This veggie stir fry recipe has been a long time coming, because stir frying was one of the first things I ever learned how to cook. Even when we were living on frozen pizza half the time back in college, a simple stir fry filled in for the other half of the time. If you love the simplicity of these meals as much as I do, check out my recipes for cabbage stir fry and cauliflower fried rice for more inspiration....
I love preparing stuffed veggies like these because they make an easy all-in-one meal. From Greek-style stuffed tomatoes and fajita chicken stuffed peppers, to beef and cranberry stuffed delicata squash, and Italian sausage stuffed zucchini boats, there are so many ways to change up the flavors. This time, I opted for BBQ, fajita, black bean, chicken, or ground beef stuffed sweet potatoes — they’re just as good as they sound!...
My husband and I honeymooned in Paris years ago, but I remember the French macarons just like yesterday: light and delicate, with a crisp exterior, chewy interior, and just the right amount of sweetness. Today, we’re doing the impossible: Making a low carb keto macarons recipe — and it brings me back to Paris every time. Making homemade macarons can be finicky, but just like a keto cheesecake or lava cake, the process is easy as long as you follow the right technique....
Chicken and tomatoes are a natural combo and if you like it as much as I do, be sure to try my basil pesto chicken, grilled bruschetta chicken, baked chicken caprese, or Mediterranean chicken next. Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for chicken with sun dried tomato cream sauce, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below....
Asian cuisine is my favorite cuisine and you must have guessed that if you follow my blog as most of the recipes here are from Asia. Though my mission is to explore vegan and vegetarian food from all over the world, after trying a few recipes from other countries I always come back to Asian food. The reason is that most Asian dishes not only taste good but are also very easy to make....
Homemade Sweet Chilli Mayo As you’ve probably guessed, is simply mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce. I like to work at a ratio 2:3 mayo:sweet chilli, but you can totally work to preference. Sweet Chilli Mayo Variations Spicy – Add a pinch of Chilli Flakes. Zesty – Add a squeeze of Lime (or Lemon) Juice. Creamy – Use Sour Cream instead of mayo! (Aussie style served with wedges, just only half mix the dip)....
I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who didn’t like Mexican food. That’s good news because (1) I’ve got a lot of Mexican food posts to share in the coming weeks, and (2) Mexican food is cool. How could you not like it? As for the authenticity of my Mexican food…eh, not sure about that. Have I met a person who didn’t like Mexican fusion food? Not sure. That doesn’t come up as often in conversation, though it does come up more often since I started a food blog, and I think it’s a safe bet that the general consensus is yay on any food that’s tangentially Mexican....
What Makes This Recipe So Good Taco Bell has always been a late-night staple, although not so much now that I have kids. Their Mexican pizza was always a favorite, with layers of crunchy, crispy tortillas covered in rich refried beans, tangy sauce, and tons of melted cheese. When I heard they were retiring it from their menu (no!), I decided it was way past time to make my own version....
Massaman curry is, without a doubt, one of my absolute favorite meals on this planet. I remember falling in love with Thai food during my early twenties. First I discovered pad Thai. Good. Then Curry, starting with red curry. Better. Yellow curry. Still better. Then green curry. Even better. Then, finally…where have you been all my life?! Massaman curry! Of course, this happened when I wasn’t quite as wise as I am now....
What makes this practice so successful is the opportunity to save time, and money, by following a streamlined approach to cooking. Meal prep can be useful for anyone living alone, couples, or even families that have hectic schedules and simply want to make better use of their time during the week. As fantastic as this sounds, for some people it might be hard to find new meals that keep well and taste great throughout the week....
If you follow my blog then you must be aware that I am on a food voyage through which I am trying to explore this world by trying it’s vegan and vegetarian recipes. My favorite thing about this journey is the opportunity it gives me to know more about the history of different countries, cultures, and the journey of ingredients. There are so many surprising and interesting things that I have learned in the last 3 years because of this journey....
Though I have never been to Burma (now known as Myanmar) I have a special place for this country in my memory. My late grandfather who was in the British Indian army went to Burma during World War II and almost lost his life there. He used to share his thrilling war stories with his children and grandchildren. Though I was very young when my grandfather passed away, my father continued sharing those stories with us, remembering his dear father....
This vegan cherry pie is my favorite thing about summer. Most of the year you can’t find fresh cherries, but for now, they’re everywhere, and they make an amazing pie. Like some of my other favorite fruity pies such as vegan apple pie, and vegan blueberry pie, this one comes together with ease. You’ll need to pit the cherries and mix them up with some other filling ingredients. It’s up to you whether you make your crust or buy it....
Asparagus is the big early spring veggie that I look forward to every year, and it’s been abundant lately at my local markets. But it doesn’t always feel like spring this time of year. That’s why this creamy vegan asparagus soup is pretty much my ultimate early spring recipe. Classic cream of asparagus soup is a pretty simple dish made from just a handful of ingredients, asparagus and heavy cream being the two stars of the recipe....
This one is a three layer cake, but it’s surprisingly easy to make. It has a somewhat rustic look and feel, thanks to lots of fruit and nuts in the batter, so there’s no need to fuss with getting everything all perfect and even. Water. Ground flaxseed. This ingredient is important! We’ll be mixing it with the water to create a flax egg, one of my favorite vegan egg substitutes to bake with....
Did you grow up eating Dairy Queen ice cream cakes for basically every birthday? Well guess what? So did I. But also, my first after school job was at the DQ, so I have first hand knowledge of how they make their ice cream cakes. Also, I happen to love veganizing nostalgic childhood desserts — stuff like like Rice Krispie treats, Fudgsicles and Pop Tarts. I think that, along with my ice cream shop experience, basically makes me the perfect person to come up with a recipe for vegan ice cream cake that tastes just like the old DQ favorite....
One thing I rarely post on this site is yeast bread recipes. Why might that be? When I was a kid and just learning to cook, yeast breads were my favorite. I think at some point I decided they were a pain. Kneading takes forever, and it’s a lot of work! So I abandoned the whole yeast bread thing in favor of quick breads and store-bought loaves. Why Make Homemade Naan?...
Why This Recipe Is So Good It’s so easy to make with just 5 ingredients! You can make it ahead of time for an easy dessert for your Thanksgiving meal. It’s rich and creamy and tastes just like a traditional pumpkin pie. You can use a homemade or store bought vegan pie crust. Variations You can find sweetened condensed coconut milk at most stores like Sprouts and Whole Foods. If you can’t find it, see notes in the recipe card below for alternate ingredients....
Around 10 days back I went for my grocery shopping. As usual, I bought a lot of unplanned things just because they were on good deals. Despite having studied all the tricks of throwing bait for customers, in the management school, I often see myself taking the bait. So that day the fruit section of my fridge got stuffed with strawberries. Unfortunately, the very next there was a sudden temperature drop in Dubai which continued for the next few days and I caught a cold....
I surprised myself recently while waiting in line at the supermarket and picked up one of those little mini magazine cookbooks. I forget the title, but the subject was bacon recipes. I didn’t even really think about it when I grabbed the thing…I was just looking for some inspiration. People are doing all kinds of crazy things with bacon. They’re wrapping things in it, stuffing things with it, infusing with it, even making jam out of it (okay, I had to skip past the jam section of the book....
