published Aug 23, 2023 Pork tonkatsu, also called pork katsu or simply tonkatsu, is one of those recipes that delivers an insane amount of flavor with very little effort. In fact, this entire meal can be made in just under 20 minutes. Who knew Japanese cooking could be so easy!? A light batter and panko breadcrumbs give the pork an intoxicating crunchiness while keeping the meat inside succulent and moist....

Happy Friday guys! I’m bringing you one of my all time favorite meals today. It’s quick + easy + delicious + has minimum prep work! I love meals like that don’t you? I’ve been on a major Thai food binge lately. Like to the point where i’m starting to feel bad for the hubby because he’s putting up with it without saying a word. I made a Thai salad with peanut dressing the other day, threw in some basil, chicken, and quinoa for good measure and called it a meal....

Why You’ll Love This flourless Bread I’ve already shared a recipe for high-protein bread with lentils, oat flour, and chickpea flour. However, a few people reached out on social media to ask for a completely flourless version. Well, ask, and ye shall receive with this super simple lentil bread recipe! After several batches to get it right, these wholesome lentil rolls are slightly crusty outside with a surprisingly soft middle....
My older son loves the store bought Rice krispies bar. I would be fine to give it to him occasionally as a snack except for the reason that it is made with marshmallow that in turn contains gelatin. Few years ago when I had no idea that gelatin was made with animal bones; my family was consuming several products that contained gelatin. Now that we know what they are actually made of, we are slowly trying to use alternates....
published Dec 29, 2020, updated Nov 01, 2024 Candy isn’t as difficult to make at home as it seems, and this pistachio brittle is too good to pass up! With honey, corn syrup, and sugar in the mix, this iconic Persian candy is rather sweet. It features two beloved Persian ingredients — saffron and pistachios — that give the sweet a nutty and floral taste that’s beyond delicious. I think it’s perfect to serve with a floral tea or cup of coffee....
Cozy, warm, and so delicious! Tender Salisbury steak meatballs that have been seared until golden brown, rolling around in a hearty caramelized onion and mushroom gravy. They’re warm and cozy and perfect for this time of the year when you’re looking for comfort food to warm you through and through.

My husband said he could guzzle the sauce with a spoon and insisted that I didn’t waste even a drop of it....
Sheermal is one of the breads that was on my bookmarked list for a long time. We used to bake different breads each month with a group called ‘We Knead to Bake’ and this bread was one of the breads we baked in the group. I had missed baking with the group that particular month but had it bookmarked ever since then. Sheermal is a saffron-flavored flatbread that is believed to have been passed on to India from the Persian culture....
Ever heard of a shrimp burger? Okay, so neither had I. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make it a thing. It’s kinda like a shrimp cake but it’s kinda not. When I think of a shrimp cake I think of a dainty, miniature patty that’s light and airy not hearty in the least bit. And this isn’t that. It’s a full-on, protein-packed meal so I’m doing it; I’m calling it a shrimp burger....

If you are a sourdough fan, it is only natural to extend the bread baking into pizza making! When my kids were little I once foolishly promised that every Friday night will be pizza night.

My recipe for this black eyed peas curry is super special because it has a decadent and velvety texture that comes from a combination of adding full-fat coconut milk and cooking down eggplant and garlic until they just melt into the stew to add body and flavor. To make sure that the recipe isn’t too heavy, it is topped with lime zest which adds the perfect amount of acidity to the dish without overpowering it!...
While the list of ingredients may seem long, this cake is also very easy to throw together. The batter itself doesn’t even require a mixer!

If you like this easy pasta recipe, you will also enjoy my Pesto Pasta with Grilled Chicken. My son is a huge fan of spinach ricotta tortellini. So whenever I am short on time to cook dinner, I often pick up a package. This recipe for spinach ricotta pasta with lemon butter chicken came out of that deep love of his. I wanted to create a homemade recipe that is easy and equally delicious because let’s face it, I am not making homemade tortellini on a regular basis!...
An easy homemade tart crust is baked until crisp and golden brown, then all you have to do is whip together cream cheese with fresh lemon and vanilla, spread it inside the tart shell, and top with sliced sweet strawberries.
