We are all doing well and are smitten by our little baby boy. Market Fresh Corn Chowder Utah’s farmer’s markets are still going strong. We went to the market over the weekend and picked up a bunch of fresh produce to make a few meals....
Updated October 06, 2020 This post is sponsored by Kroger. Cranberry Season I love cranberry season because that means I get to make fresh cranberry sauce for the holidays, but I don’t stop there. Cranberries can be used for lots of delicious recipes, like this cranberry bread. It is one of my favorite holiday recipes and I think you will love it too. As soon as I see fresh cranberries at Smith’s, I stock up....
What do you get when you blend ripe avocado with sour cream/yoghurt, fragrant herbs, garlic and lots of lemon juice? Pretty much just the most delicious thing ever, is the answer. If you’re a fan of guacamole (and if you’re not, who are you even?!) you will love this dressing. It’s just so creamy and luscious and flavourful. Everything I want food to be. I also really love its versatility....
Updated June 15, 2020 There is nothing better than fresh garden tomatoes and basil, especially when you put them together. They are a match made in heaven. Our garden is producing tomatoes and basil like crazy so I am I trying to use them in every way I can. My new favorite way to enjoy our garden tomatoes and basil is in this Creamy Basil Polenta with Roasted Tomatoes recipe....

Updated March 26, 2019 After I graduated college, I traveled to Italy with my brother and his best friend. I fell in love with the country…and gnocchi. Gnocchi is now one of my all-time favorite meals. We like to make homemade gnocchi at home, but sometimes there just isn’t enough time to make gnocchi from scratch. On busy nights, we like to make Crispy Gnocchi with Pesto, which is a quick and easy meal that still gives me my gnocchi fix....
Ingredients Chicken thighs. I used bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Substitute with any chicken of your choice. Chicken breasts won’t need to bake for as long. Dijon mustard. Smooth mustard works better as glue for the breadcrumbs to stick to than grainy mustard would. Panko. Any breadcrumbs can be used but panko always delivers the crispiest result. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if required. Fresh thyme. Fresh rosemary, parsley, oregano, etc. will also work....
If you are familiar with the original Dum Aloo recipe, you will quickly notice that this is a healthier version. I agree to be sent email. The original Punjabi dum aloo recipe and the Kashmiri dum aloo recipes call for deep-fried baby potatoes and also require dairy ingredients such as yogurt and cream. I am sharing an easy-to-prepare, dairy-free dish that is as relishing as the original dum aloo recipe....
Finding healthy, easy and satisfying breakfasts are always a mission for me. I am a big fan of eggs for breakfast but I get tired of it and so I often look for other ideas, but the other ideas aren’t exactly healthy. Pancakes, French Toast, waffles, Eggs Benedict…Not really ideal. So when I stumbled upon this easy healthy banana oat pancakes recipe, I was incredibly chuffed. They take minutes to knock together and they’re actually delicious....
Ingredients needed I used a simple butter chicken recipe for the filling but you can absolutely use my Instant Pot butter chicken recipe too. That way you can prepare the curry ahead which will make dinner time a breeze. Butter. Chicken. I used boneless chicken thighs but chicken breasts can also be used. Greek yogurt. Spices: I like using a combination of Garam Masala, ground cardamom, turmeric, ground coriander, paprika and ground ginger but a good Butter Chicken spice mix will also work well....
This is an absolute fail-safe staple in my cooking repertoire and the best mushroom pasta recipe, ever! It’s the kind of recipe I know my family will love and will eat happily PLUS it takes almost zero effort from me. Something that is coming in very handy as we are heading into our busy season. It’s also great that this mushroom pasta requires only a handful of ingredients, most of which I always have in my pantry/fridge anyway....

This cucumber salad is one of the recipes that remind me the most of my mom. My mom’s easy cucumber salad recipe wasn’t as chunky as my version. She grated the cucumber and onion which made the perfect accompaniment to many meals but I prefer a little more texture in my salads. The flavors are exactly the same though and I can honestly say there aren’t many salads that are as quick and easy to whip up while delivering such a flavor punch....
You guys! It’s Simply Delicious’ 7th birthday today. Say whaaat?! 7 years ago today a whole new world opened up for me and I didn’t even know it. 7 years ago today I was a stay-at-home-mom, bored out of my mind, needing an outlet for my creativity. I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life and had no idea how to channel my passion for cooking and food into anything lucrative or rewarding....
Ingredients Like any traditional Italian lasagna, this eggplant lasagna recipe is made with a slow-cooked meat sauce. The bolognese has both beef and pork mince (ground pork/beef) which always results in the most delicious, meaty sauce. However you can use either if you don’t want to use both. Other protein options include veal, lamb and you can even make this with ground turkey if preferred. The béchamel sauce is another classic element of Italian lasagna....
Updated July 03, 2019 Stop what you are doing, grab your pile of zucchini, and make these Black Bean and Quinoa Enchilada Zucchini Boats. I made these zucchini boats for dinner last week and they were a home run. All of my boys devoured the boats. Josh loves enchiladas, so I knew he would love them, but I was a little worried about the younger boys. You never know what they will eat....
It’s 70 degrees one time and I’m making thirty seven smoothies…oh no, not me at all! But seriously, my smoothie love runs deep. After opening our first smoothie shop (hi, Alchemy) in 2014 and the next in 2018, I consider myself somewhat of a smoothie pro. And while I adore my Chocolate Peanut Butter Zucchini Banana Smoothie and Chocolate Blueberry Smoothie, is there any better combo in the history of mankind than chocolate and peanut butter?...
I love when I can take something Western and meld it with something Eastern. I love American desserts but sometimes think they’re kinda heavy or too sweet for my taste. On the other hand, Asian desserts can be a bit too healthy when it comes to holidays and festive occasions. I think combining the best of both worlds truly makes for the tastiest creations. That’s why we made this fluffy monkey bread with jujube syrup....
