I’m a big fan of one pot chicken and rice recipes like Baked Rotisserie Chicken with Garlic Butter Rice, Chinese Chicken and Rice, Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice and Mexican Chicken Rice. Big flavours, two dishes made in ONE pot! Oven Baked Chicken with Cranberry, Walnut and Apple Rice Pilaf. That’s somewhat of a mouthful of a recipe name, isn’t it??!! Oh wait – “mouthful”. Head smack Talk about a bad joke....

If I ignored the dishes, I’d feel a little like I had a personal breakfast chef. I discovered this method for cooking steel-cut oats in the crock pot the year a series of unfortunate events left us without a stove for almost three months. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to say that without a proper cooktop or oven, I embraced my slow cooker with a passion I didn’t realize I could muster for an appliance....

Hence my surprise when an old roommate (who in our past life could barely microwave her way out of a popcorn bag) invited me over for dinner and served pan fried salmon. I lifted my fork, steadied my face to disguise any negative reaction, took a bite, and oh my goodness what is this delicious fish? As with many dishes that intimated me in the past—namely anything stuffed (Stuffed Salmon, Stuffed Chicken Breast, Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, Stuffed Pork Chops), grilled (Grilled Salmon in Foil), or involving proteins I thought were fancy (Red Wine Braised Short Ribs)—pan seared salmon is shockingly straightforward to make and the results are superb....

FavoritePinShare I love pancakes but really stink at making them! I either burn the outside, they are too thick, or they just look plain funny! I envy perfect pancake makers. I never make them but I love them. I found this recipe and I instantly fell in love. I was in search of a breakfast for the picky 5 year old’s birthday. The best part is that I had all of the ingredients and they were almost too easy!...

While you can find the semi dry version most commonly served in restaurants, there are also the dry and gravy variations. Dry & semi-dry Paneer Manchurian can be eaten straight as an appetizer and you just don’t need any side. The semi-dry version is good to serve with Hakka noodles, Vegetable noodles, and flat bread or simply eat as a side in any meal. The gravy version has plenty of thick sauce, it is mostly eaten with Fried rice though you can serve it with plain basmati rice....

Crostini is one of the most straightforward, yet brilliant appetizer concepts (as Whipped Feta Crostini already knows). It’s a radically simple idea—small slices of toasted bread heaped with yummy toppings.It’s an appetizer that’s somehow equally appropriate for a bare feet, backyard affair as it is for a black-tie bash. It’s universally appealing—carbs + tasty toppings = food love for all (basically a cold, miniature variation of Ricotta Pizza). AND it’s endlessly adaptable....

Made with whey protein and covered in promises to be low carb, high fiber, and delicious, these protein cookies sounded too good to be true. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that not only did most of these protein cookies contain nearly as many calories as a full meal (well beyond my needs for a cookie), they cost almost $3 each and the ingredient list left quite a bit to be desired....

Both the recipes turn out simply delicious, rich and come close to the traditional doodh peda that literally melts in your mouth with a great aroma. About Peda Peda is a delicious Indian sweet made with full fat milk and sugar. This fudge like sweet is delicately flavored with cardamom powder or saffron. Peda originated in Mathura, a sacred city from the North Indian state Uttar Pradesh. Mathura is the birth place of Lord Shri Khrishna and pedas are offered as Prasad in The Krishna Janmasthan Temple....

Let me share something very special to me today, a traditional Russian pelmeni recipe. This recipe has been in my family for generations. With a few tips along you can make pelmeni that are very flavorful and explode with tasty juices as you bite into them. That’s how they are supposed to be: plump, meaty, flavorful and filled with tender and juicy meat filling. Making pelmeni is a bit laborious, that’s why I haven’t been making them that often… rarely, actually....

FavoritePinShare Peppermint Meringue Kisses are crunchy on the outside with a soft and chewy middle, and a peppermint flavor that is sweet and refreshing. They are the cutest little candies and are perfect for gifting this holiday season! Every once in a while, it is really fun to make a unique candy that isn’t super chocolatey. Every Christmas I make the effort to get my kids in the kitchen and make a Christmas candy....

Pineapple Upside Down Cake “Everything is brown!“, I observed, looking at the latest dessert recipes I’ve shared. “Chocolate, caramel, fruit cake – brown, brown, brown. Give me some COLOUR!” And therein lies the exact reason I chose to share this cake today. A girl needs a splash of colour in her life every now and then, despite her commitment to all things chocolate. And this girl needs little encouragement to bring retro fun into her life!...

But those are way too thin to hold the cheese and the topping so I make them the way I have shown in this post. So how is this different? This is a Paratha recipe with stuffed pizza sauce & veggies, topped with cheese. This is on the heavier side and ideal to serve for a meal. Just like the way a pizza is served hot, this paratha too is best served hot....

If you want to impress the pants off your friends and family with a fancy but easy sounding salad, try this Pomegranate Molasses Dressing! Pomegranate Molasses is probably not the sort of condiment that most people have just lying around in the pantry, but once you pick up a bottle, you can rest assured it lasts for aaaaages. So there’s no hurry to use it. But really, once you discover it, you may just want to put it on everything!...

Can you believe it’s been 100 posts? I feel like I started this blog just yesterday! It has been such an amazing journey, with lots of delicious food, amazing blogger friends and a little sweat and tears. Most people have no idea how much hard work goes into a food blog. We food bloggers are food writers, photographers, recipe developers, social media managers, marketing executives, and the list goes on and on....

To make potato pancakes, shredded potatoes are mixed with flour and seasonings, bound together with an egg, shaped into patties, and then pan fried to perfection. Potato pancakes are versatile and make a tasty side with hearty soups and stews and meaty mains, or alongside a hot breakfast.Like homemade Tater Tots, potato pancakes provide a fun, individual potato serving.While this recipe is easy, if you are looking for more of a shortcut, Hash Brown Casserole utilizes pre-shredded, frozen hash browns, cooked in one go in a casserole dish....

This is a sister recipe of everybody’s favourite Bacon Wrapped Chicken – with the added bonus of a potato side dish! I didn’t realise until I wrote the recipe out that this is actually a one pan dish. It’s a “fancy enough for company” midweek meal I’ve been making for years. You know when you’ve made a recipe so many times it becomes second nature to you? I actually had to weigh and write the ingredients down properly when I made it to share the recipe with you!...

Friends, meet my favourite pumpkin soup recipe - my Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup. Or Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup, as it’s known to my American friends. This soup is creamy without any cream (magic). It’s filled with good-for-you ingredients. And thanks to the roasted vegetables, it’s full of flavour. Sure, one-pot recipes are nice and all, but taking the extra step to throw the veggies in the oven for 30 minutes before pulling this soup together gives it more depth and flavour....
