I love lobster everything: grilled lobster tail, lobster rolls, you name it. And this classic lobster bisque recipe is as good or better than anything you’d get at a fancy-schmancy restaurant. But without the hefty price tag. 😉 And did I mention that this soup is keto-friendly and gluten-free? Woohoo! However, for lobster bisque, you obviously need lobster. And you don’t waste anything because the shells make a rich seafood broth (think stock but made with the shells instead of beef or chicken bones)....

Why We Love This Garlic Aioli Recipe Creamy, dreamy, bright, and tangy goes-on-everything goodness. That is exactly how I describe my garlic lemon-herb aioli sauce every time I recommend it to friends and family… Which is often. And they always agree! I thought it was high time I brought this easy aioli recipe (that’s almost too simple to be considered a recipe) to the masses. You’re welcome! Although made-from-scratch aioli is a wonderful complement to many dishes, our easy aioli hack uses simple store-bought mayonnaise to make the most tantalizing dipping sauce, without having to work with raw eggs and oil....

I’ve been meaning to share this with you guys ever since last summer, but I guess this is meant for tonight’s New Year’s Eve celebration. (Warning: This part of the post might be a little too personal. So please bear with me.) Now that a decade has passed, I would like to see those years as a bittersweet one. I’ve fought a couple of hardships, celebrated some wins, lose a few dearests to me and welcomed some new ones....

Most are so simple, some are speedy, and ALL are totally delicious! That’s the diner thinking done for another week, then.. Another brand new weekly meal plan is here! You know the drill – 5 dinners, for 4 people and the total bill for this one is under £30. 🤩 As always, there’s loads of variety and there’s a strong focus on convenience, but despite this we’ve still got curry, pasta, a stir-fry and a pie!...

Before Cinco de Mayo celebration comes rolling in, I want to make sure that I’ve updated this blog post for your convenience. 🙂 The month of May tends to be a busier one for me in preparation for Cinco de Mayo Celebration (usually at my son’s school), Mother’s Day and my birth month (ssshh). Mexican Rice happens to be one my favorite rice recipes. It is so flavorful even without the add-ins....

Microwave Brownies are a thing and they ARE SO GOOD. They can be yours in under 30 minutes… Fudgy, gooey chocolate brownies microwaved in a flash. Who knew? A few months ago Panasonic got in touch with me and asked if they could send me one of their microwaves to try out. Honestly? I wasn’t entirely sure what thing thing would do for us that an oven didn’t. The model I have is a microwave, grill and convection oven combined....

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes Moong Dal Samosa is a vegetarian and vegan Indian snack. This bite-size samosa is stuffed with a unique dal filling. They are the perfect pre-make snack for the Indian festival celebration.

Ever been to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina? If so, you probably visualize expansive lengths of soft sand, carnival rides, massive shopping centers geared towards tourists, and of course, the boardwalk. These are all fun things you expect to find in any hoppin’ beach town. However on my recent trip to Myrtle Beach, my eyes were opened to experiences that many beach goers might not have discovered. Whether you are returning to Myrtle Beach and looking for new things to do, or heading to Myrtle for the first time, this list of alternative activities will give your trip extra wow-factor....

Eggless and easy to bake, these Indian cookies are ready in 30 minutes. They are a perfect teatime companion that can be munched on anytime....

I would say it is a complete meal on it’s own…don’t worry about sides or protein unless you are going all out!

So what sets this fried rice apart? The addition of thyme, curry, and liver (which is completely optional) but I love it in here....

These Caribbean Shrimp Burgers and this Healthy Caribbean Chicken Curry Sheet Pan Dinner are just a couple of examples of some of our favorite island-inspired recipes! We recently shared an authentic recipe for Jamaican Brown Chicken Stew, made with a thick and rich gravy plus lots of vegetables....

I love taking a stroll through a colorful farmer’s market and coming across some ripe passion fruit, sitting there all purple and inviting. It takes me back to lazy Sunday mornings with the family – I’d whip up some fluffy pancakes and cream and top it off with this delicious Passion Fruit Puree. Later, I’d use whatever was left over to make myself a well-deserved fruity cocktail and savor the golden purple sunset....

A homemade biscuit with only 3 ingredients?! Sign me up, buttercup! After the success of my 3 Ingredient Nutella Brownies recipe (the chocolatey DREAM), I set about searching for other super easy bakes that only involved a trio of ingredients. After a LOT of tweaking and testing (I made 250 biscuits in total during the testing process!), these easy Peanut Butter Cookies were created. They’re not only chewy and delicious, they’re also perfect for baking with children thanks to the simplicity of the method....

There are several recipes that you can make with any variety of dal. This recipe is very special to me. Pepper Dal is a popular style of dal prepared at the Venkatramana temple in my hometown, Karkala. No fancy ingredients are required to prepare this dal recipe. The unique flavor and spiciness in the recipe comes from sauteing whole peppercorns in ghee which are then crushed and added to the dal....

If you’ve been here since day one, then you know how much I love beef, especially steaks! (And that my husband is my total opposite). However, Filet Mignon was one of our “common denominators”. Who would not love a premium cut of beef filet, right? Can you imagine, it was even tagged as the safest cut to have. Meaning, wherever you got it, as long as it’s the filet, it’s tender....

The perfect condiment to spice up your meal! Pickled jalapenos have always been my favorite condiment. The tangy and spicy combination with a hint of sweet blends wonderfully with almost any dish and makes it more enticing and exciting. Also, the sourness and mild sweetness from the pickling juice add a new layer of flavor and balance the heat. So, if you adore spicy food like me, you’re definitely gonna love this one....
