Think you can turn that chilli dial up a notch? This vegetarian Thai green curry is a veg-packed and healthy heat fix. Braised chicken thighs I adopt the French approach to cooking chicken whenever I can as I truly believe it brings the best out in meat. Especially chicken thighs. Braising combines a ‘dry’ cook, in this recipe a fry in oil, to brown the meat, then a slow ‘wet’ cook in a liquid bath to saturate and infuse the flesh with flavour....
What is Browned butter? Basically it’s butter that you’ve cooked! In the process all the milk solids in the butter become caramelized and impart a nutty depth of flavor that can only be described as intoxicating. To make it add butter to a small pot and cook on low heat stirring occasionally. That’s it! Transfer to a bowl once it’s browned to a nice golden color. If you haven’t browned butter before you’ve got to try!...
MEATBALLS. What is even going on here? We’ve got cajun chicken meatballs in a creamy sauce loaded with garlic, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Side note: I just realized that this is the 8th meatball recipe I’m sharing on the blog. WHAT? How did that even happen? I seriously don’t recall making that many versions for us. But here we are! One of my all time favorite meatball recipes is the Swedish Meatballs I shared late last year....

Easiest chipotle chicken taquitos! Over the years, I’ve learned that some of our favorite dinners are the ones I’ve thrown together quickly. That happens to be the story behind today’s chipotle chicken taquitos. The story starts with a batch of cooked chicken in the refrigerator, a bag of shredded cheddar, a bottle of salsa, and of course, tortillas that I bought intending to make something completely different. Probably these migas tacos if I’m being honest; they’re always on repeat for breakfast....
Complete the Middle Eastern feast with my recipes for hummus with roasted za’taar chickpea topping, easy flatbread and a vegetarian falafel salad bowl.

After my first taste of the Palestinian national dish, chicken musakhan, I was captivated by its mystery and exotic flavours and couldn’t wait to make my own....
This Hummus with Grilled Eggplant is also an incredible addition to a chicken souvlaki wrap. It’s difficult to imagine summer meals without grilling, and for us personally without chicken souvlaki! It might be because one of my best friends is Greek. We’ve had amazing meals at her house we are forever trying to emulate. Or it could be our longing to recreate our holiday memories from Crete! Either way chicken or pork souvlaki served with fresh pita bread and an array of salads and dips is a summer feast, that is impossible to forget!...

When I was seven, my favorite snack in the whole wide world were potato chips dunked in ketchup. French fries dipped in chocolate ice cream came in at a close second. Yeah, I know how I sound. Let me sum it up and say I sound both crazy and ridiculously unhealthy. But please don’t judge me based on that. I know… I’m asking a lot! Luckily for us all, my food palette has somewhat matured since then....

published Sep 23, 2022, updated Oct 12, 2022 While Asian recipes are very rarely improved in the American Melting Pot, there is one exception that almost everyone can agree on: the crab rangoon. This popular crab puff has a crunchy bite and creamy center that floods your taste buds with fatty cream cheese and mouthwatering crab meat.

Nothing can warm you up on a cold day like a bowl of piping hot soup. This is my kind of comfort food, for which I look forward to cold rainy days. I already have a Tomato soup recipe in the blog. This is another version that I found from here and thought will make it this way. I made this soup with mint and it was very flavorful. Just adding a few leaves of mint when the soup was cooking bought an immense freshness to the soup....

Summer is in full swing and I wanted to come up with one more no-cook dish for the bite-size appetizer theme. We love cucumbers and also love the Mediterranean flavors. I had a box of roasted red pepper hummus in the refrigerator and that gave me the idea to use it up in the cucumber rolls. The rolls were very refreshing and were perfect for a hot summer day. I also added some chopped pickled jalapenos inside the rolls for heat and that was something my older one really liked....
