How are you holding up, guys? I hope that the festive period has not taken too much of a toll on you? Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? Are they sticking? My main resolution is to take better care of my mental health. I’ve stuck to running 4 times a week (unfortunately 5 may have proved to be a bit too ambitious) and that consistency has had a massive impact on my mood already, so I am motivated to keep going....
And it’s almost Christmas again…how did that happen? We are spending our last evening in Krakow before we go to my parents. I’m down for helping my mum prepare some vegan dishes for Christmas Eve dinner, which is the most important meal of Christmas here. As we will spend the next 5 days cooped up inside, with a run (or a family walk maybe) thrown in for good measure, we are making the most of the thriving vegan food scene in Krakow before we leave....

WHAT IS HOMEMADE DAHI (YOGURT)? The 2-Ingredient Homemade Indian Dahi (Yogurt) is a classic staple, made with just two simple ingredients. It’s an essential side for many Pakistani and Indian recipes, like Biryani and Korma, where the perfect homemade dahi is key to bringing out the authentic flavors. In recipes like Sweet Lassi, Green Chutney Raita, or Biryani Raita, yogurt plays a key role in enhancing the flavor. This homemade, preservative-free yogurt is the perfect choice for a fresh, wholesome, and delicious experience....

What is Seekh Kabab Masala? After experimenting in my kitchen, I found the ideal ratios and ingredients to create the perfect Homemade Seekh Kabab Masala. Simply dry roast a few whole spices, grind them in a spice grinder, and then mix in the powdered spices. Voilà! At last, this Pakistani spice blend came together, allowing me to perfect my Beef Seekh Kabab and Chicken Seekh Kabab recipes. Thanks to the homemade Seekh Kabab Masala, this dish brings back memories of the Seekh Kababs from Burns Road in Karachi....
If you’ve been cooking with me for a while, you know that I have a thing for so called ‘buddha bowls’ and I thought it was high time for a new one. I love this very visual and uncomplicated way of eating where natural colours on your plate are an indication of how much goodness and nourishment your body is about to get. I hope you like mushrooms as grilled oyster mushrooms are definitely the star of the show here....
With a rich, coconut milk-based broth and a spicy curry kick, this recipe will quickly become a dinner favourite. Use more or less curry paste to adjust the spice level to suit your family’s palate and, if you like, you can add some fresh chilli at the end for extra heat. This dish is also wonderful with extra vegetables – see below for suggestions. Like most of my recipes, the laksa is made with simple, low-cost ingredients and is cooked in one pan so you don’t have to dread the washing up....
Salisbury steak is one of those ultra-comforting recipes that you can’t help but love. I mean, what’s not to love about it? Especially when it’s covered in a thick mushroom gravy and served with creamy mashed potatoes. It’s like a fast and easy version of meatloaf but WITH GRAVY. Can’t beat that! I grew up near a town called Salisbury in Massachusetts. When I was little, I used to think Salisbury Steak was named for that town....
This income report was written years ago, and the blogging industry has changed significantly since I wrote it. Please use this as a resource, but understand that many of the ad companies mentioned here may not be viable anymore, and that there are many more current options for monetization! I have a secret. I started this blog in January of 2014 with two intentions. The first (and most important): to help busy people cook at home more....
This recipe is another collaboration between me and my dad! A while back, I got to share his recipe for New England Fish Chowder, and you all LOVED IT. We’ve been planning yet another delicious (and easy!) fish recipe for some time now. Here it is – Cod en Papillote! So why should you consider cooking fish in parchment paper? There are three main reasons: In this post, I’ll explain how to make fish en papillote, along with two methods for wrapping the parchment paper packets....
Finally, we were lucky to experience some proper summer heat this week! Yesterday was really glorious, the skies were blue and it was hot with a nice, cooling breeze. I spend the day in my deckchair (my hammock is broken) with a good book in hand and heaps of delicious summer food – iced coffee, fresh strawberries, massive salad for lunch and a piece of this very fridge tiramisu slice for afters....
If you know me, you know I don’t like to play favorites with my food. I love all my food equally. Usually. But this soup changes everything I thought I knew. This is anything but your basic minestrone soup. It has all the main parts- veggies, beans, and pasta- but it’s so much more than that. First of all, it’s PACKED with good for you green veggies, including broccoli, zucchini, spinach, and cabbage....
Unless you are my husband, in which case, you don’t ever want baked potatoes. For some reason, Zach isn’t really a fan. I, however, LOVE them. And since he is off galavanting in the woods right now chaperoning a camping retreat for the seniors we teach, I’m jumping at the opportunity to make a baked potato for dinner. Yum yum yum. I like my baked potatoes with crispy, yummy, seasoned skin....

Hope you guys have had a good weekend?! We were both under the weather. Duncan was recovering from his ‘nose job’ (as he calls his sinus op) and I was nursing a cold, so we spent the weekend cooped up inside, eating food from our freezer and binge watching the new season of Orange Is The New Black 🙂 . It’s a shame as we were really looking forward to our weekend in Wales with friends, but we were in no state to socialise, so we had to cancel....

Tina (the cat) and I are on our own for the next two weeks as Duncan has set off to conquer the hills of Crete on his road bike. While I admire him from a distance, I’m quietly happy that I don’t have to put myself through anything that strenuous at the height of summer weather, especially that Crete has a reputation for absolutely relentless heat, even amongst the Greeks....
We’ve been down this road before, haven’t we? I swore that I was kicking sweet things to the curb and barely a week goes past and I’m at it again 😉 ! Oh well! I don’t think I’ve ever made my sweet tooth a secret, have I? Plus, to be honest, this particular dessert is a distant memory now anyway as I shot the photos a few weeks back, which is what I tend to do if I am in my well-organised mood, so technically I’m still TRYING to stick to my promise… Although I’ve just baked a cake…...
