I really like this vegetable. This is the first time I cooked with it and I have to say the results were wonderful. I used to think it is young broccoli but it more of a cross between chinese broccoli and mustard greens- that is how it tastes. There are some notes of asparagus as well...

I made this dinner a few days ago. When I made the applesauce- pork came to mind. So, I went to Trader Joes and purchased myself a pork tenderloin to serve with the sauce. I cooked the sauce with some shallots and garlic to make it a bit savory...

I impress myself sometimes when I come up with a great recipe. This is one of them. Yes, I know what you are thinking- she is not very modest. Well, I am my biggest critic and do know when something tastes really good...

Definitely make this for Thanksgiving. It is simply delicious- if I do say so myself. I had family coming over for a pizza party and I wanted to make a dessert. Since I am testing holiday recipes, I bought canned organic sweet potato puree from Trader Joes...

If you listen to any thing I say, please- please don’t buy the already made cranberry sauce. It is so simple to make and the homemade version is extremely delicious. Every year I buy fresh cranberries and every year while I cook them, I think why people buy the canned or the bottled version. ...

Okay, how many of you don’t like brussels sprouts? I know a lot of people who don’t and are not willing to try them. I personally love them and think that if you don’t like them- it means you haven’t eaten the right dish. This i...

This is one of the sides I came up for Thanksgiving dinner. I was in Trader Joes, as usual, and came across already peeled and cut up butternut squash. I am quite lazy and usually never pick up a whole one- so when I saw a package of organic cut up squash- I was thrilled...

I tried this recipe out just in time for the holidays. I used the applesauce I made a while ago and used all the holiday flavors I could think of...

This would be a perfect salad to serve for the Thanksgiving dinner. It has all the fall/holiday flavors going on. I have been using apples in everything I can. A friend was coming over for dinner and I was making lasagna. I decided to do a simple salad with sliced crunchy honey crisp apples...

I am in the holiday/fall mood and all I want to do is cook with all the ingredients that remind me of cold weather. Apples is one of those ingredients that makes me think of cosy evenings in my house with a cup of hot apple cider or eating a delicious hot apple crisp with some ice cream...

I am not sure how to describe this dish- it’s the epitome of everything I find delicious and nostalgic. Just thinking about it makes me happy. So when my Mom came to visit us, this was one of the things she cooked. ...

I have been hosting Thanksgiving for a few years now and love every moment of it. We don’t have too many people, around 10-15. Even though it is not a big crowd, it still ends up being a lot of work and quite hectic. I don’t end up making the same things every year. I ...

My daughter was having a sleepover and she was extremely excited to have her friend sleep in her new full sized bed. She wanted me to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. I started thinking how to make them since I wanted to do something different with them...

This is a quintessential Indian dish served at all the North Indian restaurants. It is definitely one of my favorite lentil dishes. A lot of people think it is very difficult to make at home but it really isn’t. Every Indian household has a very different way of cooking dal makhani. ...
