This hearty salad features a few of my all-time favorite ingredients. Here we have massaged kale, quinoa, spiced sweet potatoes, and black beans served with a dollop of creamy avocado sauce. I added crumbled feta and toasted pepitas for good measure. I’d cook with only these ingredients if it weren’t for diversity’s sake. This texture-rich vegetarian salad packs great for lunch. If you like to meal prep for the week, this is an excellent candidate....
I’m super excited to share this queso recipe with you. This Mexican dip is cheesy, creamy and full of fresh flavor. It’s surprisingly easy to make and utterly irresistible. This recipe uses a simple secret ingredient—cream cheese—to achieve its gloriously creamy texture and light tang. No flour and no fussy roux required here (as a bonus, this queso is gluten free). This stovetop queso possesses all of Velveeta’s positive attributes, but it tastes a million times nicer....
During our visit to Kerala in one of the hotels we stayed, Ulli Vada used to be one of their regular evening snacks with tea. Onion fritters are a popular tea time snack all over India and they are made in various ways. I have also shared another South Indian variation of Vengaya Bhaji recipe, in which the onions are cut in rings, batter coated and deep fried. The taste and texture of Ulli Vada is different from the regular classic Onion Pakoda....
Help! I can’t decide on the cover for my new cookbook, Love Real Food. The book’s designer, Rae Ann, came up with three awesome options.

You all have been so supportive throughout the cookbook-making progress (thank you) and I’m thrilled that you get to pick the cover....

Somehow it has been ten months since my cookbook, Love Real Food, hit the shelves last May....
I almost called these my fifteen “favorite” recipes from my cookbook, but I couldn’t do it. All 100 recipes in the book are my favorites. It took testing at least 150 concepts to narrow down to 100 worthy of print. I photographed each one, agonized over the instructions and provided as many tips and tricks as I possibly could. If it has seemed quiet around here lately, it’s because I’ve been on a family vacation and I’m gearing up to co-host this awesome event in NYC (you should come)....

Updated Dec 04, 2017 When it comes to healthy, gluten-free travel snacks, I find that I always rely on the same “go-to” items. Products that are always in my backpack or purse (not in checked luggage) whenever I pack for a plane, train, bus or ship. In other words, gluten-free travel snacks that get me through my transit time, in-route to my destination. You guys know I’m a proponent of home-cooked (or home-prepared) meals and healthy, gluten-free travel....

I hope you all had crazy fun weekends to make up my totally tame past couple of days. Please, tell me stories about late nights and bottomless brunch mimosas so that I may live vicariously through you. As for me? I stared at this screen a lot and cleaned, mostly. I bathed my puppy dog (Cookie wants you to know that she is so fresh and so clean clean), moisturized my handbags (you guys, it’s like I got brand new purses) and finally, cleaned off my camera lens and viewfinder....

So creamy between the layers of the perfect beef sauce, melted stringy mozzarella cheese, soft pasta sheets, and the creamy white sauce over the top....
We served this dessert at our wedding over four years ago, and it’s high time to share the recipe with you! Our family has been calling this recipe “chocolate mousse” for years but it’s much closer to a French recipe called pots de crème, which translates to jars of cream. These chocolate pots de crème are luscious, creamy, rich, and decadent. They are such fun desserts to offer at a party in individual servings....
