Chef Richard created this easy shrimp marinade recipe. We wanted something bright, zesty, and a bit spicy, and he delivered! It features some of my favorite ingredients: ginger, fresh lime, fish sauce, and toasty sesame oil. We let the shrimp marinate for 30 to 60 minutes. No longer, or the acidity will start “cooking” them. This marinade is great for shrimp, chicken, tofu, or beef. It’s quick, easy, and always makes me happy....
The first time I made this recipe, I was doing what I love most: cooking with what I have on hand. I had some sweet potatoes on the counter, a little mango salsa in the fridge, and half a jar of pickled onions that needed to be used up. I grilled the sweet potatoes (because who wants to roast or bake them in the summer?), spread them on a platter, and started piling things on top....

It would be hard to overstate how much I love spicy mayo. Maybe you can relate? It’s creamy, it’s zingy, it’s full of fiery spice. How could you not want to eat it on sushi, let alone tacos, veggie burgers, or a side of French fries? Like many people, I first started eating spicy mayo at restaurants, but for years now, I’ve been making my own at home. It’s just too good to save for when you’re out to eat, and it also happens to be super easy to make!...
I bet if you checked our fridge any day of the week, you would find goat cheese. We love it. We eat it as is, cook with it, spread it, pour honey over it, smoke it and do whatever we can to eat it! This recipe is a fantastic excuse to add some goat cheese to your fridge, don’t you think? How to Make Creamy Rigatoni The rigatoni pasta actually gets a little bake time in the oven before serving....
I’m slowly becoming a baked potato lover, but not just any baked potato lover. I still can’t get behind white baked potatoes slathered with sour cream and butter, but I could eat these mega stuffed sweet potatoes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Case in point, as I started writing this post, I went and polished off the leftovers I was saving for my lunch… for breakfast. I’m telling you, I have no self-control sometimes....
There are so many reasons to love this summer tomato galette, but one of the biggest is that it will make your kitchen smell amazing. I mean, it’s not surprising. Roasted tomatoes create a pretty tempting aroma on their own. Add buttery pastry to the mix, and OF COURSE you’re going to be glued to the oven door, anxiously waiting for the minute you can take this tomato galette out of the oven and taste your first slice....
That’s it my friends, my words of wisdom are ending there. Make this easy tomato rice, serve it to loved ones, refrigerate some so you can pack it for lunch the next day.

We wanted to try regular vegetables, rice, and dal. The steamer comes with 2 oval-shaped containers with large-ish holes at the bottom that allows steam in from the water you need to pour in at the lowest level. The holes will allow dal to fall through so you need to use another container to hold it. We put some cut and washed cauliflower and beans together to steam along with a small container of soaked toor dal to be used in rasam....
PinThis is a super easy cheats version of biryani that I normally make in my rice cooker but you can also use a pressure cooker for it, of course. During my post partum days, I had switched to smaller, more frequent meals and always had a cup of mixed vegetables with rice or couscous before bed. This vegetable paneer biryani was born out of that need. I made a medium portion and had it over 3 days and it was truly delicious with the right amount of spice and flavours....
Happy long weekend! I hope you all have some exciting 4th of July plans! And what I really mean by that is I hope you have more exciting plans than we do. We’re pretty jet lagged so we’ll probably be celebrating the red white and blue on the sofa with some Orange is the New Black. However, if I DO get up the energy to cook, I think this would be such a delicious veggie-forward summer menu: Pictured above: Baby Bella Veggie Kabobs Watermelon St....
How to Make Warm Apple and Cabbage Salad Most often, we see salads that are cool and crisp — take this apple and celery salad, for example. It’s packed with crisp apples, crunchy celery, and fennel. It’s delicious, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a warm salad in our lives every once in a while! For this warm apple salad, we lightly cook apples and cabbage with some garlic and celery....
I had this bar of white chocolate I had bought from Tokyo a year back and since I was in India, I could buy a pomegranate and bring it back with me! Things fell in place beautifully and one Saturday evening, these cupcakes were born. I searched a lot for a good white chocolate cupcake recipe and although there were quite a few that came up, I finally nailed one from Epicurious....

Have you ever tried adzuki beans? If you haven’t, you totally should. Like most bean varieties, they have a host of health benefits. They’re packed with protein and fiber, and they’re even said to promote heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Because of their small size, they cook quickly, and last but not least, they’re delicious! Their unique sweet, nutty flavor is at home in everything from hearty grain bowls to Japanese ice cream....
Have you ever caught yourself indulging in a guilty food pleasure so bizarre that you quickly checked to make sure no one was watching? Or perhaps you’ve whipped up a snack so unique when the house was empty, a food combination you’re not quite ready to share with the world? You’re not alone and might be surprised by what we have in common. We surveyed Americans to discover their most unexpected and unique food confessions....
I love Caesar salad. The best Caesar salad dressing is flavorful, tangy, and creamy. This homemade Caesar dressing gets high marks across the board! You can make this dressing by hand or using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. I’ve included directions for all of them below. Key Ingredients Egg yolk: I use raw egg yolks to make this traditional Caesar dressing. I also use fresh, local eggs (like when I make homemade mayonnaise)....
These vegan meatballs have been on repeat in our home lately. We all love them! Inspired by traditional Italian meatballs, they are made with garlic, Italian seasoning, and fennel for the best flavor. If you’ve tried our veggie burgers or black bean burgers, you know we are skeptical about substituting beans for meat. Just like those recipes, these lentil meatballs absolutely hit the mark. They taste meaty and are incredible served with a slice of focaccia bread on top of our veggie spaghetti or lower-carb zucchini noodles!...
When you don’t know what to make for lunch or dinner, what do you usually end up making? My go-to is the almighty quinoa salad! I usually have a batch of quinoa on hand in my fridge or freezer (note: quinoa freezes exceptionally well), which makes salads like this easy to put together at the last minute. Quinoa salads are a versatile way to show off the seasons, and this one is my little tribute to spring....
Chocolates? I am a bit careful when I get this for kids because I know parents who don’t introduce chocolates to their kids until they are about 10 or so. Yeah, really. Though I am super glad my parents didn’t think of something like this, I respect these parents’ decision. That’s when I decided to play it safe and bake something myself. TH may disagree about the ‘safe’ part but who listens to him anyway, right?...
