How to make Palak Paneer parathas? step by step In a blender jar, add the spinach, chilli, ginger, and garlic. Blend to a smooth puree. If needed, add a splash of water. In this paratha recipe, instead of making a spinach and paneer stuffing, we make a soft dough with whole wheat flour (atta), spinach, paneer, and spices. Just like a roti recipe! Then roll, cook on the tawa, and enjoy....

Everyone loves a good quiche – a tasty filling inside a golden-brown crust, best enjoyed at room temperature. This particular quiche has a delicious combination of flavors, with sweet pears perfectly complementing tangy goat cheese that is also creamy, with a hint of onion and rosemary. Sweet pear flavor runs throughout the filling. Pear slices are placed on the bottom before adding the egg filling, and then more pear slices are added to the top for decoration Quiche is one of my favorite things to make ahead and store in the fridge for a quick lunch, and sometimes even breakfast....
I am not a crafty person. Pinterest is only interesting to me for the recipes. (As Jacqueline eloquently states in Ever After: “I’m only here for the food.”) I think I was supposed to be a mom back in the 90s, when it was normal for a kid birthday party to consist of nothing but pizza, screaming, and cake. That’s all I remember from my birthday parties as a kid anyway....
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WE’RE GOING TO BUY PISTACHIOS!! YOU’RE GOING TO BUY PISTACHIOS??? NO, PISTACHIOS!!! WHAT??? She was saying jazz shoes, of course. Eric is always laughing at me because I still do this. Instead of just saying, “What did you say?” I repeat back what I thought he said, and I’m always way off. I imagine this will just get worse as the years go by. I’m like Bendemolina....
Garlic is a flavor powerhouse by itself, but roasted garlic is another thing altogether. It’s soft, buttery, and almost sweet. The clincher here is the roasted garlic! You can tell I am obsessed with roasted garlic! This butter on plain toast is what my dreams are made of! I can eat it by the bucket! It’s a delicious condiment to have in your fridge. I put it in everything from pasta to eggs to roast vegetables....

This easy shrimp pasta is made in 30 minutes, and has a creamy no fuss sauce that pulls it all together. This dinner recipe is fast enough and easy enough to be a great weeknight meal, but fancy enough to serve to guests. Or, you could make it for the one you love and have a wonderful date night in....
Adding Nuts While our family prefers caramel corn without nuts, you certainly can add some. You will want to add one cup of almonds, peanuts, or cashews to the popped popcorn in step one. The caramel will coat the nuts and bind it to the popcorn, making it perfect. I think it goes without saying that any great movie night needs to have snacks. One of the greatest movie time snacks is caramel corn!...
Barbacoa tacos are a traditional Mexican dish where the beef is prepared over a grill. Traditionally, it was an underground pit, but if like me you don’t have an underground pit available to you and since it is winter not much grilling is going on, a modern-day slow cooker works just as well. Barbacoa tacos are a traditional Mexican meal. The meat is slow cooked in a dried guajillo pepper sauce that is similar to the sauce in these slow cooker pineapple pepper carnitas tacos....

This recipe for Spatchcock Turkey has the perfect balance of flavors and cooks up your holiday bird much faster than a traditional roasted turkey....
What is a Slice and Bake Cookie Slice and bake cookies are probably the easiest cookies that you can make. They’re perfect for holiday rush baking, as you can make them ahead, then on the day of your party, just slice, bake, and eat! These cookies are butter cookies which means that there’s no leavener in this recipe so they’re extra dense inside, and they’re similar to shortbread cookies. The amount of fat in the recipe is what makes these cookies so delicious with perfect buttery crumb....
I was first turned on to this dish years ago when my husband and I were dating. He took me to Scottsdale Arizona for the weekend where we ate at his favorite restaurant (it’s actually a bar that serves food), called AZ/88. They call them ‘Hell’s Fire Chips’. The name is a little crazy, but if you’re a hot sauce fan you will feel the fire after eating these....
For the past couple of days, this has been exactly the feeling I find myself going through. No matter how hard I tried, it seemed like my meals were boringly repetitive. The inspiration had disappeared to a remote corner of my creative mind somewhere, and all attempts to revive it had been failing tremendously. That is until Hubby Dear (the sweet caring soul that he is!) decided to whisk me away on a foodie adventure....

I just got back from a blogging conference at the Googleplex (google HQ), where they taught us about how to blog and stuff. (I think. I was mostly Instagram-ing during sessions. Fail!! or win?? Instagram IS a part of blogging…) Just kidding, the conference was great and we even heard a few sessions from Google employees themselves who taught us what a search engine was. I had no idea!...

Nachos with Salsa are the perfect crumb when its time for jubilation. It was on my Nibble list yet again, this time for my son’s Birthday Party.

We are just about to start our vegetable garden. Biggest mom win ever: I put the tweenager in charge of it! How smart am I?! Plus, I think it genuinely gets kids more interested in vegetables and eating them when they grow them themselves. At the top of my list of what to plant is zucchini! They are easy to grow and there are a million different delicious ways to enjoy them....
BlogHer is not the best conference for food bloggers. I mean, duh, there’s an ENTIRE OTHER BlogHer conference for food bloggers. The general sessions were somewhat helpful, but there was one afternoon that was split up into “mini-cons” like crafts, personal blogging, etc, but nothing for us foodies. Again, I totally get it, but just a heads up for my peeps. I’m glad I went to BlogHer, but I will only bother with BlogHer-Food in the future (and there are a ton of other food blog conferences besides BlogHer as well....
