Quick Editors Note: we decided to leave this post up for a second day today as I know many of you had trouble accessing HBH yesterday. We had tech issues that unfortunately caused the site to be down for the morning and part of the afternoon. Thankfully, all is fixed now! We are so sorry for the trouble, BUT hoping this baked brie makes up for it all. It’s extra delicious, so please make it and enjoy!...
Can you believe this is basically the first wrap recipe I’ve ever shared? I’ve avoided things like wraps and burritos for the longest time. And for the silliest reason…they’re hard for me to photograph. I know, how dumb, but we all have our hang-ups in life. But I’m moving beyond and embracing wraps this summer. They feel new and exciting to me and that’s just what I need. New, fun, and exciting....
I love to recreate my family’s favorite Asian food recipes at home including seared ahi tuna, zesty orange shrimp and broccoli, Buddha’s delight, savory almond chicken, quick and easy sesame noodles and this simple, yet satisfying pork fried rice. Whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant, I always order pork fried rice. That combination of fresh veggies, tender pork and flavorful rice just can’t be beat. I’ve since learned how to make this dish at home, and it’s actually quite easy to put together....
You know Mother’s Day must be right around the corner if I’m sharing a sweet breakfast recipe instead of something chocolate. While my mom loves chocolate (as we all know), she’s also a huge breakfast kind of girl. Actually, she really loves breakfast for lunch. French toast, a dutch baby, pancakes, waffles…she loves them all. So every year when Mother’s Day rolls around I love to share a new recipe inspired by my mom!...
This slow cooked lentil stew dish is known for its velvety texture and deeply satisfying flavors. Deeply comforting & delicious, you are going to love this dal makhani recipe. Best enjoyned with indian flatbreads such as naan and tandoori rotis. It is impossible to imagine Indian cuisine without dal or lentils. Lentils are a staple in our homes and a loved component of our everyday meals. Black lentils are a craze in north india....
Ragi Rotti is a healthy and delicious hand-patted flat bread made with finger millet flour spiced with onions & tomatoes. Keppai or Kezhvaragu is finger millet in Tamil and rotti is the flat bread, usually rolled directly on a hot pan and cooked to a soft textured center & crisp on the outside. At home, keppai rotti is a favorite especially when there is fresh murungai keerai/moringa leaves. It works great with moringa leaves and the ragi murungai keerai adai turns out excellent, not to mention what kind of super food that it is!...
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It doesn’t matter. This is one of those recipes that has the potential to be on repeat every single week, it’s just really, really good. It’s also healthy-ish, and super easy to make. OK, and it involves my homemade naan, which to this day is one of my top ten favorite HBH recipes (and consistently one of the top 3 blog favorites). If you have yet to make it, I am highly recommending that you give it a try....
Not only are these pork chops quick, easy, and delicious, but they’re really pretty too! If you guys have been reading for even just a bit, then you know I am all about creating pretty food whenever possible. It’s actually my goal to make all food pretty…sometimes I achieve it, and sometimes it’s a little harder than I’d like. I always say people eat with their eyes and if something doesn’t look delicious, then they probably will not make it....
When the holidays roll around, I like to make different types of homemade dessert recipes for gift giving including chocolate covered cherries, Christmas crack, peppermint patties, rum balls and this decadent fudge recipe. This s’mores fudge is the best fudge that I’ve ever had. I’m not even exaggerating – it’s the different layers that make this fudge something special. It’s a must-try for any special event! S’mores Fudge Ingredients To make this recipe, you will need graham cracker crumbs, butter, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, semisweet chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, vanilla extract and miniature marshmallows....
Every year, we celebrate Pongal at our in-laws place and my mother-in-law takes care of all the festive preparations. I rarely get to click pictures or share recipes during Pongal for the same reason. This year though, we stayed back in Bangalore owing to different reasons and fortunately I was able to make our favorite Sakkarai Pongal in Traditional Brass Pot. Although we will not get to making this recipe again for a good year, I enjoyed the process so much that I couldn’t help myself from sharing it here....
If you are looking for an easy show stopper appetizer to make for your Diwali party, consider this sun shaped samosa tart. It can be assembled ahead and baked when you like. Samosas are hugely popular and though I am all about traditional cooking but trust me having such recipes up one’s sleeve are also essential to save time when you are playing host and have a ton of things to do....
I’ll be the first to admit that there is a very minimal selection of side-dish recipes currently live on HBH. When I think about food, I simply think in terms of an entire meal. Which is how I think when it comes to sharing recipes with you all. I like to give you everything you need for a complete meal, an all in ONE recipe. Typically I’ll sway towards sharing all-in-one recipes like this sheet pan Greek chicken and potatoes or maybe these falafel naan wraps with golden rice and special sauce....
I figured starting Monday off with a healthy sheet pan recipe would be a welcomed idea by all. Whether you celebrated the Super Bowl or not, it’s always nice to start the week off with something easy, colorful, and delicious. This sheet pan recipe is all of that, and I really could not be more into it. It’s SO GOOD. I actually made this just this past Friday. I had other plans for today’s post, but was way too excited to share this recipe....
I often get asked if I ever have times when I’m feeling uninspired, lacking in motivation, or just having an off week. The answer is easy, yes, of course. And I am currently having one of those weeks! A week when it feels as though everything I am creating is just blah. I have all the motivation and the ideas, but when it comes to execution, I just can’t seem to get it right....
Crock pot meatballs are my very favorite type of meatball – they’re melt in your mouth tender and surprisingly easy to make! Serve your meatballs with a side of garlic knots and broccoli for a complete meal. I am currently in love with my slow cooker all over again. Fall is here, and my crock pot comes in quite handy for quick meals that don’t leave you or your family hanging, like these slow cooker meatballs....
I love to use my slow cooker on busy days where I know I won’t have a lot of time to prepare dinner. Some of my family’s favorite recipes include slow cooker honey garlic chicken thighs, slow cooker ribs, and this simple yet satisfying pulled pork. Slow cooker pulled pork is such an easy and versatile dinner option – it can be used in so many different ways, and it’s always a hit with adults and kids alike....
I love a good holiday ham, some of my favorites include pineapple ham and Coca Cola ham. This smoked ham is tender and full of flavor from the sweet and savory spice rub and glaze. It’s become a must-have at all of our family celebrations. My biggest problem with cooking for the holidays is that I run out of oven space. You can only fit a few things into the oven at one time, and I find that sometimes things don’t cook properly if the oven is too full....
I’m all about my smoker in the warmer weather months; all summer long I make smoked chicken, smoked pork chops, and of course these fabulous smoked pork ribs. When it comes to barbecue, smoked ribs are about as good as it gets. The meat is tender and flavorful and it’s so fun to eat off the bones. Ribs are the perfect party food because it’s easy to double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd....
I have a special Saturday post! I made us some holiday drinks that I just had to find a place to share, and today was it! These drinks are perfect for that BIG holiday coming up on Thursday or that other BIG holiday coming up in T-minus thirty-three days (ahh, CHRISTMAS!). I know I don’t usually do drinks, but this year I am so getting into them. I have people coming for Thanksgiving, and TONS of people coming for Christmas....
Some recipes have the ability to turn out so, so, good. Better than I had pictured in my head. When this happens, I’m always overly excited to share. It’s not every day that a recipe ends up working perfectly and tasting even more delicious. Backing up a little here. I’m sure many of you are familiar with my White Chicken Chili. It hasn’t even been a year since I made the recipe and it’s already the second most popular recipe I’ve ever shared....
