What is Cowboy Caviar? I must admit, I did not expect to like this Cowboy Caviar recipe the first time I tried it. This cowboy dish has to have the most nondescript name for any recipe ever… It does not include caviar, or buffalos.

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes If you’ve ever heard the saying “twice as nice”, you’d wonder if the creator intended to use it as a description for these delicious double chocolate chip muffins. I suggest making a double batch of these chocolate muffins as they disappear real fast. As the name suggests, these muffins have an extra serving of chocolate chips (who’s complaining?) which makes them extra-chocolatey, extra-indulgent, and perfect to delve into, whenever midnight dessert cravings hit....

Eggs are pretty much an essential ingredient to an American meal. They are highly consumed whether your baking or simply tossing it on a bowl of fresh salad. Here in our house, most of our mornings would start something with an egg, like this Spinach Quiche HERE or a good Plantain Hash & Egg. But there are times, that I would start my day with a slice or two of my favorite moist and fluffy Banana Cake....
Fish and Rice Recipe One-pot recipes are definitely my go-to for busy weeknight meal plans. Being able to layer and cook all of your ingredients in one vessel is perfection for easily creating a hearty, satisfying dinner with fewer dirty dishes.

While I’m nowhere close to those numbers, in the short life (3 months) of my blog I already have recipes for raita, mint-chutney, sugar free imli chutney and a few others. This is a clear indication of how integral this famous condiment is to South Asian Cuisine.

Ground peanut paste adds a unique nutty flavor unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. This soup is completely versatile, too. Use any protein, vegetables, beans, or anything else you like! But if you have the time to make your own peanut paste, you’ll get that truly divine African flavor. I also recommend making your own stock for this....
