As you guys know I’m in Chicago this weekend (follow along on Snapchat: hbharvest), but I wanted to make sure to check in super fast and share this fun Easter post I did with my friends at Crate and Barrel. I love all things Easter so I am beyond excited about this post. For one, how cute is the table?!? I mean, can you tell I am SO ready for spring or what?...
First Happy Deepavali to everyone celebrating the festival today! This last recipe of my Diwali Special recipe series is a sweet, Apple Kheer. Payasam or Kheer is an integral part of any festivity. In fact I can’t imagine any festival without having a cup full of thick, rich and delicious Payasam. Usually, my mom or MIL would prepare the Semiya Payasam for Deepavali. This time I thought why not try something not too traditional and ended up making this Kheer with apples!...
My next door neighbor (high Alton and Jan) just came over to tell me how great he and his wife think my blog is and that they are now fans of “Chef Tieghan”. They even gave me a hand written note! Apparently they are big foodies! Here is something you have to know about our two houses. We can totally see into each others kitchens, we both have big picture windows that look directly into each other....
I have also included instructions for making this authentic north indian curry recipe using an instant pot & pressure cooker for days when we all feel the time crunch! Serve the slow-cooked lamb curry with rotis or paratha , jeera rice or steamed basmati rice for a delicious meal. Sunday lunches in our home are reserved for indian curry dishes, with this meaty indian-style lamb shoulder recipe or indian goat curry often taking center stage on our menu....

Well, aren’t these cute, different, and fun?! So sushi cups, yes, I know, I’ve said before, if there’s one thing I’m not making at home, it’s sushi. I do think sushi is something you’re best to go out for, BUT, these are different. Totally no-fuss and so easy! By now we’re all familiar with the salmon bowls I often make. They’ve really become a go-to easy dinner that I can prepare any time....
So this title is just a tad deceiving. This is chili with a little Texas flare, but it is totally not traditional Texas Chili. Because traditional Texas chili has no beans and no tomatoes, but I added both and opted out of all the dried chilies because I just cannot not find them anywhere around here. I am sure they would be amazing, but you gotta work with what you got....
Happy Saturday! These cocktail posts are my favorite…but you know? After sharing a drink post every Saturday for the past two months, I’m starting to wonder if I’ll run out of new cocktail ideas. I worry for about a minute…and then I realize I have a list a mile long of summer, fall, winter, and spring drinks to share. So nope, don’t worry guys, I can keep the cocktails coming as long as you keep asking for them!...
Look what I did. I made a snacky, breakfasty, healthy item without one ounce of chocolate. It’s a gosh darn miracle. But I just kind of felt like with the giant triple layer buckeye cake that happened on Friday maybe it was time for something a little lighter. Something sweet, but still considered a health food. Something like granola. Granola with brown butter. Oh yes, more brown butter. I seriously cannot get enough....
Buffalo chicken takes a new form in these hearty sandwiches. The buns are brushed with garlic butter and baked to golden brown perfection, and the lettuce, tomato and ranch provide the perfect cooling counterpart to the spicy chicken. I have fallen in love with slider sandwiches of all types and varieties. I like making my own versions and these buffalo chicken sliders definitely made it to the top of the list as a favorite....
I think it is safe to say that I am pretty into fall. Lucky for us, for every season there are multiple pizzas to accompany it. Pizza is just that kind of food, an all the time, every season, kind of meal. It’s adaptable, and can be topped in more ways than I can count. Plus, pizza cures all. Like when your mother tells you that she thinks it would be best if she worked as the General Contractor on your new home....
Taking it back to the old school days with this cake…or at least that’s what it feels like to me! Growing up my mom made cakes religiously. Come Friday night we’d have fresh baked cookies, cake, or some other kind of dessert on the counter without a doubt. She was the queen of the Friday night dessert. No matter what the dessert was, we’d always eat them a little warm and gooey, just after baking....
Allow me to call it a beauty.I dont mean fancy or flashy. Neither I want to hint that I toiled over this dessert for hours. This eliachi shrikhand is hopelessly easy to make. Yet succeeds in achieving the delight a dessert can bring. Slightly tart yogurt flavored with freshly ground elaichi (cardamom) and topped with a luscious mango saffron compote - as simple as it can get but like a little sunshine in a bowl....
This is a recipe I wasn’t expecting to be so excited about. Because let’s be real, who really needs yet another cauliflower recipe, I mean, right? It’s true, I think cauliflower has been a little overdone in the last few years, but regardless I still find it delicious and always so versatile. It can be used in so many different ways. And while it’s definitely had its “moment” over the last couple of years, it has still maintained its prominence and is loved by many....
New year, new warm and cozy drink, right? I’m hoping you all had an amazing new year’s eve and day and are ready to hit the ground running with fresh (healthy) recipes this January! I can’t wait for what this year has in store. PS. if you’re looking for inspiration for healthy eating this week, check out my meal planning post. Speaking of New Year’s, did you guys have a fun NYE?...
Yesterday I posted the recipe of Vegetable Jalfrezi and I made these Cheese Coriander Parathas to go with it. Parathas are not quite common from where I come from and the first time I had these were after coming to Bangalore. I had the chance to sample some awesome aloo parathas and see for myself what’s so special and good about them. Though I love aloo parathas, I don’t make them often at home....
When I need a quick and easy side dish or meatless main course, I turn fresh and colorful salads such as black bean salad, Mexican corn salad and this easy and flavorful chickpea salad. Summer is the perfect time to make a nice chilled salad that’s not only easy, but looks impressive. This chickpea salad is the perfect go-to recipe idea. Whether you’re trying to cook for the family or need a dish for a get together, this colorful, delicious salad will do the trick....
I love giving homemade candy to family and friends, some of my favorites include peppermint patties and crock pot candy. These chocolate covered pretzels are a salty sweet treat that are fun to make and look so impressive! Chocolate Covered Pretzels Ingredients To make chocolate covered pretzels you will need pretzel twists or pretzel rods, candy melts or chocolate chips, and sprinkles. If you use chocolate chips, you will want to have chocolate chips and shortening....
Let’s see, Monday was all about some quick, cheesy and pretty healthy pasta. Tuesday was all about some 5 ingredient sweet chocolate and peanut butter cookies. Wednesday was the simplest – wild rice casserole, a perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving table. Thursday was just plain embarrassingly easy, cheesy puff pastry swirls <–SO GOOD by the way. And today – Loaded Chocolate Hazelnut Liquor Turnovers with Salted Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream ....
Chocolate pudding cake has a fudgy cake layer with molten chocolate pudding underneath. It takes just minutes to put together and is elegant enough to serve to company. I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I used to have a food blog a while back before I had kids. This chocolate pudding cake was the most popular recipe on my old blog, and it also happens to be low in fat!...
