How long it takes: about 45 minutes Equipment you’ll need: sheet pan Servings: 4 I’m kind of easing us into fall with this one. I’m not quite ready. However, this recipe, along with my almond crusted salmon, is tantalizing enough to board the fall train a few weeks early. And let’s be honest, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and apples are good year-round, not just in the fall. Right?!? An Easy Baked Salmon Recipe If you’re not quite ready to hop on the autumn train, make sure to bookmark or pin or print this one out because it’s perfection for back-to-school days....

Cinnamon rolls have been on my to-bake list for the longest time. So finally I made these wholewheat eggless overnight cinnamon rolls during Thanksgiving holidays. My ever enthusiastic 7 year old helped me bake these. These are for Day 3 of this week’s BM under ‘Holiday Special’ theme. Eggless Overnight Cinnamon Rolls: Baking cinnamon rolls for breakfast/ brunch sounds great in theory. But unless you wake up very early in the morning, these won’t get to the table for breakfast....

What to make for dinner? That question is asked by cooks around the world as they look for nutritious and easy meals that aren’t complicated but taste great. And no one looks forward to facing a disaster scene in the kitchen after dinner. Sigh! Stacks of dirty dishes, pots and pans crusted with hard to remove residue, colanders, cutting boards, and a messy stove can sour your outlook for sure....

As you may already know, I am a huge fan of having homemade chutneys and sauces handy. They take away the hassle from cooking and add loads of flavor to my meals. If you haven’t tried them already, this passata sauce and simple onion chutney are what I have in mind. There is always a bunch of cilantro in my fridge, so you will invariably find a bottle of a simple green chutney lurking there 😍....

Soft, Spiced, and Just the Right Amount of Sweet Fall officially started yesterday, and I’m so excited to be sharing my latest apple recipe: apple cinnamon rolls! Unlike other cinnamon roll recipes, my apple cinnamon rolls are sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. Each bite balances the subtle tartness of the apples with the warm cinnamon filling, and it all comes together with a decadent caramel glaze. These are so cozy and absolutely perfect for fall!...

There are plenty of things that I’ve failed at in my 27 years. Though my mom will try to tell you otherwise, out of her six children I’m the only one who failed as an athlete (rec soccer and softball were the stuff of my nightmares). I failed my first driver’s test (by one point, OK), and while I technically passed all 4 years of Spanish, I have retained absolutely zero of the information and the extent of my knowledge is “no hablo espanol” (and I even had to google that to make sure it was right)....

This recipe is from my MIL. I love making it as a part of a Hyderabadi meal or any Indian meal. It is great to serve with a paneer curry or dal. About the Recipe Hyderabadi cuisine is known for its spicy and flavorful dishes like this veg biryani and zafrani pulao. The combination of spices and ingredients make these dishes aromatic and absolutely delicious. One such dish is this simple yet amazing bagara rice or bagara annam....

How long it takes: 10 minutes of prep, plus 30 minutes of cooking Equipment you’ll need: sheet pan, mixing bowl Servings: 5 This is honestly one of those meals I make over and over and OVER again. It’s ridiculously easy and it’s a great way to use up whatever produce you may have in the fridge. While my basic baked Italian sausage recipe has onions and bell peppers, I’ve made it with sweet potatoes, mushrooms, yellow onions—we’re talking maximum versatility here!...

I saw my blogger friends from the Blogging Marathon group trying bread gulab jamun instead of the regular gulab jamun. In India, gulab jamuns will be there for all the Diwali in our household, no matter what. I followed the same tradition here in the US too. But this time, I wanted to try something different. Thought of making bread gulab jamun and wanted to make it healthy. So I went with wheat bread, and while mixing it, I thought about baking instead of frying....

The BEST Birthday Cake Cookies Recipe When the birthday cake craving hits, skip the full-sized ordeal and make these birthday cake cookies instead! My 100% from-scratch recipe is made without cake mix and consists of soft, tender cookies topped with a sweet (but not too sweet) cream cheese frosting. These are as decadent as a slice of funfetti cake (with the textures to match!) all wrapped up in a cookie! To really take these over the top, I am adding my crisp, cake batter-flavored confetti crumbs that I just shared earlier this week....

This stuff is good. Really, really good. It’s similar to “cowboy caviar” or “Texas caviar” but with black beans instead of black-eyed peas. It’s easy, inexpensive to make, packed with healthy ingredients, and so versatile. How long it takes: 15 minutes Equipment you’ll need: mixing bowl, sharp knife, strainer Servings: 8 (one cup each) I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t like this black bean and avocado salad. Oh, except my father-in-law who won’t eat avocado because it looks like lobster brain....

Oh, friends, I really, really hope you like blueberries as much as I do. Not only have I already shared these completely amazing blueberry crumb bars and blueberry cobbler, but somewhere along the way during my baking journey I got completely carried away and now have 3 more perfected blueberry recipes waiting in the wings for you. The good news is that 1) I promise to try and space them out as much as I can, and 2) if you’re not a blueberry fan (which you really should be because blueberries are amazing, but I won’t hold it against you 😉), in most cases you can substitute your favorite summer berry....

Last week, I shared easy-to-make kind of meals in the meal planner. This week also I am following the same suite. Are you wondering why? It’s going to be a busy week for me, both at work and life front. I don’t want to give up on my homemade meals because of my crazy schedule. So, I planned simple, yet healthy meals. I am not going with two veggies a day, but planning to use mixed vegetables for all my dishes....

I love curries and gravies that pairs with both rice and roti, and this kurma kuzhambu or kuruma kulambu is one such recipe. Are you wondering why we call this recipe as kurma kuzhambu? Because it’s a mix of both. :-) Usually, for kuzhambu (South Indian tangy tamarind-based stew), we add sambar powder and tamarind. For kurma (South Indian coconut-based gravy), we add fennel and coconut, roasted gram, and other masala items....

Who doesn’t like pizza?? My picky daughter also likes it and that is something to say because she says she doesn’t like cheese (???). I don’t even know where she came from sometimes. My son and I, on the other hand, eat cheese like there is no tomorrow 🙂 So when she says, she liked this Detroit style cheese pizza – it is a BIG deal.I have quite a few pizza recipes on the blog already....

Snowball cookies are my youngest sister’s favorite cookies. This recipe came from a cardboard-paged Tollhouse cookie cookbook that’s probably older than she is, and is her favorite to bake. My family has been making this recipe for so long that I don’t know how I haven’t shared it with you sooner! While Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies are great every time of the year, they are a must-serve on the holiday cookie platter, right there beside peanut butter blossoms, Snickerdoodles, and chocolate chip cookies....

I found a tiny, pepper-flake of an ant trying to sneak its way into my kitchen this weekend. Normally, this would call for a careful sweeping and a thorough examination of the floor for crumbs, extra care when measuring flour and rolling dough, and a bit more thoughtfulness when transferring cake layers from counter to counter for the next few days, but this time it just called for celebration. Because you don’t see bugs in the wintertime....
