Can you tell? I’m on a creamy, cold dessert kick this month. So far I’ve made popsicles and frozen banana clusters. And now these sweet, creamy peanut butter yogurt cups (which can be frozen or just left in the fridge). Next on my list is no-churn ice cream. Then maybe something for the 4th of July, which shockingly is only a little over a month away! With the end of May quickly approaching, I’m in full-on summer mode....
This is what I call summer comfort food. As you guys know, come the fall months I’m all about cozy, comfort foods, but I also think that summer can use a cozier recipe or two. Enter this creamed corn chicken. It’s cozy, but yet totally summery at the same time, and I am in love with it. Plus, it’s a one skillet, no oven, kind of recipe. So for those of you who don’t want to do a lot of dishes and can’t even begin to think about turning on the oven in the summer heat, this is your dinner....
At least on this particular Monday. I’m starting to get slightly embarrassed by my obsession with winter citrus, but I can’t stop. It’s so pretty and it is SO good. Sweet, juicy and packed with all the color I need to brighten just about any cold winter day. I was about to say cold and dark winter day, but now that it’s February, I am starting to notice the days getting longer and longer with each and every day, YEAH....

So I’m sure you guys may have noticed, but over the last year or so I’ve been a little in over my head with work. I cannot lie, it has been a lot to manage the blog, the cookbook and freelance work. But I also cannot lie, that I LOVE being busy, and I LOVE working. However, I’m realizing that it’s time to grow our little Half Baked Harvest team....
I just got too excited. Too excited about these salmon burgers. Too excited about the coconut caramelized pineapple I put on these burgers. Too excited about the Hawaiian BBQ sauce dripping down the burger. Can you guys tell, I get really, really excited about things. And when I say things, what I really mean is food. Especially pretty food on pretty things. I also get way too excited about an empty house, a clean house, flowers and ah… lists....

Do you remember on Monday when I said I had chocolate on my mind? Well, I really was not kidding. I just needed cake, and it needed to be chocolate. I mean, of course it needed to be chocolate. I have been all wrapped up in summer foods, no bake desserts and even trying my hand at few fruit desserts. Thus I’ve let way too much time pass without having any chocolate cake and/or chocolate like things in the house....
You guys, today is a special, special day. We have homemade chocolate fudge pop tarts to talk about! And best of all? They take us back to the carefree days of being a kid, and that’s something we should all embrace right now. Less stress, more baking, and plenty of chocolate. Yess! But really, what was your favorite pop tart flavor growing up? I only ever ate the chocolate fudge pop tarts and left anything berry-filled in the dust....
In my opinion, when it comes to salad dressing, homemade is the way to go. Whether it’s Greek salad dressing, Asian salad dressing, Italian dressing, balsamic vinaigrette or ranch, the fresh versions have way more flavor. One of my daughters is obsessed with restaurant style ranch dressing, so I decided it was time to try making it myself. This homemade ranch dressing is full of zesty flavor, and comes together in just minutes....
Yep, we’ve got all that and more today. You guys, honest truth? If I could, I would eat this for dinner, lunch or even breakfast, pretty much every day of the week. I adore this crostini. It’s always the simplest of recipes that I love most…okok and the ones with carbs, cheese, and fresh fruit…so typical for me. When I was doing my bi-weekly recipe brainstorming session the other week my mind was completely focused on three things: fresh eats with veggies, fruits galore, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day....
I’m a huge fan of hot cheesy dips, especially when I’m throwing a party. I always have a selection of dips including pizza dip, jalapeno popper dip, and this fabulous spinach dip.

I turn to other kitchen appliances like the slow cooker and Instant Pot to make life easier....

He was cooking a classic Brit dish with Indian twist. He took a bunch of curry leaves and in one swift movement, pulled the leaves away from the stem....
No-churn ice creams are one of my favorite treat to make at home during summer. They are incredibly creamy, require minimal effort, and are perfect for endless ice cream request during summer break! Among my favorites are also these homemade ice cream recipes like masala chai ice cream and kaju kishmish ice cream. Speaking of lychees, to be truthful, I had never considered using them in a recipe up until this summer when I had the opportunity to taste a lychee custard during one of our trips....
The difference??? Pizza dip is basically all the melted, gooey cheese you’d normally get on a pizza, times three! AND, the cheese is on the bottom so it’s kind like a reversed pizza. Oh my gosh, YES. I mean, really could it get any better? Thinking not. Here’s the thing, I almost never, ever make appetizers. I know I have told you guys this before, but with my family/the people I feed, it’s all about the big meal....
I can hardly imagine any festival or function go by at the in-laws place, without Masal Vadai being made. The entire house smells sweet (ironic, I know for a savory dish) with the vadai in the making. My MIL being the sweetest soul that she is, hands us hot-hot vadais straight out of the pan. So, it goes without saying that she is THE masala vada expert and this recipe is from her kitchen!...
