If you love quick rice dishes, check out Thai Mango Fried Rice, Cilantro Lime Rice, and flavorful Murgh Chicken Pulao. I have tried to replicate the restaurant taste in my recipe. The vegetables are crisp, and the rice is very flavorful. For better texture, and for quick and easy Thai fried rice, use leftover rice for this recipe. Thai Fried Rice is the English name for Khao Pad or Khao Phat....
About a year ago, Lt. Dan and I were watching our children as they teased each other, laughing on the sofa. It was one of those nondescript lazy weekend moments when our family just stopped all the business of life to sit around and enjoy being together. I looked over at Dan and watched his adoring smile slowly drop, as it suddenly dawned on us both that we (potentially) had only four years left with our daughter at home, and 6 years left with our son....
Today I have served it with INSTANT WHEAT DOSA, but this can also be served with any Indian flatbread like NAAN, CHAPATI, ROTI, KULCHA, etc., or also with simple steamed rice or GHEE RICE.

Trust me, you’re gonna want to put this baked good in your weekly dietary plan after knowing all the benefits.

The fizz of the 7UP and zing of the lemon makes this pound cake irresistible. The fizz creates a light and fluffy texture, and the lemon/lime adds a new flavor dimension. That with a cup of coffee, and you are good to go. 7UP used to have lithium and was considered medicinal. Didn’t Coca-Cola start as medicine, too? I don’t have a problem using 7Up as medicine😉. And don’t think you have to have 7UP....

This delectable codfish comes from a large family that includes haddock, whiting, and Chilean seabass. So any of these guys will work in the following recipes. And don’t forget about salt-cod for authentic Caribbean cuisine. Easy Cod Recipe Make-Ahead and Storage Fish is one of those dishes that is best fresh. Unfortunately, it can get funky pretty fast if it’s raw, so I don’t recommend making it ahead unless you’re thinking about marinating it overnight....

Ambe Upkari is a versatile, easy-to-make curry where you can adjust all the ingredients to your taste. Depending on how sweet the mangoes are, adjust the amount of jaggery. To balance and contrast the sweetness of mangoes, add green chilies. And lastly, add some tempering (tadka) and grated coconut to give the coastal flavor. Konkanis love this dish so much that at any function you attend during the summer season, ambe upkari is served 🙂...
Apples. The first fruit most of us learned since it always represents the first letter in the alphabet (I know, right?!) And who doesn’t love apples? My family, and even my 6-month old niece, who just recently learned how to eat, loves them too! (don’t worry, I steamed and mashed them). To satisfy my family’s love for apples, I’ve recently created my own version of Apple Crumble to save money, have way more flavor than the store-bought version, and have healthier ingredients....
Oh hello laziest ever one pan dinner. British ‘summer’ is proving a bit sketchy so far this year aka RAIN RAIN RAIN. Another day of wet feet, through my inappropriate choice of footwear (but it’s JUNE FOR GOODNESS SAKE) and all I want is some kind of comfort food dinner. Enter: Baked gnocchi = carby, cheesy, goodness. In need of TLC in a bowl? Or a mega quick meal for small people?...

But what happens when we add grated zucchini to our favorite snack?...
Where To Eat In Asheville I love where I live. Yet what’s more, seemingly everyone I meet in business and travel loves where I live. Over the last few years, as I’ve shared my hometown Asheville, North Carolina with you, I’ve started receiving emails… Lots of emails. Many of you have asked, “When we head to Asheville next month, where should we stay? What should we do? What are your restaurant suggestions?...
Huevos Rancheros Forever Lt. Dan and I are Huevos Rancheros people. Whenever we go out for breakfast, an easy daytime date now that the kids are back in school, one of us always orders Huevos. Always. The other person inevitably orders french toast or pancakes. Then we share the two breakfasts, one bold and savory, the other sweet and pillowy. Huevos Rancheros is not something we keep only for breakfast date mornings....
