Serve in a bowl or a good old-fashioned waffle cone. Top with any ice cream toppings you love, caramel sauce ( < click text for recipe link), roasted nuts, chocolate chips, the choices are endless. Optional additions Peanut butter, almond butter (mix in after the bananas are blended). Add frozen strawberries or blueberries. Stir in cooled, melted chocolate. We all have those bananas that brown and ripen way too fast before we can eat them....

I made these Banh Mi’s several hours ago now and am learning just how much I rub my eyes. Because after slicing those jalapeños my eyes are burning! Gah! Be careful! Or buy latex gloves for the kitchen. Why do I not do this?? (I forgot to mention that my pleasant early morning Safeway jaunt ended with me driving halfway home before realizing that I didn’t have my phone. I drove all the way back and found it in the cart right where I left it....

I think I probably have besan and ghee running in my blood stream..I mean I should, cause I ate these almost everyday for the first 17 years of my life. Okay not everyday but pretty often ,given that my mother’s side of family owns a sweet shop which specializes in making besan ladoo. Also,If you are looking for a more nutrition heavy and low calorie laddoo, do check out my post on how to make Ragi Laddo....

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Just kidding. We just went to the local park where they have cracked and terribly neglected courts. We pulled our tennis rackets and balls out of the trunk of our car, where they live permanently, just in case the mood for a quick tennis excursion strikes us unexpectedly, which happens exactly never. (I think when we bought the gear years ago we were too lazy to figure out where to fit them in our rather cramped garage, so they just never made it out of the trunk....

So after Elliot died, Nathan and I decided that we really needed to get away together. Walking around our house, there were so many reminders of Elliot . . . I mean, just the house itself. We had just purchased a bigger house, thinking that we would need more room for our two boys to run around and play in. And then . . . . and then we had a beautifully decorated nursery and no Elliot to put down for naps in there....

I love making a simple loaf of bread in my bread machine to use for everyday breakfasts and lunches, or as a side with a quick dinner. Bread Machine White Bread, Thyme Bread, Oatmeal Bread, and Seed Bread are some of my favorites, but I come back to this bread machine whole wheat recipe often too. If you’re looking for healthy bread machine recipes, you have come to the right place....

I am so proud to be partnering with Horizon on this post. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Wine & Glue possible. Can I tell you guys some of the best news ever . . . . my oldest guy is doing great at his new school. I had been so nervous and so worried. I think switching schools when you are 8 is kind of a big deal....

Autumn and winter are synonymous with seasonal produce like butternut squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes/yams. I’m also including Indian dishes in this collection because of the Anglo-Indian fusion that is one of the most popular cuisines in England. Some are traditional Indian, some are Indian-inspired. This fusion has resulted in a unique blend of British and Indian flavors that you will love. Check out my tasty Chicken Tikka Masala below....

If you were raised in the U.K. (and ate a Sunday roast or British Christmas dinner) you most likely were raised on these. Read on and found out why they are so popular. There’s a British way of roasting potatoes? There sure is, and we take it very seriously, here’s why. Sunday lunch/dinner is the most looked-forward to meal of the week (see my Roast Beef Dinner/Sunday Roast for all the details) and the potatoes are an important component....

This lovely Italian dessert was made just for the occasion of New Year get together .. My second successful attempt and this time it comes straight from a very popular author Dorie Greenspan.. I knew my choice cannot go wrong here. Verdict right in front of you 🙂 Recipe Adapted from :Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan Stir the espresso powder and boiling water together in a small cup until blended....

This is a sort of a deconstructed Chaat that you can serve at parties and dinners for everyone to share!A platter of Chaat so to say.. I have been experimenting with serving chaats at my party for more than a year. The problem I faced was that it took too much time, especially in the middle of the party. I would literally have to turn into a chaat wali and if I don’t, I would end up serving soggy chaat to guests… This Chaat Dip solves both the problems in one master stroke!...

There is something about hand pies that make me feel like a giddy little kid. I have thought about it, and I can’t figure out why! Perhaps it is because I can still remember standing on a stool in my mom’s kitchen snagging scraps of pie crust as she made a homemade cherry pie. She never turned her recipe into hand pies, but I know she would still let me eat the scraps....

I think everybody has a favorite meal at the Cheesecake Factory, right? So many of their menu items are top notch, that it can sometimes be hard to choose what to order! One of my favorites is Cheesecake Factory’s Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. It’s such a simple concept, but something about putting this traditional Italian pasta dish on a roll makes it exciting and completely delicious. So, I’ve re-created the Cheesecake Factory recipe at home, so you can enjoy it whenever you want....

I shared my recipe of Chilli Paneer on this blog many years ago but decided to update you with another one today since I’ve now changed the way I make it for us at home. Chilli Paneer is a crowd favourite that pleases adults and kids alike. You’ll probably find it on any Indo-Chinese menu as the vegetarian companion to Chilli Chicken. Don’t you just love it when different cultures come together and produce a lip-smacking plate of food?...

My cousin Lani was over the other day with her baby girl. Rowan was being a little fussy, so Lani asked if I had any straws, because that’s how Rowan usually drinks her milk. “Oh shoot, I think we’re all out!” I started opening random drawers to jog my memory of where I might have put them if I did have any. I shut them all and headed across the kitchen to continue my search....

The dough doesn’t require chilling, and you can make these cookies as a quick gift to give on Christmas day. What are your favorite Christmas cookies? We bake lots of cookies for Christmas every year, and I just realized that I haven’t shared many of my cookie recipes on the blog. So here’s my favorite cookie recipe; chocolate peppermint cookies with chocolate chips and crushed candy cane! The double chocolate cookies are baked until they’re just set, so they’re soft and chewy with a hint of peppermint....

Texas Roadhouse butter is an addicting, delicious, and perfect topping for their soft rolls. It’s savory, sweet, a little bit spiced with the addition of warm cinnamon. This honey butter is the reason why everyone always fills up on the rolls – it’s just SO good, you can’t stop! If you are missing the Cinnamon Honey Butter from Texas Roadhouse, or you’re just looking for a way to make this delectable spread at home, I’ve got you covered with this copycat recipe....

Storing Cranberry Relish This is a great recipe to make ahead of time. It will last in your refrigerator up to one week and is best served cold. I was shocked when SO many people commented that it wasn’t true. That Cranberry Relish was, in fact, the actual star. Additionally, Cranberry Relish, the fresh and raw cousin of Cranberry Sauce, is perfect eaten with Thanksgiving Turkey. Fair enough, guys! It’s time to add a Cranberry Relish recipe to our Thanksgiving plates....

I love making Fettuccine Alfredo with homemade sauce, but that sauce takes a bit to make. It takes a bit of time, and a bit of preparation and focus to get a traditional alfredo perfect. Cream Cheese Pasta tastes very much like a traditional alfredo sauce, but it’s way easier to make since there’s no need to make a roux with flour. That also makes this a gluten-free cream cheese sauce and will be delicious on your favorite gluten-free pasta....

Originally published October 4, 2016 Death by chocolate cake After I finished making and photographing this cake, I asked Charlotte if she wanted a bite. She said yes, so I gave her a forkful. “What do you think of the cake?” She paused, chewing thoughtfully and said, “Huh. Gooder than I thought it would be.” (Insert comically raised eyebrows) “Well what did you think it was going to be??” “Good, but just a little, um, not THAT good....
