Kempu Chutney is a popular North Karnataka or Udipi special recipe but it also popular across the state with names like Red Chutney or Red Chilly Chutney. It is fiery red and hot, with looks matching the taste and it is only for those who prefer & love spicy stuff. I had the chance to taste it in an Udupi based restaurant served as a side dish for Akki Roti for the first time and fell in love with it....
You can never go wrong with tacos. From fish tacos, to pulled chicken tacos, to carne asada tacos, they’re sure to be a hit. This Korean BBQ taco recipe is unexpected, but easy to make. It’ll be sure to earn you rave reviews! Every Sunday night my whole family gets together for dinner – the kids play, the adults catch up, and it’s a great way to relax before a busy week!...
Today’s recipe is a simple and tasty side dish recipe - Lauki Kofta Curry that goes really well with rotis, chapati, naan or kulcha or any Indian bread. Lauki (bottle gourd) is one of the vegetables that gets a lot of hate, even from the vegetarians. Including me. It is an extremely healthy vegetable, with a lot of water content and is nutrient-rich. To make it bearable and make it lovable for people like me, I turn it into delicious Koftas....
I’ve definitely shared my love for broccoli cheddar soup many times over the years. It’s one of those soups that for me, brings back all the best memories. I’ve loved a bowl broccoli cheddar since the days of my mom taking me out for lunch, way back when we lived in Cleveland. It wasn’t that often that we’d go out for lunch, but when I could convince my mom to take us to Panera bread, it was always the best....
I almost never share St. Patrick’s Day-themed recipes, but something in me this year wanted to have some fun and celebrate! It’s a combination of things. You see, I really need color in my life right now. Color and fun things to keep me from being completely bored out of my mind during these snowy Colorado days. I’m at that point in our the long winters, where I really need to keep things exciting....
There is fried zucchini, and then there are these fried zucchini bites. AKA…little nuggets of deliciousness. I’m not entirely sure how I ever thought this concept up, but it’s a delicious recipe that gives mac and cheese AND fried zucchini a whole new identity. Plus, if you’re looking to use up an abundance of zucchini this summer, this is the perfect recipe. The history on this recipe… This is a remake of a recipe I shared years back, in the earlier days of HBH....
I just feel like this is appropriate Sunday food. Or appropriate any day food. I mean, there is cheese, pasta and bacon. What could not be delicious and everyday about that? For some reason, I have really been wanting to make mac and cheese for like forever now. I think maybe because it is autumn, and our autumn weather tends to be more like winter weather. Which means mac and cheese should probably be on the menu at least once a week from now until spring....
Sometimes all I need is one thing to help inspire a recipe or an idea. Recently, I’ve really been into cooking with miso and adding it to dishes you might not expect. I’ve made miso ramen…two actually, but I wanted to experiment a little with the flavor. This sandwich is savory, salty, and has an incredible umami flavor, which is the traditional base in most Japanese cooking. Adding cheese isn’t something that’s often done, but something about the pairing of salty miso and creamy cheese sounded like it could really work and be delicious....
When I’m looking for fresh ways to serve up salmon, I turn to family favorite salmon recipes such as almond crusted salmon, honey glazed salmon, broiled salmon and this flavorful miso salmon. Serve your salmon with a side of sushi rice and watch the rave reviews come in! My favorite Japanese restaurant serves the best miso salmon, I end up ordering it every time I go! I’ve since learned to make this dish at home, and it’s actually quite simple to prepare....
It has been bitter cold here this week. And while it’s left me making all the coziest recipes, I’m excited for the new month ahead. Lots of fresh recipes with plenty of color! I’ve already start planning, cooking, and shooting January recipes. But with so many delicious recipe in the archives, I love sharing this round-up post every year. This is the 6th Healthy January and it’s become a month I think everyone really enjoys....
When I was asked to participate in Waffle Week 2015 I knew I had to come up with something really good. For weeks I watched my fellow bloggers come up with great recipe ideas and I still had nothing. Then one day the idea for these neapolitan waffles just came to me. But could I actually pull it off? I had never attempted to make a striped waffle before, and it had a high potential to be a complete flop....
I made us dessert that’s basically healthy food. Like whoaa, can I get a pat on the back or something, please??? Just kidding, but really, a healthy food dessert!! COOL! Well healthy food to me at least, I know that everyone has their own terms when it comes to “healthy” food, BUT these tarts are so my kind of health food…hello no added sugar, no butter and not even any gluten....
When I need dessert recipes in a hurry, I turn to quick and easy options like haystack cookies, buckeye balls, avalanche cookies and these no bake peanut butter cookies. Sometimes you just don’t feel like turning on the oven to bake! These no bake peanut butter cookies taste just as amazing as something that would come from the oven, but they’re ready start to finish in just minutes. These cookies are similar to the popular classic peanut butter chocolate no bake cookie recipe, except we’re skipping the chocolate and adding a second dose of peanut butter in the form of coated peanut butter candies (such as Reese’s Pieces)....
I share a ton of recipes here on Half Baked Harvest, but I don’t often share more traditional, homey ones like this wild rice casserole. It’s odd because my family loves traditional food. Meaning lots of chicken and rice, tacos, and pasta… basically anything on the more bland side of the dinner spectrum. While I do share those types of recipes, normally I’ll put some kind of spin on them....
Tonight feels like we could all use a good pasta dish to get us through until Friday night. I know it’s only Thursday, but it’s already been such a full week, and this is my comfort food. I’ve been looking forward to sharing this recipe with you guys for quite some time, and today’s the day. Mainly because I love it and am excited for you to try it out....
What’s better than one cookie? How about two cookies in one? These Oreo stuffed cookies are M&M meets Oreo cookies and they’re absolutely fantastic. Try these cookies along with dessert recipes like my thumbprint cookies, Italian cookies and funfetti cookies for your next bake sale! M&M cookies are one of my all time favorites, I even prefer them to classic chocolate chip cookies. When you take your basic M&M cookie and stuff a whole Oreo inside, you end up with a super fun treat that will earn you tons of rave reviews!...
Today I am sharing a festival sweet recipe Paal Kesari on the occasion of Vijayadasami. I shared our simple special lunch menu on my Instagram. I thought of sharing the new recipes in a few days but seeing the number of requests for Milk Kesari, I decided to share it right away. My original plan for the day had been to make my fail-proof kesari recipe, but it had been ages since I made Milk Rava Kesari so I ended up making it....
Tomorrow is Krishna Janmashtami – one of my favorite festivals of the year. We welcome little Krishna home by making all his favorite sweets and savories. We make elaborate rangolis in front of the house and draw his tiny footsteps from the main door to the Pooja room. The best part about Krishnastami is that our little God Krishna has no rules whatsoever. He loves anything and everything served to him with love....
Days like Monday (when I made these) and hopefully Thanksgiving too, because I think these toasties would be the perfect Thanksgiving appetizer. I made these Monday simply because it was cold (like so cold), snowy and I was thinking about Thanksgiving. Thinking about the holidays, the food, the colors and yes, even the snow. If you didn’t already know, this is the time of year when I love the snow and love where I live the most....
You know, some weeks really are just better than others. Last week I struggled big time. Everything I made I wasn’t feeling the most confident about. Fortunately, this week is totally different. I’ve really loved every recipe I’ve made. So much so that I’m sharing them with you guys as soon as possible. Like Monday’s Gordita CRUNCH tacos and now today’s Pesto Pizza with Feta Stuffed Crust. I had this idea earlier in the week....
