So today, I’ve turned a summer favorite into a creamy Mexican corn dip in time for the last summer blow out of the year — Labor Day!...
If you like the look and sound of this pasta recipe, you will also love my Pasta with Smoked Salmon. A few years back when I decided to get my family eat more fish I started with salmon. Salmon with its delicate and mild tasting flesh is the easiest fish to fall in love with in my opinion. It doesn’t have that “fishy taste” some people dislike. The experiment was a great success and now my kids and husband can’t get enough of this rich in healthy fats and vitamins fish....
What a way to cool off! For as long as I can remember, sweet lassi has always been a staple in our household. Typically, I like to use an extra tangy yogurt, blend it together with lots of ice cubes, a generous pouring of sugar, and some milk to thin it out a smidge. Throw it all in a high-power blender until you’re left with something that’s a milky slushie-like consistency....

Ajwain Seeds and Alternatives The complex taste of papdi comes from a seed called ajwain seeds also known as carom seeds. They are a small, oval-shaped seed that has a distinctive medicinal smell. The seeds themselves taste earthy, nutty, and slightly bitter. A little bit of carom seeds go a long way. It is said that if you over indulge in too many ajwain seeds and you’ll be running to the loo as it is known to get things moving....
There is nothing, absolutely nothing like a big bowl of homemade crunchy granola cereal. I love stumbling upon jumbo clusters of granola on the rare occasion that they find their way into my store bought granola. It’s seriously as satisfying as finding a gem. Okay, maybe just slightly less. I’ve always been a big fan of making granola at home. Not only is it cheap, it’s easy (!), you can make as many big clusters as you want, and you control what goes in....

The cuisine of Jharkhand is quite special because they use very minimal amount of spices in their cooking. Rice is the staple and several dishes are prepared using rice as the main ingredient.

The mushrooms are abundant in the monsoon time which is then collected, dried and stored to use for the rest of the year....
This colorful Lebanese Fattoush salad is a staple for me whenever we go out for Mediterranean food! It’s a bright and refreshing garden salad with lots of texture and flavor from the veggies! I always order beef Kefta or Koobideh from the menu, and a bright, zesty salad is exactly what I need to cut through the richness of kebobs. But the true pièce de résistance in a Fattoush salad is the fried pocket pita bread that adds so much crunch!...

Candied Fennel or Saunf Mitai holds a special nostalgic place in my heart. These candies are handed out at the end of a meal at Indian restaurants just like refreshing and sweet peppermints at American restaurants. These candied fennel seeds are not only very festive in color but also add a depth of licorice-y flavor and undeniable crunch that you can’t achieve with just regular sugar sprinkles. Where to get Saunf Mitai Orange buttercream and fennel are a pair made in heaven To top it all off, I’ve included a rich honey orange buttercream which pairs perfectly with the cake, but honestly, you could eat the buttercream on its own....

This isn’t something I suggest making on a first or second date....
