I prefer keeping my fridge clean and fresh so never stock it up with too many fruits and vegetables. The maximum I stock up is for a week. It makes me uncomfortable if there are too many unconsumed ingredients from the previous week, left in my fridge. To avoid this, on weekends I generally plan to make a recipe that can consume all the leftover vegetables of my fridge. However, being a weekend dish, it has to be special and delicious....

I can’t believe it’s the end of September already and I’m just getting to posting my first pumpkin recipe of the season. But then I can, because it’s been freakishly hot where I live and for the most part, pumpkin anything feels wrong when it’s a thousand degrees out. On the other hand, I am excited about pumpkin and all things fall that are forthcoming (in case I haven’t mentioned that enough on this site), and tomorrow it’s supposed to start feeling like fall, so in a way, I got a head start by posting this today....

I am an early riser and I love spending some time alone every morning before the world becomes chaotic. My mornings are reserved for productive and positive things like yoga, meditation, writing journal, reading something motivational, noting down ideas, planning a productive day ahead, and sipping plain warm water. Despite being a food blogger I don’t like spending my beautiful mornings in the kitchen. That’s the reason even after waking up very early (between 4:30-5:00 am), I prefer making a quick and easy breakfast....

Strawberries are delicious in both sweet and savory recipes, and when they’re good, they’re SO GOOD — sweet and juicy and so fragrant. Strawberry cake is a delicious dessert that I don’t think gets nearly enough attention. I’m not talking about strawberry shortcake (which I also love), but rather cake where we’re incorporating actual strawberries in the batter and the frosting. This particular recipe is adapted from my vegan vanilla cake recipe, but I’ve replaced some of the wet ingredients with concentrated strawberry puree, for a fruity blast of flavor....

Did you know that many brands of Worcestershire sauce that you can buy at the store are not vegan? In fact, the brand I see most often at the store, Lea & Perrins, is made with anchovy paste. It’s not even vegetarian. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! There are a handful of vegan Worcestershire sauce brands out there. Annie’s, Edward & Sons, and Whole Foods brands are all vegan…but they’re not available everywhere....

What Makes This Recipe So Good Uh, so guess what. I love tofu. Not like, I ate it when I was a vegetarian. Not, it was forced upon me at vegan restaurants. Like straight up, I freaking love tofu. I like tofu “chicken” nuggets, and I really like Chick-Fil-A tofu nuggets, too. I like beer battered tofu tacos, and I’m really into lemongrass tofu, as well. Yeah, so, uh, we were clearly vegetarian there for a while, eh?...

Home stretch, y’all. It’s so close – can you smell it? No, you can only smell soft-boiled eggs and Epic bars still. But you’ve made it so far! You should already be mega proud. Are you mega proud?

🥓 What Makes This Recipe So Good While the cheese-stuffed option is delicious, you really only need 2 ingredients to make an incredible bacon-wrapped date appetizer. They’re so good on their own that I promise you won’t be disappointed if you skip the goat cheese. I’ve been making these for YEARS and still I whipped up a batch the other day and may or may not have eaten like 15 of them in one sitting… The dates are naturally sweet, and when you wrap them with salty, savory, smoky bacon, they transform into something else entirely....

I don’t know about you, but keto sweet bread recipes always remind me of the coffee shop. This almond flour blueberry bread is no exception. In fact, it’s pretty incredible with a cup of bulletproof coffee. But make no mistake, blueberry keto bread is not only for breakfast – it’s just as good for an afternoon treat or a dessert at the end of the day! Calling this the best keto blueberry bread was fairly easy, because so many readers have already made and loved the muffins that it was based upon....

One of my many reasons for loving the winter season is the options of fresh leafy green vegetables available in the Indian market during this season. Though now almost every vegetable is available in every season, like most Indians, I also prefer eating seasonal fruits and vegetables. They are not only good for your health but also taste better in their season. Today, I am sharing a simple Indian recipe made with one of my favorite leafy greens which is fenugreek leaves....

What Makes This Recipe So Good When I tell you this is a favorite of mine, I’m absolutely NOT exaggerating. I’ve been making these for years – they may or may not have been the signature cocktail at my oldest son’s 2nd birthday party (don’t mind me as I think about how we just had his 7th birthday party a couple of months ago). Anyway, that should tell you how amazing these mimosas are!...

Baked pears with caramel sauce have turned out to be an excellent dessert. Fall, the season of apples and pears, is the best time to enjoy this delicious dish. The caramelized sauce is made with butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Maple syrup and cinnamon are atypical fall flavors. Maple syrup gives a neutral sweet taste and is preferred over honey. Cinnamon has a mild spice flavor and elevates the dish to balance the flavors....
