For another speedy Italian pasta sauce, take a look at my Simple Pasta Cream Sauce. It looks as if I am on a mission to overwhelm you with pasta dishes. I know I have been sharing a lot of them lately but as I’ve mentioned numerous times my life is so busy right now with school, work and family that pastas have been my saving grace every night when dinner comes round....

Try serving this with fresh Tomato Salad with Herb Vinaigrette for a complete meal! After spending two weeks in Spain this August, you didn’t think I wouldn’t share at least one recipe inspired by that wonderful country’s flavours. These baked chicken thighs with potatoes and peppers come as a result of eating and enjoying too much Spanish paprika, gorging on fresh-from-the-market vegetables and generally loving the life. This recipe for baked chicken thighs with potatoes is very straightforward and uses everyday ingredients....
Love soup? Then you must try my Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup and Slow Cooker Turkey Chili!

I like you. And I think about you often. Like… every single day. I think about what kind of scones you might like. I think about what kind of cookies you’ll want to make this weekend. I think about vegetarian things for you…I think about gluten free ideas too. I think about butter and sugar and garlic. Not together though, of course. Because that would be weird. Today I thought about making you a little healthier....
Simple Strawberry Yogurt Parfait with Granola Any dish that can double up as both a dessert and breakfast is a win in my books- especially when fruit is involved.

Serve this delicious salad with 4 ingredient marinated chicken breasts or sticky Asian chicken for a glorious summer meal! It is not very often that Brad asks me to make a salad for dinner but he does in the summer all the time. And his favourite one is this tomato and cucumber salad. It’s not difficult to oblige because I love it as well. My affection for this salad goes way back as it is my mother’s recipe although so many of you would probably say, “Wait a minute, it is MY mother’s recipe”....
published Feb 22, 2023 It’s no secret how much I love whipping up Indian-inspired cuisine. Dishes like aloo masala (spicy potatoes), this turkey lentil soup, and these stuffed crepes called masala dosa are just a few of my favorites. If I had it my way, I would serve Indian food at least once a week! It’s hearty, filling, and perfectly comforting. And best of all, you don’t need to go to a restaurant to get it....
Love chocolate as much as I do? Then you’ve got to try my Easy Chocolate Cake recipe and my Brownie Cookies recipe! Turtle Brownies Recipe I didn’t think brownies could get any better until I drizzled them with caramel sauce and topped them with chopped pecans and chocolate chips. And you all know I love my brownies! I’ve made everything from Bite Size Brownies, to Copycat Cosmic Brownies to even Skillet Brownies for Two!...

Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, or with your own homemade fresh pasta, and lemon garlic green beans. What is veal piccata? Veal, a meat much-loved by Italians, is considered a delicacy. The calves, from which veal comes from, are raised on a purely milk-based diet, which is what makes the meat so soft on the tooth. Being favoured for its tender texture and milder-than-beef flavour, veal balances beautifully in a rich lemony butter sauce....
When I first created my easy 3-minute Vegan Cheese Sauce recipe back in 2015, it absolutely changed my life. No, seriously… It says so right there in the blog post! Since then, I’ve tried my hand at several vegan cheese recipes and a delicious hidden veggie-filled Mac n’ Cheese with great success. Now I want to share this recipe for vegan fondue with you! This dairy-free fondue recipe lies somewhere between my cheese sauce and Mac n’ Cheese sauce; it has the wonderfully gooey, cheesy texture of the former and the flavor-packing addition of hidden veg in the latter....

This Vendakkai Pachadi is a very simple recipe which is very close to my heart. I love this pachadi whenever my mother used to make it. This Air fried Okra Raita is so flavorful that you will keep coming back for more. The crunch of the fried okras makes all the difference. I have been pan-frying the thinly sliced okra until I started making it in the air fryer....
(We’ve been invited to visit by the Vienna tourism board, all opinions remain our own.) Vienna has long been on our list of cities to visit, both because of its historic significance and impressive sites. But what really pushed us to make a visit this year was the many good things we’ve heard about its Christmas Markets. I’ve long loved the idea of a Christmas market, but the ones we have around us are a bit too busy, and a bit too commercial, to really enjoy enough to justify the high prices....
Love easy weeknight recipes? Then try my Creamy Mushroom Carbonara and my Homemade Hamburger Helper! What Is Walnut Pesto Pasta? Let me start by saying that this is not your typical pesto pasta. To start with, it’s not green (although it’s still filled with an abundance of fresh pesto, arugula, and wilted spinach). Traditional pesto is typically made with fresh basil and pine-nuts. However nowadays you will see many variations of pesto....
Different variations of moong dal In general, most dals including moong dal come in variations such as whole vs. split and hulled vs. not hulled (meaning skin removed or on). For moong dal in particular, the main varieties are green whole moong dal , split moong dal (with skin on), and split moong dal (without skin) (this is most popular when making dal). Below, we will go over the different varieties in detail and explain how each one has a different purpose in Indian cooking....
This galette will be amazing accompanied by Pistachio Ice Cream! Like many great recipes, this one was created out of necessity. In my case, it was the need to use up a punnet of yellow plums that I had in the house a bit too long. They looked so beautiful and so appealing when I bought them. But after a few days in the fruit basket remained hard as a rock and quite sour....

Coconut + chocolate = yum yums. I am completely hung up on these coconut chocolate granola bars! The hubby and I may or may not have polished off 6 of these in the last 24 hours. By the time you actually read this, they may (read: will) all be gone. And for once, I don’t have to feel that guilty! I mean, what’s better than having something that’s actually healthy and that tastes like a almond joy candy bar?...
