A Few Notes These are definitely best still warm but I’ve kept them for a day and they were still great. Just make sure you store in a dry area. I made these two ways, dredged in cinnamon sugar and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon won by a nose but it’s basically a tossup. Lots on Instagram followers DMed me variations for various glazes that they dipped their cookies in and all sounded delicious with lemon being perhaps the most popular....
Being a mother of two young boys, I am under constant demand for snacks. Snack is a word that scares me and especially with the winter break coming soon, this will be the word I will be constantly hearing. This Savory Kordois, an Assamese Star Fruit Shaped Snack, is nothing like any routine snack that I usually make. It is close to being called Pakora, but is crispier than Pakoras....

One of my best friends back from NY always had us over for the Eid celebrations....

As some of you know, I just returned from Italy 2 days ago and this recipe, along with Sicilian sun-dried tomatoes in a small tupperware container, was one of the things I brought home with me.

published Jan 31, 2024 The teriyaki chicken we know today was first whisked together by Japanese immigrants in the state of Hawaii. The flavors are heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine and immensely popular throughout America. It’s easy to understand why! Salt and sugar — two of the flavors our taste buds love most — from the mirin, sake, and soy sauce meld into a beautifully savory, viscous teriyaki. My teriyaki chicken recipe conveniently requires just a handful of ingredients and 20 minutes to cook — no marinading required!...
Serve this delicious chicken with rice and authentic Thai Papaya Salad! I believe that buying a whole chicken is the most economical way to feed a family. Better yet cooking your chicken whole is the easiest way! Very little prep, very little hands on time. There is something special about sitting down to eat with a crispy skinned chicken crowning the dinner table. Then there are leftovers that could be made into salads, sandwiches, wraps, quesadillas....
The tomato season is coming to an end soon and after freezing a few batches of tomatoes, I decided to make this delicious pickle with what was leftover from that batch. I used all kind of tomatoes mixed and matched for this tomato thokku recipe. We plant several varieties of tomato every summer.

It’s that time again! When we make quick, delicious, easy, and healthy midweek dinners. Summery, simple to make dinners are kinda my jam right now!

Casseroles, stuffed peppers, salads, chilis … you name it!...
If you are a lentil fan, give our Roasted Butternut Squash and Spiced Lentils, Feta and Pine Nuts a try! Amazing flavours! We are probably not the only ones who started the month of January with a renewed commitment to a healthier and more active lifestyle. So we dutifully finished off all the remaining sweets and fatty snacks and started anew. It hasn’t been always easy. I can do without sweets but I am a carb addict....
Until about a year or so ago, I have never cooked with black-eyed beans much. Lately, I have been making so many different dishes with it and it has become one of our favorite beans. Why choose black-eyed peas? A few things that I really like about it when compared to other beans like chickpeas or rajma is that the black-eyed pea cooks really quickly. It does not need a lot of soaking time and I can plan a recipe with it at the last minute and still cook it....
Soft Vegan Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles Last week, I posted my recipe for star-shaped vegan cinnamon cookies (called Zimtsterne); this week, I thought I’d go for something similar, but a little more well-known in the US, with these simple vegan snickerdoodles. With the holidays around the corner, it’s just the time to enjoy all-things cinnamon. Not that I need an excuse to enjoy any type of vegan cinnamon cookies, or any cookies (by the handful!...
For the second day of tortilla dishes, I decided on the chimichangas. This is one of the dishes that we as vegetarians never got a chance yet to eat outside. Chimichanga is a popular Mexican dish that is believed to have originated in the Sonoran state of Mexico. Chimichangas are usually made by filling a tortilla with the desired ingredients. Deep fry, pan fry, or air fry? Not being a big fan of deep frying and definitely not daring to fry the fully loaded burrito, I decided to pan-fry them....
