When I’m entertaining, I like to serve a variety of hearty side dishes such as baked mac and cheese, corn casserole and these ultra decadent and delicious funeral potatoes. Funeral Potatoes Ingredients For these potatoes you will need cubed hash browns, melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, cheddar cheese, cornflakes, parsley, salt and black pepper. When you want hearty hearty cooking, try these potatoes or some of my other favorite side dish recipes like zucchini casserole, smashed potatoes, fried corn with bacon or scalloped potatoes....

These Garlic Herb Roasted Olives with Burrata cheese are the easiest appetizer you can make. Herby-salty roasted olives served with warm, creamy burrata cheese and sweet honey. This is the simplest of appetizers, yet so amazingly GOOD. Serve this dish at all of your upcoming spring and summer gatherings. It’s perfect with toasted ciabatta bread for serving. It feels so weird to say this, but the new HBH Every Day cookbook is finally out!...

You can never go wrong with ham for the holidays and this glazed version is both beautiful and delicious. Serve your ham with loaded mashed potatoes and bacon wrapped green beans for a festive meal that your family and friends will love. Glazed Ham Ingredients To make this simple glazed ham recipe you will need a smoked spiral cut ham, butter, brown sugar, honey, apple cider, cinnamon and nutmeg. You may want herbs or cranberries for a garnish....

Watch the How To Video Here: Golden sun-dried tomato red lentil pasta from Half Baked Harvest on Vimeo. But the healthy kind of course!! Have you guys ever heard of red lentil pasta? Up until a few weeks ago, I had no idea what is was. My brother’s girlfriend Caitlin is studying nutrition and is currently into finding all the healthy ways she can to eat her favorite foods. Obviously pasta is a favorite (I mean who doesn’t love pasta?...

But it also just kind of happened. Like I have no idea how I came up with this. Ok, well I do. I was brainstorming and brainstorming some more (I brainstorm A LOT! Actually, I brainstorm so much that by the end of the day my brain normally hurts) when I came across a picture of a traditional vanilla Gooey Butter Cake. See, before I saw this picture I had no idea what gooey butter cake was....

Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us, and for me, that means summer is here. It’s a time for days spent in the sunshine, nights spent outside, cooking with family and friends, and enjoying simple dinners with fresh summer produce. Lots of grilling, fresh summer herbs, corn, sweet tomatoes, zucchini, and of course, all the berries and stone fruit too. We have so much to look forward to. For any given summer gathering, you can guarantee that I’ll have a pasta salad on my buffet table....

Basically I am full on ready for summer, and this recipe proves it. I know it’s only mid April, but in my defense, I feel like most everyone (in the US at least) is slowly beginning to experience warmer days that are fit for grilling. Are you? My fingers are crossed that you are, but if not, don’t worry, you can easily roast this chicken too! Either way, this is the perfect recipe for Monday....

The original plan was to make stuffed peppers. I had the entire recipe fully visualized and well thought out, and I was so excited. I started preparing my peppers and quickly realized they were poorly equipped for stuffing. The peppers did not look the greatest. Even though we had just bought them at the store, they were already on their last leg! I could have run back to the store, gotten more peppers, and proceeded, but I kept my goal for summer recipes in mind: simple summer cooking, nothing extra or fussy....

I love a fresh and colorful salad on those days when I’m trying to eat a little lighter. Some of my favorites include Chinese chicken salad, avocado tuna salad and this easy grilled chicken salad. Grilled chicken salad is a classic recipe for good reason. It’s simple to make, and you really can use any variety of fruits and veggies you have on hand to create a satisfying meal. My version features plenty of fresh produce and crispy bacon, all tossed in a homemade dressing....

When I showed you that super heathy salad full of colorful peppers, olives, lean chicken and watermelon? Yeah, well that salad was so I could show you these doughnuts today. Balance it the key to life, right? Salad for dinner, doughnuts for dessert. Sounds like the perfect balance to me. I have so much to say about these doughnuts it’s not even funny. Coconut, coffee, milk chocolate, more coffee and GRILLED....

Happy Saturday! I’m having so much fun with this year’s “spooky” cocktails. For each new drink, I’ve had a new inspiration behind the cocktail. This week’s cocktail is inspired by the magical Harry Potter series. It’s Spooky, but whimsical at the same time – haunted, spicy, sweet, and simple. I had plans to share another Halloween cocktail today, but this margarita just excited me way too much. It was one of those last-minute, eleventh-hour decisions that can often play out beautifully....

I usually save Tuesdays for a somewhat sweet recipe, a bread, or some kind of “snacky” item. But this pasta just felt a little more fitting than what I had planned to share. You may have seen on my Instagram story yesterday that we’ve had complete blizzard-like conditions here. That could be another factor in my sudden impulse to switch things up. And hey, when isn’t pasta a great idea?...

Stuffing has never been a highly cherished Thanksgiving side dish for my family. I know that sounds crazy, since stuffing is one of the most classic Thanksgiving sides there is. But for whatever reason my family has just never been all that into it. In the last few years however, I’ve had to cook Thanksgiving for a lot of non family members. And because I love to please all, I knew that my Thanksgiving menu needed to include a good stuffing....

Sounds weird I know but most of my food explorations have been this way. I grew up in a small locality where we had no access to anything other South Indian cuisine and at the max North Indian. Over the past few years of having my kitchen, without actually having tried a dish and only having heard a lot about, I go venturing for ingredients and try out stuff at home....

During summers, I am on a look out for light yet hearty lunches which are not necessarily salads and these peppers are just the right answer. Stuffed peppers are a classic comfort food in many cuisines and here instead of the bell peppers, I like using zesty pasilla chillies which are not hot but have lots of peppery flavor. You can cook the keema fresh and cook it a bit ahead as well and at the time of serving just stuff and bake in oven....

My love for Kerala and its cuisine cant be put in words. With every trip we take to God’s own country, more than anything I look forward to trying my favorite food. Today I bring you one of the most delicious curries – Kerala Kadala Curry. Not only does it tastes divine with traditional Kerala items like Puttu, Appam, Idli or Dosa but it is a great accompaniment for rice too....

I know, what on Earth is Khachapuri? Trust me, I debated back and forth about just what to call this recipe. Only because I wanted you guys to have an idea of exactly what this recipe is. I had to spend some time on Google to get more info. But to sum things up real quick, essentially Khachapuri is bread with cheese inside and eggs in the filling. The eggs make the filling extra, extra creamy and mouth-wateringly delicious....
