First, I have become a pro at making crepes. The first time I made crepes they turned out highly sub-par and I am pretty sure half of them tore and the other were highly deformed. Highly deformed means large holes. Large holes means the fillings WILL leak out. Not pretty. But I am proud to say I have masted the art of crepe making. Yes!Second, brie is the most buttery, delicious, melty cheese....
I’m not sure there’s a cake the embodies spring more than this cake. Well, I take that back, there are probably plenty, but I’m currently loving this lighter version of vanilla cake. It’s hands down one of the moistest cakes I’ve ever made. So perfectly sweet, every bite is delicious. I’ve been wanting to make some form of strawberry cake for over a month now. I just didn’t know what kind....
It’s kind of crazy, but that’s totally cool with me. What’s weird is that seasonally I am ALL over the place. Let me explain. As you guys well know I have been testing recipes for the cookbook, which covers all the seasons (do you follow hbharvest on snapchat??! all the behind the scenes are there!). Then of course, there is the blog, which stays pretty true to the current season… or at least what the season is supposed to be like (3-6″ of snow expected today)....
Happiest Friday everyone. We’re celebrating sweet cake and I am so excited. I’ve been holding onto this for a couple of weeks. I’ve wanted to share this since the day I first made it, but peach recipes took top priority last week. Which is totally fine, because of course, they too are so delicious. This week, however, we’re switching to berries, cake, and frosting and it’s going to be pretty darn great....
If you want to use air fryer or oven to cook these, I am including the instructions for that method. Me and the girls are like the salmon dream team. I cook salmon every week, actually few times in a week. Indian salmon curry ladled over steamed rice or yellow curry salmon bowl are their absolute favorite! But hold up, that’s not the end of the salmon story. Baked salmon?...
Making porridge and all. It just feels like a grown up thing to do, you know? Porridge can be looked at as such a boring food, but wow, it’s so not boring. And it’s SO cozy – and perfectly healthy too! Normally cozy and healthy don’t always go together, but well today they do. Yeaaahh. SO. I made tea infused porridge. I still find it totally weird that I despise drinking tea, but love using it in cooking....
We eat a lot of stir fries in my house, and this easy and satisfying pork stir fry is one of our favorites. So many amazing colors, flavors and textures all in one dish! I don’t think we ever go a week without at least one type of stir fry popping up as a dinner dish in this house. One of my personal favorites is this teriyaki pork stir fry....
I’ve turned my favorite Thai inspired flavors into tacos in this fresh and unique tasting dish. It’s full of vegetables and a dinner option that’s always on repeat at my house. You may have noticed that things were a bit quiet over here last week – that’s because I took a break from cooking and blogging and instead went on vacation to Disneyland! We had an amazing time despite the 95+ degree weather every....
I hope everyone is taking the day to maybe chill out…or maybe you’re prepping for the feast, either way, I hope you’re having a great day! I am cooking…of course, but thankfully my younger brother is in town, and we’ll be filming videos for you all to see throughout the month of December, very excited about this! I’m also excited about this Thanksgiving leftovers recipe. It’s one that at first, well let’s just say…I was a little unsure about....
I find myself making stir fry almost every week, I often turn to pepper steak stir fry or chicken and broccoli stir fry. When I’m looking for a meat free alternative, I turn to this amazingly delicious tofu stir fry – you won’t miss the meat, I promise! I have to just say it: this tofu stir fry is my absolute favorite way to enjoy tofu! Tofu gets a bad rap sometimes, but when it’s prepared properly, it can be just as delicious and satisfying as other protein sources....
Yesterday I made this awesome Tomato Biriyani that I couldn’t stop myself from posting it here today. Usually Sunday means Biryani day, as it’s quite tasty and very easy to make. One pot meals are my to-go dishes for lazy Sunday afternoons. As it happens, I did not have mushrooms or eggs and I was in no mood to make the usual vegetable biryani. Last week, my colleague happened to mention about her mom’s tomato biriyani and that had me intrigued....
I am a big lover of soups. I enjoying making them and I enjoy having them. There are a number of soup recipes on this blog, to show my love for it. If there is one soup I dislike slightly, it is the tomato soup. Be it at restaurants or at home, I seldom order the tomato soup or make one. I am not too fond of the tanginess of the tomatoes and somehow a tomato soup all by itself makes it too tangy for me....
And no, I am not going all no carb on you. Trust me that could never happen at our house. I am pretty sure we consume a whole loaf of whole grain bread every morning. Oh, and then there’s Kai and his bagels. The kid loves bagels. There are definitely days when he eat Einstein’s sesame seed bagels for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No, I am not kidding. But really, who knew that flourless cakes (cakes, cupcakes, whatever) could be so, well heavenly?...
With Valentines day being Thursday I thought I would make it real easy for you guys and give you a few of my suggestions for the big day. Whether you love this Hallmark holiday or hate it, you’re still gonna want to make these treats. I mean really, if anything else Valentines day is an excuse to eat a down right awesome meal and an even better dessert. So prepare yourselves, here we go....
Thursday night takeout-style food at home! What if we made this a weekly series? It could be fun, especially since we all know how much my family loves Chinese, Thai, and Korean-inspired dinners. Plus, I have so much fun with a “takeout” inspired meal. It’s always a nice change from our usual pasta and pizza nights. Creighton has been asking me to make Mongolian beef for some time now. Really anything beef (or lamb)....
So when I made the mushroom masala, I wanted something simple yet delicious to go with it. It has been a long time I posted an Indian bread and here I am with an easy and quick Kulcha recipe, Instant Whole Wheat Kulcha. Usually I don’t prefer eating these fermented, leavened breads in a restaurant as they tend to get stretchy as they cool down and on top of it, they are loaded with maida....
As we enter August, my biggest goal is to take advantage of the most abundant produce right now: tomatoes, corn, zucchini, peppers, and of course, the in-season stone fruits and berries. Summer and fall are my favorite seasons when it comes to weather and readily available produce. Tomatoes and corn are, of course, so delicious, but they do tend to be used a lot in summer recipes. Zucchini, while still common, is not used enough....
Watch the How To Video Here: I’ve told the story of my chicken and rice days many, many times, so I won’t bore you once again, but the short version is, when you combine chicken and rice, I’m all about it. Especially when that said chicken is full of Thai flavors, basil and cashews…aka Tieghan food. 🙂 So you guys, I’ve probably mentioned that my days are twice as long and twice as hard as they have ever been....
We love these 20 Minute Red Curry Basil Garlic Oil Noodles on the busiest of nights. Homemade basil garlic oil with Thai red curry and frizzled scallions. All tossed with quick-cooking (and delicious) ramen noodles and ready in just about 20 minutes. Not only is this a healthy (vegan) noodle bowl, it’s delicious for nights you’re craving saucy noodles, but need them to be homemade – and quick. Lately, my family has been requesting a lot of chicken fried rice or quick stir-fries with a Thai-style sauce....
Less than two days to usher in the new year and it’s that time of the year again, to reminisce and round up the last 365 days, looking forward with happiness and joy for the upcoming new year. Keeping up with my blogging tradition of a yearly round up (2015 & 2016), here comes my 2017 retrospective – food blogging wise. 2017 would go down as the year of growth for me, food blogging wise....
