The loaded sandwich is then dipped in a simple egg batter and pan-fried to crisp, golden-brown perfection. For a truly gourmet experience, dust your Monte Cristo with powdered sugar and serve it alongside more raspberry jam for dipping. For more brunch recipes, try my eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, or French toast recipe. What You Need to Make this Recipe Bread — plain white bread is all you need for the perfect Monte Cristo sandwich recipe....

Looking for more dal? This Dal Makhani is a legend! I have had a long love affair with dal. Even a simple dal can add so much flavour and nutritious substance to a meal. It works equally well as a side dish or main. Perfection. Although a dal works perfectly as a side dish to a whole range of curry dishes, it is also brilliant as a main. I love a bowl of dal with a freshly toasted naan bread to dip as a substantial and nutritious lunch!...

Will you look at that. Chili con queso mac and cheese all up in your personal space. You don’t mind, do you? Because if you do, I can just eat this big ol’ pot all by myself. Don’t think for a second that I won’t. It’s a 30 minute pasta that requires just one pot and is loaded with tons of southwestern flavor. Think hamburger helper, made from scratch, mixed with macaroni and cheese, and cooked in a chili con queso sauce....

While I often turn to my tried and true Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats recipe, overnight oats work for me when I just want to meal-prep and not have to think about planning breakfast for a few days. It’s also a smart option for warmer weather, when you may not necessarily want a hot breakfast. One of the things that first drew me to overnight oats was the texture — something magical happens when you mix oats and milk, and pop it into the fridge overnight....

published Dec 26, 2022 I’ve always preferred self-prepared foods over store-bought because I like knowing exactly what ingredients are in the stuff I’m eating. It’s surprising that so many people think something like curry paste is too complex an ingredient to create themselves. Its flavors are complex, sure, but making homemade curry paste is simple as can be! Like Thai red curry paste, panang curry paste can be found jarred in stores, but these packaged varieties will never taste quite as robust as a freshly-made curry....

It’s super versatile and really easy to make, and just like my classic tomato salsa or my fresh and fruity mango salsa it’s perfect washed down with a classic margarita on the side.

Being a South Indian, rice is our staple. Rasam and rice are literally what we grew up eating (almost every day). Our typical everyday lunch would be rice, some sambar or kuzhambu, and rasam along with some curry and we would end the meal with thayir sadam (yogurt rice). There would be days when there would be no sambar but rasam will always be on the menu. After a tiring day, when amma would be clueless about what to cook for dinner, the simple answer would be rasam sadam....

Crisp. Cool. And oh, so refreshing! Never in a million years did I think toasted pecans, briny feta cheese, crispy cucumbers, and sweet melon would go together, yet here we are. I will say that it did quite a bit more recipe testing than it typically does for an easy salad. The thing is I could taste this salad in my mind’s mouth and I just couldn’t stop until I was there....

First recipe of the year! And it’s a good one if I do say so myself. One that I worked on quite a bit last year to get it to where it’s at today. Spoonfuls of creamy roasted veggies that are then pureed and loaded with aromatics like onion and garlic. This creamy tortellini soup is loaded with tons of roasted veggies and is hearty and warm and comforting. The best thing you can eat, especially if you’re down with this winter-virus situation we’ve got going on right here....

Similar to tuna salad, this salmon salad has crispy celery, fresh dill, and a tangy greek yogurt based dressing....

People can be picky about fish, kids especially! But I’ve found that mine will always eat salmon. Perhaps it’s the texture, or the mild flavour, or maybe because it’s pink?! Anyway, whenever I serve this salmon Florentine with spinach and asparagus it’s always eaten up – even the bonus greens. Lemon dill sauce Typically, a lemon dill sauce is made with a ton of butter and served on the side....
