Beef and noodles is a fixture in my home state of Kansas and throughout the Midwest. It’s similar to the beef stroganoff I remember my Grandma Dorothy making on Sundays (the one that inspired my lighter Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff and its first cousin, Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff), but there are a few differences between the two. For today’s Instant Pot beef and noodles, I kept to the recipe’s intention—to be a cozy, affordable dish sure to warm you to the bone on a chilly evening—then, I made a few better-for-you swaps to lighten it up....

Italian Almond Cookies If there’s one word that captures these cookies, it’s rustic. And in my world, what that means is don’t get hung up about making them look perfect. These nubbly little balls will be a bit wonky. Some will be larger than others. There will be almond bits sticking out here and there, you might end up with some bald patches. Some bits might have a double layer of almonds....

Kimchi Fried Rice Kimchi Fried Rice is as common in Korea as Chinese fried rice is in China. Every household makes it, and it’s a thrifty comfort dish that makes use of leftover cooked rice and kimchi from the fridge. Extra ingredients on hand are often added to keep things interesting. This fiery-red Korean rice dish is more bark than bite! While it is full-flavoured, it is not nearly as blow-your-head-off-spicy as one might expect....

Sweet potatoes are my favorite Thanksgiving side. Fact. I’d even pick Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole or Glazed Sweet Potatoes over these perfect parmesan Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes. That said, I also feel a holiday meal doesn’t feel complete without some version of mashed potatoes involved. My family’s solution is to serve sweet potatoes AND Crockpot Mashed Potatoes (we really never can get enough starch).If you are cooking for a smaller group or want to leave room for other sides (e....

And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Palathalikalu As I had many requests for the traditional palathalikalu recipe I am sharing my Mum’s recipe. I adapted the quick way of making the thalikalu in the murukku maker as the hand made ones take lot of time. Traditionally palathalikalu are made with homemade rice flour but I have used store bought flour since I did not make it for the Naivedyam. If you plan to offer this as naivedyam during the vinayaka chavithi puja, then make fresh rice flour at home....

A one-bowl, easy banana bread recipe with coconut flour, almond butter, and maple syrup, this moist, tender loaf is ideal if you are looking to eat well, without a life devoid of yummy baked treats, tasty breakfasts, and satisfying snacks. (Ahem, moi!) Yes, this banana bread is Paleo (meaning it is grain free, gluten free, dairy free, and does not contain refined sugars), BUT you certainly do not need to be following a Paleo diet to enjoy it....

This chicken drumsticks recipe is quite amazing. There is no baking required here. This is very helpful as you don’t need to waste time preheating oven. I find that in most cases for best results you need to pan-sear meat on the stove and finish baking in the oven. This way the meat won’t dry out on the inside from unidirectional heat of a pan. But that’s not necessarily the case with chicken wings and chicken drumsticks....

This month, I’m sharing a new, delicious, and nutritious smoothie recipe every week (don’t miss the fab Green Smoothie or Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie that kicked us off!) because they’re such an easy, fuss-free, and yummy way to sneak more servings of fruit and veggies into your day. And “easy” is the most alluring quality whenever we’re seeking to add a few healthier habits into our lifestyle. Many types of fruits are good in smoothies – strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and bananas are popular and easy to find....

These pecan pie bars melt in your mouth. Every time I took a bite, I couldn’t believe a dessert this seemingly rich and thick could dissolve on my tongue as if by magic. The buttery shortbread crust is tender but sturdy enough to pick up with your fingers. It tastes like a cross between my Darn Good Whole Wheat Pie Crust and the most excellent shortbread cookie.The filling is lush with maple and brown sugar and positively chock-a-bloc with deeply toasty, crunchy pecans....

The first time someone passed me pineapple casserole was the first holiday I spent with my in-laws. I was horrified. Cheese and warm PINEAPPLE?! What was this abomination? Already feeling homesick for our family’s traditional holiday recipes, like Glazed Sweet Potatoes and Crockpot Mashed Potatoes, I was now going to have to pretend to like this absurd dish. I took a tiny, toddler-sized bite, and…oh my heavens, pineapple casserole is wonderful....
