The other day Truman was having fun making a paper airplane zoom around the room. At one point it landed on the floor next to where I was sitting, and he said, “Mom, can you get that for me?” I was confused. “What, like, you want me to pick it up for you?” He was standing 2 feet away. “Yeah.” And that’s when I exploded. “NO I CAN’T PICK IT UP FOR YOU, DO YOU NOT EVEN REMEMBER THAT I’M 9 MONTHS PREGNANT, ANYTHING THAT FALLS ON THE GROUND IS DEAD TO ME!...

I have tried baking several types of bread before..You can read about my experiment with baking a sour dough bread a few months back on this post here, but this is THE recipe that has been a real success at my home.I say this because my husband is a staunch non believer of all bread-be it pizza, rotis ,naans or parathas but he loved the bread that I baked.Imagine this....

I can’t believe I used to think I didn’t like salmon. Sometimes you look back at how you used to be and are like really? You were that lame? I wonder what I’m doing now that my future Karen-self is going to scoff at. I went through a phase when I was 12 or 13 where I wore the same fisherman’s hat. All day. Every day. I also used to wear a scrunchie on my upper arm during that same period....

Now that’s a whole different story altogether. Even then, I’m not spending all those hours on one single dish, but instead, I’m actually going nuts fussing over a minimum of five main courses. Yes, I get like that while entertaining and unfortunately for Hubby and Baby Dear it has only worsened over the years. But the diligent licking of everyone’s fingertips and perplexed weight-watching souls worrying over whether to go in for seconds (thirds, actually) more than makes up for all the effort....

Indian Lamb Keema Ever heard of lamb Keema before? It’s a lovely Indian dish that is made with lamb mince and can be used as a base for so many tasty recipes.

This margarita started it’s life as a classic lime margarita, but while I was making it I noticed some lemons in my fruit bowl that needed to be used, so I squeezed an equal amount of lemon juice to lime juice and I liked it. When it came to salting the rim the drink looked washed out (from a photographic stand point) so I grated lemon and lime zest into the salt and I what I got was a lovely decorative drink....

Panna cotta (Italian for cooked cream) is just that. It’s cream cooked with sugar, gelatin and any flavoring you choose. It is then refrigerated in moulds and allowed to set, dessert done!

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Have you guys seen the trailer that’s out for Far From the Madding Crowd? It’s gorgeous. I just watched it like 3 times in a row.

I just hated Bathsheba, and I don’t do well with main characters that I want to punch in the face every other page....

(Did you know that some people seriously get themselves Christmas presents?? And by “some people” I mean my husband. The first Christmas we were married, he started opening this present under the tree marked “To Eric” and I was like, I didn’t wrap that…He’s all like, ‘Merry Christmas to me!’ Seriously?? Have you ever gotten yourself a Christmas present?? So funny.) No? Just me? Fine then. (Liar.) Eric and I are Jim and Pam from The Office, can you tell?...

It’s pumpkin season and cheesecake is my husbands favorite, in particular New York cheesecake. I’ve been promising him a cheesecake for some time, so I combined both of his favorites into one amazing dessert by making it turtle style. Why is it called Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake? Original turtle candies from the early 1900’s are pecans and caramel dipped in chocolate and their shape looks like a turtle. So, apparently it seems that any dessert that features pecans, caramel and chocolates are popularly labeled as ‘Turtle’....

Picture me at just about dinner time in the kitchen getting the food ready in my work out clothes (okay . . . . this is kind of a weird start to a post, but I promise it’s not going to be creepy . . . . actually, it kind of is).

Creamy alfredo sauces are irresistable, and when paired with savory salmon filets and pasta – well, forget about it! I could probably eat this whole pan by myself. It’s much better to share though, and this seafood pasta is a great one to cook for date night. You could also try making Lobster Pasta or Garlic Shrimp Pasta. All three of these recipes are similar but perfectly seasoned to match the type of seafood included....

This post has affiliate links. Thanks for your support! Then I opened the jar and IT WAS EMPTY. Not even last-tiny-bit-scrape-able. This was no crap job, that jar was CLEAN. I’m the only one in the house with a Biscoff habit, so there is no question about culpability here. Past-Karen scraped that jar clean, and then she put it back in my cupboard. It’s like she’s trying to torture me....

What are Root Vegetables? Vegetables that that are primarily grown under the soil. Root vegetable examples are carrot, parsnip, sweet potato, turnip, rutabaga, garlic and potatoes. Roasting Vegetables vs. Boiling Vegetables for Soup Roasting is the best way to prepare vegetables because the roasting method brings out the natural sweetness and intensifies the flavor in a way that you just cannot achieve by any other cooking method.
