Healthy 10-Minute Vegan Cookie Dough With Chickpeas I feel like we’ve all snuck raw cookie dough directly from the bowl at some point in our lives. Even knowing that raw eggs run the risk of salmonella (and raw flour isn’t much better, either!), the risk is easy to ‘forget’ when you’re standing over the cookie dough. Luckily, this foolproof vegan cookie dough is not only 100% egg-free (so eat it to your heart’s content) and flour-free, but it’s also a healthy chickpea cookie dough!...

Or for a walk on the mild side, Italian sausage pasta with mushrooms is comfortingly creamy and without a tomato or chili in sight. Chili crisp pasta Can’t quite get your head around chili crisp? Let alone chili crisp pasta? Let me break it down for you. Chinese cuisine is a treasure trove of weird and wonderful condiments, and the brand Loa Gan Ma offers up this tabletop wonder pot of Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies in oil....

These days it is so hard to find some really good place to eat this Chilli Parotta. the flavors are just not the same as they used to be. My husband really misses the good old Kothu Parotta. This week I am redoing a few of my old posts that need new pictures. One such recipe is this Kothu Parotta / Chilli Parotta which is a very popular street food as well as one of my husband’s favorite when we eat out....

For another holiday chocolate dessert, take a look at my Chocolate Truffle Cake. Everyone has their special childhood memories of Christmas. For some it’s all about presents, for others the memories are firmly attached to Christmas pudding. But for me Christmas time is synonymous with a good quality assorted chocolate box. That is why I created this chocolate tart. It’s inspired by one of my favourite treats. A mix of chocolate and hazelnut with just a whisper of orange....

published Jan 26, 2024 This one is for chocolate lovers everywhere! It’s surprisingly easy to make — the key is timing and a little patience. Pots de creme hail from 17th century France and are a dessert that transcends time and distance. It’s found itself on tables in Europe and America for hundreds of years with only minor changes to the recipe. The original pots de creme recipe was served in a delicate crust as a small custard pie....

How to make Chocolate Raspberry Cake Whats the best kind of frosting to use? I love an American buttercream, like you’ll find in this recipe, with chocolate cake. American buttercream can be sweet but all the cocoa powder and a nice dash of salt really help balance things out. If you want a less sweet variation try using Swiss Meringue buttercream and mix in as much melted and cooled chocolate as you’d like....

Creamed corn is an American staple.

This is what motivated me to make a homemade version of this childhood favorite. Let’s fall in love with creamed corn all over again!

CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH. All of the things I love about spring – in one bowl! With those pretty strawberry hearts all loaded up, you could eat this salad from Valentine’s Day well into the summer. Persian cucumbers add a nice clean flavor and lots of crunch. I love all the freshness from the ingredients and that fried goat cheese on top! We’ll start by dredging it in flour, a beaten egg, and panko then just pan fry until golden....

It’s the same technique I used for my Robin’s Egg Cake and I love it! I used Hershey’s eggs for this cookie because I loved the pastel colors! When you toast the coconut make sure to take the pan out and mix all the flakes up then put back into the oven to finish. This will avoid black coconut on the edge of the pan and white in the middle....

A comforting vegetable stew is all I need on a cool winter day (despite that it never gets cold where I live, haha). But it can also get pretty “chilly” in the tropics (sometimes as low as 70 degrees Fahrenheit). I know this isn’t cold at all for most of you, however, if you are freezing right now, then make a bowl of this simple vegetable soup. 😀 Vegetable Stew Or Soup?...

This post has been 10+ years in the making, would you believe that? It’s a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I started making back when I was in college. And over the years, I’ve been tweaking and editing it to perfect my idea of the best chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. It needed to be sweet, but not overly sweet, like an adult chocolate chip cookie where it’s multidimensional with notes of butterscotch and a bit of flaked sea salt to tone down the sweetness....

This week is super exciting as I got to work with three ingredients that were mailed to me by Varada; a fellow blogger who blogs at Varada’s kitchen. A group of participating members was paired together for ingredient swap as a theme for Blogging Marathon. I have mailed three different ingredients and she had mailed me three. The first ones I worked with are these French green lentils. I have never heard of or seen this lentil before and this was the only ingredient among the three that she had sent, so I decided to tackle that first....

Anyone else feeling the Monday blues today? I’ve got to admit, Mondays are the hardest days for me to cook. I’m just unwinding from the crazy weekend schedule. Our refrigerator usually only consists of the very basic staples at that point. You know, eggs, milk, a hunk of bread, that sort of thing. I’ll be the first one to tell you I don’t have my life together enough to shop on Saturdays or even Sundays....

It goes with everything, or you can simply eat it on its own! Since its made in one skillet, clean up is a breeze. Even better, that lemony garlic sauce that coats the shrimp is plentiful at the bottom of the pan....

Coming to week of blogging marathon, I am going to be making evening snacks for the next three days. This Goli Bajje recipe was suggested by Priya Suresh for South North Challenge.

This Mangalore Bajji recipe is so easy to make and is a perfect snack for the cold evenings....
