I’ve had an air fryer for quite awhile now, and I’ll be honest. At first, we just ate more French fries and tater tots (they get SO crispy!). Since then, I’ve come to use my air fryer nearly every day for everything from boiled eggs to roasted mushrooms. I’ve had lots of requests for air fryer recipes, too. Today, I’m featuring homemade air fryer chicken nuggets. How long it takes: 22 minutes Equipment you’ll need: air fryer, bowls, tongs Servings: 4 but can be doubled Air fryer chicken nuggets are always a total hit with my kids....

How long it takes: 18 minutes Equipment you’ll need: air fryer Servings: 2 as a main dish Seafood can be a tough sell for picky eaters but air fryer salmon bites is the kind of recipe that will get a thumbs up from folks who normally turn up their noses at anything fish related. Present the salmon bites as “salmon nuggets” and serve them with a favorite dipping sauce. Watch them disappear!...

So the April spree begins. There is a lot of stuff going on at both house front and work front. But still, I signed up for this month-long marathon. Coming to think about it, that’s what made me sign up for this mega marathon and to pick this theme – ” A – Z Kids-Friendly Lunch Box Recipes.” This entire month, I will be posting what I pack for vaandu in the alphabetical order....

I am back with another potato recipe and a paratha recipe right after the batata nu shaak and cheese paratha. Seriously I can’t get enough of potatoes and parathas. I am sure everyone will agree to it. Ok, now let’s talk about this famous aloo paratha, aka potato stuffed paratha. In my opinion, paratha is synonymous to aloo paratha, right? Yes, there are different parathas, but I always conjure aloo paratha when we say the word paratha....

The mango season has begun and if I can find fresh ones here in the US, needless to say about in India. :-) So let’s kick start this mango season with this simple single serving shrikhand recipe. While the main ingredients are necessary, all other ones are entirely optional, so you can adjust them as per your preference. Today I am going to share how to make this amrakhand with Greek yogurt....

Angel Food Cake The sweet, snow-white nemesis to my Devil’s food cake, this meringue-based beauty of an angel food cake is everything that dark and decadent cake isn’t. It’s light, fluffy, so airy and delicately vanilla flavored (with a hint of almond!). It’s also my favorite recipe on the blog, and while it does require a bit of technique, I’m confident you can tackle this one. Once you do, you’ll never go back to store-bought or the kind that comes from a box!...

The first time I tried arugula, I hated it. I thought, why is this green stuff spicy? But eventually, as I have with many things, I grew to love it. The bold flavor it brings is such an asset in so many recipes. Toss a pile on top of pizza, serve it with a baked chimichanga, stir it into soup or pasta sauce, or of course, make a killer salad with it!...

Also, I wanted to try very crispy matchstick fries like hers. I hope I got it I think. You guys got to say. :-) I went with red potatoes, but you can go with any potato variety you have in hand. Without any delay here is the baked fries recipe, Ingredients: Red Potatoes – 3 (You can find the variety that you have in hand) Salt – ½ tsp Olive oil – 1 tbsp (as required) Black pepper powder – ½ tsp...

This Baked Soy Ginger Chicken : Perfect GameDay Recipe is the easiest chicken recipe that I’ve ever made….few ingredients resulting in a fabulous succulent chicken. It’s great for those really tired/hectic work week as you can marinate it in the morning before leaving and bake in the evening. Enjoy !!!

This is a great, comforting dinner option and tastes great served with a side salad (I like serving it with broccoli salad or caprese salad) and a warm homemade biscuit. Today’s recipe includes a how-to video. I swore over the weekend that it was going to be nothing but spinach salads and lean protein for me from then on out. The weather in Florida was 75 degrees and sunny and it was easy to promise myself a future of leafy green dinners....

Are you a fan of burrito bowls? We love visiting restaurants like Chipotle or Qdoba where you go through a line selecting all the items you want in your bowl. How long it takes: 15 minutes Equipment you’ll need: skillet Servings: 4 Starting with a dollop of rice, you can add meat, beans, veggies, cheese, sauce (I always go for pico de gallo), just whatever your little heart desires. My bowl is usually overflowing and I enjoy every bite....

I planned on making a soup and bought some leeks last week, but never got around to make the soup. So I used leeks instead of onions in this dish and it turned out delicious.

Best served over steamed rice or similar grains. Hey You’ll, Weekend is finally here – WoooooHoooooo! Nothing excites you like a Friday night…. You not only get to stay up till late but also sleep in the next day…Aaaah, the mere thought of it is so calming or maybe in my head 🙂 Well, the only thing, I worry about is what to make on Saturday morning – especially if you get up late!...

These Chickpea Mushroom Meatballs Recipe or Vegetarian Garbanzo Beans and Mushroom Meatballs is our healthier and tastier twist on an Ina Garten’s cookbook’s ‘Classic Meatball’ recipe. Being a complete foodie, we love collecting various cookbooks and this classic meatball recipe has been our favorite for many years. So I decided to make a vegetarian option using our favorite S&W ‘Organic Garbanzo Beans’ and mushrooms, which is healthy and quick....

Coursera and Udemy are my go to sites these days. These online courses make learning and our life easy. When I was browsing the courses in coursera, I found this course called “Child Nutrition and Cooking” offered by Stanford University. It is a self-paced and a free course too, so signed up right away. (It took me 3 months to complete a 6 hrs. course) It was a great course and the title explains it all....

My homemade version is lower in calories than the original version but is equally delicious. Also I make it with egg to add some protein, but you can skip it and make it completely plant based. About the recipe I love recreating traditional street food recipes at home. My versions are much healthier and I know exactly what ingredients are in the dish. Here’s a classic South Indian street food recipe that is popular in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka....

Got Zucchini? Make Muffins! These chocolate chip zucchini muffins actually debuted on the blog years ago. Today, I’m slightly adjusting the recipe to make an even dozen muffins (with just a bit more chocolate!) and sharing some new photos, too. If you were a fan of the old recipe, you’ll like this one just as much! Why You’ll Love This Recipe Flavor: chocolate chips, a touch of cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla add lots of flavor to this seemingly veggie-centered muffin....

Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes Molten chocolate lava cakes. Was there ever a sweeter string of words? Was there ever a better, more decadent or more chocolate-y dessert? I don’t think so. With their soft, cakey exteriors and positively molten chocolate interiors, these aren’t just decadent and rich, they’re also quick and easy to make. Yes, really! Lava cakes are so easy to make it’s almost a straight-up crime that I didn’t share this recipe sooner....

I hope you don’t have a problem with cookies. I have a feeling that you don’t (and this is why we’re friends), but I just want to give you fair warning that I make a lot of cookies in December. I’ll try to mix things up a bit and push out some candy recipes (one coming Monday, actually) and maybe even a cake or cupcake, but there are definitely cookies in your pre-Christmas Sugar Spun Run future....

Since I try to minimize our ghee consumption, I found this healthier version of the laddoos on Sanjeeta’s blog and used her tip to bake the dough instead of deep frying. I used a little more ghee than the original recipe and the resultant laddoos are delicious with a melt in your mouth texture. The powdery version of the laddoos aka churma is eaten along with dal baatis. My palette is not very used to the sweet and savory combination, but I really enjoyed the bal-baati-churma combo a lot....
