Hold the phone – it’s street corn nachos! All the things I love about my homemade street corn dip put together on nachos! I loaded these up with all the toppings I like on my cup of esquites hot from the food truck and turned these regular old nachos into esquites nachos! It all starts with a bed of restaurant-style corn tortilla chips, top with melted cheese, butter-sautéed fire-roasted corn that’s seasoned with Tajin, garlic powder, and lime juice....

Sour cream not only adds flavor to cookies and cakes but it creates a really soft and tender crumb. I have a super easy recipe for homemade sour cream if you forgot to pick some up from the store and it’s not as nearly as complicated as it sounds. Use it to make these incredible cookies and my sour cream pound cake too. What you need to make this recipe Butter – butter is used for making the cookies and buttercream frosting, you must use unsalted butter and it should be softened (at room temperature) to avoid lumps....

Garlic Honey Lime Salmon Bowls. Please and thank you! This starts with an easy marinated salmon that we pop in the oven to bake. While the salmon is baking, I like to make a quick sauce with butter, garlic, honey, and lime juice. It’s slightly sweet, a little tangy, and of course, it’s loaded with garlic. When the salmon is almost done, we’ll pour this over the salmon filet pieces and broil just long enough for the honey to caramelize....

Comin’ at you with some poolside eats today! These California-inspired sushi nachos are some of the best things to enjoy in the summertime! I may not own a pool, but that doesn’t mean I don’t dream about all the snacky snacks I would make if I did have one. Each bite is filled with crunchy, deliciously sweet and spicy sauce, loaded with veggies, and protein. I love to drizzle a batch of crispy wonton nachos with sriracha mayo and my homemade wasabi sauce....

I love baking muffins, eating muffins, and spreading out muffins. Muffins are one of the best after-school snacks in which I can sneak in fruits and vegetables (not that I have to, but still do). My boys love strawberries and are it the season or not, we always buy tons of them. Spring is our favorite because we get to pick our own strawberries, eat loads of them and then freeze the rest to make goodies for the next couple of months....

Sundal has become a routine preparation at home these days because of its health benefits. The protein and fiber that we get from the beans is really a important part of diet especially for vegetarians. I necessarily do not make sundals with coconut and use different vegetables instead along with the beans to make it flavorful and healthier. The sundal recipes I have below are traditional ones that we make for Navarathri in our house....

If you enjoy this chicken teriyaki recipe, check out our baked Teriyaki Salmon. This recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry was inspired by our recent obsession with our local Japanese takeout. When we crave a healthy Asian dinner, we often reach for the phone and order Teriyaki Donburi Rice Bowls. They are absolutely delicious! As this has been happening more and more often, I decided to recreate our favourite flavours at home in the form of teriyaki chicken stir fry....

So here’s the deal: currently this salad is the love of my life. This Thai Salad with Peanut Lime Dressing has stolen my heart (♥). True story.

Every year, when the big meal is all served and done, I think to myself, why did I even bother with the turkey? I mean, the real reason most of us wait around for Thanksgiving is the sides, right? This creamed spinach is up there with my favorite things to serve on Thanksgiving. Tender wilted spinach mixture with a smooth, creamy white sauce flavored with a knob of butter, onions, garlic, and of course, all the cheeses....

My mother always soaked raw rice and made an appam. I always took the shortcut and used rice flour and wheat flour to make the sweet appam. This is not different from that, except we use soaked and ground thinai / foxtail millet along with rice flour and wheat flour. Inippu Paniyaram or Sweet Paniyaram also called Sweet Appam, is one of my boys’ favorite snacks and festival food. Anytime, I make the sweet appam, I have to make quite a bit as it is never enough for them....

Noodles, fried rice, and pasta; are something that is perfect for weeknight dinners and in our family, they come under the comfort food category. If going Indian, my family would call Thayir saadham (yogurt and rice) or Ven Pongal, the comfort food. But when cooking something other than Indian, the first choice for my kids would be pasta. Next to pasta, anything with tofu or broccoli would be something my boys would ask....

Just another comfort food obsession here that I’d like to share with you folks! Warm braised beef ragu that has been slow-simmered with onions, garlic, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and my absolute favorite ingredient in a homemade Sunday sauce – parmesan rind. The meat soaks up all those flavors and just easily falls apart when you shred it with a fork. Saucy, tender, and best when served over pappardelle pasta....

This week, after a long break I am starting my weekly blogging marathon. The theme for my first week is car snacks. Snacking in the car is an everyday affair for us, so this theme was very apt for my family’s lifestyle. With my boy’s activities in the evenings, we are out of the house for a prolonged period of time. So all our snacking occurs only in the car and it can be messy....
