Let me just put it out there that well I have clearly been loving all the pumpkin… BIG TIME. In real life, meaning my not so exciting life, I may be loving pizza twice as much. Especially a charred brussels sprouts pizza, because brussels sprouts truly are one of my favorite foods! But it’s cool, cause October happens to be national pizza month…meaning eating all pizza, ALL the time is completely acceptable....
And pretty snow too, which I am surprisingly still enjoying…but I am definitely at the point where I would not mind a long tropical vacation. But let’s be honest, the only month of the year that I wouldn’t want a tropical vacation is December, any other month of the year – I am all in! But since there is like zero chances of any tropical vacations this month, I am bringing soup to the table today....
Just when you thought homemade naan couldn’t get any better, I went ahead and stuffed it with cheese…and spinach. And even some garlic and herbs too. I’m sure you’re all aware, but I’m rather obsessed with my homemade naan recipe. It’s been a go-to recipe for me since the day I first made it, eight years ago now. Wow, that’s crazy to even write. Eight years is such a long time....

A little Tuesday sweet treat today! If you’ve been following for a while, like a long while, you may recall that back in the early days of HBH Nutella was a recurring ingredient that I used in many of my dessert recipes. Honestly, it’s kind of a special ingredient. Way back when…think 19-year-old me or even younger…when I was still living with my family. Every day when Asher came home from school I’d make her a Nutella sandwich using flour tortillas....
And you obviously know what this means. It’s cake time!! Actually, it’s cake time, times like three. That is how many times I made this cake in less than seventy-two hours. Ah huh, that is three giant sheet cakes over the course of just two days. No I am not feeding a wedding and yes, if you live in Colorado you should probably stop by for cake. Plus cold milk, muffins, croissants and homemade hot chocolate because I currently have massive amounts of all these things....
I never knew a bowl of oats could be so good! But then I made THIS bowl of oats and was amazed. I’m well aware that oatmeal can feel a little boring, but guys, I think we’re giving it a bad wrap. The way I look at it, oatmeal is kind of like a blank canvas. There are so many ways you can dress it up, change it up and make it pretty dang delicious!...
I love soups. I think I have said this enough times on this blog. Give me a bowl of hot soup any time of the day, I will slurp it off in a minute. My love for soups was started by Amma, for she loves soups as much as I do. So, it happened that one day while TV I happened to look at a lady preparing soup. Having not tried soup making then, I wanted to try it out....
I am a big lover of soups. I am always ready to dunk into some hot-hot soups and that’s the first thing I would for in any menu card in restaurants. As much as I love that small bowl of soup in a restaurant, nothing beats the comfort of having a big bowl of soup at home, especially on cold nights. Pair the soup with a toast or garlic bread, there cannot be a better combination....
And I am not complaining. Although, I do think I have slight problem. I can thank the grocery store, they fueled the problem,last week they sold avocados for only a dollar! One dollar for avocados is CHEAP for around here. Honestly, in one week I think I bought fifteen maybe even twenty avocados. Granted I think this was the week before Cinco de Mayo and I was shoving things like margarita guacamole down the throats of pretty much everyone who walked through the kitchen....
Just thinking about pakoras makes my taste buds do a happy dance! Whether it’s a rainy monsoon evening or any time of day, they’re the ultimate munchie.

For one, it’s SO easy. Just throw everything in and go. No peeling tomatoes, no chopping and no splatters all over your stove. Then there is the fact that your house is gonna smell like an old Italian lady’s all day long. It’s so good. To be honest, I am not the biggest tomato sauce person. I like it in lasagna, or when used as dipping sauce or sometimes even on sandwiches, but not normally with pasta....
I am on a huge “bowl” food kick right now. I think it’s all this healthy, fresh eating that I’m currently into at the moment. It seems that when it comes to healthy, fresh food it just works nicely in a bowl! I don’t know, either that or I really just like making giant bowls of delicious food. But umm, happy Wednesday!! I am so excited for today because I am back in the kitchen cooking....
