This chicken drumsticks recipe is quite amazing. There is no baking required here. This is very helpful as you don’t need to waste time preheating oven. I find that in most cases for best results you need to pan-sear meat on the stove and finish baking in the oven. This way the meat won’t dry out on the inside from unidirectional heat of a pan. But that’s not necessarily the case with chicken wings and chicken drumsticks....
This month, I’m sharing a new, delicious, and nutritious smoothie recipe every week (don’t miss the fab Green Smoothie or Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie that kicked us off!) because they’re such an easy, fuss-free, and yummy way to sneak more servings of fruit and veggies into your day. And “easy” is the most alluring quality whenever we’re seeking to add a few healthier habits into our lifestyle. Many types of fruits are good in smoothies – strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and bananas are popular and easy to find....
These pecan pie bars melt in your mouth. Every time I took a bite, I couldn’t believe a dessert this seemingly rich and thick could dissolve on my tongue as if by magic. The buttery shortbread crust is tender but sturdy enough to pick up with your fingers. It tastes like a cross between my Darn Good Whole Wheat Pie Crust and the most excellent shortbread cookie.The filling is lush with maple and brown sugar and positively chock-a-bloc with deeply toasty, crunchy pecans....
The first time someone passed me pineapple casserole was the first holiday I spent with my in-laws. I was horrified. Cheese and warm PINEAPPLE?! What was this abomination? Already feeling homesick for our family’s traditional holiday recipes, like Glazed Sweet Potatoes and Crockpot Mashed Potatoes, I was now going to have to pretend to like this absurd dish. I took a tiny, toddler-sized bite, and…oh my heavens, pineapple casserole is wonderful....
Chivda In Indian bakeries and stores you will find numerous brands selling Poha Chivda. There are different styles of making it. We don’t buy the store bought ones since we don’t know the quality of ingredients used, especially the oil. At home we have the liberty to choose the best ingredients, mostly organic and can also customize to our taste. For healthier option, you can roast the chivda in a pan or in oven as it needs very little oil....
Adam was away for work recently, and I found myself living by myself for the first time ever. I can’t say I enjoyed it. I rather enjoy his company and the house was much too quiet for my liking. But there was one thing that was much easier while he was away - meal times! I only had to feed myself for the whole week. Adam is fussy when it comes to food....
The recipe shared here is from my Mum who prefers to mill the ragi for making rava and then using for this upma. But I have seen it being sold in many places in South India and even in Singapore. To make this upma, I have made my own ragi rava which I will share soon. For more ragi recipes, you can check this collection of 18 ragi recipes on the blog....

Red sauce pasta recipe is generally made using only tomatoes. Mostly canned tomatoes or tomato paste/ puree is used to get the bright color. Making this red sauce pasta recipe entirely using only tomatoes will make it very tangy. So you can use either onions or bell peppers to balance the tang from tomatoes....
One thing that restaurants do really well and that we home chefs don’t, is make use of various sauces. I am not talking about BBQ and hot sauces that come out of the bottle. We use a lot of those here. No, I am talking about really simple, tasty sauces that can be made in minutes and served with that hunk of grilled or pan-seared meat. When was the last time you pan-seared your steak and then used the fat and the bits of meat left on the skillet to make a reduction sauce?...

Ummmmm…..looks like we both hit the jackpot! I hereby renege every disparaging word I’ve ever uttered about a Brussels sprout. Roasted Brussels sprouts not only are a far cry from the boiled green little monsters that may have scared you away in the past—they are downright delicious. (I love them in this Sautéed Brussels Sprouts recipe.) These roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic are crispy on the outside and tender and caramelized on the inside....
I have to admit, I wasn’t always a pork lover. Gimme oven baked bacon any (every) day of the week, but other cuts of pork… I wasn’t a fan. But readers were asking me for more keto pork recipes, so who am I not to oblige? 😉 I’m pleased to say, this baked pork tenderloin recipe, and later pan seared pork chops, have turned me into a growing pork fan....
Mughlai Cuisine has given the world some culinary wonders and Shahi Paneer is no exception. This dish is a creamy blend of textures and is not very hot or fiery like this Kadai Paneer. Like Paneer Butter Masala and Paneer Makhani, this is one of those mild vegetarian curry that is a refreshing change from all the spice and heat of other sides and mains. If you’re searching for a recipe to impress family and friends for a luncheon or dinner party, this dish has all the elements of an enticing side....
(This post is sponsored by Crock-Pot®. All opinions are my own!) Oh, fall! My favorite season! Beautiful foliage, pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, sweaters, boots and the wonderful smell of something baking in the oven. It is also the time of year when your oven’s real estate is at a premium. Want to bake a cake? Ha! Get in line. The turkey and the roasted potatoes got here before you!...
Let’s be honest; it’s pretty unique and hilarious. But the ingredients in these treats are to die for! They’re made with cookie dough, Oreos, AND brownies? Wow! I know I should say, “No,” but my heart is screaming, “Yes!” It’s impossible to resist whipping up a batch of these babies. Slutty Brownies Recipe So, why the name? Well, they were initially known as the ultimate chocolate chip cookie n’ Oreo fudge brownie bars....
Summers are for going to the beach, BBQs, picnics, hanging by the pool, visiting the neighborhood ice cream shop at least once a week (Tim is worried the woman who works there will soon know us by name! ?) and making delicious chilled soups that require no stove or oven. Ideally! But in reality, summers are for doing some of these things, but mostly it’s Olivia hanging by the AC 24/7, having nightmares about the electricity bill and regretting not getting a membership for the community pool....
Omelette is a dish that has connections to many different cuisines around the world.

The one thing that rings true about the omelette is that it is made from beaten eggs that are cooked in a skillet or frying pan until firm. They are usually served folded over with some sort of filling....
