My family is huge bread loving one. We love bread in any shape and form. We love Multigrain Bread that we buy from the stores. Yes, the bread is very healthy, but apart from that the main reason we keep going back to eating it is the texture. When I saw this bread on Nivedhanam Sowmya’s space, I wanted to try it right away. Like she mentioned this bread was really out of this world....
You’ve officially seen it all. Cheesecake made in the instant pot. There’s a sentence I never thought I’d say. But not only is instant pot cheesecake easy to make; it’s just as good as it’s oven counterpart. It starts with a buttery graham cracker crust and is topped with a velvety smooth cream cheese mixture and then pressure cooked for a little less than an hour. It’s also a manageable 6-inch cheesecake so you can make it for dinner parties or during the holidays when you’re trying to stretch the dessert table a little more and don’t want to have TONS of cheesecake around after....
For a quicker no knead bread recipe, check out my Dutch Oven Bread. For years bread making has been my Everest. Always admired but never conquered. I am a pretty good baker and I make all kinds of baked goods, as you know if you follow me, but for some reason working with yeast has always scared me. Such a shame, especially coming from a Russian family where bread is considered to be the essential part of any meal or, as the Russian proverb says, “Bread is the head of everything....

These cookies are excellent for brightening your day with some sunny citrus flavors. They don’t require any special ingredients and the cookie dough comes together quickly with a mixer. Light and refreshing, you’ll want to eat cookie after cookie.

What You Need to Make This Recipe Oreos — feel free to use regular or double-stuffed Oreos for this recipe. Do not scrape off the filling in the cookies as you need them to bind the crust together. Butter — the melted butter will harden and stiffen the crust once it chills. Do not use salted butter or the crust will taste salty. There’s no salt added to this Oreo cream pie, so you can’t simply omit salt to make up for it....
Hey, I hope you are as excited as I am about these delicious vegetarian fajitas with oven-roasted vegetables! As you know, I love Mexican food (well, rather Tex-Mex). Most of my Mexican inspired recipes are not “traditional” Mexican recipes though. Why? Because I always add my own twist which sometimes is not Mexican AT ALL, haha. However, I want to share vegan recipes with you, which I enjoy most, and to me, it’s not important if they are “real”, “traditional” or whatever....
I love paneer in any dish and nowadays I substitute most of my paneer dishes with tofu. The main reason for this is that my older one does not appreciate paneer as much as he does tofu. But sometimes a girl has to give it to her cravings as well. I make paneer pulao or fried rice, but when I came across this recipe, I knew this was going to be a sure hit in my family....
Many primavera pasta recipes call for a rich cream sauce, but I favor a light, lemony sauce that relies on a little butter and pasta water for its silky texture and bright flavor. If you want to add a protein, the lemony flavor pairs well with a browned chicken breast or flaky piece of fish, like salmon or flounder. For more quick and easy pasta recipes, try my penne alla vodka, chicken alfredo, and chicken scampi recipe....
I love Pav Bhaji ever since when I was a child, but nothing close to how much my little one loves it. I have to say my little one is crazy about Pav Bhaji and that is pretty much all he ate during our last trip to India. We would step into any restaurant and the first thing he would ask is for Pav Bhaji. The craze was so high that we had to leave a couple of restaurants because they did not have Pav Bhaji on their menu!...

peruvian chicken with green sauce Boring chicken dinners need to move over, because this Peruvian-style chicken is here to save dinnertime! For real, this chicken is so tender, flavorful and easy to make! You might just get addicted like I did. You might be asking, what exactly makes this chicken Peruvian?

This is my all time favorite pumpkin cupcakes recipe. Hands down. All the time. The best part about this recipe? These cupcakes totally double as muffins if you leave out the maple cream cheese frosting – although, who would wanna leave it out? Not me. What makes my pumpkin cupcakes recipe stand out from the rest is how incredibly moist each cupcake really is. Not to toot my own horn or anything....
When I found fresh bunches of asparagus in the local market, I bought a bunch back home. I had no idea how to choose the vegetable and asked for help from one of the other shopper. She mentioned that the top leafy part should appear or the spear should appear firm and closed tightly. Also the stalk should be rigid and bright green. The size does not really matter, so I chose medium sized stalks....
Are you a fan of hearty pancakes, burritos, tacos, or taquitos? If yes, you might also love these savory crepes! My meatless wraps are the perfect snack or side dish for brunch, lunch, and dinner. These crunchy rolls are enjoyed by vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. Simple Ingredients All you need is a couple of pantry ingredients that you maybe already have at home. There are 12 ingredients in total, including the spices....
When my mother visited this summer, I had a lot of opportunities to learn several simple dishes that were classic and traditional. The semiya bagalabath or vermicelli bagalabath was such a pleasant change from the routine curd rice. I am not in any way saying this could take away the thayir saadham / curd rice’s place from my family. That always holds a special spot, but when making semiya upma, this is a wonderful thing to make along with it....
Summering it up with this sesame ginger salmon salad! This grilled salmon salad is unlike any you’ve had before! A smoky salmon filet flaked and served on top of a bed of grilled romaine with sweet and tangy sesame ginger dressing, crispy and cool cucumbers, crunchy almonds, and toasted sesame seeds. It’s a light summer salad that’s protein-packed with salmon and almonds. The inspiration comes from a salad I’ve had tons of over the years....
published Jul 30, 2020, updated Jul 05, 2024 I have to say, I think that we’re a little lacking in the condiments department in North America, and I find myself really drawn to the spicier sauces from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Curry paste, harissa, peri peri sauce — I love them all! And today I’m sharing one of my favorites to make at home. This shatta recipe is spicy, refreshing, and simple....
