Rice pudding is a universal dessert as almost every country has one recipe of its own. The Indian kheer is my favorite rice pudding as it’s the first and most frequently eaten rice pudding by me. Nevertheless, I also love exploring and trying different rice pudding recipes from around the world like this Greek rice pudding called rizogalo. It really amazes me how despite having common main ingredients – milk and rice, how unique they all taste....

Close up the jar and take it to work with you (or wherever it is you eat lunch)....

I say this every year and here I am saying it again: I’m a terrible vegetable gardener. I think I’ve figured out that I don’t take it seriously enough. I bought a bunch of plants and stuck them into the ground a few weeks ago. Among them are tomatoes, peppers, a few herbs, and something else that I can’t identify with certainty yet. Whatever it is, it’s cruciferous and not cauliflower....

There are two types of cooks in the world: those who follow the recipe and use one or two cloves of garlic, as instructed, and those who throw in the whole darn bulb. Well this recipe is for both types! The beauty of roasted garlic is that you can throw a whole bulb (or two!) without spending the next couple of days breathing fire. That’s because roasted garlic is way more mild and mellow than the raw stuff, but still loaded with delicious garlicky flavor....

Salmon Fillets – I usually tell you to keep the skin on for more flavor, but skinless salmon works best for burger patties. You can use any kind of salmon — King, Coho, Atlantic, or Sockeye.

If you’re new to sardines, you might try something a little more simple before diving in to some of these sardine recipes.

Add your own twist to the Sheet Pan chicken and veggies To make the meal time less boring, I experiment with different veggies and also different seasonings. Cajun seasoning and Taco seasoning for a spicy kick. You could also use old bay seasoning or ranch like this Baked chicken leg with vegetables.

I never liked bacon when I ate meat, but I’ve never met a vegan bacon I didn’t like! At least not a homemade one. Coconut bacon and tofu bacon are both awesome. But vegan tempeh bacon is my absolute favorite (and this is the best tempeh bacon you’ll find!). Vegan bacon in just about any form is super easy to make. Mix up a smoky, salty, and slightly sweet marinade (I use liquid smoke, soy sauce, and maple syrup to get these flavors)....
