I am so happy to begin my April Mega Blogging Marathon, where we will be blogging non-stop for the whole month. We do this as a group twice a year and each time we have a varied and challenging theme to work with. I am a big fan of A-Z themes and even if it is not given as mandatory, I end up doing it. I did the same again this month and I will be doing A-Z scattered across 4 different themes....
published Nov 19, 2021, updated Apr 15, 2024 An inexpensive, flavor-packed meal made with pantry-friendly ingredients and in just 20 minutes? It doesn’t get much better than that! Jeyuk bokkeum, which is Korean for pork stir fry, is all of that and more. It’s a spicy dish that gets its heat from gochujang, sweetness from plum jam, and some much-needed tanginess from a bit of rice wine vinegar. It’s a little unusual, but I add dry roasted peanuts for a little saltiness and a lot of crunch!...
A Sweet, Creamy, Moreish Summer Dessert If you’ve ever had rice pudding, then you’ll know that rice can definitely be a dessert ingredient. However, Thai sticky rice takes dessert to a whole new level. Combined with a sweet coconut milk sauce and fresh mango, this mango sticky rice recipe is moreish and will have you coming back for more. I have an admission to make- when I first started making this dish at home, I may or may not have boiled the rice, rather than steamed – gasp!...
For another Canadian Christmas classic, take a look at our Nanaimo Bars. What is your favourite holiday treat and do you stay faithful to it every year? For me it’s Rugelach or as we call them in Russia Rogalik. For the rest of my family it is definitely Butter Tarts. These treats are as Canadian as can be. Although commonly made with corn syrup I have upped the Canadian and yum factor I swapped it for a true Canadian hero, maple syrup....

I love Poricha kuzhambu and the most frequent vegetable that I use is podalangai (snake gourd). Recently after marriage, I made a recipe notebook in which I wrote all the recipes given by my mother. They are written so beautifully by me and I can’t believe I had that kind of handwriting back in my early (read very early) the twenties. Now when I write recipes, I make sure to re-read them right away as there are instances when I come back to it in a few days and can’t understand what I wrote....
Parathas or flatbread mixed in with vegetables are very popular in my house. Any mom with growing kids would agree that adding vegetables in the roti/paratha is a great way to add more vegetables to kid’s diets. In my case, I have never needed to use recipes like this to hide the vegetables but rather make them often as they love radishes. They would beg me to make this radish vatha kuzhambu almost every week....
Sour cream coffee cake aka my coffees BFFL. I made a large pan of homemade sour cream coffee cake the other day because I was itching to bake something and because my coffee was lonely in the morning. It’s the perfect spring weekend baking project but also doubles as a great addition to the Easter or Mother’s Day brunch table. The second batch of this sour cream coffee cake went right to work with hubby because otherwise, it was doomed to end up going straight to my thighs....

Do make these glazed cuties and be happy with your sassy little self. There’s so much to love: the citrusy-ness of the orange, sweet floral notes of honey, and soy. And have you noticed how adorable those little green balls are? They’re totally a 13 on a scale from 1 – 10. I’ve made these soy glazed brussel sprouts a few times over the course of the week. And I kid you not....
Moving is a task and asks that to someone who has moved 3 times in the last year and a half. We are finally done and moved into the house of our dreams. Now comes the hard job of settling down which is taking much longer than anticipated. I would blame that on the kid’s vacation and heat. Last week (it has to be the week we moved), the heat index here was about 110 F and it was impossible to do any work outside the house....
Not feeling the joys of Spring but need a quick pasta fix? Earthy and comforting mushroom pasta can come together in the same time with just as reliably available ingredients. Pasta with peas and bacon There are so many reasons why I LOVE this pasta and peas recipe, besides it being super tasty.

Homemade Pav buns/dinner rolls with some steaming hot bhaaji are the best things that could happen. I have been making dinner rolls before and they come out quite well, but this is the best one I have made in a while.

When I saw this recipe on Gayathri’s space using the Tangzhong method, I wanted to make the pav buns right away....
