Gai Mei Bao is yet another lovely bake that I had my eyes on ever since these two lovely girls, Priya Srinivasan and Priya Suresh baked it for the We Knead to bake group. I was out of the group for a while and hence I could not bake with them, but I was so glad I stumbled into the recipe. If you want to bake some other roll that we baked with the group, I would highly suggest that you take a look at the Classic Butter Croissant recipe....
What You’ll Need for This Recipe Spices — I use a combination of ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. When combined, these spices give the cookies a traditional richly spiced flavor. For another spiced cookie, try my ginger snap recipe. Butter — be sure to buy unsalted butter and not salted butter. Various brands of salted butter do not have a standardized amount of salt. Make sure the butter is soft enough so when you press into it, your finger leaves a dent....
If you like this recipe then you will love my Chocolate Protein Balls or my Peanut Butter Granola! Granola Cups Chewy and crunchy homemade granola cups are one of my favorite go-to breakfast options! I love making my own homemade granola, and these granola cups are no different. Instead of baking the granola on a baking sheet, you will bake it in a muffin tin to make adorable little cups!...

Gravy is the liquid gold of the food world. It’s the perfect thing to elevate your Sunday roast. Extra delicious on fluffy mashed potatoes. It also happens to be quick and easy to make with our without pan drippings. Most gravy recipes don’t have that deep, rich umami flavor that makes it taste homemade. I like to add a couple of simple pantry staple ingredients to really elevate it. So even if you don’t have pan drippings, you can make this....
I have my days. Days where I absolutely ❤ nothing more than cooking (except family, of course). Where i’m willing to make even my red enchilada sauce from scratch for my enchiladas. And then there are those day. Where even popping frozen tator-tots into the oven seems like a chore. I have been on the hunt for a good red enchilada sauce recipe for a VERY long time. And yes, lets be honest, there are times when you want enchiladas and you want them now....
If you love salmon, then you’ve got to try my blackened salmon and honey garlic salmon recipes! SUper tender and flakey Air Fryer Salmon It always takes me a while to adapt to new appliances. I don’t want to commit to a large appliance taking up cabinet space if I don’t use it. However I have to say the air fryer has quickly become one of our most used kitchen items....
This one is marriage material! If only Marry Me Chicken was around a decade ago, it would’ve made life so much easier! Chicken breasts are seared to golden brown perfection in butter and then topped with a sweet shallot, sun-dried tomato, parmesan, and basil cream sauce. It’s so delicious the first bite could make a grown man or woman cry. It’s naturally low carb and gluten-free. So even if your person is watching their calories or carbs, this one should fit the bill, especially if you serve it with cauliflower rice....

Crispy Oven, Skillet, or Air Fryer Yuca Fries To say that I’m nowhere close to running out of delicious fries recipes would be an understatement. With regular french fries/wedges, plantain chips, and carrot fries already at our fingertips, now it’s the turn of these Latin American/Caribbean-inspired yuca fries (also called cassava fries). You can make fried, baked, or air fryer yuca fries (the latter are my preferred method). Once cooked, they’re crispy on the outside with a creamy, subtly sweet, and nutty middle....
My only complaint about the puffs was that there was far too little filling. So in my version of the dish, I create a pinwheel shape, not only for its undeniably hypnotizing structure, but also to ensure that there is plenty of filling in each and every bite. Using store-bought puff pastry sheets, these pinwheels are the easiest appetizer to feed a crowd or to serve at your next chai (tea) party....

For more appetizer recipes, try my baked wings recipe, nachos recipe, and buffalo chicken dip recipe. What You Need to Make this Recipe Jalapeño peppers — you need 12 jalapeño peppers, totaling about 340 grams....
The name Kachumber was enough to draw attention. I have eaten this salad many times in Indian restaurants but have never known it by its name. There have been very few times when I was able to eat this fresh in restaurants. Usually, the vegetables are chopped and seasoned a while ago and are sitting in their juices for a long time. That makes the salad sort of soggy and it loses its freshness....
There have been days when I thought that making vegetable stew was very hard and time-consuming, but once I learned how to make it, I realized that it is so simple to make. Making the vegetable stew takes no time at all and with the availability of canned coconut milk, it just makes it even easier. The first time I made vegetable stew was some two years ago and my dear friend Sujai had passed on his aunt’s recipe for the stew....
Serve with our fluffy mashed potatoes or sweet potato and swede mash. Don’t you resent the notion that we have to choose between comfort food and healthy food? I am usually the one torn between something warm, creamy and delicious and a bowl of salad, especially in the winter. Cabbage rolls are one of those nostalgic dishes, that many of us love, and despite their “stick to the bones reputation”, they happen to be quite healthy!...
Hooray for one skillet lasagna! It goes like this. Sometimes (read: most times), my love for good comfort food is borderline inappropriate. As soon as the weather is slightly more crisp than the day before, I am getting out the pasta and cheese and saying a final farewell to grilled chicken and salad. So, I ask you to feel all the feelings you get when a warm, cozy dish of lasagna is baking away in your oven....
Today I’m bringing you one of my all-time favorite condiments – a homemade garlic sauce recipe. My toum recipe has only 4 pantry staple ingredients and it uses only the freshest garlic! The creaminess and texture is similar to mayonnaise but this sauce is completely vegan and gluten-free. We’re BIG on garlic in this house (I’m sure that’s not shocking if you’re a long-time reader!) It’s easy to see why we’ve always got large batches of homemade toum sauce tucked away in the refrigerator....
