Besides, nothing says “I love you,” like making it from scratch for those you care about most....

I first tried roasted red pepper sauce at a local pizza place I frequent. They were giving out free samples of a new pizza featuring roasted red pepper sauce instead of tomato sauce. You know me, I love to try anything new and innovative (and the fact that it was free didn’t hurt! lol). One taste of that rich, savory sauce, and I was hooked! I promptly ordered a large pizza, and (although I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it) my son and I polished it off in one night!...

Some simple things in life are totally satisfyingly without any explanation aren’t they?

Indian bakeries are famous for variety of fresh biscuits that they serve. They come in different flavors, colors and textures. They are neatly stacked in several large glass jars, as a result of which most bakeries have the same characteristic look. Bakeries sell these biscuits piece wise or in terms of weight (lbs or kg), and given their popularity they get over in no time. I am sometimes pleasantly amazed on how these bakeries survive the competition from big market brands....

I don’t eat steak much, but when I do, I really go all out! My favorite cuts are New York steak or rib-eye, dry-aged with marbling. I remember not too long ago eating a well-done steak was the norm for me. Any other way and I would have placed myself in the category of a barbarian. This was largely so because of my cultural upbringing- our meat is always cooked well done....

Egg Casserole Recipe for Breakfast Egg Casserole: The gift that just keeps on giving. Casseroles have grown on me over the years.

Fall is all about the orange vegetables: pumpkins, squash, and sweet potatoes galore. 🍂 I don’t discriminate, but sweet potatoes are probably my favorites because they are so easy to work with.

After that, it’s just a matter of mixing up the batter and baking....

Honestly, the word barbecue sauce brings to mind a deep tomato-red sauce with smoky overtones. Some are sweeter, some are heavier on the vinegar, some are spicier, and some are fruity (peach or pineapple BBQ sauce – yum!). Who could have imagined that someone could make a BBQ sauce from mayo? It just goes to show that we never stop learning. (Or stop eating.) 😋 What is White BBQ Sauce?...
