If you’ve never tried Irish soda bread, you are in for a treat. Don’t expect life-altering flavor complexity or a tastebud explosion—soda bread’s beauty is its simplicity. Classic Irish soda bread recipes combine wheat flour (I used whole wheat for the recipe, though all-purpose is more traditional) and buttermilk and are made to rise with baking soda instead of yeast. It also often contains caraway seed, whose flavor is more savory and reminds me of rye bread, and some recipes also call for dried currants, which taste like an enchanting cross between a raisin and a cranberry....

For the uninitiated, Vindaloo is a Goan dish that was derived from the Portuguese “Carne de Vinha D’alhos’ & tweaked by Goans to match the local taste buds. Carne de Vinha D’alhos translates to “meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic”. During the 15th Century, Portuguese sailors who were exploring India brought with them wooden barrels consisting of pork meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic. Since wine-vinegar was not available in India, Goans marinated their meat in coconut palm wine (toddy)....

The first time I made this hot chocolate, I had to double check if I had used sugar free chocolate. It tasted better than a lot of the hot chocolates I had tried in my life, so I was baffled that this was low carb/sugar free! I guess I was just conditioned to think “sugar free” means “not as delicious” or even “disgusting”. Oh boy, was I wrong! This newly forced low carb lifestyle has been teaching me a lot....

Do try this healthy Easy Diwali Sweet Recipe. I have used organic brown sugar cubes this time; you can use white sugar or brown sugar or even jaggery....

Old fashioned pea salad is a Midwestern potluck/family reunion/parish cookbook stalwart. These classic creamy pea salads of the past are made with bacon, a mayo-based dressing, and red onions. Some versions include cheese; others are made with ranch dressing. If you can’t tell, we have a rather liberal definition of “salad” here in the Midwest ;-). Grape Salad would know. For today’s recipe, I wanted a more modern take on the creamy pea salad with bacon that I grew up seeing at summer gatherings....

DID I MENTION THE CARAMEL POOL? This easy dessert recipe truly is magic! I realize that calling a pecan pie cobbler (or any dessert) “magic” might not have the same persuasive oomph coming from someone who is prone to superlatives (for the record, this Vegan Apple Crisp really is the best fruit crisp EVER. This Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler is the best easy fruit dessert; the Pumpkin Pecan Pie is the best pumpkin pie, etc....

Looking back at that culinary experience, I’m not sure which impresses me more: our resourcefulness (that dorm kitchen was equipped with little beyond a rusty pot and a few forks “donated” from the dining hall) or our audacity—we made vodka sauce on a campus that doesn’t allow vodka. After one bite, we felt validated. The pasta tasted creamy, glorious, and absolutely worth the risk! When I think of meals that are “worth it” penne alla vodka is the epitome....

I realize I’m likely to be condemned for high summer treason for what I’m about to suggest, but I feel it must be expressed: let’s skip the grill at our next barbecue. Before the High Court of All Barbecue strips me of my tongs and denies me access to all summer cookouts, please hear my plea. Yes, burgers are good (especially these Italian Turkey Burgers). Yes, a hot dog during June and July is a necessity....

With their flexible ingredients, ease of prep, leftover prowess, and all-around comfort factor, soups are one of the most important genres in my healthy dinner collection. From creative Curried Carrot Soup, to Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup or Chicken Gnocchi Soup, to fancy-feeling Mushroom Soup, there is a soup for any mood and occassion. When it comes to ultimate comfort, however, cheese and potatoes have magical powers (I love you Cream of Asparagus Soup, but it’s just not the same....
