I really like spinach artichoke dip! It’s super creamy and the mix of soft artichokes, spinach, and garlic tastes great. I often eat this dip at Applebee’s, and it’s so yummy and comforting that I find myself wanting it a lot! Because I wanted this dip so much, I thought, why not make it at home? The recipe is easy, and I think I got the taste just right! I used my Instant Pot to make this dip, which made it even simpler....

Boom. Straight up, no messing around chocolate fudge. (This was one of the first recipes I posted on the blog back in 2012. Check out this picture from yesteryear, yikes!) And by “no messing around” I mean no nuts, no peanut butter, no peppermint, no swirls, no fuss. Just pure semi-sweet, melt in your mouth goodness. (I have nothing against fudge-embellishments by the way. But sometimes you just can’t beat the classic....

We all should have a good red salsa in our repertoire and this salsa recipe could not be easier. You can just through everything into the blender, but why not take the time to broil the vegetables to add a little extra flavor.?

Who doesn’t love tasty Vegan curry in a hurry ?? Is Saag and Spinach the same? Saag and Spinach are not the same. The word Saag refers to leafy greens like Spinach, mustard greens,basella, dill, fenugreek, and collard greens in the Indian subcontinent. Palak refers to Spinach in Hindi. Usually, saag aloo is made with peeled cooked potatoes. However, we have taken it one step further. No need to peel the potatoes....

This is one of my all-time favorite meals. It’s healthier, cheaper, and tastes better than a take-out. Saucy tender chicken and crunchy vegetables are stir fried in a delicious savory sauce, then served over fluffy white rice. It’s a family-friendly meal as the flavors here are quite neutral, as in, no heat or spice, or unusual flavors, and the balance of sweet and savory is just right. There are roughly around 300 calories per serving without the rice, considering that this recipe makes 4 generous servings....
Stove and Instant Pot instructions included. Fasolia Bi Zeit Fasolia bi zeit translates into beans in oil, meaning green beans cooked with olive oil. This dish is so simple, and really loved in the Middle East. My mother-in-law shared this recipe with me after I went over for lunch and she served this delicious dish. Her version of fasolia bi zeit is so simple, yet so flavorful and delightful. Interestingly enough, my mother-in-law comes from the Palestinian city Nablus, and she told me that they always cut the green beans lengthwise for extra flavor!...

In my cheat version, I just pour boiling hot water from the kettle on the basil leaves....
Two cocktail recipes in a row?!? (I posted a delicious whisky cocktail on Friday, Desert Wasteland Whiskey Cocktail in case you missed it ???? ) That probably gives you some sense of how my summer, working from home with all three kids, is going. Just kidding! Work is definitely on the back burner this summer and I’m kind of loving it. The kids and I have a ton of fun things planned, and we magically keep finding things to do that we didn’t plan....

I mentioned that I don’t like crisp cookies but clearly that was a lie, because Oreos are crisp and I can go through an entire package as long as the milk is flowing. Gingersnaps fall into the same category for me. Milk is a NECESSITY. I never had the chance to meet Gramma Prudy (Prudence Henrietta!) because she passed away before I married into the family. But she lives on through her many fabulous cookie recipes, most of which are Swedish of course....
This recipe was originally published on December 16, 2011. The following story was written in 2011. Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram We have this argument every year. I think Eric must like stale cookies or something. But I won. Besides cookies, here’s what was inside: We have the most awesome friends ever. Who else gives you homemade pillows for Christmas that feature your favorite poets? Eric has a man-crush on Bono and I took an American Gothic Literature course in college, where I fell in love with Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories....
I think her bug phobia is partly my fault. We have an animal book which has one page that features all different kinds of insects, and instead of asking her to name all the different bugs like we do with the animals on the other pages, I taught her to say “ew.” Say hello to these beauties. They are basically foot-long Greek-flavored Hot Pockets. I don’t know how you could not be excited about this....
