If you’re looking for a new and different dinner, something fun, fresh, colorful, and delicious, then this is your dinner. If you are hesitant, don’t be, it’s time for something a little out of the box. Have you guys ever had falafel? If you’ve been to a Mediterranean style restaurant, than I’m pretty sure you have....
There are so many different ways to eat zucchini, I often serve side dishes such as parmesan zucchini and zucchini gratin. But my favorite way to make zucchini is to stuff it and serve it as a main course. Stuffed zucchini boats is a classic dish that never goes out of style. It’s an especially good choice during the summer when everyone’s gardens are overflowing with squash. What I love about this dish is that it’s easy to customize the flavors to your liking and is naturally low in carbs!...
Do you love a Niçoise salad? Do you know what a Niçoise salad is? Fingers crossed that the answer to both of these questions is YES. For me personally? Well, I’m taking the plunge into Niçoise salad territory, it’s the first I’ve ever had…or created. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with this classic and slightly famous Niçoise salad, it originated in the south of France using ingredients that are commonly found in the markets around Nice....
My family happens to love Japanese food, and I’ve learned to make some of their favorites at home such as salmon teriyaki, yakitori and shrimp tempura roll. When I don’t feel like rolling sushi, I make these sushi bowls and they’re always a big hit. Sushi is one of my all time favorite foods, but ordering it at a restaurant can get expensive! I’ve learned how to make this sushi bowl recipe at home, which is quick to put together and has all the same great flavors that you’d find at a Japanese restaurant....
I love to make my take out favorites at home, like cream cheese wontons, egg rolls, lemon chicken and Mongolian beef. This sweet chili chicken is a remake of a dish I get at my local Thai restaurant and let me tell you, it’s a good one. I always have a bottle of sweet chili sauce in my fridge. It goes well with so many different foods, but I have to say, this sweet chili chicken is one of my favorite ways to use chili sauce....
I’m always making our favorite take out dishes at home including Kung Pao beef, pork fried rice, chicken almond ding, beef fried rice, beef lo mein, beef and broccoli stir fry, and this spicy Szechuan beef. If you love heat, you must try this recipe! When I go to my local Chinese restaurant, I always order the Szechuan beef. It’s got the perfect blend of tender steak and veggies with sweet, savory and spicy flavors....
It’s an inside-out taco, and it’s not only fun but delicious too. I’ve kind of had this idea in my head for a while now, but it felt a little odd. I wasn’t sure if you’d all be into the idea of taco meat stuffed into your creamy avocados. But with summer here and the warmer days, I wanted to share an almost no-cook recipe. These avocados literally take minutes to make, are healthier, and yet are still really darn good....
I am so very excited for today’s post. Doing things just a little differently today and sharing more of an entertaining post…but don’t worry, I have plenty of delicious recipes in here too! So you ready? This is a big post…prepare yourself. I am not even sure just where to start, I’ve had this Mother’s Day Moroccan inspired brunch in my head for months now. I’ve slowly been planning, researching recipes, and brainstorming on it....
When I’m entertaining, I like to offer a variety of drink recipes, both with and without alcohol. Some of my favorite options include a pomegranate margarita, cranberry mimosa, pineapple punch, champagne punch and this easy vodka punch. Sometimes you need a special drink without a ton of effort. This vodka punch takes just minutes to put together, and has the perfect blend of fruity flavors. It’s one of my all time favorite punch recipes!...
Walnut Coconut Chutney is a typical South Indian style chutney recipe that goes well with both Idli & Dosa. With the addition of walnuts to the traditional coconut chutney recipe, it is nutty and creamy. This chutney is a great idea for those of us who are not big fans of walnuts. It helps incorporate them into our food more regularly. The chutney recipe is easily customizable. You can make it with or without coconut....
With less than 2 days for the New Year, I can’t help but reminisce what a year this has been – food blogging wise. I posted a total of 161 recipes, not as many as I posted in 2015 but this is still an achievement. At the beginning of this year, I looked back at my food blogging journey and decided to take it a notch down. Instead of churning out posts every day, I decided to improve on the content & quality of my recipes while focusing on my photography....
Everyone is talking spring, but the truth? It’s still very much winter. At least here in Colorado where the snow is continuing to fall and the temperatures have been bitter cold. In fact, Breckenridge just reported on Monday (the 17th) that this is the snowiest February on record…ever…and it’s snowing as I write this! The sunny days sure have me longing for spring, but the snowy days leave me craving cozy soups....
Stock your freezer with delectable dishes like lasagna, chili, pastas, casseroles and more, then simply thaw and reheat for an instant meal. Freezer meals are perfect for those days when you’re just too busy to cook! Weekdays can be crazy busy. There are daily errands to run, kids’ sports and activities, appointments to make, and about the time you want to sit and relax for a moment you remember – it’s dinner time!...
The one request I receive most often is for quick and easy recipes, preferably with minimal ingredients too. I will not lie, this is a most challenging task. It’s hard enough to develop recipes that are both quick and easy. But throwing the minimal ingredients thing in there too? So hard. I will always stay true to my personal style of flavorful, colorful, and beyond delicious recipes. This is why you don’t see a ton of these 5 ingredient recipes here on HBH....
Whelp, it’s about that time of year… You know, time to organize!! Duh. Today I am showing you guys a glimpse inside my pantry, which also doubles as my photography/prop storage room. I spend about 90% of my day in this room. I know that’s a lot of time, but guys, this is my workshop! This is where I choose my props, grab food from the kitchen, stage shots, photograph and then of course clean....
When I posted Aam Ki Puri yesterday, I did tell you that I have an incredible side dish coming up and here we are, with Aamras! Aamras literally means Mango Juice. There couldn’t be an easier side dish, ever and a great one at that. If you are a mango lover, there is no way you could let this summer pass by without making Aamras. On a hot summer day, there is really nothing like a soothing cold cup of delicious thick mango juice....
When I’m looking for a meal that’s quick to prepare, yet totally impressive, I turn to classics such as Steak Diane, Peruvian lomo saltado, blackened salmon, Tucscan chicken and this juicy, delectable air fryer steak. You can never go wrong with a nice cut of beef for dinner, and this air fryer steak recipe is an effortless way to get a memorable meal on the table in no time at all....
See, I made these Asian BBQ boneless oven baked wings you see here the other day. Then yesterday, I made more wings. Only yesterday’s wings where actually real wings, not boneless, and I have to say I am pretty excited to tell you about both recipes. Both are totally different, and both are totally delicious. For THIS recipe, I went with Asian flavors, and instead of messing with actual chicken wings I went the boneless route....
Growing up, my dad would make his potato chip chicken for dinner once or twice a week. And Mom would often do a simple roasted chicken with a maple Dijon herb sauce. We’d always have rice on the side. And if it was Sunday night, Mom might add some homemade bread. Maybe some broccoli too, but I’m going to be honest I don’t remember a lot of green things on the table as a kid....
Happy November everyone! My original plan was to share our 2021 Thanksgiving menu today, but I need a couple more days to put the finishing touches on the post. Very excited to share, but honestly? I’m equally excited to share these delicious french onion style meatballs. If I had to choose the recipe for you to all be making this week, tonight even, it would be these meatballs. Perfect dinner to welcome in the chilly month of November....
