First things first. Are you on Snapchat? I am. For the longest time, dismissed it as an app that teenagers use to send scandalous photos to one another. Apparently that’s not all it’s good for, though! I’ve gotten hooked on other bloggers’ behind-the-scenes Snapchat “stories” lately. I’ve been following Gaby (whatsgabycookin) and Lindsay and Bjork (pinchofyum) on their travel adventures, keeping up with Dana and John (minimalistbaker) and their general shenanigans and caught glimpses of Ali and her pup/our pal Henry (gimmesomeoven) during their weekend at the lake....

About Brown Bread Recipe As we all know Brown Bread is one of the most eaten variant of bread all over the world. It is usually made with more portions of whole wheat flour mixed with all-purpose flour. To give a deeper shade of brown, sometimes coloring ingredients like caramel or molasses are also added in the commercially prepared brown bread. But do not that Brown Bread is different from Whole Wheat Bread as the latter is only made with Whole Wheat Flour and does not contain all-purpose flour....

Browned Butter Honey Garlic Salmon is a Cafe Delites original recipe! Salmon steaks pan fried in browned butter infused with garlic and honey, then grilled/broiled for an extra 6 minutes for extra golden, crispy and caramelised finish. The browned butter cooks right into this salmon and the honey and garlic give it such a beautiful flavour and charred finish in the oven. Browned Butter Honey Garlic Salmon When I hear browned butter…I hear complicated, but this recipe is simple and easy....

Buffalo sauce on Brussels sprouts? Yes. Yes indeed, a very good idea. I only thought to try this combination after, oh, eight failed attempts at buffalo cauliflower. (I think I’ve just figured out the trick to that one, but trust me, you’ll definitely want to give these sprouts a try this weekend.) These buffalo Brussels sprouts are a fantastic Super Bowl appetizer. They’re fresh and irresistibly spicy at the same time....

About These Butter Cookies Who doesn’t love a warm, crisp, and slightly chewy homemade cookie? We are certainly big fans, and make cookies from scratch on nearly a weekly basis. And because we enjoy cookies often, I tend to use eggless recipes and whole wheat flour for a healthy(ish) treat. But that doesn’t mean they are any less tasty than “traditional” baked goods! These fantastic butter cookies are lightly spiced, perfectly crisp around the edges, and are super buttery through-and-through....

This butternut squash mac and cheese recipe strikes the perfect weeknight balance. It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s comforting and completely delicious.

These chimichurri chickpeas are bold, hearty and zippy. This simple dish features tender chickpeas, crumbled feta cheese, and homemade chimichurri sauce. It’s ready in about fifteen minutes. Chimichurri verde hails from Argentina and is typically served on steak, though I love it in many other preparations. It’s a bright herbed sauce made with fresh parsley, garlic, red onion, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. While traditionally made with a mortar and pestle, my preparation method uses the food processor as much as possible, so it comes together very quickly....

Finally! It’s about time this blog offered a traditional minestrone soup recipe. Minestrone is a hearty Italian vegetable soup made with tomato-y broth and pasta or rice. I’ve been working hard on this recipe and I’m so excited to share it with you. Minestrone was traditionally made to use up leftover vegetables, so feel free to use any seasonal vegetables and greens you have on hand. I used potatoes and spinach for the soup you see here, and it was absolutely delicious....

The steps are so simple that once you make this, you will make it again and again! Boy this is good! The first step is to spoon all of the thick coconut cream sitting at the top of the tin.

Updated Oct 11, 2019 Thankfully, Havenly helped me accomplish that and blend my modern, minimalist, Scandinavian and SoCal-influenced style into one cohesive living room space. I’m beyond thrilled to finally unveil this little design project I’ve been working on for the last few months. If you follow my Instagram stories you’ve seen the play-by-play as I’ve purchased, installed and arranged all the furniture and decor in my living room. And last week, you also witnessed my inner “Tim the Toolman Taylor” as I proudly wall mounted my new TV all by myself (with the help of some strategically piled cookbooks!...

The dudhi bhaji recipe comes from my mom and would be a regular bhaji made at least once a week at home. The bhaji is mildly spiced with green chilies. Fresh grated coconut gives a nice sweet taste which accompanies the bland taste of lauki very well. I prefer to make succh bhaji recipes as they are quick to make and flavorful too. I have shared many such simple recipes with various veggies like:...

One of the first few cakes I had learnt in my home science class was pineapple upside down cake. I used to make the version with eggs eons back. But after switching to an egg free diet, I make the same without eggs. The recipe is very simple and easy to prepare. I have used fresh pineapple slices. You can even use the canned ones. I have already shared Pineapple cake and Apple upside down cake before....

Serve these baked cauliflower tacos inside warm corn tortillas, or your favorite low-carb alternatives such as almond flour tortillas or crisp lettuce cups. Cauliflower happens to be our favorite vegetable, and we like it spiced! This is why Aloo Gobi and Vegetable Korma are on repeat in my home.

With a little bit of plant-based protein from chickpeas, this roasted cauliflower taco filling becomes a hearty and complete meal....

Lentils are one of the earliest domesticated foods, with remnants of lentils found on the banks of the Euphrates River from as early as 8000 B.C. They soon spread from modern day Syria to Greece, Egypt, and later to other parts of the world. Lentils are considered “pulse crops,” which are the edible seeds of the legume family. They’re full of nutrients, making them a healthy, inexpensive pantry staple that can be used in a variety of recipes....
