I’ve been making low carb broccoli salad and broccoli cauliflower salad for years, but usually not with cranberries, since the store bought ones are full of sugar. Since I started making sugar-free dried cranberries recently, it was time to change up my broccoli salad recipe and add those in. After a couple experiments, this easy broccoli cranberry salad with bacon and walnuts has become a regular at our house. When I was looking for ways to use my new sugar-free dried cranberries, I was torn about what kind of cranberry salad recipes to make....

My mom is the queen of overnight layered salad recipes. I grew up on them.

Egg paratha is made in 2 ways. I have shared both of them – 1 in the recipe card and the other in step by step photos. The first method is popular in the North Indian states where egg mixture is poured inside the half cooked paratha layers. If you are a new cook then I suggest using the second recipe.

Frying full chicken breasts is usually a problem because lean breasts tend to dry out by the time they cook all the way through. This results in a dry, chalky texture that no one likes. Thankfully, I just discovered a method that allows frying full breasts in a matter of minutes and the meat comes out exceptionally tasty, tender and juicy. What makes this fried chicken breast so special? There are three things that work together in this recipe to create an amazingly tender and juicy fried chicken breast....

Tzatziki, or “tsah-see-key”, is a Greek cucumber yoghurt dip. It’s usually one of the first things I order when I eat at a Greek restaurant. I love to dip copious amounts of pita bread into it and of course, the more inside my lamb gyros the better. I’m almost ashamed to say that until recently I’d never tried to make my own. I was under the assumption that it would be quite difficult....

These easy chocolate muffins are healthy enough to feel good eating for breakfast before 8 a.m. (same with Chocolate Oatmeal!), yet taste indulgent enough to satisfy your sweet tooth at 8 p.m. I’ve been sneaking bites while I warm up my lunch (does that make them an appetizer too?), followed by more bites with my afternoon coffee (clearly, they are snack worthy as well).

Essentially, all you do is put all the vegetables, broth/stock and a dollop of tomato paste into a pot, bring it to a boil then that’s it.

Super-easy to make, and so very satisfying! Paneer – Fresh Indian cheese Paneer is a fresh cheese that is a common ingredient used in northern Indian (as well as other nearby countries’) cooking. Perhaps most well known is Palak Paneer, the iconic green spinach curry served with golden pan-fried paneer!
