Chipotle Pepper and Pepita Seed Pesto
In order to make this: I had to make this: It’s no secret that I love pesto. You could blend pretty much anything together and call it a pesto…and I’ll be in line to try it! I wanted to make a spicy chicken sausage pizza with the new Gold’n Plump Hot Italian Chicken Sausages (which […]
Pan Fried Chicken Breast with Rustic Herb Tomato Sauce
I’ve been super busy the past few days. I’m planning a baby-shower for my friend–Summer–for this Saturday, so I’ve been menu planning, shopping and crafting. I’ve also been occupied with my little gardens–which are finally almost completed! It was super-sunny outside, but I tried to click a few photos… I decided to plant my tomatoes […]
Easy Chicken Biryani with Cucumber, Carrot and Mint Raita
I absolutely love Indian biryani. It’s such a beautiful and comforting dish that is reminiscent of the rice hot-dishes (or casseroles…for all you non-Minnesotans out there) that I grew up eating as a kid–only a million times better! (sorry, Mom!). Biryani is simply basmati rice cooked with spices and meats (and/or vegetables). There are […]
Asparagus Soup with Tarragon and Chèvre
It’s no secret that I love chèvre (goat cheese). I’m always looking for ways to sneak goat cheese into my recipes…whether it be in a salad, a sauce or a soup. It’s even the “secret” ingredient to my mashed potatoes. Yum! The other night I was trying to decide what to make for supper. I didn’t […]
(Accidently) Spicy Vegetarian Cauliflower Curry…and a Trip to the Farmer’s Market
This past weekend was pretty dreary. It was cold, rainy and quite boring…actually. Piyush and I had intended on going somewhere fun for our anniversary; but because of the weather, we changed our plans and decided to stay home. Our actual anniversary is Wednesday–May 9. Three years have just flown by! So instead…Piyush did a […]
Easy Street Style Pav Bhaji Recipe
Across the United States, everyone has their favorite version of Chili–a thick stew made with peppers, beans (debatable), meat, tomatoes, and spices. My favorite version is Pav Bhaji. It’s an Indian style buttery, mashed vegetable curry served with spiced buns. And it is DELICIOUS. I know what you’re thinking. Pav Bhaji isn’t chili. And you’re […]
Lamb Curry with Apricots and Almonds
I love lamb. Although we don’t eat it often, it probably is my favorite meat–if it’s cooked right. Lamb is one of those meats that can be a little tricky to cook. Sure, you can toss it in a pressure cooker and cook it that way…but I just don’t think the taste is the same. […]
Caramelized Onion, Purple Potato and Pistachio Pizza
Lately, Friday night has become Pizza Night in our household. …Vegetarian Pizza Night, to be more accurate. I make the dough, sauces, and chop up all the toppings in the afternoon, let the dough rise for a few hours; and by the time Piyush and I are ready for dinner, all I have to do […]
Bengali Shrimp Malai Curry
This post and recipe have been updated on my new blog, Spiced up Mom. Please click the photo below to be taken to the new recipe! I have a confession to make. I am a judgmental, picky–sometimes even bratty–eater. I always have been. If something looks funny, I might still try it; but I make no […]
