About Lemon Rice Lemon Rice is a staple in many South Indian homes. It is made by mixing precooked short grain rice with a tempering of mustard seeds, chana dal, green chilies, dried red chilies, fresh ginger and curry leaves. It is a comfort food for many and is most commonly eaten for a meal. Lemon Rice has a delicate flavor of fresh lemon juice and a nutty aroma of the tempered ingredients like lentils, peanuts, spices and herbs....

Why use crabmeat if you can use the more classy lobster meat instead? Sure, it costs more, but we all know how much more delectable lobster is than crab. Plus, you can always use imitation lobster meat if you’re on a budget. The flavor won’t be the same, but it’ll still be delicious. These lobster rangoon are ridiculously crispy and crunchy on the outside, and sweet and creamy on the inside....

Hello from Italy! ?? I’m approaching my last week of this month long amazing experience that started in Tuscany with a food photography workshop and stretched through this beautiful country’s most important cities: Milan, Parma, Firenze, Siena, Rome, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and we are on our way to Venice. To say I’ve eaten very well (and gained a “few” pounds) is an understatement. I’ve had my fair share of pasta and pizza and gathered a lot of inspiration – as well as some recipes – for future blog posts....

Mocha is coffee and chocolate living in perfect harmony. Both flavors are able to coexist while somehow making the other taste even better. The cake itself is majestically moist and decadent. I can best describe it as a melt-in-your-mouth brownie sponge cake. It’s my vision of the perfect chocolate cake with a grown-up hit of espresso. Whether you need an impressive cake for a special occasion (this cake makes a fabulous birthday, anniversary, or Valentine’s Day cake) or are simply in the mood for a mouth-watering chocolate-smothered cake, this is the recipe for you!...

While the recipes on my list may not be the ones that broke the internet, they’re no less deserving of recognition. These recipes held a special place in my heart this year for multiple reasons. Some are easy, healthy, family-friendly recipes that would fit nicely among Your Favorite Recipes of 2022. Others are scrumptious sweet treats that I love making on repeat in my kitchen. One recipe is incredibly meaningful to me (in addition to being completely delicious)....

What’s the best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day? With a romantic breakfast in bed, of course. A touch of love for the first meal of the day really sets the tone for an awesome day. And for me, that love has one name: Nutella! I mean, who wouldn’t love waking up to warm, buttery French toast oozing delicious Nutella? I know I would! And if you’re the one making it – versus the lucky one who gets to be sweetly surprised – you will be happy to know that it is quite easy to make....

This baked chicken breast recipe has elements of an elegant meal—toasty, crunchy pecan crust; juicy, meaty interior; creamy sauce you can plate alongside it—yet requires less than a half-hour of active effort. It also feels fancy, without being too fancy. At the risk of giving myself away here, it’s essentially a grown-up version of my Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders. Translation: kids of all ages (and kids at heart) will love it!...

I grew up with a love of cinnamon rolls of all kinds. My Grandma Dorothy spoiled her family with her legendary from-scratch cinnamon rolls for as long as I can remember. To me, these will forever be the greatest cinnamon rolls in the world. On summer mornings and weekends, my sisters and I would pop open a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and devour the entire batch—no comparison to Grandma’s but convenient and delish....

My Grammy introduced me to roasted asparagus. She’d let me help snap off the ends to prep it for cooking. Later, when I was old enough, she passed me the potholder and let me wiggle the pan halfway through cooking so that the asparagus would roast evenly. I loved watching the asparagus spears roll in the olive oil, then caramelize under the oven’s heat. While Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Beets, and Roasted Broccoli took me until adulthood to embrace, savory fresh asparagus and I got along right away....

One of the most rewarding parts of cooking is seeing raw ingredients transform. It’s hard to find one whose transformation is more spectacular than roasted garlic (it’s even more wondrous Oven Roasted Vegetables!). I do not mean to belittle raw garlic or sautéed garlic. In any form, garlic is an essential aromatic for everything from Garlic Shrimp Pasta, to soups and stir fries, to Feta Dip, and well beyond. Roasted garlic is its own supreme being....

FOR THE FULL LIST OF INGREDIENTS AND COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE SEE THE PRINTABLE RECIPE CARD AT THE END OF THIS POST. BEFORE YOU SCROLL, THIS POST IS FILLED WITH HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE. Was anyone else traumatised by eating canned asparagus spears growing up or was that just me? I wrote off asparagus well and truly and it wasn’t until my last 20’s that I finally tried fresh asparagus for the first time....

I have plenty of potato substitutes here on Wholesome Yum, from mashed cauliflower to jicama fries, and of course roasted potatoes are always an easy side dish loved by all.

Roasting sweet potatoes requires only a few ingredients and my kids absolutely love them — your family will, too....

Roasted turkey breast is one of my favorite dishes, not only for Thanksgiving, and I am constantly experimenting with new cooking techniques and flavors for it. This recipe is definitely one of the best roasted turkey breast recipes I’ve ever tried. Ah, the wonders that garlic, butter and fresh herbs do to lean white poultry meat… Prepared this way, the breast meat comes out of the oven very tender and moist, which is a huge accomplishment with such a lean type of meat....

(Today’s post is sponsored by Rioja Wines.) The holiday season is in full swing. Before you know it, your kitchen will be pumping out glorious platters of food and your dining room will be bustling with friends and family from near and far. A great dish to serve at your holiday party is this Rosemary and Garlic Roast Beef. Tim and I had it for Thanksgiving since we had the turkey I made for the blog a few days before T-day and I know we’ll be having turkey for Christmas....

This Asparagus Egg Toast looks simple, but do not be deceived. The combined effect of the toasty bread with the creamy scrambled eggs and lightly crispy Roasted Asparagus (or Air Fryer Asparagus) is far greater than any single part. I want to be clear that Ben’s aversion to this Asparagus Egg Toast has nothing to do with the recipe and everything to do with the fact that, for whatever mysterious reason, he doesn’t like eggs at dinnertime....

This recipe is sponsored by ALDI While shrimp might not be the first protein that comes to mind when you think of a burger (Italian Turkey Burgers or even black bean Vegan Burgers tend to be mentioned first), the texture of shrimp makes it ideal for forming patties that you can pack with a heap of mix-ins and spices, without the need to add breadcrumbs or any other binders. Fewer binders = better, more powerful shrimp flavor....
