Is there anything tastier than the cheesy, melty goodness of Buffalo Chicken Dip? This recipe inspired my Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese that I shared late last year, but I never shared the original dip recipe. That’s changing today. Rich, creamy, and packed with melty shredded cheese and cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and freshly shredded chicken. This recipe’s a keeper and ranks right up there on the indulgence scale with my beloved spinach artichoke dip and famous fried pickles!...

I love serving this Caprese Salad alongside Italian dishes like Baked Ziti or Stuffed Shells, but during the summertime it’s a great stand-alone meal, too! The Easiest Caprese Salad Recipe It’s almost that time of year. The time when those of you who have planted gardens can begin to really anticipate reaping the fruits of your labor. I’m pretty sad that I won’t be among you this year. Between moving and just life in general we (meaning mostly Zach, he’s the gardener) just didn’t have time to plant a garden this year....

Sheet Pan Cauliflower Nachos Recipe: made in under 20 minutes, extremely delicious, and light, these cauliflower nachos are a perfect snack for any occasion, big or small. What’s even more fun is that the whole recipe is ready within 20 minutes, and we are adding our favorite Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes from our local Safeway for a delicious smoky flavor (with minimum effort)! We are big-time snackers and our love for nachos is to infinity....

Although I love Coconut chutney the most to pair with south Indian delicacies however most of the time when I make them without planning, I’m always short of fresh or dry coconut. Hence this chutney came into existence as it’s quick, equally delicious and most of the ingredients are found in our everyday Indian Kitchen. I not only eat this chutney with Indian food however I love to eat it with any kind of bread....

You all know my love for boneless skinless chicken breasts. Always a must in the freezer — kept in stock for quick and easy dinners. They’re versatile — throw them in soup, marinate them, grill them, stuff them, or just bake them and smother them in a delicious sauce like this one. I also like to use shredded boneless skinless chicken, so I cook a bunch in my Instant Pot, shred it and freeze it for later use, in wraps, bowls, nachos, etc....

The transition from autumn to fall is such a perfect time for warm and delicious comfort food like this Chicken Kofta Curry. What is Chicken Kofta Curry? Chicken Kofta Curry is meatballs made using ground/minced chicken that’s simmered in a saucy tomato-yogurt gravy using Indian spices+herbs. This recipe is from Lucknow(India), which is an extremely popular city for Non-Vegetarian recipes or the Mughlai Cuisine. The dish is rich in texture, flavor and calms not only our hunger but the soul too 😉...

I am cooking with potatoes this week for ‘1 Vegetable - 3 countries’ theme. So for second day I have this addictive Chinese Potato Stir fry recipe. This is an easy to make dish that needs only a handful of ingredients. Chinese French Fries: My dear friend M in New Jersey, who is Chinese, used to make this quite often for our get-togethers and parties. She used to call them ‘Chinese French fries’ to get the kids to try them....

Another day, another cookie. Recently, cookies seem to be my favorite thing to bake (perhaps mostly because I enjoy indulging in a spoonful or two of cookie dough throughout the process). I don’t think, though, that I have any other cut-out cookies on this space, so today I am changing that with these easy buttery cookies that are similar to my shortbread cookies. Dunked in chocolate and glittered with sprinkles, these cookies are simple but sweet, and absolutely addictive, and easier than classic sugar cookies....

Coleslaw seems to appeal to almost everyone. It’s an easy salad and goes with everything from steak to burgers. Creamy southern coleslaw is a pretty much an essential with pulled pork sandwiches , crockpot BBQ chicken, or meatloaf. I love it with my BBQ salmon or air fryer BBQ chicken wings. How long it takes: 5 minutes Equipment you’ll need: measuring cup, whisk Servings: 4 Another advantage of coleslaw is that it can be prepared ahead of time; in fact, it’s better if you make it an hour or so ahead of time....

I’m combining the two favorite recipes and creating these braided rolls for a delicious breakfast....

Theme: Online Bookmarked Recipes Dish: Cranberry Pulihora For the final week of blogging marathon, I chose to do ‘Online Bookmarked Recipes’. I thought this will be a great way to try and make some of the dishes from my ever-growing bookmarked recipes. It was quite a task to decide on the 3 dishes for this week. Finally based on the ingredients in the fridge and pantry I made 3 delicious dishes....

How long it takes: 40 minutes Equipment you’ll need: large skillet Servings: 6 (generous) This recipe is not a curry although you could easily add curry powder or curry paste to it. In addition, in contrast to the bite-sized vegetables you’d find in a Thai curry, in this dish, diced vegetables are incorporated right into the sauce. They have a very unobtrusive presence and allow the shrimp to take the starring role....

Do you love restaurant style chicken parmesan? However, maybe you don’t love the calorie count or how it makes you feel afterwards. How long it takes: 33 minutes Equipment you’ll need: oven, baking pan with wire rack, sharp knife, mixing bowls. Servings: 4 This baked chicken parmesan is the perfect solution. It has all the flavor without making you feel weighed down or overfull. And it’s so easy to make!...

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with my sheet pans. Roasted vegetables basically make my world go ’round. Roasted broccoli is the only way to eat broccoli, roasted carrots are sweet and flavorful, mushrooms gain depth and texture, squash shines, and the list goes on and on! When my apple Gouda stuffed chicken sheet pan dinner turned out to be wildly popular right out of the gate, it became clear that more sheet pan dinners were necessary....

Cuban bread aka Pan Cubano is a simple white bread that is a staple in Cuban-American cuisine. Traditionally it is about 3-feet long, slightly flat and wide. It is the bread of choice to make authentic Cuban sandwich. I can easily find pan Cubano in grocery stores. But the drawback for me is that it has lard aka pig fat added in it. Apparently it adds a slight meaty taste that is characteristic to this bread....

I think there’s something just so comforting about an egg salad sandwich. Eggs are my “bestie” anyways. I don’t think I could live without eggs. How long it takes: 5 minutes (plus more time to boil the eggs) Equipment you’ll need: mixing bowl Servings: 4 Eggs are easy and versatile. I eat them pretty much every day: fried, scrambled, hard boiled, or in an omelet, frittata, or quiche. I love fried eggs in a grain (Buddha) bowl....

I am so glad that I am back to blogging with my beloved Blogging Marathon group this month. My theme for this week is ‘Diwali Savories and Sweets’. Since I am coming back after 3 months, I made a sweet dish for the comeback. I have rich and decadent Eggless Mawa cupcakes that are perfect to make for Diwali.I missed blogging all this summer due to our move to North Carolina....

I prepared yet another casserole recipe for this Thanksgiving Theme, which I am planning to post tomorrow. But last Sunday, on a whim I decided to bake some cupcakes with pumpkin puree that I had in hand. I worked out my recipe, and I wasn’t sure if I will get it right or not. Also, I mixed the ingredients in my way/order. In spite of all these, I went ahead and took step-wise pictures....

A New Kind of Fluffernutter Sandwich A tribute to the classic lunchbox treat, these fluffernutter cookies combine distinct peanut butter flavor with creamy marshmallow fluff. The thin, soft, and chewy cookies complement the sweet filling so perfectly that they just might taste better than the real thing! For the best tasting fluffernutter cookies, I highly recommend you make my homemade marshmallow frosting for the filling, but you can always use pre-made marshmallow fluff instead if you’re in a pinch....
