Oatmeal cookies are a favorite in our house, with my Oatmeal Raisin Cookies being my husband’s absolute favorite. These Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies are a perfect easy spin on those that I know you will fall in love with. They have a perfect chewy texture and are bursting with butterscotch flavor. If you scoop the flour from the container with the measuring cup the flour can pack. Doing this can add up to 25% more flour into your cookie recipe....

It’s been chilly, wet and foggy the past couple of days, which makes me happy knowing that my favourite season has finally made it’s way! Just looking at wet ground gave me a cosy feeling. I was so glad for being home and not having to drag myself through the chill to go someplace. It was a treat to look forward to spending the next hour or two enjoying my hot cuppa over the books and magazines I’d gathered a few weeks ago to aid me in my impending writing assignments....

The main difference I find in the way vegetables are usually cooked in India and Malaysia is the amount of time it takes. Indian vegetables are often cooked to the max – entirely absorbed of all the seasonings and completely cooked through. Which would easily explain why I was never a fan of the dreaded Alu Gobi – who likes a cauliflower all mushy and soft? We recently had a BBQ party where I grilled cauliflower florets marinated in yogurt and spices till they were tender, yet still retained a slight crunch; it was to die for!...

Do you remember last week when I shared my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake and told you that more chocolate peanut butter amazingness was around the corner? Here we are, friends!

Don’t you think! When we have a really buzy over loaded mumma’s week, these treat just cheer me up. I made some really delicious Classic Waffles topped with Salted Caramel cream for my lunch one Friday and for kiddos for their after school snack:) Do you think its bit maddening to have them for lunch? I love my Sage Waffle maker and its a breeze when you are in some good company....

The other day I was out on my front porch taking pictures of this Turkey Wild Rice Soup, getting an overhead shot by standing on a rickety old wicker chair that has to be at least an eternity old. It’s the kind of chair that has a metal frame, so even though the seat part is completely disintegrating, if you stand on the metal frame you are good to go....

In a world where I want something reminiscent of my grandparents’ sauce but where the time to make it doesn’t exist for me, this Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce is the perfect answer. It simmers away in the slow cooker, allowing me to come and go, but it is has that deep rich flavor. Try to think of it like the scale that Lady Justice is holding. One one side is the acidity of the tomatoes – almost a bitterness....

Crushed New Potatoes – Crispy From the Outside With Creamy Centers When we were in Bali earlier this year, we found this amazing vegetarian restaurant that served delicious burgers with crushed new potatoes. We only discovered the restaurant in the last 2 days of our trip, but I managed to visit twice to order these seriously good crushed potatoes! I learned how to make these crushed potatoes at home, and I became obsessed!...

Usually, hubby dear and I would simply settle for a big bowl of fries and spicy wings, but it was not to be the case this time. Yup, we wanted something different and not to mention, GOOD!! So as we debated and counter-debated what we wanted to dip our fingers into, there came a point where we both knew it was a fine compromise. Considering the fact that this is one of hubby dear’s favourite rainy-day eats, and the fact that this would be the first time ever I was attempting a hand at it, made it quite an adventure....

Here are some of the things he put on his list: almonds, bulk Pack of low-rise white athletic socks Paint my bathroom.

I LOVE apple desserts, especially when apples are paired with cinnamon. It’s a match made in heaven! Can you think of anything else that goes so well with apples? Caramel? Chocolate? Both! In the past couple of months, we have been baking a lot with apples. My Mom is obsessed with my vegan apple pie, and I honestly think it’s the best apple pie that I’ve ever made and had!...

These flavorful meatballs are made without breadcrumbs, making them gluten-free and they also have no egg making them allergy friendly. Chicken or Beef Meatballs I do love a good beefy meatball, I even love them stuffed with cheese like my Cheese Stuffed Mini Meatballsrecipe, but I also like to mix-it-up and enjoy these lighter, chicken meatballs. If you are one of those people who can’t tolerate beef, say hello to your new little meatball friends....

I have looked and I have yet to find a good gluten-free naan bread so what is my option? I make it myself! Unlike my no-yeast naan bread, this recipe has yeast to give it more leavening to help rise, lighten and soften. If you choose to do so, you can leave out the yeast but just know that the bread will come out denser and not as fluffy, given the lack of gluten....
