published Feb 24, 2023 Pizza night just got a whole lot tastier with sensationally spiced tandoori chicken pizza. This scrumptious flatbread pizza highlights some of the best parts of Indian cuisine. The other day I shared my Tandoori Chicken (Boneless), so it’s easier to make at home and perfect for this pizza! It has curry infused garbanzo beans, lively mango chutney, and chicken so succulent and perfectly spiced that you might just swoon....
I’m confident enough to say that you’ve never had Brussels sprouts like these before. Garlic butter brussels sprouts are sure to be the highlight of your dinner table. And I wouldn’t say that if it wasn’t true. Brussels Sprouts aka one of the most underrated vegetables. You know; the little cabbagey-looking things that children loathe from an early age. The quintessential side dish that even the dog won’t bother eating because all that’s been done to them is a quick zap in the microwave....
Peanut butter noodles with veggies Do you like peanut noodles? I love creamy sauces and peanut butter adds so much creaminess and flavor to a recipe. And honestly, who doesn’t love noodles, well, I do for sure. This dish turned out so delicious, that’s why I made it a couple of times during the last week. I used wide rice noodles, which are perfect for this recipe because they absorb so much of the creamy sauce....
Creamy, dreamy pasta! Yes, this sums it up pretty nicely. Today I am presenting you with the best dairy-free Alfredo sauce recipe that I’ve ever made! The recipe is vegan, gluten-free, healthy, high protein, and super creamy. Plus, you can make it in less than 30 minutes!

I can’t talk enough about having a local Vietnamese market in Oklahoma city to shop for all my Asian needs. Every time I visit the store, I come back very happy after discovering one or two interesting items. In this week’s trip to the market, I was able to get fresh Lo Mein noodles. The noodles were really delicious and just took a couple of minutes to cook. Once I got the noodles, I decided to make my ever-favorite Chinese take-out food, the Vegetable Lo Mein....
This week I am blogging about different rice and gravy dishes and after blogging about one of my favorite recipes from Northern India - Rajma Masala, today I move on to my hometown. My mother was very famous for her Vathal Kuzhambu and I can slowly start seeing hints of it in me. My boys love Vatha kuzhambu and their favorite is the Pumpkin Vathal Kuzhambu. This Vengaya Vathal Kuzhambu is my favorite and even though I am a big fan of small onions, this particular recipe of Vengaya Vathal Kuzhambu, I like it with regular red onions....
This is the best white cake recipe because you can bake the cake batter in two 8-inch rounds, two 9-inch rounds, or as a 9×13 sheet cake, making it super versatile!

The zombie cocktail is somewhat similar to a mai tai, but is actually much older! It was created by restaurant owner Donn Beach in the 1930s and was given its name after the first person who tried it claimed to feel like a zombie for a few days after. (I only feel good, not bad, after drinking one of mine!) If you’re in the mood for more cocktails using rum, then try my hurricane cocktail drink, mojito cocktail recipe, or coquito recipe....

Truffle oil brings an elegance to anything it touches. Try it in Creamy Tagliatelle with Bacon, Mushrooms and Truffle Oil! It’s an unfortunate truth that not all foods look good in a photo. No beef stew will ever rival a smoothie bowl in the beauty department but which one will you choose on a cold, wintry day? I think the answer is pretty obvious! I have moments of doubt when I share these sorts of recipes – do they look good enough for anyone to want to make them?...
Well lookie here. Looks like we’re going to be stuffing out faces full of hearty comfort food. I’m not complaining; are you? When it comes to comfort food, I have a strong and borderline inappropriate love for all things stew, soup, or pasta related. And my ultimate weakness is when you take a stew and place it over a bed of pasta. So enter Beef Stew with Mushrooms: it starts with a fresh made-from-scratch super easy stew with crimini mushrooms, onions, and garlic that is so deliciously comforting because we’re using real ingredients like butter, flour, and beef broth and letting it cook up until the meat is almost falling apart....
