Everyone loves chicken thighs, they’re always incredibly moist and tender especially when cooked in the Instant Pot. Similar to the Instant Pot Honey Mustard Chicken and the Instant Pot firecracker chicken, the chicken thighs here are cooked in a sweet but savory rich and sticky sauce. The key to this recipe is to sear the chicken thighs really well, just like you would sear them in a skillet. And that’s what gives this dish that lovely caramelized flavor that you will love!...

So yes, this girl loved her peas. She begged her Mom to add them into anything and everything they could possibly be added to. And if it weren’t for her two evil green pea loathing siblings, her Mom might have even given in to some of her hideously bizarre ideas. But then, like every fairy tale, good things started to happen to her. She grew up, moved out of home away from the evil siblings (okay, they’re not all that evil, but they do bug her some all of the time!...

I have a love-hate relationship with my pressure cooker. While most Indian home cooks swear by it to dish out family dinners every night, I often shy away from mine. I haven’t much gotten the hang of using one for cooking everyday Indian food. The problem for me is trying to keep track and remember how much time or how many whistles is needed to cook a particular food. I either simmer the dish for too long and turn it to mush, or release the pressure too soon and have to start all over again to get it completely cooked through....

I was a lifeguard in high school. In retrospect, all I can say to the mothers of young children out there is this: DO NOT TRUST 16 YEAR OLD LIFEGUARDS. They have no idea what they are doing and your children will drown. Okay so maybe it was just me. I’m a terrible swimmer, I always have been. But most of my siblings worked at the city pool, so I did too....

This Nutella Magic Shell is our favorite ice cream topping of all time, and that’s saying something. We take our ice cream sundaes very seriously around here. My kids know that when I say we’re having ice cream, that means sprinkles, hot fudge, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, cherries, whipped cream, and sprinkles and more sprinkles. And of course, this Nutella Magic Shell recipe. It’s so simple to make and fun to drizzle over ice cream of any flavor....

These Oatmeal Raisin Cookies hold a place near and dear to my heart. They were first published in 2020 when I made the announcement that my wonderful husband, Nathan, had left his left his position as a CTO to help me run my business and see where we can take it together. Since that announcement, my business has grown in the most beautiful way, and a huge piece of that is because of Nathan’s support....

Pain Perdu is French for… you guessed it… French Toast! Popular as a breakfast or brunch dish, this Pain Perdu/French Toast recipe also makes for a delectable dessert recipe, so you can have dessert for breakfast or vice versa. I mean, who would pass up sweet, summer peaches caramelized in butter and caramel sauce? Not me! Growing up in England, we simply called this ‘gypsy toast’ or ‘eggy bread’, but I never had such fancy toppings as this....

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram When my children are subject to a hair cut by yours truly, it erases any possibility of them being mistaken as “the cool kid” for a solid two weeks while the atrocity grows itself into something less-outrageous. Later when I rang the dinner bell, we couldn’t find him. That’s when we realized that he utterly refused to come downstairs. We could see him cowering on the landing in shame....

Sometime around when I was 16 - 17 years old, was when I probably had my first Pizza ever in my life. It used to an exotic and a premium food to look out for. When my parents relocated to Chennai - a place in the South of India, just after my 10th Std was when my exploration began. The peer group makes a lot of transformation in a person that one totally learns to adapt the new ways - Good and Bad....

Roasting a Prime Rib at the holidays is a treat, and we rarely have any leftovers. But if we do, I always make sure that nothing goes to waste.

This pasta is made with leftover prime rib meat that is cut into bite-sized pieces, perfectly cooked pasta, mushrooms, and an easy and flavorful parmesan cream sauce....

Making pull-apart bread using canned Crescent rolls is a fun and easy way to make an appetizer or dessert.

Buttery crescents are stuffed with a creamy chocolate chip and caramel cheesecake filling, baked until it’s golden brown, and finished off with a simple sprinkling of powdered sugar. This dessert is served warm, and you will love the flaky crescents and the gooey and melty cream cheese chocolate caramel filling....

All of last week Nathan was gone on a work trip. And when I’m the only grown up in the house I have the tendency to . . . . lose it. So one day I saw that our front door was unlocked. In a matter of seconds I convinced myself that I had left the door unlocked for the last week and a half and obviously someone had come into the house, knowing the door was unlocked, and was just in the basement laying in wait for me....

The 4th of July is a day to celebrate America, and what better way than to eat lots of yummy food, including this patriotic dessert! My 4th of July cupcakes are made from my favorite vanilla cupcake recipe. Instead of making plain white cupcakes, we’ll use food coloring to create a swirled, tie-dye effect that’s perfect for the occasion. Cupcakes are great, but if you want to go all out, make this red, white, and blue Forth of July Layer Cake too!...
