This lemon glaze recipe is my favorite way to make everyday baked goods feel a little bit more special. With just 2 ingredients, it’s amazingly easy to make (just add them to a bowl and stir!), and the minimal effort is always worth it. It looks so pretty on top of a loaf cake, cookies, or scones, and it gives them an extra pop of sweet, zesty flavor. I’m sharing some of my favorite recipes to pair with it in the post below....

If you love sweet potatoes, you will love this easy recipe! These are just as easy as making regular mashed potatoes. Sweet potatoes already have a silky smooth texture, which makes them incredibly delicious when mashed. These incredible mashed sweet potatoes are savory, but I’ve shared a sweet variation below the recipe! Key Ingredients Sweet potatoes: Sweet potato mash is best with red or orange sweet potatoes (not the purple or tan varieties)....

This acorn squash recipe with brown butter is one of my favorite fall recipes. It’s ridiculously simple to make and looks stunning on the table! The brown butter is absolutely delicious with the sweet cranberries, nutty walnuts, and the sweet and savory acorn squash. Our readers have been making it for years, and many have even saved it as one of their favorite Thanksgiving recipes. For more delicious winter squash recipes, try our cinnamon roasted butternut squash or parmesan roasted delicata squash....

If you love chili, I am begging you to try this white chili! We have a few chili recipes on Inspired Taste, from traditional beef chili to Texas red chili and this turkey chili. But this white chicken chili has a special place in my heart because it calls for one of my favorite ingredients: green chiles! Our white chili recipe uses canned Hatch green chilies, white beans, and tender shredded chicken....

Guess what? Our blog is just about 1 year old and I finally have enough posts to do a proper roundup. So here are some of my top favorite fall recipes… and perhaps some Thanksgiving inspiration. (Click on the images to go to the recipes)

Simple Feel Good Food has been out for almost two weeks! It’s been such a joy to see what you’ve been cooking from it. Tell me, do you have a favorite recipe so far? I want to know! Share your answer in the comments below. Speaking of favorite recipes, tons of readers have asked me what my favorite recipe is! It’s impossible to pick just one, so I’m taking today’s post to spotlight a few....

This focaccia recipe is our favorite bread to bake at home. We love it because it’s soft and pillowy in the middle, crisp and golden around the edges, and filled with rich flavor from olive oil and sea salt. And that’s just the start! The #1 reason we love this focaccia recipe is that it’s so easy to make. When Jack first started baking bread (15+ years ago now!), he made lots of rustic ciabatta loaves....

This French toast bake was my solution to a pressing problem. When I make a big, decadent brunch, I want French toast to be on the menu. I mean, eggy bread that’s soft in the middle, crisp around the edges, and warmly spiced with cinnamon… what’s not to love? But here’s the thing: French toast is a perfect breakfast for two. When I make it, I enjoy flipping slice after slice until I have a stack that’s big enough to serve just me and Jack....

Before I started making this batch of gajar ka halwa, I had a distinct idea how I wanted it to taste. I wanted the carrots to play main character, for the flavour of ghee to shine through, for the sweetness to be an undertone, and for there to be a nice crunch and texture from the nuts and raisins. I eyeballed measurements and added as I went, so consider the recipe below an approximation (as you should every recipe in here, actually)....

A lot of my Indian recipes, especially pulao and biryani and some sweets, call for ghee or clarified butter. Ghee almost unites all of India food-wise because there are very few foods consumed all over India with the same amount of gusto as ghee! Although many brands sell different versions, nothing beats the simple and aromatic ghee made at home from butter. Ghee is another one of my maternal grandmom’s specialty....

This grilled sweet potatoes recipe was a game changer for me. I love sweet potatoes in all forms – baked sweet potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries, salads, tacos, etc. But almost every one of my favorite ways to cook them requires cranking the oven and heating up the house. In the fall and winter, that’s a major win. In the summer? Well, not so much. With this grilled sweet potatoes recipe, I’ve finally found a way to get my summer sweet potato fix....

I keep a pretty full pantry (to say the least). I love to have a variety of oils, vinegars, grains & nuts on hand… but every now and then “on hand” becomes completely out of hand. This little sauce came about one day when I was cleaning out my shelves and found five separate stashes of hazelnuts. Some were newly purchased, some were tucked waaay in the back. Also, back beyond my immediate reach was a still-pretty-new-yet-forgotten-about jar of tahini....

This healthy zucchini bread is a delicious breakfast or summer snack. I should know, because I’ve just finished my [redacted] slice of the season, and I don’t see my healthy zucchini bread consumption slowing down anytime soon. 🙂 Like a traditional recipe, this healthy zucchini bread is moist, tender, and warmly spiced. It’s PACKED with zucchini, of course, but it also features a few other good-for-you ingredients that you wouldn’t find in a regular loaf....

Heavenly Sesame Potatoes in Sweet Tomato Sauce Ingredients: Serves: 2 2 large potatoes, cut into wedges (I used russet potatoes) 1 large onion, chopped fine 2 tomatoes, sliced into small pieces 1 small capsicum (or half of one), chopped fine 2 tsp soya sauce 1/2 tsp brown sugar or honey (white sugar is also fine) 1 tsp crushed garlic (or 1/2 tsp garlic paste) 1 tsp red chilly powder 2 tbsp gingelly / sesame oil (must use this oil) Salt to taste Coriander leaves or spring onions, for garnish How to make Honey Chilli Roasted Potatoes:...

Nowadays, spiralized zucchini noodles are easy to find at the store, but they’re so much better when freshly cut. Curly & long, they seem like a natural pasta substitute, but let me tell you – these fresh, vibrant veggie noodles can do so much more than sub in for spaghetti! I add them to soups, salads & pasta salads, and even layer them into lasagna. They may seem intimidating to make at home, but with the right tools (spoiler alert: a spiralizer isn’t always necessary!...

While I have no issues adding cream to my dishes (paneer butter masala, anyone?), I decided to make a version of this recipe with no cream by using or white melon seeds. You can very well use cashew nuts instead but I loved the nuttiness of melon seeds in my paneer makhani so decided to use up the rest in this methi matar malai recipe – or should I say methi matar no malai....

My ideal Valentine’s Day would involve staying in and making this mushroom risotto recipe. My husband Jack LOVES mushrooms, and I love making risotto for date nights. They’re those rare occasions when you actually want to stand at the stove, stirring and stirring and stirring, because you’re also spending time with someone you love. The fact that all that stirring results in a comforting, flavorful meal is just the cherry on top....

We roast delicata squash slices with melted butter, parmesan cheese, and garlic. Since we roast the squash slices on top of the cheese and garlic, they melt down to create a lovely, cheesy crust on the bottom of each slice. They look beautiful and taste amazing. We served this to a good friend who isn’t the biggest winter squash fan, and she loved it! For more roasted squash recipes, see our cinnamon roasted butternut squash or this roasted acorn squash with cranberries....

This sautéed spinach with garlic is one of my favorite spinach recipes on the blog. It’s quick and easy and goes with almost any main dish. If you have never sautéed spinach before, you need to start. As fresh spinach leaves cook in the pan, they wilt, turn tender and become sweet. Key Ingredients Spinach: I use fresh spinach leaves. Baby spinach is fine, or use larger bunches of spinach leaves often sold at farmer’s markets or grown at home....

The screwdriver is a classic cocktail perfect for brunch or casual get-togethers. It’s super easy to make with just two ingredients: vodka and orange juice. I like to use a ratio of 2 parts vodka to 3 parts orange juice for a balanced flavor. Tips for making 1 or more drinks are below. I also love mimosas, which combine orange juice with champagne. Here’s my classic mimosa recipe. Key Ingredients Vodka: I love using a higher-quality vodka like Stoli, Ketel One, or Grey Goose....
