How did that happen, it seems like last week was Halloween! I have to admit though, I am so excited! Thanksgiving around here means cooking all day while listening to Christmas music, cutting down our Christmas tree, serving up a delicious meal and topping it of with our first Christmas movie of the season! Ahh, so wonderful! It is crazy how time speeds up during the holidays and it is safe to say the holidays are here....
If I had to list some of my favorite things about fall, soup would be one of them. I mean, fall foods, in general, are my favorites, but soup is definitely high on my list. As I probably said last year as well, I have a new soup recipe lined-up for every week this month. I’m not losing inspiration any time soon, as my “to make” list continues to grow daily… And while my list grows, I continue to have the hardest time deciding exactly what recipes to make....
We’re entering into the late summer days. And in looking at the calendar, I’m realizing that somehow, August 1st is already this Sunday! With all the travel and work that July brought, the month really flew by. And as sad as I am to say good bye to July for yet another year, I’m looking forward to all the August produce that’s coming. August is typically the month when summer produce is at its best....
Here’s the debate of the day, is this a custard or a pudding? After a lot of googling and reading, I’ve come to the conclusion that it could be either. Both custards and puddings traditionally contain cream and egg yolks, and both are made by cooking the two together on the stove and then chilling until set. From what I googled, custards tend to be a little on the runnier side, and puddings are much thicker....
Sandwiches of any kind are one of the foods I struggle with most when it comes to photography. It’s stupid, but because I struggle with them so much I always avoid sharing any kind of sandwich recipe. I literally cringe at the thought of photographing them. The fear of an ugly food photo stops me in my tracks. I know, I know, stupid. But hey, look at me today! Here I am with my favorite quinoa burger....
Making snacks and savories in air fryer is such a delight as we get to make healthy, low-calorie version of delicious snacks without having to compromise on the taste. Crispy roasted chana in air fryer yields a brilliant tea-time snack that can be very easily in a few minutes. Traditionally Kurkure Chana Namkeen is deep-fried in oil until crispy & golden, which can make it greasy and oily. With the help of the air fryer, all it takes is less than 2 teaspoons to oil to make a delicious tea-time snack like crispy roasted air fryer chickpeas....

This Crockpot Thai Broccoli Rabe Chicken Curry gives off a super cozy feel, and is the perfect, quick, easy, and healthy meal.

Ok well, I do not technically know if anyone has ever actually said that, but I know people think it and those people are out of their gosh darn minds. Everybody needs a little chocolate to get them through the week. Now there is even research showing that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, has been proven to be crazy healthy. (Maybe just not in the amounts we consume it around here – Oops!...
Make this easy stuffed aloo tikki chaat at home on Diwali, Holi parties, for your next potluck or anytime you are craving chaat. It can be served as an appetizer, a snack or as a side dish. Love indian potato recipes? Another of our favorite indian street food recipe is this Delhi Style Aloo Chaat. Chaat is the most loved savory snack on roadsides in India (and the Indian subcontinent)....
Chai is a loved indian beverage and really I had never tried it iced before coming to the States. But then slowly I started liking it from cafes all around (its a very cool concept actually) and with the aroma of spices and inspired by vietnamese coffee, sweetened with condensed milk, its one of my favorite summer beverage. This concentrate is just not suitable for iced tea, you can use it to make hot tea as well....
Finally a chocolate mousse recipe for you all! I have no idea why I’ve waited so long to share one of our favorite simple desserts. But with Mother’s Day coming up next Sunday, I wanted to share one of my mom’s favorite desserts. When it comes to chocolate mousse, it’s a dessert that always makes me think of my mom. Growing up, my mom would use a box mix to make chocolate mousse for her Death by Chocolate recipe that she’d make on Christmas Eve....
Second to last recipe post of 2020! So weird right? I’ve shared more recipes this year, created more content, and opened up more than ever before. I know 2020 was weird and difficult for many, but when it comes to all things HBH, we sure had an amazing year. I’m loving reflecting back on all the positive things this year has brought. I was just reading some of (many) comments from Sunday’s Favorites post....
I have said this before and I will say it again – I have a love hate relationship with chocolate. There are times I absolutely can’t resist chocolate, especially dark bitter chocolate and then there are times I don’t want anything to do with chocolate at all. Either way, I love sweets and desserts – this blog is a proof for that. Let’s just say that right now I am in a chocolate loving stage and have been making a lot of chocolate based desserts....
I had been planning on making these simple, super tasty cookies since long and one evening, I decided enough is enough and got onto making these. Would you believe if I said it only took me all of 15 mins to make one batch of these delicious cookies?! The cookies turned out to be melt in mouth, soft yet crunchy, utterly butterly and totally awesome – if I say so myself....
I am so glad I made this Eggless Dates Walnut Cake today, which I had been postponing for no reason all along… The most exciting part of this cake is that its eggless and uses only oil - that too very less compared to any other eggless cakes. This would be perfect for the tea/coffee time. I love making cakes that use only natural ingredients and this is one such cake that uses fresh dates....
Being a vegetarian in foreign lands could be a little hard and I used to keep ordering the same things - pesto pizza, cheese & tomato focaccia, eggplant pasta & pizza,lemon linguini etc. If it were not for those pizzeria and the piping hot pizza they served, I would have never learnt to eat eggplant this way. Yum!The pizzas were super delicious, though I must admit a bit lacking on spice levels for my indian palate....
This is one of those recipes that I feel like you probably already know how to cook but I still have to tell you about. I just have to let you know how yummy these drippy eggs are when paired with these french toast/grilled cheese sticks. I mean, toasted cheesy sticks? With that drippy egg? In my eyes…breakfast, lunch and dinner perfection. My grandma has been telling me about these drippy eggs for a while now....
Say hi to your new favorite meal for both spring AND summer. You guys, it’s so crazy how the littlest things can inspire such an incredible recipe. The weather here in Colorado has finally decided to cooperate with spring and we’ve had some seriously sunny days with temperatures in the fifties, which around here is very warm. And yes, I am so happy about it…of course there’s still snow in the forecast later this week, but I’m going to ignore that completely and just pray it does not happen....
2015 – I am so not ready for you. 2014 was pretty darn good to me and so much has happened and changed in just one year, it’s INSANE. 2014 was an amazing growth year for me. Here are some of the highlights for me: *My invisible internet friends have grown greatly. *Winning the Better Homes and Garden Best Everyday Eats Blogger Award. *Readers making and sharing recipes on Instgram (I LOVE THIS)....
Today marks the official start of our 2020 Thanksgiving recipes! Is anyone else so excited for the holidays this year? I can’t seem to stop planning and prepping for all that is to come. I’ve been non-stop texting new Thanksgiving recipes and plotting out our menu all week long. So excited to share the details next week. I’m using a mix of new and old recipes, but really sticking to comfort food classics this year....
