheddar soup. Except this time I’m making it in the instant pot, and making it healthier (and creamier!) with all the end of summer zucchini. I might even dare to say that this is one of the better bowls of broccoli cheddar soup I’ve ever made. And you guys, I LOVE broccoli cheddar soup. I’m sure a lot of us have a similar story to tell, but as a kid, going to Panera Bread and getting the broccoli cheddar or chicken noodle soup served in a bread bowl was one of my favorite things that mom and I would do on a chilly, rain/snow Ohio day....
Pasta salad is a classic summer staple that pairs well with grilled meats and makes a great picnic offering. I often make pesto pasta salad, Greek pasta salad and this hearty Italian version when I’m entertaining family and friends. When it’s warm out, there’s nothing better than a fresh and colorful Italian pasta salad! It’s full of bold and zesty ingredients, and the homemade dressing really takes this recipe over the top!...
I love a cheesy hot dip, especially when I’m entertaining. I often serve pizza dip, Philly cheesesteak dip and this amazingly delicious jalapeno popper dip to my guests at gatherings. Jalapeno poppers are one of my biggest weaknesses, when I see them I just can’t say no! This jalapeno popper dip might be even better than the poppers you find in the freezer section, because I took them same flavors and added BACON to the mix....
Fridays are made even better with something sweet. Especially when it’s berry-filled, warm, and just out of the oven. Oh, and with ice cream, of course. It’s no secret that I’m loving the summer fruit right now. Since our Colorado peaches are not yet at their best, I’ve been embracing all the berries. I’m definitely not complaining, I love berries. But I had a whole fridge full of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries....
Andhra special Kadapa Karam Dosa is a simple but extremely delicious dosa recipe made with special Erra Karam – red chilli onion chutney and an instant Pappula Podi – chutney powder. It is quite popular all over Andhra but specifically in Rayalaseema region (Kadapa) where spices are much more generously used. Erra Karam Dosa gained much popularity with the emergence of the tiffin bandis – small pushcarts selling hot delicious snacks & quite bites....
