Nicely browned cauliflower steaks topped with a spoonful of brilliantly green chimichurri are so strikingly beautiful that you should feast your eyes on your dinner before you actually begin your feast. Maybe it’s the photographer in me but sometimes I just like to look at my food a second and enjoy the visual aspects of it. How long it takes: 10 minutes to prep, 30 minutes in the oven. Equipment you’ll need: long sharp knife, small bowl, basting brush, sheet pan, oven Servings: 6 But these steaks aren’t just a pretty face....

It was around this time last year that I shared my apple turnover recipe, and since then my little sister has not stopped asking me to make them for her. I finally decided that this space could use a new turnover recipe and thought that cherry would be the best choice because Unfortunately, as it turns out, Andi doesn’t actually like cherries or anything cherry-flavored so my efforts for that part were mostly wasted, but at least she nibbled around the edges and gave the sugared crust and cheesecake filling a thumbs-up....

I have something new/old for you today. This chocolate chip cookie brittle was one of my earliest recipe adventures back in 2015, (complete with not-so-great, 2015 photos) and this weekend I felt that it needed to be resurrected. I’m not sure if I made this decision because I was really regretful about the old photos and the fact that nobody seemed to want to pin them on Pinterest, or because I just wanted an excuse to make chocolate chip cookie brittle, but here we are, and despite a brand new chocolate stain on my favorite Under Armour sweatshirt, I’m pretty happy to be here....

The Best Coca Cola Cake If the idea of pouring soda into cake batter doesn’t sit right with you, let me ease your mind. Southerners have been making soda cakes like this Coca Cola cake since the early 1950s. At that time, busy home bakers loved the versatility of the bubbly beverage; not only did it provide sweetness and moisture, but it also acted as a leavening agent, adding lift and air....

No Churn Cookie Dough Ice Cream Introducing the newest (and favorite) member of my no churn ice cream recipe family: chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream! This is a sweet, (but not make-your-teeth-ache) vanilla flavored ice cream that’s peppered with mini chocolate chips and generous portions of edible cookie dough. It’s creamy, delicious, and so satisfying! The taste is, or course, the best thing about this ice cream, but a close second is how easy it is to make....

Everyone loves ribs, right? There’s something about picking your food up with your fingers and gnawing it off the bone that’s just, I don’t know, can I say appealing? Maybe not appealing, because it can get pretty messy. I guess you could say it appeals to the hungry animal in all of us. How long it takes: 15 to 20 minutes Equipment you’ll need: sharp knife, cutting board, sheet pan or air fryer Servings: 4 (or as many as you like!...

While some people confuse crumb cake for coffee cake, there’s actually a pretty big difference between the two. Traditionally, coffee cake is topped with a layer of crumbly streusel, while crumb cake is essentially half crumb, half cake. Both are worthy bakes, but today, we’re all about the crumb!The key to getting the perfect, melt-in-your-mouth cake is a technique I’ve covered before called reverse creaming. While it may sound complicated, it’s actually very simple and yields a soft texture that lasts for days....

Dhaba Style Paneer Bhurji: Growing up, ‘Paneer Bhurji or Paneer Scramble’ was one of my favorite school lunchbox recipe or an after school lunch at home. Unlike nowadays, ‘Paneer’ (cottage cheese) was not easily available everywhere, hence, Mom used to make fresh paneer (cottage cheese) at home on a daily basis, as it was one of our fav vegetarian ingredients, which meant less fuss while eating 😉 And then came tons of paneer dishes like paneer rolls, paneer paratha, paneer sweets and paneer bhurji....

The Easiest Sugar Cookies, Period. I love a good, classic sugar cookie recipe, especially around the holidays! I look forward to making the dough, enjoy the anticipation of waiting for it to chill, embrace the floured counters and ritualistic rolling out and cookie-cutting and careful decorating with colored sugar or royal icing…. But darn it sometimes I just want a sugar cookie, fast. This is the recipe you need when you don’t have time, or when you don’t have patience....

If you want a foolproof (and I do literally mean foolproof) easy sugar cookie icing that isn’t royal icing, one that dries firm but not break-your-teeth hard, well I’ve got you covered there too....

Do you crave for snacks or treats that you enjoyed as a kid or during your childhood? I sometimes do. These crispy and delicious puffs made with eggs used to be my absolute favorite to order at the bakery near our school. Growing up, I never thought I will make this this treat at home. But store bought puff pastry sheets make these extremely easy and convenient. This is my post for blogging marathon’s theme ‘protein rich dishes’....

Some of my favorites are chocolate orange cake, dulche de leche cake and pineapple cool cake....

I learned this recipe from Kamalika, one of the bloggers from the BM group. It looks like she got the base recipe from Nita Mehta’s cookbook. The cake is very straightforward, and this is my staple go-to cake for all occasions. I have used this cake as a base for my eggless tres leches cake as well. Variations that I have tried I have tried a couple of different variations, and twice I have changed the procedure slightly....

Adding another one to my frosting library today! This was a must-have considering the recipes I have coming for you later this week… (hint!)! Ermine frosting is a classic, old-fashioned recipe that’s been around for ages. I bet your grandmother knows how to make it! It’s great for piping and can be colored with food coloring. While there is some stovetop time required, there’s no candy thermometer needed. If you’ve tried my Whoopie Pies yet and made the filling, you’ve essentially had ermine frosting before, but today we’re making it the traditional way with granulated sugar....

How long it takes: 55 minutes to make but allow a few hours for chilling. Equipment you’ll need: springform pan, oven, saucepan, mixing bowls, mixer, measuring utensils Servings: 16 I am obsessed with how good this flourless Mexican hot chocolate cake is! In fact, I’m almost glad when the last piece has been eaten because when it’s in my fridge, I can almost hear it calling my name. “Rachel, Rachel…I’m still in here, eat me, you know you want to, why don’t you have just one bite…....
