How long it takes: 40 minutes Equipment you’ll need: oven safe skillet Servings: 4 That’s why I’m excited about this orange glazed salmon. The orange juice and soy sauce glaze is so flavorful. The salmon can be a weeknight dinner or an easy dinner for entertaining guests. It’s super tasty and the glaze really dresses up the salmon. It’s also kind of gorgeous looking, isn’t it? Delicious Glazed Salmon Recipe Asian-inspired flavors....

I saw the lovely ladies @ Blogger’s buzz team announce about the ‘Curry week’ on Facebook and really wanted to join in the fun. What’s not to love about curry?? After looking through my bookmarks, I found this Paneer-Vegetable Stew recipe from Ecurry. It seemed to be a simple dish with not many spices, so I made some changes to make it more of a curry and less of a stew and served it with some bread for dinner tonight....

Paniyaram Pan Nei Appam Nei Appam / Neyyappam / Unni Appam is one of the traditional sweet recipes that we prepare for Krishna Jayanthi and Karthigai Deepam. It’s a classic recipe made mainly in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It’s flour-based sweet fritter deep fried in ghee, but guess what, I am going to share the non-fried version of the same. Thanks to the appe pan / paniyara chatti. Here comes the low-cal version of the sweet delicacy Nei appam....

I love love love sharing shot glass desserts. They are among the most popular desserts on my website, they’re adorable, and best of all, they are easy and fast to make. These peanut butter pie dessert shooters are actually the very first desert shooters I ever shared on Sugar Spun Run, and this recipe sparked an obsession (hence every other dessert shooter I have on this site). As they were one of my earliest recipes, the original photos did a severe injustice to their deliciousness, and I hardly ever (maybe never) shared them on Pinterest because I was so embarrassed by the pictures....

Today’s Pinata Cupcakes are exactly what I need after mother nature dropped over half a foot of snow on me on the first day of Spring! They’re light, cheery, colorful, and the perfect way to add some brightness to your day, which is especially helpful if your day is otherwise blinding white from this springtime snowstorm!. The best part is that these Pinata Cupcakes are so simple to make! Making them is as simple as baking a batch of vanilla cupcakes (you can, of course, substitute any flavor, but you can’t go wrong with these), making a minor incision, filling with sprinkles, and topping with frosting!...

During my last few trips to India, one thing that I always eat is “Pindi Chole (Chickpeas Simmered in Spicy Indian Spices) with Kulcha”. It’s like a perfect goto snack/meal or just a “oh I wanna eat something nice” kinda dish bursting with a slight sour/tart flavor. It’s easy to prepare and is slightly different from the regular “chole curry” as this doesn’t need any onion-tomato and is mostly dry....

The BEST Quiche Recipe This quiche Lorraine recipe comes to you by email request from reader Mary Jo G.! I always appreciate your recipe requests and try to make them as I am able, so please keep sending them in. This was a fun one! Why you should try it: Smooth, almost custardy texture thanks to a combination of eggs and heavy cream (I do include instructions for substituting some milk though!...

I didn’t use a whole lot of spices in the curry since I was cooking for the kids, but you can definitely amp up the spice volume, if that is how you like it 🙂 I used a can of kidney beans since I wasn’t really planning to make this dish. If you plan ahead then soak about 1 cup of kidney beans overnight or at least 8~9 hours. Then pressure cook them or boil them until tender....

We all love popsicles. Holding them in hand and slurping is absolute fun. Last year I started to mix different fruit flavors and juices for preparing these semi-homemade popsicles. You can prepare all these popsicles in less than 10 minutes, and it takes about 4 to 6 hours for it set as these are all water-based popsicles. I usually let me popsicles freeze overnight, but four to six hours should be sufficient....

The third ingredient that I received from Smruti was the “Vital Wheat Gluten,” an ingredient that I have never used before. I know that we use wheat gluten for baking purposes especially bread. Initially, I thought of baking some bread with the gluten flour. But as I started to read about it, I realized its other culinary uses apart from baking purposes. Wheat gluten is an alternative to soybean-based foods such as tofu....

Absolutely Incredible Sourdough Pretzels At first glance, these sourdough soft pretzels may look like an intimidating endeavor, but can I take a second to assure you that they’re actually quite simple and hands-off? As is the case with most sourdough recipes, the dough does take its sweet time rising and fermenting. Be prepared to make the dough one day, and then roll, dip, and bake the next. You definitely need patience, but the actual effort required is relatively low and the wait is worth it....

So, how do you feel about spiders? How about spider cookies with adorably huge candy eyes? Ones with peanut butter and chocolate bodies, with dark chocolate legs snuggled tightly onto marshmallow cobwebs? I can tell you that this is the only kind of spider that I’d be happy to find sitting unexpectedly on my kitchen counter, packed away in a lunch box, or hiding out in a Tupperware container....

Strawberry Shortcake for a Crowd If you’ve ever had traditional strawberry shortcake before, you know it’s a tasty but rustic and humble-looking treat, made of biscuits, whipped cream, and fresh, macerated strawberries. I wanted to do a slightly more impressive and elegant take on this springtime treat and ultimately ended up with my version of strawberry shortcake cake that I’m sharing today. My recipe combines not-too-sweet vanilla cake with slight variations of the fresh berries and chantilly cream you know and love....

I am a HUGE fan of homemade tortillas / flatbreads/ roti. Store bought ones have so many additives! Therefore, increasingly, I find myself avoiding store bought flatbreads. I mean, why should I, when making them at home is so easy! This vibrant and beautiful flour tortillas recipe is up there in the list of my favourite flatbreads, ever, closely followed by this spicy flatbread and gluten free naan. If you are not already, I urge you to switch to making tortillas at home....

Let’s talk ‘New Year Resolutions‘ and about this gorgeous Super Healthy Pomegranate Cranberry Almond Smoothie today… I’m sure many of you must have made tons of resolutions for this year and one of them would be to ‘Stay Healthy or Reach a Certain Health Goal‘ I’m not going to ask you a reason for skipping one but will definitely say that mine was because of ‘not enough time to make one or just doesn’t know what to make’....

How long it takes: 40 minutes (but only 20 minutes is hands-on) Equipment you’ll need: muffin tin, skillet Servings: makes 18 taco cups That’s how these taco cups were born, but whether or not you have a picky eater in the house (I have a VERY picky eater), you’re going to love them. Swapping the tortillas for wonton wrappers gives them an extra-crispy shell but the seasoned ground beef filling sticks with tradition—well, American taco tradition, at least....

Theme: Unused BM# 39 posts Dish: Chettinad Eggplant Curry My theme for the 3rd week of blogging marathon# 40 is ‘Unused posts from BM# 39’. I think I speak for the whole group when I say that we were so enthusiastic in trying new dishes from the Indian States that we cooked more than we can post for last month. So Valli gave us a chance to post them this month....

If you love classic tuna noodle casserole, you will love this fun recipe! How long it takes: a half hour Equipment you’ll need: sheet pan or pizza pan, mixing bowl Servings: 8 It’s actually very satisfying, sort of a mash up of tuna melts and tuna salad. We really like it and it’s a quick easy meal. Tuna Pizza is a Budget Meal Are you looking for more budget-friendly meals?...
