Grilled Vegetable Panini Grilling is one my favorite ways to prepare vegetables. Anything that adds flavor to vegetables I am all for. When vegetables are cooked on the grill they get a smokey caramelized flavor. They are tender but still have a slight crunch to them. No mushy vegetables here. Who needs meat when roasted vegetables are so good? I serve them as a side, on sandwiches or tossed in a salad....

When deciding the dishes for the alphabet for the month-long marathon. I somehow missed the alphabet H. I did later come up with a few recipes to make, but never got around to making it. This Honey Drizzled Semolina Cake was so simple to make with very minimal ingredients. I never thought that the Semolina (Rava) cake could be this soft and spongy. To add to that the honey syrup on top of the cake was truly amazing....
Making this instant apple pickle is as easy as chopping, adding, seasoning, and mixing. The green apple or the Granny Smith apple makes this pickle so crunchy and the heat from the pickle works great with the sour and tart flavor of the apple. I use apples as a substitute for raw mango, especially when making pickles. We all love the cut mango pickle and this instant apple pickle is a great alternative to that....

It’s thought that the king cake tradition started in France back in the Middle Ages and was originally named after the three kings of the Bible that visited the baby Jesus on the 12th night of Christmas, January 6th. The tradition was brought over to Louisiana’s French colony, leading to New Orleans bakeries selling them for Carnival season. If you need another recipe to celebrate Mardi Gras season then make these easy pancakes for Pancake Day!...
published Dec 17, 2020, updated Sep 09, 2024 A tagine is a North African cooking vessel used for slow cooking. When you see a recipe titled “tagine” then it is merely describing the method of cooking, not the flavors and seasonings used. For example, chicken tagine has a different flavor profile than my beef tagine — and both are different from this lamb tagine recipe. I also have a quick, vegetarian recipe on standby for anyone who’s interested!...
This basil arugula pasta salad has been through quite an evolution. It started as a simple arugula salad, with lemon dressing and a handful of parmesan cheese. But slowly, when I needed to turn it into something a little heartier and more filling, tons of additions were made to get it to where it’s at today. The pasta adds a nice chewy texture, the walnuts add crunch, and the parmesan gives it that nutty delicious taste....

Matar Ka Nimona is a flavorful curry made with fresh green peas and simple spices. Growing up in the state of Uttar Pradesh, green peas are a winter favorite vegetable that was found in abundance.

Growing up, I hated green peas and as far as I can remember, green peas are the only vegetable I disliked....
