I spent a month after college traveling through India, a country whose colors, people, and cuisine still captivate my memory and imagination. Paneer tikka masala is one dish I still crave regularly (along with Potato Curry). Since I can’t pop back over to India any time my craving strikes, I have to try and bring the flavors of India to life in my kitchen. I don’t have easy access to a mega-market of Indian spices (or the time to toast and grind the whole spices like in an authentic paneer tikka masala recipe), so this is my adaption....

We didn’t grow up eating parsnips, and the first time I saw one at a farmers market, I thought it was some kind of rare albino carrot. After being informed by the producer that albino carrots were, in fact, a figment of my imagination, I was advised to take some parsnips home and roast them just like Baked French Fries. I took her advice and have been smitten since. Many people overlook this tasty root vegetable, which is a pity because they are delightful and really do deserve a larger place on our plates....

By now, you’ve probably noticed I adore passion fruit. This pie is at the top of the list of my favorite passion fruit recipes, along my Passion Fruit Mousse and Passion Fruit Curd! This passion fruit dessert will steal the show! I. Can’t. Stop. Eating. This. Pie! Please, send help. And by help I mean company, so I have an excuse to eat another slice! After all, I can’t have my guests eating alone....

The unique thing about this pie is the caramel filling made with condensed milk. Simple to make, no thermometer, it sets softly and has a creamy mouthfeel. Watch the video and drool! Peanut Butter Pie with CARAMEL! Caramel, peanut butter and chocolate: Three of the greatest inventions known to mankind, bundled up into a pie that has your name written all over it. It tastes like a cross between a Snickers Bar and Caramel Slice, with a good hit of peanut flavour and irresistible crunch from the chocolate cookie crust....

FavoritePinShare Peppermint Meringue Lollipops are crunchy on the outside with a soft and chewy middle, and a peppermint flavor that is sweet and refreshing. They are the cutest dessert to grace your holiday table and are so fun to make with family and friends! I love fun and unique desserts.

FavoritePinShare Hi!! It’s Jenn, from Eat Cake For Dinner, back to share another really really yummy and totally versatile recipe with you. I first had a cake like this a few months ago when a co-worker brought it to work to share. It was so dang good and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. I have since made several different versions with Pineapple being the latest. It starts out with a cake mix....

If you are new to Indian regional cuisines & wondering What is Poha? Poha is flattened rice that is steam cooked with onions, spices and herbs. The word “poha” refers to the flattened rice itself and as well the dish made with it. These flattened rice flakes are also known as parched rice or beaten rice. They are considered to be nutritious & wholesome as they are got by minimally processing paddy....

I spent the better part of middle school fantasizing about my life as a musical (and about a never-ending supply of Brownie Bites). An appropriately directed breeze would blow my hair attractively at all times.Backup dancers would materialize on command.And I’d (obviously) sing duet across from the hunk of the class. As an adult, my musical fantasies now occur in the kitchen and I’m happy to announce the first act: “We go together like rama lama lama pumpkin cheesecake brownies....

Impressively high in protein and fiber and flaunting some serious Mediterranean flavor flair, these powerhouse patties are fresh, filling, and exactly the meal you should make this week. My biggest, erm, beef with most of the quinoa burgers recipes I’ve tried is that they are so inexcusably meh. Even Trader Joe’s quinoa burgers don’t quite meet my expectations. If a recipe makes the sacred claim of being a “burger,” it best live up to the designation: a mighty-flavored, two-handed, can’t-stop-won’t-stop affair....

Red velvet is hugely popular in the US. I remember watching one of those reality shows about a popular cupcake shop in the US (I think it was in Georgetown in Washington) and the owners said that the most popular cupcake by a long shot was Red Velvet. Australia hasn’t quite caught on (yet!). Red Velvet is always a staple at cupcake shops, but they aren’t the most popular. When I offer to make cupcakes for birthday parties, no one ever asks for Red Velvet!...

FavoritePinShare Happy New Year! I hope that you had a wonderful holiday! We spent the day taking down Christmas decorations. It is always a sad time for me to see that the holidays are over, but January is a breath of fresh air. The start of a New Year and new goals.
