I’m showcasing the sweet plums of the season in this free-form tart. What I love about making free-form tarts is not needing a tart pan. You can make this tart rectangle or round, like my Blood Orange Galette. Using my go-to shortcrust pastry recipe, I jazzed it up by adding cornmeal. This adds a delicious, cornbread flavor to the crust. If you want to use your favorite puff pastry, this would be delicious also....

I’ve been trying to eat as healthy as possible, because I think that our food have a great impact on defining who we are today. If we eat healthy, we feel better and our spirits are high. But if we eat lots of processed, sugary and fatty foods, it drags our moods to the bottom, we gain weight and sometimes even start having healthy issues. © Little Sunny Kitchen
Pronounced ‘ah-run-chee-nee’, these crispy balls can be an appetizer or a meal served with vegetables. I usually just eat them on their own before a pasta meal, with a side of my Easy Marinara Sauce. Anything fried (at least in my family) is always a favorite. I mean, what is not to love about a fried rice ball stuffed with cheese? A great seasonal appetizer serve with drinks, pre-Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner to keep the family from raiding the kitchen Risotto for Arancini Arancini are best made with leftover rice, in this case, risotto....

Food! Christmas treats! Her great grandmother baked hundreds of cookies. There were trays and trays out around the holidays. (Italian grandmas, am I right?) Her grandmother made tons of Christmas treats and passed down the tradition of giving them to her kids. I vividly remember Christmas baking with my mom (like these amazing cut out sugar cookies). Even better, I remember my brothers, 5 and 7 years older than me as teenagers baking away at the holidays....
Tuna Noodle Casserole was one of my favorite dinners growing up. It is so funny to think, because my mom was a great cook and almost always cooked from scratch. But there was something about that box of casserole, that got me. I find myself almost always making dinners from scratch around here, but I am constantly trying to find meals that can be done around 30 minutes. It’s usually a race against the clock when it comes to hungry kids and dinner time....
I can remember when sloppy joe sandwiches made with canned Manwhich sauce and hamburger buns were a dinnertime delight! At some point, my palate matured, but I do still enjoy the slightly sweet, tomato-y flavor of sloppy joes from time to time. I just make sloppy joes from scratch now, instead of using a can! The sauce for sloppy joe casserole is a simple one, made with peppers and onions, ketchup, mustard, canned tomatoes, and seasonings....

Something light, something filling and something healthy is what I desired for lunch today. Spiralized Beetroot Kosambari , just as I like with Beetroot, with a hint of lemon juice, soaked pulses and desired seasoning made up for it. We have just returned from our month long annual vacation from India. It has been super hectic, fun packed, fun-tastic and lots of catching up with friends and family. Trust me after many years, this was one vacation where we did not have a packed schedule of tasks to tick onto our notes....
There are 2 things you’ll notice about this pizza, 1: there’s no tomato sauce and 2: there’s no mozzarella. If you’ve been to Italy, you’ll know that they do their pizza (and pasta) using simple, fresh ingredients without over-saucing and over cheesing. This helps to achieve a crisp pizza that will never get soggy. The Italians let the freshness of the ingredients speak for themselves, and that’s what I’m achieving here....
The car that I drive is one of those kind where the headlights are always on. Day or night, if the car is on, the headlights are on. And when you turn the car off the lights stay on for at least a full minute. Who knows why. Perhaps to light the way if your destination happens to be in front of the car? This feature is single-handedly restoring my faith in humanity....
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram I’m the worst at taking down decorations. We still have a string of homemade snowflakes hanging up high in our living room from Christmas. IT’S SEPTEMBER GUYS. May as well just leave it up til December I guess. (Yes, I realize this is how old ladies who leave their Christmas villages up all year are born. Send help.) There were some killer sales this weekend, was anyone else doing some shopping?...
Forget for a moment about how awesome this cake looks. I want to talk about how it tastes! My chocolate layer cake recipe is decadent, moist, and super chocolatey.

This sunflower cake, decorated with peeps chicks, is perfect for Easter, but feel free to serve it whenever you have the need for a delicious chocolate cake....
In the upper midwest, hotdish is a big deal. These hearty dishes packed with meat, cheese, and creamy soups are topped with layers of tater tots and enjoyed at home, church and school potlucks, and family get-togethers. I’m so glad that the concept of casseroles with tater tots didn’t just stay in Minnesota. People all over have realized how amazing this meal is, and how simple it is to make....
I even prep myself for it: Karen, you’re going to get an email. But don’t get all worked up now. It’s from yours truly. You JUST wrote it. I can’t help myself. I still just love it. Speaking of being a total freak finding joy in the little things, do you ever just get so excited to go to the grocery store? I mean with no kids, of course. Going to the grocery store with multiple children is like pouring Sriracha sauce on an open wound....
With just a handful of healthy ingredients, these chocolate oats are both delicious and good for you. All over the world, people are enjoying oats and other grains for breakfast. This is because hearty oatmeal and other types of porridge are full of carbohydrates to jump-start your day, and fiber to keep you full all morning long. There are a million ways to make and enjoy oatmeal, but my favorite is this easy recipe for overnight oats that is chocolatey and sweet....

This recipe is a great option for anyone who loves Chinese takeout, but wants to make it at home in a healthier and cheaper way. I love takeouts, but I always worry about what’s in my food, if it’s healthy or really fattening and greasy, and how it was prepared....
