These are absolutely the best baked BBQ chicken thighs I’ve ever made or tried anywhere. They are fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy inside, covered by a layer of crispy skin, which in turn is covered by deliciously caramelized, in some spots even slightly charred, BBQ sauce. It’s hard to believe that they are not grilled. Only lack of smoky flavor is what really gives away the fact that these chicken thighs are baked, not smoked....

Today’s post is dedicated to my dear friend Laural, one of my best taste testers for this blog. Laural and I work together and the other day she was complaining about beans. She said that she loves beans, but they make her feel bloated. I told her that I had the perfect recipe for her, and promised to send it to her as soon as possible. However, since these days my whole life revolves around this blog (even our weekly menu is based on the blog), I decided to make a post for those delicious Brazilian Style Beans so I can share it not only with Laural, but with all of you!...

But all of them do take some time, as the nuts and seeds are roasted, cooled and then ground. So this simple brinjal curry comes to rescue when you are longing for something quick and simple. You can also easily make variations to the basic recipe I have shared here. For a simple Indian meal, serve it over rice or with any Indian flatbreads of your choice like roti or parathas....

As you might have guessed, brookies are a combination of brownies and cookies. With these squares, you get two desserts in one. The only thing missing is a glass of warm milk.

But since butter only lasts for 4 months in the fridge, I like to freeze it instead, to preserve its lifespan for much longer. Yup, you read that right! Butter keeps well in the freezer, as long as you store it properly. What’s even better is that freezing butter won’t affect its taste or texture at all. The only issue, if you can even call it that, is that it takes a while to soften....
