About Beetroot Pachadi Recipe This Beetroot Chutney is bright and vibrant in color! The reddish-pink hues come from the beetroot and not only does this chutney look good but it tastes delicious too! This chutney is a South Indian recipe. You won’t get the typical aroma and taste of beetroots from this chutney. The Beetroot Pachadi has sweet mellow flavors and the green chilies add some heat! The lentils, coconut, and herbs add even more delicious flavor to this chutney making it the perfect breakfast dip!...

Finished with an amazing ganache, this Best Fudgy Chocolate Cake is coming at you in true chocolate form! Chocolate Cake A good chocolate cake recipe is so hard to come by, just like a good brownie recipe. There are always high hopes and promises of what you’re looking for, but the delivery can be opposite and sometimes less than what you’re craving. While I’ve tried so many chocolate cakes over the years, and failed following so many different recipes, it was time to take matters into my own hands and come up with the best chocolate cake we’ve ever had....

I was a ridiculous kid. Stubborn, bookish, bossy and opinionated. I got into trouble for speaking out in classrooms (“But Mrs. Weaver, I don’t want to do that next”) and for making a face whenever my little brothers ate some food that I thought was disgusting. Take fresh green beans from my grandmother’s garden, for example. Our green beans came in a can at home and I wanted them in a can at Grandma Virgina’s, thank you....

I want to bring up two things I’ve taken issue with over the past week: dating, and the word curd. I don’t like either of them, and have no solutions to propose, but let’s discuss. Topic one: dating. I loathe dating. Sure, it has always been laced with thrill and misery, but I propose that my fellow generation’s way of approaching dating is fundamentally different from that of my parents, grandparents or grandparents....

With the family craving pancakes, (well, when do they ever not want pancakes), I went on a long and hard search in the fridge to see exactly what ingredients I had on hand. There’s no denying this. I have to say it. If there are any pancake recipes on here you need to try…it’s these. These pancakes are delicately light and perfect from the ricotta that they don’t need any oil....

About Blueberry Smoothie Healthy and delicious vegan blueberry smoothies are a great to enjoy for breakfast or anytime as a refreshing snack. Why are blueberries so good for you? In case you didn’t know, the mighty blueberries are packed with antioxidants, like anthocyanin which also gives them their typical and distinctive dark blue-purple color. They are terrific to include in a balanced diet (try my Blueberry Juice recipe!) and are naturally sweet, so you simply don’t need to add extra sugar when including them in smoothie and juice recipes....

And of course, I couldn’t resist and had to make something for you guys, which of course, I don’t mind at all… because I get to eat this glorious dessert. So, what is it? Well, it’s a hybrid creation. A cross between a cobbler, and a cake. A cobbler cake. Full of cranberries that ‘I just don’t knowwww what to doooo with ma’seeeelffff…’ You’re welcome. And it’s exactly what I wanted....

About Cheese Paratha There are many varieties of paratha made and this is one such tasty paratha which kids will love. I make different types of stuffed paratha and I have shared all of them on the blog like Aloo Paratha, Gobi Paratha, Mooli Paratha, Paneer Paratha etc. This is another variation of cheese paratha that I make for a quick breakfast or brunch. The recipe makes for a cheesy paratha and you can include either cheddar cheese or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese....

About Chia Pudding Chia seed pudding is made by soaking chia seeds in liquid like milk, nut milk, or juice for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds absorb the liquid and become gelatinous, creating a texture that’s similar to tapioca pudding, but with smaller pieces. Chia pudding is my favorite easy breakfast option for busy mornings, and I can’t wait to share it with you. The recipe is so simple: mix the liquid, chia, sweetener, and flavoring of your choice, and then let it sit in the fridge overnight....

This simple, soul-satisfying soup is a flavorful appetizer or side that is usually served with American, French or Italian cuisine. There are many variations to a Clear Soup Recipe. This is a gluten-free soup, which has cabbage, carrot, capsicum and French beans. I tend not to include vegetable stock in my soups, as I don’t always have it handy....

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you! I have a penchant for pancake recipes that call for seasonal ingredients (proof: pumpkin pancakes), so I couldn’t wait to try this recipe for coconut pancakes by À La Graham. While I used fresh coconut water for these pancakes, I have found that they are just as good with canned coconut milk, so you can make them all year long! As anticipated, coconut pancakes are positively delectable: light, fluffy and moist with a delicate hint of coconut....

Good morning from New York! I am perched on a cushy hotel bed, with a window overlooking TriBeCa on my left and a bag of homemade granola bars to my right. I’m here because you all voted for my roasted cauliflower lentil tacos when I asked you to. Thank you so much! The USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council flew me out here to attend their event. The United Nations designated 2016 to be the International Year of Pulses (think beans, chickpeas and lentils) for their significant health, economic and environmental benefits....

SKINLESS BONELESS CHICKEN BREASTS For this recipe, we use breaded, juicy chicken breasts. Crispy and golden on the outside → tender on the inside → lightly simmered in a creamy sauce with so much lemon/garlic/parmesan flavour. The combination of your dreams! Serve over anything: pasta, rice, zucchini noodles, steamed vegetables, or anything else you can think of. The light flouring including the parmesan cheese changed this Garlic Chicken Piccata inspired recipe from amazing into something else....

Where do I start with these Honey Orange Glazed Salmon fillets? I think I just said it all! I don’t know which was the best part: the juicy salmon with crisp and charred edges; or the flavour of this sauce. Who would’ve thought salmon and honey with orange could go together so incredibly well? HONEY ORANGE GLAZED SALMON How did this one come about? One of my readers wrote in and asked about subbing out lemon juice for orange juice in this Honey Garlic Butter Salmon recipe, and what flavours would work well....

Did you survive Thanksgiving? Good. Me too, barely. While in Oklahoma, I ate German chocolate cake for breakfast (more than once), overdosed on queso (entirely necessary) and cheered on the karaoke singers in a smoky Oklahoma City dive bar. Now it’s Monday, which means it’s time to get back into the swing of things. I’m going to need another cup of coffee for this. Which reminds me: I’m out of half and half for my coffee....

It was my birthday yesterday, and all I wanted was an excuse to eat super fluffy chocolate brownie cake for breakfast without a baking time, drizzled some more with extra chocolate sauce. I mean, who wouldn’t? The best part of these is that they provide a ‘eat-while-you-cook’ (if you’re anything like me)’ type of situation before they have a chance to hit the plates. And nothing beats the steam coming off of them as they come out of the pan....

Like everyone, I’m craving some adventure and daydreaming future destinations. Mexico City might be my first stop. It’s a vibrant, energetic city with incredible food around every corner. I hopped down there a few summers ago and came back with a list of restaurants to try next someday. For now, we can make tacos at home. I can’t claim these black bean tacos are 100 percent authentic, but they are easy, quick, tasty, and quite versatile....

About Gajar Ka Murabba Just like this Gajar Ka Murabba, other murabbas made with different fruits, veggies, sugar and different flavorings are a common way of preserving the goodness and quality of these ingredients, for a long period of time. In this way, you can enjoy some seasonal fruits too, all year round. For instance, this Aam Ka Murabba. For making Gajar Ka Murabba, essentially red carrots are cooked in a sugar syrup flavored with a few spices....
