One of my favorite meals to eat in the summer (really all year round), is big salads with sliced chicken on it. It feels very filling while still being really healthy and nutritious. I love it when we can easily grill up marinated chicken in the summers. It is the perfect addition to a salad. This is true once again with this Greek Salad with Chicken. There are a few different components to this salad recipe, but they all come together perfectly....
This delicious turkey feast is my go-to holiday meal, but in a scaled-down version. A roasted chicken is one of my favorite dishes. And just as I do when I do my chicken roasting, I always add a bed of vegetables under the meat before the roasting starts, along with chicken stock. Why? Because this is when the gravy is made and these wonderful juices also cook the veggies at the same time....
These Italian cannoli are just like the ones you splurge on at your favorite Italian bakery.

What Does Horseradish Taste Like? I always find it tricky to describe tastes, and this one is extra difficult because it is so unique. That being said, Horseradish almost has a spicy quality to it. It has a tang and a kick that really does make your eyes water if it overpowers a sauce. Combined with mayonnaise and sour cream, it creates a sauce that compliments meats like prime rib, steak, and even fish....
Fresh herbs are a great way to dress up your meals. Parsley is an herb I love to keep on hand in my fridge because it makes for a simple and colorful garnish. It is an easy way to add to the presentation of recipes like pasta, casseroles, or soups, especially if they are brown or red because the green of the parsley looks so vibrant. With these simple steps, you can keep parsley in your refrigerator for two weeks....
Since I’ve been buried in deadlines the past week, writing and researching for some of my upcoming freelance assignments, I had the privilege of spending many long hours at the bookstore amidst some of the best collections of cookbooks – all the while thinking about his Methi Matar that I was going to cook for dinner. Don’t you just love it when you can grab your favourite cup of coffee, and comfortably settle yourself on a cosy plush leather chair in the cookbook section of a huge store?...
This is an all beef meatloaf also made with added carrots, celery, onion and garlic. I have found that it is best to partially cook the vegetables before adding them to the raw meat and before baking. I have found they just don’t cook all the way in the meatloaf when it’s roasting in the oven. The vegetables tend to stay a little crunchy. How to keep your meatloaf from drying out Use a higher fat content of beef....

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram He has been bugging me to pick up some Dixie cups so that he can practice with her at home. I was at the store with my mom and niece awhile back, and finally decided to buy Eric some tiny cups. But they were only sold in packs of 300, and there was no way in heck that I was going to waste money on that many cups, since I knew Eric would probably use like 4 of them....
Vodka: Read my recommendations on vodka below. Simple syrup: I love making my own simple syrup and keeping a jar of it on hand in the refrigerator, but you can also buy it in the liquor section of your grocery store. The sweetness of the simple syrup is the perfect balance against the sourness of our next ingredient. Fresh lemon juice: It is important with only three ingredients in this recipe that you use fresh lemon juice and not bottled....

When hosting a dinner party, I usually make the pulao a couple of hours ahead of time since it keeps well and doing so also allows the flavors to penetrate deeper. Just heat it in a microwave right before serving and fluff out the rice with a fork to prevent breaking the grains. What is the Best Rice to Use for Pulaos? The answer is simple – Basmati, of course!...

“Karen, you got half fat.” “Sorry, what??” “The ice cream. It’s like…healthy.” “UUGH!” That was the conversation that just happened between Eric in the kitchen and me in the living room. I am NOT a healthy dessert person. (Okay, except these cookies.) Diet ice cream is just not the same. (And for the record, I just finished my bowl and now I feel like I need a “real” dessert. A follow up, not fake one....
