Another round of the Malai Kofta! This time around I really wanted to perfect what I didn't the first time around; which is: I would like the gravy to be thicker and the kofta to be a little more soft and paneer-y. Heehee. Foreshadowing! Spoiler alert! I grabbed the paneer from the local indian food …
With Holi behind us I decided to try making Kachoris. Caution: I have never made them before but have seen them in the menus of many Indian restaurants. My husband is Indian and is my food tester/judge. Being Mexican - I feel as though our food cultures are very similar. Actually, I find myself cooking …

Saturdays are my cheat days. I simply cannot live without dishes like chloe, naan, pakoras, AND this craving I am going to share with you today: Pav Dabeli.

Yummmmm. Soya chunks. If you haven't had them they are a tofu like soy-based meaty-like food. At the time off cooking this recipe, I've had soya before in relatives dishes but never have I used it in my own cooking. I'm not really sure why either, I guess I always went with the classic chicken …

Particularly helpful and useful for when you want to display your desert. Since Tiramisu is assembled then refrigerated, it makes displaying super easy with …
First thing you want to do is pre-heat you oven to 350 degrees. Second is to make the pie crust, or buy one. This pie crust is my favorite to use for any kind of pie. I've used it for my Turkey Pot Pie (as you can see in that pie crust link), I've used …
Hi Everyone 🙂 Every season comes with its perks. During the fall and winter, that perk is to have some banana bread in the house. This perk is such a necessity that I tend to make banana bread at least ONCE every cold season. I just have to. I need it in my life with …

Butter chicken. No, it doesn’t contain sticks and sticks of butter (not like that would be a bad thing). I mean, that was my first impression of it when my husband took me out to an Indian buffet here in Seattle. I thought, holy crahmoley, butter chicken? Is there such a thing? Well, the …
Perfectly delicious for the holidays. 🙂
Yes.
Somedays you just need some kabobs in your life. A little mix of healthy and very tasty come together on sticks that also allow you to portion control (but let's be real, sometimes that don’t even help and I end up with 3-4 on my plate)*insert emoji of little monkey covering their eyes. I make these with …
Oh so worth it.
Oh. Ma. Gosh. If you haven't tried cauliflower soup, or at least if you haven't tried THIS cauliflower soup, YOU NEED TO. I made them with my dinner rolls from scratch. Recipe is here. The common reaction I get when I mention cauliflower soup is somewhere between asking someone to eat their least favorite veggie …
I love bread rolls. I love carbs. I do my best to limit the number of rolls I sneak onto my plate during a dinner setting that provides limitless baskets of bread. I love bread that is free. If you are a home cook or simply someone trying to find a great bread roll recipe, …

Simple. Convenient. Perfect.
Easy to follow visual yummyness
What a beautiful morning for a workout. And ain't no better feeling than following it up with a plate of sprouted Moong Beans with Paneer fried in Ghee. My husband isn't a ghee eater (surprising since he is Indian) so I relish the moments when I'm cooking and he's in the bathroom giving himself a …
First time was in High School. That was the first and last time I had been to Olive Garden. Tonight for dinner we went with 3 of our friends. Overall the food was OK. I got the Salmon Piccata and Sam and I shared Calamari. The experience reminded me of how folks actually think it's …
