So we went on a little East Coast Road Trip at the beginning of June, and while dragging 3 kids 6 and under around from province to province and state to state definitely made things interesting, we had a great time, and Bar Harbor, Maine was one of our favorite stops by far. I definitely wanted to go into a little more detail about what we saw and did and ate in Bar Harbor, even though we were only there for a couple of days....

Chocolate cupcakes with fresh blackberry buttercream: Yes yes, these cupcakes are absolutely beautiful. But, I promise the taste and the appearance line up. You can frost these blackberry cupcakes with a butter knife, and the rustic appearance would never detract from the incredible flavors. My daughter’s first taste of a sugar was at her 2nd birthday, where I made her my Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake with a triple batch of this blackberry buttercream slathered on top....

This is one of those perfect recipes that is rich enough to be served in Dinner parties and light enough to be added in the weekly meal rotations. Just like Dam ka Keema (slow cooked ground beef) and the Chicken Malai pulao, this one is also quick and effortless. STEPS TO MAKING THE BEST HANDI We are going to use chopped onions in this version of the chicken handi. Start by adding oil and ghee in a pot....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. This post has been generously sponsored by The Little Potato Company and I was compensated for my time spent creating this recipe.

We love breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, and breakfast for dinner....

FRIENDS. As soon as I peeked inside the foil pack, I just knew. This was going to be a winner. These Cheesy Grilled Potatoes are out of this world good. This delicious side dish is so, so unbelievably easy to make, you’ll find yourself having them all summer long! And I won’t blame you. I started my potatoes in the microwave because it just adds a little extra insurance that the potatoes will all be cooked through, especially since I like to stack my potatoes up in my foil pack!...

What is the difference between Indo-Chinese & Traditional Chinese Hot and sour soup? The traditional Chinese recipe uses pork, tofu, dried Shiitake mushrooms, dried lilies and other Asian ingredients and creates a strong umami and sour flavored broth. This is the soup you get when you order from any Chinese restaurant outside of South Asia. The Indo-Chinese aka Desi style hot and sour soup has a tomato-ey and chili base broth....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER SO. The day I discovered chipotle powder was pretty life changing. We don’t use chipotle peppers a lot, and I would always end up with frozen little baggies of chipotle peppers in the freezer that would never get used. I would forget about them, and then I’d be cleaning out the freezer two years later and find a bunch. If you’re how often my freezer gets cleaned out… yes, it’s probably that pathetic of a situation....

This Mug Cake Recipe is the perfect late night treat I’ve been having late-night dates with chocolate lately. Just me, my microwave, and a mug of warm chocolate cake. When the microwave beeps, it’s almost like the doorbell–my date is here to pick me up! Judge me if you wish, but there’s no one else I’d rather hang out with on a Friday night than a mug of warm chocolate cake topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a strawberry....

Fall is here and I am all about the cozy soups and fall baking. I know that in September we usually turn to apples and pumpkin, but with 2020 being what it is, I definitely need a little chocolate here and there too! We love this Chocolate Sheet Cake because it is rich and moist and fudgy, but it’s also easy to make. It can serve a crowd, but it also freezes perfectly and keeps for a long time....

If your idea of the perfect Christmas is a cozy night in, then this is the meal to make! Needless to say, this is an incredible date night dinner anytime, especially for Valentine’s Day. But today, we’re making it for an at-home holiday. So, turn on the fireplace, crank up the holiday music, and let’s make this Christmas dinner for two! The main attraction here is a perfectly cooked steak that we slice and serve with a drizzle of creamy spinach sauce....

Satisfy your creamy pasta craving with recipes like Creamy Cavatappi Pasta, Creamy Gemelli Pasta and Creamy Tomato Rigatoni Pasta. This Italian Sausage Pasta recipe is a one pan dinner that we’re honestly pretty obsessed with. It’s creamy, cheesy, hearty and loaded with flavor! I also love the veggies that are tucked away into this creamy pasta skillet. Eating spinach has never been so satisfying! There’s also a good amount of roasted red peppers which add a ton of flavor....

Love Slow Cooker Chicken Breast recipes? Try this Crockpot Tuscan Chicken, this Crockpot Creamy Garlic Chicken, Easy Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken or this Crockpot Chicken Stew next! I love my crockpot. How could you not love a kitchen tool that allows you to just throw everything into one pot, walk away, and come back to a home-cooked meal? This Crockpot Salsa Chicken is just one of my favorite crockpot recipes. It’s made with chicken breasts, a few simple seasonings, and your favorite salsa, and finished off with melty mozzarella cheese because who doesn’t love some extra cheesiness?...

It is paired with flatbreads like chapati and roti and fried breads like parathas. Some of us love pairing this with a vegetarian side kick like the Moong Masoor Dal As much as I LOVEEEE this recipe and want to take credit for it, my inner voice is telling me to tell you my sources. This version of dam ka keema is actually one of my Aunt’s recipes (Khala). And god bless I have 7 of them!...

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER I am that person, you guys. The one that always forgets about the cute, holiday-themed treats and snacks and meals until absolutely the last minute. I promise every year that I’ll get better, that I’ll actually make an effort (I’ve got a 3 and a 5 year old, friends, and they’re started to remember these things!). There will be treats for Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day and St....

So Basic! That would be the ingredients I am referring to. Cabbage, iceberg, capsicum, cream and mayo are all things you probably already have in your fridge. Go give this a shot BONUS: TRICK TO PREVENT SOGGY BREAD So like with any cold cut sandwich, this sandwich also runs the danger of making the bread a little soggy from the inside. To counter this, what I like to do is, I like to grill or toast only the inner side of the bread lightly and layer it with a very thin layer of butter....

This recipe was first shared on The Recipe Critic. I’m choosing to ignore the fact that a lot of my American friends have kids going back to school and just plug on enjoying my summer here with these insanely awesome bbq Instant Pot Ribs. Are we good? Good. Ever since these Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs came to be, I’ve been dreaming of one day making a pressure cooker version that is just as amazing....

So I realized that, in spite of my love for puff pastry and all the things it can do, I don’t have any recipes using puff pastry on the blog. Until today. I love developing recipes. I love coming up with new combinations, and dreaming up totally over the top sweet treats. And sometimes I think I get a little carried away on the sweet side of things, since it’s not those recipes that we’re making and eating every day (well, I hope not, anyway!...

Funeral potatoes recipe: What do you do when you want a cozy casserole, but don’t want leftovers for 17 days? You come to me, don’t you? Most casserole recipes make enough to fill a 9x13” pan, which is 3.75 quarts. I’ve even seen ‘deep-dish’ casserole pans with the same dimensions but much deeper to total 6 quarts in capacity. I’m all for feeding a crowd lots of delicious food, but what about those of us who cook for two?...

This Valentine’s Day, I’d like you give you a gift. You can hold it in the palm of your hand, it’s chewy, spicy and delicious. It’s my cold little black heart. I hope you like it! These homemade black licorice chews are a fun addition to a ‘Love Sucks’ Galentine’s Day party. I hope you guys are liking the anti-Valentine’s Day series we have going on. Did you miss my ‘Stab Me In The Back’ Heart Break Cake?...

So I’ve never been much of a griller. When I plan something on the grill for supper it’s usually so that I get the night off and can weasel the hubs into cooking supper for me. This summer, though, I’ve been trying harder to focus on more seasonal recipes and I’ve actually really started to enjoy grilling! I can’t say I hate the pudding pops or the no-bake desserts either....
