Brinner is on the table! Come and get it! Brinner. That’s right. As in, breakfast for dinner. I have a new obsession with eating anything breakfasty for my last meal of the day. Psst. We’re not counting midnight snacks. The snacks that are eaten in the dark with my face in the refrigerator shouldn’t count. What am I eating you ask? Things like this cold out of the tupperware container....
This broccoli is a great side dish next to Baked Macaroni and Cheese! I love to think of meals as a jumble of puzzle pieces to be brought together. It’s when each piece is found and brought together that a truly satisfying meal develops. That means that side dishes are more than optional extras. They have an important part to play to make sure that the meal has the right combination of nutrition, flavours and textures....

Slow and steady as we get back into the swing of things. Friends, let me start by apologizing for the cooking hiatus I’ve been on. The truth is, I still needed time to cope with the aftermath of the hurricane that ripped right through Houston and left everything that stepped in its path completely broken. But slow and steady does it. I want to THANK ALL OF YOU that reached out during this difficult time....
Not planning to use a slow cooker? Check out my Tuscan Ragu! I am going to admit openly that I am not a big fan of crock pots. Mine doesn’t get used very often, mostly because I enjoy the cooking process and am too much of a control freak to let the slow cooker take over. I also find meals cooked in a crock pot taste too similar to each other....
If there’s one thing I can say that I’ve done more of in 2020, it’s watching YouTube’ mukbang’ and ‘spicy noodle challenge’ videos. There’s something so hypnotic about watching someone make their way through a big pile of steaming spicy noodles (usually Instant packets like Korean Fire Noodles that are SUPER hot). Personally, I could probably only get through a packet and a half before getting full (and I’m not sure I could handle the heat levels either!...

This three-ingredient recipe is oh-so-simple and can be scaled smaller or larger to meet your needs! Water and white sugar simmer together to make a simple syrup that is used to soak the berries. The sugar syrup not only cuts the sharpness of the tart berries, but it makes them super sticky so that extra sugar will adhere to the outside, giving the berries a jovial snow-covered appearance.

The cuisine of Kongunadu is basically a compilation of recipes from these above-mentioned regions. This blog post has beautifully described the beauty of Kongunadu....

Now, of course, you can make them with a tablespoon of za’atar, a sprinkling of rosemary, sesame seeds, use your favorite homemade or store-bought spice blends, or go the sweet route and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar when they’re warm from the air fryer....
Love Italian Food? Then try my Crockpot Chicken Alfredo or my Pasta Aglio e olio! The BEST Chicken Parmesan This Parmesan Chicken Recipe is one of my all time favorite meals. It comes out incredibly juicy, tender and perfectly crisp on the outside. It truly is the BEST chicken parmesan!

Fortunately we’re here to help! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s easy to give a list of places to see and what do when you get there. But Prague isn’t that kind of city. There are places to see, to be sure. But you’ll miss the true charm of the place by fixating on a ‘must see’ list. Prague is wonderfully walkable, and the best way to see it is to meander your way around....
Hearty Vegan Potato Casserole with Lentils and Pumpkin At practically any time of the year, if you put me in the kitchen, I’m likely to churn out comforting fall/winter style dishes like roasted cauliflower soup, mushroom pasta bake, and red lentil dahl. But when I wanted to create the ultimate warming fall casserole, this vegan potato casserole (aka lentil and pumpkin vegan hot pot) hits the spot! First, potatoes are practically synonymous with comfort food (I mean, creamy mashed potatoes are on my menu at-least weekly!...
