If only you could taste this decadent Pecan Pie Cheesecake because the photos don’t do justice. There’s no way to describe how delicious this dessert is. It’s like admiring how handsome Johnny Depp is in the movies but then finding out he’s way hotter in person. Pardon my reference as I’m fangirling here. 😂 Anyway, back to our caramel pecan cheesecake… Cheesecake is already a slice of heaven on a plate, but adding a luscious caramel sauce loaded with pecans on top?...

Why We Love Zarandeado Pescado Zarandeado is a brilliantly spiced grilled fish recipe, a dish we came across on our recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The cooking method is said to be a 500-year-old grilling technique from the Nayarit state in western Mexico. Although most home cooks don’t own a specialized Mexican grilling basket to prepare this dish in its most traditional way, the fish can be prepared similarly on a low-heat grill or smoker....

There are certain flavors that were just meant to go together…. Steak and potatoes. Chocolate and peanut butter. Bacon and eggs. Make that bacon and anything. And of course coconut and pineapple. That’s what makes a pina colada such a special beverage. It’s part cocktail, part dessert, and all creamy dreamy decadence. There’s a rumor going around, that this girl I know once gained 13 pounds in TWO WEEKS by drinking virgin Pina Coladas every day in Hawaii, whilst pregnant....

Pounded Yams are traditionally made using a mortar and pestle, pounding them until soft, smooth, and completely mashed. It takes time and energy to make. Just thinking about it makes me tired. Good thing someone invented food processors to make our life a lot easier. Whew! 😉 We usually eat it with our right hand, creating a small ball and pressing the dough on the center to make an indentation....

If all else fails, mix rapid rise yeast into the dough and knead it. You may switch out evaporated milk with coconut milk. It is best to use freshly ground cardamom for this recipe; you get a hint of crushed seeds as you bite into the dough for an enjoyable experience.

I’ve been making Stuffing Muffins at Thanksgiving for years. What started out as a solution to my lack of 9 X 13 baking dishes has become a house-hold sensation. Not only does each person get a perfect portion of stuffing, but every single serving has the toasted edges that provide crunchy contrast to an otherwise soft dish. Plus Cornbread Stuffing Muffins with Apple and Pancetta are cute, and cuteness matters....

We all have those things we wouldn’t eat as a kid. Then slowly, as we bloom into maturity, our palates develop a mind of their own. Thinking back, their were only a handful of things I would not touch when I was little: yellow squash, raw tomatoes, egg yolks, wet bananas (as in fruit salad), and tabouli. Tabouli salad was my arch-nemesis. I remember sitting at the dining table long after everyone else had left, refusing to each the two bites my mother required....

When the word tandoori is used in recipes, the reference is to a cooking technique. As per www.britannica.com, tandoori cookery is an Indian method of cooking over a charcoal fire in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven. The marinade is usually yogurt-based like my Tandoori grilled lamb chops or my Pakistani Beef Roast With tandoori Masala. While traditionally cooked in a clay oven at intensely high heat, given the absence of these in modern-day home kitchens, other cooking methods like grilling, broiling, and frying are used instead....

Easy Red Beans and Rice Recipe (Our Favorite Version!) Red Beans and Rice is a nostalgic dish for many people.

I mean, what’s not to love about this Easy Meatballs Recipe, I ask you?! I have yet to come across a person who doesn’t think it’s a good idea to get stuck into this meal at any time, whether they’re 1 or 100. Yes, you can buy ready-made meatballs, but to be honest every time I do I’m disappointed, so now I stick to homemade meatballs. It’s one thing that is always worth the time and effort (and actually, it only takes about 15 minutes to get stuck in to mixing and rolling them)....

Tuna Burger Recipe – Hawaiian Style! Hawaii is my happy place. Particularly the island of Kauai. Lt. Dan and I took what we thought would be our last big vacation, right before our first child was born. It’s funny to me now, that we thought we wouldn’t be able to travel again for years. We determined we had better go somewhere spectacular before it was too late. Well, we were wrong about travel opportunities, but we were right about Hawaii being special....

My Easy Leftover Turkey Curry is just about all that I can manage to summon the energy for because it’s quick and easy, but the bonus is that cold turkey makes a really special curry too!
