Love a creamy, one-pan meal like this? You’ll want to give Creamy Chorizo and Spinach Orzo a try! We all know that pasta dishes are weeknight heros. They are quick to prepare and endlessly customizable. You’d be pressed hard to find someone who doesn’t love pasta. Sadly they also have a reputation for being full of carbs and fat. While it’s difficult to argue the carb part, fat doesn’t have to be a dominant ingredient in your pasta recipes....

Serve this salad with our delicious and hearty Mushroom Stuffed Meatloaf and Herb and Garlic Mashed Potatoes for a vibrant summer meal. The older I get the more I long for a small vegetable patch but the reality of urban living leaves me only wishing for one. The alternative to getting fresh, seasonal vegetables is farmers market. Luckily there is no shortage of them in London. Whenever I venture out to my local market the main thing I am looking for is large, ripe, bursting with flavour heirloom tomatoes....

What you’ll need to make this recipe Eggnog – You couldn’t possibly have eggnog cookies without eggnog, right? You should be able to find it in cartons (like pictured above) in most supermarkets.

Summer breaks are fun and tiring! Summer breaks are fun for kids and tiring for parents! It has been only 2 weeks since they are out of school, but it already feels like a couple of months. One side of me is so enjoying the relaxed mornings and the fun day outs with the boys but the other side of me is ready to get them back to school. Mom, can I have something to eat?...
Today I made the best cookies, ever! Not because they have espresso. Not because they have cocoa. Not because they have chocolate chips, or butter, lots and lots of delicious butter… Ahem. What were we talking about? Oh yes, that’s right; today I made the best cookies ever because I made a cookie that has all the delicious flavor and jolt of a shot of espresso with the delicious chewiness of a chocolate chip cookie....
Franzbrötchen, literally translated as “little French Breads”, is a German cousin of the famous French Croissant. When I first looked into the description, I had to think twice, if I was going to make something similar to the Croissant. I have made Croissants before and have to admit that they were one of the best breads I have made and the process is quite time consuming. I was not ready to make a bread that was going to be as time consuming as the Croissant....

This seasoning blend adds intense umami flavor and an irresistible crunch to everything it touches while giving us a window into the rich tradition of Japanese Cuisine. This Japanese rice seasoning is not difficult to make, but it does require a lot of ingredients you might be unfamiliar with....
For the second day with the theme ‘cooking from a cookbook’, I wanted to use greens. We had just harvested a big bunch of spinach from my backyard and I wanted to use it right away. More than me, my son was eager to see me transform the spinach harvested from his vegetable bed (I have to mention that it is from his part of the garden). Also, I wanted to try out something new that I have not made before....
White sauce is what makes my chicken over rice bowls so incredibly irresistible! Layers of creamy and tangy flavors speckled with black pepper and some parsley for color. Honestly, I could squeeze all of this sauce onto one serving, but rest assured, I don’t. What makes this so dangerous is that this sauce recipe uses mostly pantry and refrigerator staple ingredients and comes together in minutes. So it’s easy to put together a batch for my one pan halal chicken rice bowls....

Fri-yay! You guys. I have been pigging out on all sorts of Thai curries and noodle bowls ever since the day this little yellow curry paste came into my life. The flavor is nice and BOLD. And friends I do mean bold. Not like the stuff in a can where only after adding all of the can does the curry finally start to resemble the stuff you get from a Thai restaurant....
For some reason, Western food like pizza or burgers are more “acceptable” to eat with your hands, whereas there is a stigma around eating other food with your hands. This blog post covers eating Indian food with your hands. What part of the world eats with hands? Nearly ⅓ of the the world eats with their hands as their primary utensil. The people of India, the Middle East, Africa, and South America all have a culture of eating with their hands....
What is Mutton and what are its substitutes? This recipe is for mutton keema cutlets so what exactly is mutton keema? Well, the answer is not so straightforward. In India, mutton usually refers to goat as this is a popular meat source. However, in the rest of the word, mutton refers to a matured sheep aka a lamb that has reached adulthood. The word keema on the other hand means minced meat....
published Aug 19, 2022 I originally published this recipe on my sister site, Kevin is Cooking, back in 2014, after reading about it in an article on Saveur.com. It was shared by an American soldier who tasted (and subsequently craved) the grilled chicken while stationed in Iraq. Local Iraqis call this dish, Djaj Bil-Bahar Il-Asfar, named for bahar asfar (yellow-spice), the feisty spice rub that’s used to season the poultry....

Yesterday was Saraswathi Pooja and traditionally as an offering, we make the karuppu kadalai sundal. I had so much left over from that sundal yesterday that I had to make something to use it up. I have never made Kadalai Kurma before. Will I make it again? Yes yes yes…It was absolutely a transformation and we loved it with the roti’s. This dish would be a very good combination not only with chapatti, but also with rice, puttu, Idiayappam or dosai....
