Golden and crispy outside with gooey, melted cheese and sweet strawberry preserves inside, this Strawberry Grilled Cheese sandwich recipe tastes like a fresh cheese danish. Grilled cheese, the iconic American sandwich, is a favorite of most kids growing up. It never stops being comfort food, even to adults. Crisp and buttery outside and gooey with melted cheese inside, it’s the perfect sandwich, even in its most basic form....
Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread
Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread combines the creaminess of hummus and the rich complexity of French onion soup for the perfect snack. I’ve been finding myself making fusion-type dishes more frequently lately. To name a few, Indian-spiced burgers with tamarind chutney and fresh mint, rolled up in hot naan instead of being sandwiched between a bun. Greek-flavored enchiladas, with garlicky marinated chicken, feta, tomato sauce, and beautiful briny Kalamata olives. Boeuf Bourguignon served pot pie-style, enrobed in a melt-in-your-mouth tender, flaky pastry crust....
Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Cheese
Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Cheese pairs earthy mushrooms with nutty Swiss cheese and a hint of garlic and herbs. It makes the perfect weekend breakfast, special occasion brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner. I always love the idea of going away for a weekend. Even though I live close to the beach and technically every weekend could feel like a mini-getaway, they usually don’t....
Strawberry Overnight Oats
Strawberry Overnight Oats taste like strawberry shortcake, but are nutritious with fresh strawberries and oats! They’re easy to make, perfect for meal prep, and great for grabbing on-the-go for breakfast or dessert. People who know me know are always shocked to hear that I went through a hoarding phase as a kid. It’s true though!...
Black Beans Recipe
This easy, from-scratch Black Beans Recipe combines bold savory flavors like onion, garlic, and smoky cumin with humble beans, and transforms them into something special. Two pantry-staple SECRET ingredients are added at the end to create a wonderfully balanced flavor profile! This Black Beans Recipe will blow your mind. Hearing that I know you’re skeptical, but just hear me out. Beans are the type of thing you eat a bite of and expect them to just be ok. Meh, if you will....
Banana Coffee Cake Recipe with Brown Sugar Pecan Swirl
This Banana Coffee Cake Recipe transforms over-ripe bananas into a moist cake with a tender crumb that features a cinnamon-laced brown sugar pecan swirl throughout. I’m not really a shopper, at least not in the sense that most ladies are. I steer clear of the mall unless absolutely necessary (darn Apple Store with its only location in the mall…and double darn Cheesecake Factory with its fabulous cheesecake!). Anyway....
Red Lentil Soup Recipe
This satisfying Red Lentil Soup Recipe is easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and has rich, deep flavor and creamy texture. It’s a delicious first course to a larger meal, or it makes a perfect lunch. I wanted to write a post about Ramadan earlier (since it’s already the 16th day!), but time has been flying by. (Update: I wrote and originally published this post on the 16th day of Ramadan in 2009.) Red Lentil Soup is very popular during Ramadan. It’s hearty and delicious, and serves as the perfect tool to whet your appetite....
Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
This Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe makes two large cookies that are crispy outside, soft inside, and packed with buttery brown sugar vanilla flavor. This is an easy one-bowl recipe that takes just 20 minutes from start-to-finish. It’s the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate chip cookie craving! Some of my first memories of my mom involve me sitting on the kitchen counter watching her make Chocolate Chip Cookies. Of course I was her “helper”, but that really just involved packing the brown sugar as tightly as I could into a measuring cup and snagging a few chocolate chips as I stirred them in....
Beef Brisket Recipe
This classic Beef Brisket recipe is slow cooked in the oven until it’s tender enough to fall apart. I also give easy instructions on how to make it in a slow cooker so you can prep it in the morning and come home to dinner. It makes a great Sunday supper and it’s kosher for Passover! I grew up with pot roast as part of our regular dinner rotation. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I first had brisket!...
Lemony Chickpea and Herb Wheat Berry Salad Recipe
In this Lemony Chickpea and Herb Wheat Berry Salad Recipe, the chewy texture and slightly nutty flavor of wheat berries is accented with tangy lemon, rich olive oil, and zippy herbs. Chickpeas bump up the protein and make it a filling, nutritious lunch or side dish. I’ve always loved hearty salads! Beans, grains, and green vegetables are some of my favorite additions to salads, not only because they’re satisfying and nutrient-dense, but also because they’re sturdy enough to keep well for a few days in the fridge....
