Homemade Apple Dumplings I had good, productive plans for this weekend. Ones that didn’t include apple dumplings whatsoever. With Baby Boy expected in less than 7 weeks (omg) I intended to finally get the crib assembled, get all the baby clothes packed, and get the nursery at least partially organized. Instead, Zach and I spent our Saturday at an Apple festival eating (and drinking) all things apple related. Then, instead of doing any actual organizing, I came home and promptly made another batch of apple dumplings....

Indian festive special lunch menu always has vada/fritters and a kheer. And I try to make different types of vada instead of either paruppu vadai / chana dal fritters or mixed lentil fritters/thavala vadai. And this poha vada is one among them. Actually, for one Vinayaka Chaturthi, I forgot to soak the lentils for vada. And that’s when I tried this poha vada for the first time, and it came out so good, and I even shared on IG....

How long it takes: under 25 minutes Equipment you’ll need: heavy skillet Servings: 4 The first key to blackened chicken is blackening seasoning, a blend of herbs and spices rubbed onto chicken or fish before cooking. The seasoning is generously applied so it forms a nice crust when you cook the chicken in a skillet—and yes, this crust does turn pretty black! But don’t worry, it’s a flavorful and delicious deeply browned kind of black, not burnt-and-tastes-like-charcoal black....

I’m ready to cozy up in a sweater with a bowl of this squash soup with bacon…how about you? About this Squash Soup with Bacon Flavorful: Out of all the squash soup recipes on Rachel Cooks, this is probably the one I’ve made the most often. I love the savory flavors with just enough spice from the cumin, pepper, and chili powder to keep this soup from being boring. The touch of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar at the end gives it great balance and the bacon gives a nice salty crunch....

Perfect Homemade Caramel If you’ve been following along for a little while, you might be thinking: “Doesn’t Sam already have a caramel sauce recipe?” And you’re absolutely right, I do! However, that recipe–my quick & easy salted caramel sauce–isn’t actually a real caramel by standard definition. It’s still incredibly tasty though, and it’s the perfect fast and simple caramel for drizzling over brownie sundaes (yum). Today’s recipe is a true caramel....

So yesterday I posted a starter recipe with carrot, and today it’s going to be the main course recipe with carrots. Here comes my carrot rice. Err honestly I am not sure how to name this recipe. These are some of the names that I was contemplating with: carrot palya rice, carrot masala baath, masala rice, carrot pulao. I even thought of calling it as carrot biryani, but I didn’t use any mint leaves or dry masalas, so I finally gave it a generic name – Carrot rice....

How long it takes: 45 minutes Equipment you’ll need: large skillet, instant read thermometer (optional) Servings: 4 However, that’s what we’re here for. The fails happen in my kitchen so that they don’t happen in your kitchen. Everything after that, though, was a home run. We tweaked that original recipe to fix the problems and the result is this amazing chicken bathed in a creamy mustard sauce. Let’s be honest, this is less about the chicken and more about the sauce (at least for me)....

The Most Decadent Muffin Today’s chocolate cheesecake muffin recipe is not for the faint of heart. Anyone who sees the above picture (or reads the title) and feels the urge to comment “too much sugar” or has a history of leaving scathing review regarding unhealthy breakfast habits… I think they’re going to want to sit this one out. On a level, I get it. This isn’t an everyday breakfast and we honestly usually save muffins for snacks here, this being perhaps the most indulgent of all....
