Updated November 17, 2019 Pumpkin Recipes I love baking with pumpkin and make quite a few decadent pumpkin recipes. For example, have you tried my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pumpkin Sheet Cake, or Pumpkin Bundt Cake? They are all SO good and worth every single bite, but I thought it was time I made a healthy pumpkin recipe. Let me introduce you to my Healthy Pumpkin Muffins. They are on the healthier side, but you will never know it because they are super delicious....

I was a bit nervous to make my own cheese as I’ve never done anything like it (even though the recipe could not be simpler). It also didn’t help that I half-read the recipe and landed up using a cup more milk than the specified amount (which was 3 cups). I was scared two tablespoons of lemon juice wouldn’t be enough to curlde the milk and with a slip of the hand added about five tablespoons instead of the intended three (can you tell that this wasn’t my finest moment, culinary wise?...

Ingredients This is, in my opinion, the very best Caesar salad recipe. The homemade dressing and croutons are the stars of the show with the lettuce really just being the vehicle to carry all that flavor. A generous shower of Parmesan right before serving is advised because let’s face it, who doesn’t love a mountain of Parm on their salad? For the Caesar salad dressing Making your own dressing is so simple (as can be seen in the video) and requires just a bowl and a whisk....

Listen, I know chicken nuggets are traditionally known to be kids’ food. THESE nuggets though? Of course kids will love them but when I made these for the first time, they disappeared incredibly quickly and there was not a child in sight. And I mean, what’s not to love? Juicy nuggets of crispy, golden chicken? Uh, yes please! These nuggets are great served simply with ketchup but they’re even better when you add honey mustard sauce to dip as you go....

Are you ready to have your socks knocked off? I tell you no lie when I say this is the most beloved and most filling vegan lasagna on the internet. The search stops here, my friends!

Like chickpeas, I use dry kidney beans a few times every month, and pressure cooking has become second nature to me now. So, I decided to share my tips to make cooking beans easier. Once you understand the cooking process for dry beans, there are a lot of instant pot recipes at your disposal! I agree to be sent email. Instant pot beans have become a staple in my kitchen because I can use these cooked kidney beans in my rajma masala, rajma pulao, and many Indian rajma recipes....

I love the fact that this is one dish that combines the goodness of several vegetables. There just aren’t very many dishes that do that. The masala base with coconuts helps in bringing all the flavors together in every bite. I agree to be sent email. “Aviyal” is one of the popular south Indian delicacies and it is prepared in a couple of different ways. One version with curd/buttermilk and the other without curd....

I saw a clip of Jamie Oliver cooking his “Sticky-Kicking chicken” online a week ago and just loved the teqnique he used for getting maximum flavour out of a humble little chicken thigh. Jamie rubs the thighs with Chinese 5-spice and then fries it in a hot pan until cooked and finally adds some sweet chilli sauce to the pan to create a delicious, sticky chicken. I loved this idea and decided to make it for dinner a few nights ago....

A whole roasted chicken takes some effort to make. One wrong move, and parts of it could turn out dry. Plus, since the weather is getting warmer every day, I’m less enthusiastic about running my oven all the time. That’s why I love this Instant Pot whole chicken, because it gets the meat so incredibly juicy. Bite for bite, it will make a perfect hearty meal to bring you great comfort....

Published on June 14, 2020 Italian Dressing has always been one of my favorite salad dressings because it is light, zesty, and herbaceous! It is great on green salads, pasta salads, tortellini salads, and can even be used as a marinade for chicken, beef, and vegetables. Of course, you can buy Italian dressing at the store, there are a million brands, BUT homemade salad dressing is SO much better and it only takes a few minutes to make!...

This vegetable quiche recipe shines above the rest because it’s so forging and fuss-free! The savory flavors deliver time and time again.

Updated March 26, 2019 I am not pregnant anymore, but my melon craving hasn’t calmed down. I am still obsessed! I love eating it plain, but I also love it in this Melon Arugula Salad with Honey Lime Dressing. I don’t mess around either, I use three kinds of melon: watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe. If you are a melon fan, you have to make this salad. We haven’t done much cooking since we had our baby, but I did make this salad for lunch yesterday because I was craving a fresh and healthy salad!...

Wouldya look at these cuties? Simply bursting with chocolate heaven and minty freshness. Such a divine combination, truly. This recipe stemmed from my matcha cookie bites. The cool thing about these gems is that you can swap the nut butters and extracts to make whatever flavor profile your little heart desires! Ditch the cashew butter for peanut and the peppermint extract for vanilla and BOOM, buckeye balls. Magic! Ingredient tips and substitutions Almond flour: Ideal for sweet flavor and moist texture....

Updated March 26, 2019 Josh loves mustard. He’s kind of obsessed. Every time he orders a sandwich from a restaurant he asks for extra mustard. When he gets his sandwich, he is usually disappointed with the amount so he will go back and ask for more. He likes A LOT! I always make sure he has napkins close by when he is eating his mustard heavy sandwiches because I am not going to try and get mustard stains out of his shirts and pants:) When I saw my friend Heather’s recipe for Mustard-Crusted Potatoes in her new cookbook, Pure Delicious, I knew I had to make them for Josh, the mustard maniac:)...

I have always loved glazed carrots. When I was 12/13, I asked my mom if I could cook us dinner and she gladly agreed. I decided that glazed carrots would have to be on the menu because not only are they ridiculously easy to make, but they are just always a crowd pleaser. I’ve come a long way since those glazed carrots cooked until they were mushy and overly sweet....

The sauce complimented the fish beautifully and added just enough flavour without overpowering the delicate hake. I added a few capers to add a sharp, delicious zing and served the fish with steamed asparagus and fresh bread. This meal ticks all the boxes for a weeknight meal for me. Quick, delicious and satisfying!

Updated March 26, 2019 My peanut butter obsession is STRONG right now. I have been stirring peanut butter into my oatmeal, slathering it on my toast, and eating it by the spoonful from the jar. Yep, I am classy like that. I also made the ultimate peanut butter summer dessert, Peanut Butter Pretzel Ice Cream Pie. If you are a peanut butter lover, you might need to sit down to read this post, this recipe is going to blow your mind!...
