I used to LOVE my coffee extra sweet and extra creamy. I’d load up on half and half (even milk wouldn’t cut it!) and add at LEAST a tablespoon of sugar to each mugful of coffee. My order at Dunkin’ Donuts would include extra extra cream and sugar. Yes, that’s two extras. But now? Now I crave ONLY black coffee in the mornings. I’ve trained my body to want pure, unadulterated coffee....

It was meant to be a sweet post today, but I came to my senses. I realised that if I post dessert recipes as often as I would like to, I will have to exercise twice as much as I do now. Still, I wasn’t quite sure what to do, loads of ideas where banging around in my head. I went to my local green grocers to get inspired. As soon as I saw a pile of young broad beans (still in their pods) I couldn’t resist getting shedloads of them....

Prepared pesto is, in my opinion, one of the best all-purpose ingredients you can use. You can buy it from the store already made or make it fresh in only a few minutes (I used my lemon arugula pesto, but you can use traditional basil pesto or even cilantro jalapeno pesto!). It’s a healthy sauce that’s super flavorful from a highly concentrated amount of fresh herbs and garlic, it has a great texture from the nuts that are added to it, and it comes together with good-for-you extra virgin olive oil....

I’m so excited to share one of my easiest TOP TRICKS to getting super delicious, rich flavor in countless recipes. The secret? Homemade chicken stock! But there are so many recipes out there that make such a production of it. Buy a whole chicken, buy specific veggies, and throw it all together to make stock. This is a COMPLETE waste of money and food. I make my homemade chicken stock FOR FREE from vegetable and chicken scraps I save in my freezer!...

This is my grandmother, Aggie’s, recipe, and it’s extremely simple. Some other recipes for Kourabiedes have egg, vanilla, baking soda, and other ingredients you find commonly in cookie recipes. Some recipes also include rose water or orange blossom water. My grandmother’s recipe is more like a shortbread, with only five ingredients – butter, powdered sugar, flour, almonds, and whole cloves. It makes for a delicious texture that’s somewhere in-between melt-in-your-mouth and satisfyingly crumbly, the warm flavor and aroma of the clove imbued throughout....

Mexican street corn (Elotes) is grilled corn on the cob, covered in a creamy chili lime dressing and cotija cheese. This pasta salad is a deconstructed version of traditional Mexican street corn, with a few tricks to get that smoky, grilled flavor without having to actually grill anything! The first trick: I added bacon. I had a bunch left over from making Breakfast BLTs a couple weeks ago, and was inspired by the recipe for a similar pasta salad on Chelsea’s Messy Apron that called for bacon....

Whether you are whipping this up for a quick weeknight dinner, a warming weekend lunch, or serving it as a healing broth to a family member who’s under the weather, I know you’re going to love this substantial, mealworthy soup and will always want some on hand in the freezer. (I definitely feel more secure when I have some ready to go!) This is also a low-stress dish for me that can bubble away on the stove while I get a few other quick chores done, and there’s almost no washing up required as you only use one pan....

Now, I know what you’re thinking: there’s no way that this is healthy. Well, if you are talking about using real, unprocessed, whole ingredients as healthy… then yes, it is! Besides a nominal amount of white flour used to thicken it (that can easily be omitted), this recipe is made from 100% real ingredients. If you’re talking about healthy as low-carb, then yes! Barely any carbs here. But if you are talking about “healthy” as in low-fat or low calorie… this recipe is not it....

Juicy peaches are one of my earliest travel memories. My parents have always been massive fans of travelling, and having kids or being trapped behind the Iron Curtain wasn’t going to stop them. Travelling wasn’t only way more difficult at that time, it was also prohibitively expensive, so there was lots of scrimping and saving in the lead up to the holiday and lots of economising during. The communist government stamped out any spontaneity....

I LOVE gnocchi. They are such delicious little pillows that hold up to literally anything. These gnocchi (I think that word is adorable, don’t you?) are fried in olive oil before adding the other ingredients, making them crispy and crunchy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. I used traditional store-bought potato gnocchi for this. It’s easy to find whole wheat potato gnocchi, if that’s your thing. Or, you can make sweet potato gnocchi or ricotta gnocchi from scratch if you’re an overachiever like I usually am :-) This seriously could not be easier to make....

A good warming curry is one of my favourite things to eat in cold weather. Being able to transform a bunch of everyday ingredients into a mouth-watering dish with a judicious use of spices feels like culinary wizardry. One day, I am hoping to be able to visit India and get some curry making lessons from a master. For now, I have to rely on my general cooking knowledge, experience of eating various curries over the years and a method of trial and error....

WHAT IS RAJMA? Quick 20-Minute Indian Rajma (Stovetop) is red kidney beans curry. It’s delicious and flavorful. It kind of reminds me of Indian version of chili. It’s made on a stovetop and packed with flavor in every bite. This recipe is purely originated in North India. This Indian dinner recipe reminds my husband of his childhood days he’d come home and his mother would make this recipe often. Rajma is also packed with protein and yet it’s a vegetarian recipe....
