Serving fruit salads is like giving a treat that everyone loves. They are cool, yummy, and full of good stuff, so both kids and grown-ups can’t get enough! If you love making fruit salads and want to try more fun versions, I’ve got you covered. You can try my favorite Fruit Salad with Whipped Cream (it’s like having dessert!), the Mexican Fruit Salad (it’s a little bit different, but so good), the Creamy Grape Salad (so smooth and yummy), or the Old Fashioned Carrot Raisin Salad (like grandma used to make!...

The first time I ever had a Reuben sandwich at a deli, I was instantly in love. This sandwich has everything: crispy, buttery bread, gooey cheese, salty meat, and tons of flavor from the sauce and sauerkraut.

I’m all for taking help from the supermarket when it comes to entertaining and these marinated olives are a delicious way to spruce up store-bought items that is so easy, the hardest part is opening the jar or can. These olives are perfect when entertaining because this can be made days before and refrigerated. They actually will taste better as this gives the flavors a chance to permeate. I used a combination of black and green olives....

Often, when I talk to people on the topic of curries, the most common concern I get confronted with is the amount of time, and not to mention the effort that comes with it. I for one, beg to differ. A curry is nothing but a smooth blend of flavours brought together to highlight a star ingredient, just like in this recipe for Saag Chicken. True, you can spend hours toasting, pounding, and grinding spices to form the smoothest of pastes; you can spend days marinating and chopping to achieve the most delicate blend possible, and you can also lose yourself in a cloud of spices and herbs that would fill your kitchen and your home with an aroma almost so ambrosial, you would think you woke up in a foreign land....

I love homemade bread. Bread is one of these things that I find very difficult to eliminate from my diet no matter what. Especially when it’s homemade… I mean how can anyone resist homemade bread? Ever since I got into baking, I have always baked my own bread at home. It’s the fact that I can add anything that I like to it that I really like, seeds, nuts, fresh fruits, raisins, caramelised onions etc…...

Guys, I think I was meant to be born in Louisiana. Or maybe Georgia. Mississippi? Should the first word of this post been ya’ll?? Maybe not. I think I’m spelling it wrong. It’s turning into a very Southern Thanksgiving around here.

I’m not even 30 yet and I already feel like I’m getting old. Mostly because all the sudden I’m the kind of person who can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. (Go on. Drop it.) Seriously though.

While it’s still warm, we’ll poke holes in it and drench it in a sweet combination of three milks and wait until it’s all absorbed into the cake....

With how healthy it is, it would also make a great dip for veggies!...
