You guys remember these the awesome chocolate cups? The ones I filled with graham crackers, milk chocolate mousse, marshmallow frosting and chocolate sauce. Yeah, that week I went a little mousse crazy. And when I say a little, I really mean A LOT. We were eating mousse after every meal and for every snack for like a week. Nothing wrong with that though. So there is a lot of layers in these....
Thoughts about this salad, thoughts about summer, thoughts about South Carolina, thoughts about Oregon, thoughts about my photos, thoughts about my thoughts. Okay and thoughts about fruit, but that’s a given. I have so many thoughts going through my head right now that I just can not organize them all in to words. I have so much I want to say, but it is just not coming out in any way that would make any possible sense to you....
This cranberry beef bourguignon is basically the best thing to hit my dinner table all month. It’s perfection with a side of buttery mashed potatoes, and I honestly just can’t think of a better December dinner. Like classic beef bourguignon, this is meal is hearty, warming and the perfect stew for serving a crowd. I’ve had the idea to include cranberries for a while now, so I’m excited to finally bring the recipe to life on the site today!...

All opinions are mine alone. #BetterWithCraisins #CollectiveBias There’s nothing better than monkey bread – you know, that loaf of pull apart bread that’s covered in cinnamon sugar and doused in butter. But traditional monkey bread packs a lot of calories, fat and sugar. I created a lighter version of monkey bread that you can feel good about feeding your family....
The deep-frying process imparts a gorgeous golden color on the outside, creating a contrast with the tender and flavorful chicken inside. Serve this irrestible indian chicken appetizer as a party starter with accompaniments, such as green chutney, tamarind chutney, or a yogurt dip. Or you could serve as a side dish to main meal. Either way, these chicken pakora vanish in no time! You could also air fry chicken pakoras- I am including the instructions....
Starting the week off with lots of color and flavor! After the most beautiful summer weekend, I’m feeling so ready to take on the week. I’m excited for everything coming my way, including this week’s recipes! So many summer recipes, and it all starts with this salmon bowl. Yes, another rice bowl and more salmon. At the moment, this is what we’re craving most! I’m very into recipes that we can quickly assemble and serve bowl-style over rice....
And appetizers, and other buttery, delicious, flaky things! But I mean, let’s be REAL. Do these bites not look, um, delicious!?!? Do you see all the brie?! And the honey caramelized pears? And the crispy prosciutto!! I am just slightly excited over here. This may just be one of my best holiday appetizers yet. The combo of phyllo dough, crispy prosciutto, baked brie, caramelized pears and walnut oat crumble is kind of out of this world!...
And just when you thought smashed potatoes couldn’t get any better, I went ahead and added the only thing (other than cheese, of course) that could make them better. Hot Bacon Vinaigrette. Listen, I know potatoes are already a perfect food, but really? This vinaigrette just made them even better. And this is coming from a girl who really isn’t that big on bacon. But something about starchy, carby, and oh so crispy potatoes with salty bacon is almost as perfect as a food can get....
We have a new favorite chili recipe! This has been a winter for experimenting with chili. In the last few months, I’ve shared a queso chicken chili and a beef chili and we’ve been loving them both! We’ve had a snowy start to the year, and temperatures have been COLD. I’ve been really leaning into the coziness of the season with more crockpot recipes or braised dishes. They’re always so easy and turn out delicious!...
Crockpot Enchilada Pork Tacos of course!! Especially these no fuss, simple as ever, tasty, crockpot tacos. For one, they are delicious. Two, they are easy, so easy that you might actually be able to make them with your eyes closed….but I do not recommend it. The pork gets slow cooked all day in a sweet seasoning blend and spicy enchilada sauce. There are only a total of five ingredients that go into that crockpot....
If you’ve been reading HBH for any amount of time now, then you know that I am a just a little Harry Potter obsessed (leave a comment if any of you readers out there are as obsessed as I am). I grew up with the books and movies and I think I will forever love the series. Honestly if I could, I would forget everything I know about Harry Potter just so I could go through the books and movies again like it was the first time....
Today is Varalakshmi Vratham, an auspicious day to celebrate goddess Lakshmi in her beautiful form of Varalakshmi. In these uncertain and gloomy days, any small positive change feels like a warm welcome and today we took the opportunity of festivity to make the day slightly special with the limited resources we had. Dad had been working tireless setting up Ammavaru and this year, he took the task of making hands & feet for the goddess....
Happy New Year people!! 🙂 🙂 As the first post this year, I wanted to post something special, something sweet and here I have the recipe of egg-less chocolate crepes. The first time I had crepes I have to admit that I hated them the most. My husband paid over a hundred bucks for something that was sorry looking with nothing but some banana slices stuffed into it. It was a great deal having to finish up the entire plate as I didn’t want it go waste....
Tomorrow is Valentine’s day, but for us it is even more special as it is our Wedding Day. As cliched as it sounds, we got married on the Valentine’s day, a mere coincidence. Every year, I plan something to make the day special and mostly share a baked goodie recipe too. This year, I have the best Eggless Red Velvet Cake recipe. Full disclosure – I didn’t make it recently or plan on sharing it for Valentine’s Day....
For a long time now, blondies have been on my to-do list. As most of my planned recipes go, this one kept slipping until recently. We were deep cleaning our freezer and found that I had a pack of baking white chocolate not sure why I bought it, given we don’t like white chocolate and my mind started racing. At first, I wanted to make White Chocolate Cranberry cookies but soon I realized I was out of butter....
It’s been the longest time since I’ve shared a recipe that involves buffalo sauce. There was a time, a few years ago, when buffalo sauce was kind of “trendy”. It seemed as though everyone was sharing a new way to incorporate buffalo sauce into recipes. Even though the trend has mellowed a bit, I still love anything covered in spicy buffalo sauce. It’s kind of hard to beat. To this day, I’m pretty sure my dad’s favorite dish to eat would be these extra delicious spicy cauliflower bites....
Thanksgiving is just one week from this Thursday. How is it that we are already entering into the last two weeks of November? As crazy as it is, the holidays are officially upon us. The one thing that always comes with holiday craziness? Houseguests…or at least that’s the case over here. Around here Thanksgivings are filled with not only our immediate family (so mom, dad, plus all six of my siblings)....
Gobi Fried Rice is a simple but indulgent Indo-Chinese style fried rice recipe prepared with mixed vegetables, cooked rice and crispy fried gobi/cauliflower. It is also known as Gobi Manchurian fried rice and is one of the most popular fusion recipes in many restaurants. Cauliflower Manchurian fried rice is a very rustic, street-food style recipe made as healthy as possible at home. The cauliflower or gobi is deep-fried to keep the taste authentic, but it can easily made low-calorie by baking or air-frying....
On days when I do not make a dinner recipe for the blog, my family is eating one of four things buffalo chicken, beef tacos, burgers or steak. More times than not it ends up being steak. Yes, they are meat craving freaks. My dad and I could absolutely do without it. Fish is more our thing, but the rest of them will not go near fish. No, they are all about the red meat....
Funny thing is, my food these days totally looks like spring, but my environment is still looking like winter. I could complain for days about it, BUT I am choosing to be super positive, and just be like, “ahh, whateves”. I mean, we can all pretend right?? This is one of those recipes I have been thinking about for a while now. Well, not that long, but for about a month now I have been dreaming of making a fresh green pasta with zucchini noodles and heavy, heavy Greek flavors....
