Today’s cauliflower tortillas are inspired by an old favorite. It’s confession time. Back in my high school days, Taco Bell quesadillas were my go-to fast food. The spicy jalapeno sauce was my favorite part. Nevermind all the processed ingredients those quesadillas were filled with – I wasn’t even thinking about that stuff back then. Sure, I still tried to get my veggies in, but looking at food processing wasn’t even in my radar....

Ever since ice cream was introduced to the general public at a French café in Paris in 1660, it has been a beloved treat for people of all ages. Although it was originally a delight only for the elite, its popularity spread quickly in the United States after the industrialization of dairy farming and the creation of new storage, pasteurization, and insulation technologies by the mid-1800s. It has become both vice and virtue, making us think of decadent desserts and innocent childhood pleasures....

Since coconut is widely grown in the coastal states of south India, it is one of the basic ingredients used in South Indian Cuisine.

There are a few different ways of making coconut chutney. Sharing the one which is made with just raw ingredients, no roasting but yet tasty....

Idli are easily digestible as the rice & lentils known as DAL are soaked, ground, fermented & then prepared by steaming the batter....

Maybe you know the kind of restaurant Italian chopped “salad” I mean? Chopped salads are ubiquitous at many Italian American restaurants. I remember a similar one at my own hometown pizza joint. If you are lucky, you’ll find a few pieces of lettuce (iceberg usually) here and there. They’ll be drowning in Italian dressing. Mostly, these Italian “salads” are meat, cheese, and more raw onions than a full pack of gum could hope to mitigate....

I used to make this Italian dressing chicken a lot as a student and people raved about it. They must have thought I had mad cooking skills. I let them believe that. To marinate or not to marinate, that is the question. I think chicken and especially chicken breasts definitely benefit from some marination. If all you have is 30 minutes, then marinate for 30 minutes. If you can marinate overnight, that’s even better....

If there was one food I really miss on keto, it would probably be croissants… they bring back memories of our honeymoon in Paris, and let’s be real, making a flaky dough to be an adequate keto butter croissant substitute is very difficult. Which is why this keto croissant recipe took me seven tests to get right… but it was worth it! I’m not going to lie, the texture of these keto chocolate croissants isn’t exactly like a white flour version, but they are still absolutely delicious, with a buttery yeast dough and a creamy chocolate hazelnut center....

These low carb pigs in a blanket are made with high quality sugar-free hot dogs and a fathead dough “blanket”, for a keto version that tastes just like the original.

So, I wanted to share this keto pigs in a blanket recipe to show you exactly how to do it....

Bone-in vs. boneless skin-on lemon garlic chicken You can use both skin-on, bone-in and skinless, boneless chicken in this recipe. I find that bones protect the meat from drying out just as much as the skin does. Chicken breasts are especially good for this recipe. Skin-on chicken breasts are normally sold as split breasts, with rib bones attached. So, leave them on. I know, it’s easier to eat a boneless breast but I’ll a pick juicer meat over convenience any time....

Lola here! My mom gave me permission to take over her blog today so I could tell you all about our awesome weekend in Woodstock, New York. A few weeks ago, my humans parents (Mom says it’s rude to call them “humans”!) decided Mom was too stressed with working two jobs – they needed to go on a mini vacation! Usually that means that I get to go spend some time with my older humans that have a better house grandparents, but one of mommy’s friends said we could all go stay at this cabin in Woodstock, NY....

We got together at a friend’s house for a Memorial Day barbecue last week. With the sun shining, chicken and brats on the grill, and everyone hanging out in the backyard, it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Watching my little girl running through the bright green grass with the other children put a big smile on my face. Sometimes the simple things are all you need. Of course, any get-together is an excuse for me to try a new recipe....

We use oats at least 3 to 4 times a week for making different foods like dosa, porridge, upma, pongal, khichdi, masala oats, sambar oats, pulihora. Most of these easy oats recipes are a good alternate to an elaborate meal. There are a few different ways I make oats uttapam, sharing all of them. You can use any kind of oats. If using rolled oats, powder them and use. If using quick cook oats with rice flour, they can be used without powdering too....

I participated in Mom Blog Tour Winter Fancy Food Show (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Saffron Road products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and the recipe are my own. Who’s ready to partaaaay? ☀️☀️☀️ The weather is finally amazing here in the East Coast and all I can think about is being outside. I know I will regret saying that when it’s 100 degrees outside and I’m huge and about to pop, but for now I will enjoy and the barbecuing and picnicking that I can!...
