Purists might frown at the idea of using a boxed mix to make cornbread muffins, but you have to give this recipe a chance. I promise you won’t regret it. Boxed muffins are usually dry, but not this one. The addition of butter makes it ultra-moist and rich! The flavor and texture? Oh my goodness, it’s so good I could cry. The key is to not follow the instructions on the box....

It tastes so much better than the stuff from the store, you’ll never go back....
For the uninitiated, Vindaloo is a Goan dish that was derived from the Portuguese “Carne de Vinha D’alhos’ & tweaked by Goans to match the local taste buds. Carne de Vinha D’alhos translates to “meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic”. During the 15th Century, Portuguese sailors who were exploring India brought with them wooden barrels consisting of pork meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic. Since wine-vinegar was not available in India, Goans marinated their meat in coconut palm wine (toddy)....

The first time I made this hot chocolate, I had to double check if I had used sugar free chocolate. It tasted better than a lot of the hot chocolates I had tried in my life, so I was baffled that this was low carb/sugar free! I guess I was just conditioned to think “sugar free” means “not as delicious” or even “disgusting”. Oh boy, was I wrong! This newly forced low carb lifestyle has been teaching me a lot....

This recipe is a no fail one and needs no string consistency, while the burfi can become powdery or may not set well, if one goes wrong with the string consistency. Do try this healthy Easy Diwali Sweet Recipe. I have used organic brown sugar cubes this time; you can use white sugar or brown sugar or even jaggery....
Pancakes recipe Homemade pancakes shouldn’t be complicated. It doesn’t matter if they come out wonky or with a splotchy surface instead of being a beautiful, even golden brown – after all, they’ll get smothered in toppings. But they should be soft and fluffy. And in my world, not too sweet. Because….you know. Toppings. Load up on toppings! Any day starting with homemade pancakes is a GREAT day! What goes in homemade pancakes This is what you need:...
I don’t know about you but my freezer is valuable real estate. So when I opened it the other day to realise that my bag of bread crusts were taking up an inordinate amount of space, I decided I needed to do something about it. More croutons? More breadcrumbs? I needed neither. Besides, the bag of bread crusts was substantial (from an “English afternoon tea” and several attempts to create these Mini Quiche Toast Cups) and neither of those two options would use up more than a few cups....

Old fashioned pea salad is a Midwestern potluck/family reunion/parish cookbook stalwart. These classic creamy pea salads of the past are made with bacon, a mayo-based dressing, and red onions. Some versions include cheese; others are made with ranch dressing. If you can’t tell, we have a rather liberal definition of “salad” here in the Midwest ;-). Grape Salad would know. For today’s recipe, I wanted a more modern take on the creamy pea salad with bacon that I grew up seeing at summer gatherings....

Peanut Sauce for Stir Fries This Peanut Sauce for stir fries is one of those gems that belies the short list of simple ingredients....
DID I MENTION THE CARAMEL POOL? This easy dessert recipe truly is magic! I realize that calling a pecan pie cobbler (or any dessert) “magic” might not have the same persuasive oomph coming from someone who is prone to superlatives (for the record, this Vegan Apple Crisp really is the best fruit crisp EVER. This Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler is the best easy fruit dessert; the Pumpkin Pecan Pie is the best pumpkin pie, etc....
Looking back at that culinary experience, I’m not sure which impresses me more: our resourcefulness (that dorm kitchen was equipped with little beyond a rusty pot and a few forks “donated” from the dining hall) or our audacity—we made vodka sauce on a campus that doesn’t allow vodka. After one bite, we felt validated. The pasta tasted creamy, glorious, and absolutely worth the risk! When I think of meals that are “worth it” penne alla vodka is the epitome....
