My refrigerator overrunneth with condiments. Arranging our myriad of clinky jars and chunky bottles is a never-ending game of Tetris, but around here, we like our fries dunked, our chicken smothered, and our sandwiches sloppy. One condiment that I must ALWAYS have on hand is apple butter. Its rich flavor rocks my peanut butter toast, jazzes up my weekend waffles, and is essential to my Apple Grilled Cheese. It’s also my secret ingredient to these tender, flavorful apple butter cheddar biscuits (they may have just overtaken these Blueberry Biscuits as my new favorite)....

I have used capsicum to add flavor. Veggies like carrots, peas, potatoes or sweet potatoes go well with baby corn. Fistful of spinach/palak or methi leaves can also be used to add nutrition. If using potatoes or sweet potatoes from cold storage, i suggest par boiling first otherwise they may not get cooked well.

Hyderabadi cuisine is immensely popular for its rich cultural foods like hyderabadi biryani, Haleem, Double ka meetha, Kababs, Salan, Dalcha & many more. Hyderabadi bagara rice is known as Bagara khana or bagara annam in the local languages. It is mostly eaten with a good vegetarian or meat based curry. Vegetarians can serve this with bagara baingan, mirchi ka salan or even with a good dal. If you do not have time to make an elaborate meal just serve it with a raita....

Whether it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas, I always have Brie en Croute coming right out of the oven when my guests arrive. Sometimes I do struggle to find oven space for the baked Brie when there’s other stuff happening in there, like, uh, the turkey! But the Brie needs to happen and since I don’t have two ovens – One day I WILL have two ovens! – some heavy planning needs to happen beforehand....

Since using meat to make broth can be quite expensive, beef broth is typically made with meat trimmings or as a byproduct of some other dishes, like simmered beef brisket and other. At home, the best way to make beef broth with a good amount of beefy flavor is to used beef bones with some meat left of on them. They are easy to find and are usually inexpensive. Saving trimmings after butchering whole loins and other parts is also a good way to make beef broth on the cheap....

Rich and fudgy with a subtle chew, these easy brownie cookies combine my absolute favorite One Bowl Brownies and these dangerous Dark Chocolate Cookies into one sensational dessert that’s the best of both worlds. Like brownies, these cookies are decadent and chocolaty.Like cookies, they have a caramelized, buttery taste and edges you won’t be able to resist picking off and popping right into your mouth. Basically, if a cookie and a brownie had a baby, and if that baby were the most chubby-cheeked adorable baby of all time, it would be a fudge brownie cookie....

Like any other fritters these gobi pakora are best served hot with or without any side. Honestly these don’t need anything on the side but for many Indians chai-pakora are inseparable so a cup of masala chai will be great with these cauliflower pakoda. These are a great alternate to the gobi Manchurian or the chilli gobi if you are trying to avoid those store bought bottled sauces. So these are similar to the South Indian gobi 65 but are vegan as no yogurt is used here....

Many yrs ago, got this chettinad chicken fry recipe called as chicken varuval recipe from a tamil friend who hailed from Madurai, and was our neighbor in bangalore. She was a very good cook. I used to adore her health consciousness while cooking and the way she used to handle her kids. It is almost 6 yrs, since I have been cooking this. To make a good chettinad chicken varuval recipe, all the ingredients are a must to get a good aroma....

The legend says that this dessert was created because of a mistake. Apparently in the 90’s a French chef – based in New York City at the time – didn’t add enough flour to the cake and also took it out of the oven too soon. And because of that we have this “raw” filling that is the main characteristic of this cake. This sweet treat became very popular in New York and, consequently, in the rest of the world....

This simple dish, packed with Mediterranean flavors, consists of only 7 main ingredients and is done in about 5 minutes. Serve it warm as a side dish, or cold as a salad. Another Chopped style post? You bet! Del Monte® challenged me (and you) to cook something delicious out of 4 ingredients: Del Monte® Whole Kernel Corn, basil, lemons and feta cheese. I’m not one to decline a good culinary challenge, so I grabbed the ingredients out of the Chopped basket (just kidding, I went to buy them at the store) and went to the kitchen to experiment with those flavors....

An abundance of sweet corn (like my other favorite Corn Casserole), zucchini, and peppers! An abundance of healthy whole grains! And, by way of its nature as a casserole, a deliciously gooey abundance of CHEESE. If you’re looking for an easy, healthy, family-friendly casserole, this corn quinoa casserole is it! If the word “casserole” concerns you, don’t be worried. Too often, the word “casserole” conjures foreboding images of mysterious ingredients disguised as carefully as possible beneath a mask of cheese....

I came to stuffing late in life. I know many who think stuffing is just ho-hum, and I see you. Until I started making stuffing from scratch, I used to feel this way too. Now that I’ve experienced stuffing for the totally satisfying, well rounded, and straight-up delectable, next-level carb fest that it can be, I say to you with confidence: if you don’t care for stuffing, it’s because you haven’t found the right recipe yet....

When will this winter be over already? It seems that every year I forget how cold the Midwest gets, and every year I wonder why we put up with it. At least warming soups and casseroles do help. This creamy chicken florentine soup recipe has been a recent favorite. I’m a summer girl, through and through. Give me all the sunshine and beach time! Even with all the traveling we’ve been doing recently, I’m really missing the warm days....

In this recipe, skinless boneless chicken thighs are fried to the ultimate crispiness in under 20 minutes. The outside becomes crispy and crunchy, while inside the thighs are still tender and succulent. I could eat this chicken every day, it’s scrumptious. While these chicken thighs are not deep-fried, they surely taste like they are. They are exceptionally crispy on the outside and the crispiness remains long after they stop cooking....

If you are familiar with the concept of a peach dump cake or dump dessert (usually made with boxed cake mix and canned peaches), this crock pot peach cobbler recipe is similar, but with one critical difference. Today’s recipe uses real, non-processed ingredients and fresh peaches. Its flavor and texture radically outshines anything you can find in a box, and, thanks to the slow cooker, it’s still quick and easy to make!...

You wake up, you walk downstairs, and before you lies an incredible, filling, and wholesome breakfast ready and waiting for you. No, you’re not at the Four Seasons. You’re not even at Grandma’s house. You’re home, and this bountiful crockpot breakfast casserole (hopefully with a side of Overnight French Toast) is yours for the taking. I do regret that you will have to walk from your bedroom to the kitchen to enjoy it....

First cousin to Crock Pot Chicken and Rice, this is one of those unabashedly unfancy, take-me-home basic crock pot recipes that is ultra useful to have in your arsenal. Chicken. Potatoes. Carrots. <—All are approachable and widely accepted additions to the dinner plate. Lemon. Butter. Parmesan. Italian herbs. <—I dare you (and anyone else to whom you serve this slow cooker chicken and potatoes) to argue that there is a single objectionable item on that list....

It’s bursting with deep, comforting flavors and will warm you to your core. The best part of all? It’s incredibly easy to prepare, and your slow cooker does most of the work for you. My hope for this tomato soup was that it would be an easy, back-pocket recipe you can count on all year long (just like this flavorful Instant Pot Tomato Soup). This recipe uses canned tomatoes and shelf-stable orzo, meaning you can whip this soup up anytime you have those items lurking in your pantry....

Decadent Penne Alla Vodka is a true pleasure, but its high calorie count puts it on our special indulgence list. If you follow a vegan diet or eat dairy-free, it’s on the no-no list, since most vodka sauces are made with heavy cream or half-and-half. Until now…. Thanks to two tricks, this sneaky penne is entirely dairy free, and if you decide to skip the chicken, it’s (gasp!) vegan too!...
