I’ve shared quite a few dal recipes on this site, but a simple red lentil dal was lacking until now....

What Makes This Recipe So Good Tomato bisque takes delicious tomato soup, and makes it even better. It’s creamy, hearty, and silky smooth.

You’re in total control of the ingredients you put into your bisque!...

🍗 What Makes This Method So Good Frozen chicken tenders are best when they’re tender and juicy inside and crispy and crunchy outside. You can get that result from deep frying, sure, but then you’ve got to mess with a pot of hot oil and everything, plus the heaviness that comes with deep fried food. The oven eliminates all the oil, but it does a lousy job of crisping up the breading, and it’s not the fastest method....

Chicken and orzo is such a glorious combination. Today we’re taking it up several notches with the most irresistible garlic butter twist. Follow me… Pan-Fried Chicken Thighs For this recipe, we’ll be using boneless skinless thighs. They’re much fattier than breast, which is great because we’ll be using the excess fat to help fry the mushrooms (it also adds heaps of flavour to the sauce).

This is a close contender to two of our other favorite ramen recipes Chicken Ramen Noodles & Garlic Sesame Noodles. Caramelizing the ground beef in the Stir fry sauce is the game changer in this recipe. The extra 5 minutes you will spend in browning the meat is all worth it. Most recipes call for discarding the seasoning packet that comes with the noodles. But I have used the seasoning as well(not all though) and which makes this beef ramen noodles recipe stand out....

Cheese ravioli with tomato sauce was so my jam when I was growing up. There’s so much to love about those little pockets of deliciousness.

So why not put those components together? That’s what I did, and the results were delicious!...

Tofu is a kitchen staple in my house! I usually have multiple packages of various varieties of tofu on hand. It’s one of my favorite plant-based protein sources. In fact, I’m such a tofu lover that I wrote an entire guide to tofu, detailing what it is and how to cook with it. But as you can imagine, with so many packages of tofu being stored in my kitchen, it can be difficult to keep track of how long each one has been hanging around....
