Potato skins are my idea of the perfect bar food. Simple enough to eat with a glass of beer and a couple of friends, hearty enough to hold you over until dinner, and irresistibly tasty. You know what else is pretty perfect? Twice Baked Potatoes are similar to this recipe and equally tasty. Typically deep fried, potato skins are hollowed out and filled with melted cheese and bacon, then topped with green onion and sour cream....
The left overs are great! This vegetarian no crust quiche recipe is great if you are looking eat lighter. This week I’ve had a few friends casually talk to me about dealing with grief . . . or rather dealing with people who are dealing with grief. I’m always careful about what I say, because even though I have been through it and then through it some more, I don’t want to say the wrong things....
Fresh baked crusty bread In my opinion, there is no better aroma in the kitchen than the smell of fresh bread being baked to perfection and these rolls are so crazy easy to make!

But, ‘tis the season for indulgence – so, well, yes, you have a free pass....
Well folks, we have been home for a FULL week, and I still can’t say that I’m acclimated back to regular life. Each day I wake up wishing that I could go for a run with an ocean view and then sit by a pool while sipping a magical drink. And yet each day I wake up and am picking up Magna-Tiles and pouring cereal for children who also wish they were skipping by a pool....

(How lucky am I to have a job where I get to live in my happy space?!) And as we get near the end of this parade of goodies – treats that are fun to make, and perfect to give – I needed to include an easy chocolate fudge recipe....
How to make Onion raita at home First prep the ingredients - slice the onions, coriander leaves, and green chilli. Measure the yogurt and set it aside. Although I make the Northindian style Pyaz Raita with spices, I also love indulging in this simple homemade raita. We recently had the chance to enjoy a thali at Saravana Bhavan and the platter had this raita as one of the components. It was simple in flavors and so delicious that I did help myself to an extra serving....

Tomato, Ginger, and Garlic together make the base for this masala. And this curry has no onions too. Tomatoes - Use Ripe Vine Tomatoes for this curry as they lend the gorgeous color too. You may also use canned tomatoes or crushed tomatoes, but remember the gravy can be a bit too tangy and you will have to adjust the flavours accordingly....
Growing up, I thought my mom was the best cook. And, don’t get me wrong, she knew her way around the kitchen and even developed a lot of her own recipes (like her crazy popular Crab Pasta Salad). But I was thinking the other day and realized that she made a lot of boxed casserole dinners. But I swear, now looking back, that one of the reasons I thought she was such a great cook was because of the love she infused into the food....

Don’t you just love American holidays? Not that the Super Bowl is a holiday, but it’s still a food event just like Thanksgiving and Christmas. We hang out with friends and family and eat until we’re sick. I really can’t think of anything I would rather be doing. Last night we headed over to my sister Nikki’s house because they just bought a TV that is taller than Charlotte. Seriously, I’m not exaggerating....

Everyone who makes this fruit salad with creamy dressing and marshmallows makes it a little bit differently, and that makes it both comforting and exciting at the same time. Of course, I think my recipe for creamy fruit salad is the best, packed with bananas, apples, grapes, and strawberries!...
The other night we watched our friend’s kids while they went on a date, and ALL 3 of them had been injured within the first 20 minutes of being in our house. THIS is the way to make friends, in case you are having trouble. In my defense, their 4-year-old is in the baby-obsessed stage, and cannot leave her 6-month-old brother alone. Cooing, waving toys, rolling him over and over and over across the floor–wait, STOP!...
