It’s a quick, easy and delicious vegetarian family meal that’s ideal for everyone to tuck into. Have you ever cooked with orzo pasta? If not, where have you been my friends?! It’s shaped in tiny little grains, a little like rice. This means when it cooks it gives a kind of risotto vibe. It also cooks quickly and evenly with no faff, which of course we love. I’ve left this recipe meat free as I’m always trying to introduce more meat-free recipes to our dinners and I love broccoli....

Carne Asada Marinade Recipe With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I’ve been cooking up muchas recetas mexicanas en la cucina. (Many Mexican recipes in my kitchen.) I know, I know… Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States than it is in Mexico. And I realize it’s just an excuse for us to party with margaritas and queso dip. Yet as far as I’m concerned, any holiday worth celebrating should involve lively music and good food, so Cinco de Mayo has got my vote....

Why We Love This Hominy Recipe Really, casseroles are just about my favorite dishes to make and serve. Great for holidays, casual dinners, and large gatherings, a great casserole is A) easy to prepare and B) perfect to feed a crowd of hungry guests. This low-country Cheesy Hominy Casserole is filled with starchy hominy, peppers, cheese, and sour cream. The texture of harmony is similar to tiny cooked potato pieces or dumplings, so you get a fresh corn flavor yet feel like you are eating a potato comfort food… But with no peeling and chopping potatoes necessary!...

In India, teatime with various fried snacks and a cup of masala tea is a serious affair. This chilli bajji is a perfect snack to satisfy those fried food cravings during teatime.

Stuff them with spicy mashed potato filling and cheese (like we did), coat the chilli in a thick gram flour pakora batter, and deep fry until crisp....

The Best Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread with Lemon I love a good loaf of homemade zucchini bread. In my opinion, it’s one of the best ways to use up an abundance of the hearty summer veggie!

But for something on the sweeter side we decided to create our version of Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread with Lemon....

The Mini Egg Cheesecake recipe was going crazy and taking on a life of its own....

Tender pasta, zesty tomato sauce, savory meat, and ooey-gooey cheese all layered together and topped with bubbly extra cheese – what’s not to love? Our baked ziti with sausage has long been a top go-to recipe, made with a simple tomato sauce and ricotta cheese.

When do you usually eat fries? The first word that comes to my mind is hamburgers. I made smoked hamburgers and these Cajun fries at our last backyard picnic, and they were a huge hit. My son considers it a big treat when we go out for hamburgers and fries. And I have to admit that Five Guys Cajun fries are tempting. But as much as I enjoy eating out with my family, I love making homemade french fries even more....

Why We Love Crock Pot Pork Loin We’re serving up a delicious Crock Pot Pork Loin Recipe… But first, let me just say, I never get tired of simple crock pot meals.

Oh how those tides have turned. Let them try the chocolate I said. It’ll be fun I said. A special treat I said. Oh look how they seem to love it I said. Oh look how they sit beautifully and wait for it with excitement I said. 3 weeks later. I’ve created 2 chocolate monsters. My stroke of genius (or so I thought) was to call it “having a treat” instead of “chocolate”....

This bread can be served for lunch/dinner/breakfast. My family, especially my kids, loves this bread so much that I prepare it often at our house. They devour this bread whenever I add a slice of it to their snack box or lunchbox. Personally, I love the sweetness of the carrot and the texture of the bread. It is so versatile that it can be served for breakfast, as a mid-day or evening snack, or as an after-meal dessert....

Why We Love This Easy Popsicle Recipe Every little person loves homemade popsicles in the summertime… And big kids of all ages do, too! There’s just no tastier way to beat the heat than taking a big bite of a frosty frozen sweet treat. But what no one likes, is half of that ice pop going to waste as it melts all over the place. These brilliant kid-friendly freezer pops are made out of jello, so as they thaw they turn back into jiggly jell-o instead of instantly melting and dripping all over the place....

In Pakistan, plums are known as Aloo Bukhara. Mainly red plums, Aloo Bukhara, grow in huge quantities in certain parts of Pakistan during the summer. Too many to consume, the plums are preserved in assorted different ways. Dried plums are used in many popular recipes, such as my Kashmiri great-grandmother’s gosht-aloo-bukhara (beef-curry-with-plums), chana dal gosht (meat & lentils curry), and best mutton biryani recipe. Making homemade plum jam or preserve is a summer tradition in my family, started by my mother....

Fish Ceviche Recipe A Fish Ceviche Recipe (pronounced se-vee-chae) is one of those dishes we curious eaters often adore, while others find it a little daunting. It’s a raw seafood salsa. Or, more accurately, citrus-seared fish combined with veggies and herbs to create a light yet robust concoction similar to salsa. For those who are leery, the acid in the lime juice sort of cooks the fish over time, so you can feel adventurous eating “raw fish” without any of the worry!...
