So the other night we were off looking at Christmas lights. It’s kind of silly, but it’s one of my favorite Christmas traditions. We pick up subs and drive around this neighborhood that goes all out. This was the first year we had three kids in the car who could all really appreciate the lights. We got lots of “Oooos” and “Aaaaahs” from Piper in the backseat. It was so awesome....

The cranberry season is finally here and I am so excited because that means that I’ll be making and serving lots of cranberry sauce, cranberry chutney and adding cranberries to the food and bakes that I make. To me, cranberries mean Christmas! Last month I attended Taste of London Festival: Festive Edition with AEG, we baked some awesome sausage rolls and made a cranberry chutney from scratch. And that inspired me to share my own cranberry chutney recipe on the blog....

A fresh fish taco from a restaurant or a cart is one of the most amazing things you can eat if you’re visiting the Southwest or Mexico. Unlike traditional American-style tacos, fish tacos are almost always served topped with a creamy sauce and shredded cabbage. The mix of textures from the tender fish, crunchy veggies, and creamy sauce makes fish tacos amazing! I can’t make fish tacos without this slaw, and luckily it’s super easy to throw together!...
My easy potato slices recipe (Super Crispy!) This is my take on crispy potato slices that are both easy to make and contain a secret ingredient for an extra crispy texture. Many supermarkets, including Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Asda, and Sainsbury’s, sell pre-marinated potato slices that you can deep fry, bake or air fry.However, making them at home is much simpler and yields fresher and better-tasting results! To make these potato slices, you’ll need only 10 minutes of hands-on time....

What Is Daikon Daikon is also known as mooli or mouli, or could be referred to as long white radish. It’s a root vegetable from the radish family with a sweet and crisp taste, popular in Asian cuisines. It’s usually used in salads and stir fry and could be pickled as well. Daikon is popular in Japan, so it’s usually served as a garnish in sushi and fancy restaurants. I was introduced to white radish last month when we visited our family vegetable farm in Jordan, and during that visit, I got to learn about vegetables that I’d never seen in my life before....
Every household as a favourite dal and a special way of cooking it.Even within households, people cook Dal differently.My aunt usually only makes the brown Masoor with the Chilka and my mother prefers Moong.There is no right or wrong way to make a dal- you can make it in one shot in the pressure cooker-without bothering with an extra tadka or you could slow cook it like the black dal usually is for a creamy consistency....
Sometimes there is nothing better than kid jokes. Except when you turn them into Valentine’s the that you can print at home. Why don’t sharks eat clowns? They taste funny. It’s okay, Nathan didn’t laugh either. But Gavin thought it was awesome, and that’s what really matters. He loves punny jokes. He can’t get enough of them, so I made these really fun Dinosaur Valentines especially for him. They aren’t cutesy, they aren’t sappy, they have a dinosaur and a ridiculous dinosaur joke....
Just in time for crab season, which I have come to learn that the season runs from November to June and in some places, year round.

It is also known for it’s fresh crab and find myself frequenting the bay very often....

(Pssst . . . I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention my Chocolate Amaretto Fudge for those who aren’t into whiskey....
I LOVE almond butter. I also love peanut butter, cashew butter, it doesn’t matter. Nut butter is my thing. Whether it’s on toast, in a sandwich, in a smoothie, I love how Almond butter is creamy, nutty, and packed with protein and healthy fats. The one thing that I don’t love about almond butter is the price of it. It’s usually twice the cost of peanut butter, and I’ve seen it at over $15 for a jar in some stores....
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram We are pretty excited. He’s excited for the concert (and crushing on the Edge), and I’m excited for bacon wrapped hot dogs. No, they don’t serve hot dogs as part of the show (although how awesome would that be??) but we’ve been to this arena before, and I happen to know that when the show gets out around midnight, there will be dozens of little hot dog carts set up, ready to sell me overpriced deliciousness....

As I grew older, my love for noshing grew wider, incorporating in it varied flavours, from every cuisine I ever had a go at. Friday nights for me meant junk night – wherein, strictly avoiding a proper 3-course meal for dinner, I would instead opt for a plateful of wings, fries, or on many occasions, samosas. It was the only way I knew how to have a Friday night meal....
