Why have I never tried this before? After making my Dark Chocolate Quinoa Breakfast Bowl, I had extra quinoa to play with so I figured another breakfast recipe was in order – my favorite. I’d remembered seeing that it’s possible to add quinoa (raw) to granola! How cool is that? The result is a crispy, crunchy, nutrient-packed granola that’s simple, healthy, and delicious. This recipe is simple, requiring just 30 minutes and 7 ingredients you likely already have in your pantry right now....

So much so, in fact, that it became a staple in her diet, even through her years at university. But one too many trips to a certain soft serve machine in the cafeteria left her feeling worse for the wear and regretting her sweet tooth quite dreadfully. So she tried as she might to give up sweets. But after months of saying ‘no’ to her favorite frozen dessert in an attempt to practice restraint, she finally gave in and the two were reunited once again....

❤️ You’ll Love This Corn Chaat Recipe Popular roadside snack in India: You’ll find many street stalls selling corn chaat (along with buttered corn, and masala corn) all over India. Sometimes then add grated amul cheese on top to make cheese corn bhel. Every vendor has his version, so there is no one recipe. It’s medium spicy (but customizable, if you prefer mild or spicy) It has the perfect combination of flavors (sweetness from sweet corn with a hint of tanginess from chaat masala, spicy flavor from chutneys, and salty)....

❤️ About This Sweet Potato Tikki Recipe During the Navratri fasting or vrat, people eat farali food and potato is the most common ingredient in many dishes. So sometimes you (at least me) may get tired of having potatoes in every meal. That time sweet potato gives nice change and different tastes. But of course, you can make the same recipe with regular potatoes and will be called aloo tikki instead....

Our recent go-to has been Mango Curry and spring rolls of some kind. My favorite is the light and fresh “salad” rolls with crunchy vegetables and tofu. This is my adaptation of that with a garlic cashew dipping sauce (oh hello, gorgeous) and my favorite vegetables at the moment. Origins of Salad Rolls Salad rolls (also known as gỏi cuốn, fresh spring rolls, or summer rolls) are a common Vietnamese dish and are also commonly served in Thai restaurants....

This cake has been my childhood favorite cake and this is the only recipe I ever use! ❤️About This Tutti Frutti Cake Recipe Super easy to make: Making tutti frutti cake is so simple. Just mix dry ingredients, mix wet ingredients, Combine both, mix in flour-coated tutti frutti and bake. Customizable: This is a basic eggless cake recipe and tutti frutti are mixed into the batter. You can make other variations by substituting tutti frutti with nuts and dried fruits....

No, the kind I consumed were of the brown sugar cinnamon, strawberry, cherry, or wild berry variety with the purple frosting with blue swishes across the front. My mom would toast two up, slather them in I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, and carry them downstairs to me, where I’d inhale bites between strokes of mascara and lip gloss before school. Now THAT’S how you eat a Pop-Tart, kids. That is, unless you’ve turned a new leaf and no longer consume high fructose corn syrup, blue lake dye, and hydrogenated oils....

A crepe is like having a mini burrito for breakfast, and quite frankly, who wouldn’t want that? Plus, the flavor options and filling possibilities are endless. Let’s do this! This crepe recipe was inspired by a new-to-me Youtube channel, Cam and Nina, which focuses on making vegan food easy and delicious – something we’re all about. So when I saw they had a crepe recipe that was both vegan and gluten free – a recipe I’ve been trying to tackle for years now – I had to give it a try....

OK, fall actually means many things (like cozy sweaters, lots of Golden Milk, and plenty of evening baths), but you get the point. Origins of Minestrone Minestrone is a thick Italian soup typically made with vegetables, beans, and pasta. It’s believed to date back to the 2nd century BC when Rome conquered Italy. At this time, there was an expansion in the variety of vegetables available and Italian peasants would gather ingredients from leftover meals to make soup....

Origins of Jalapeño Poppers It’s believed that jalapeño poppers were invented in Texas and may have been inspired by Mexican chiles rellenos. Both are peppers stuffed with cheese. But the difference is that chiles rellenos are made with poblano peppers. The following recipe is not traditional, but is our plant-based take on the concept! Vegan Jalapeño Poppers You guys probably know by now that I’ve been having all sorts of fun with cashews and nutritional yeast lately....

This is my take on vegan “mozzarella cheese.” There are quite a few methods out there to try, but to me, this is about as easy (and delicious) as it gets, requiring just 7 ingredients and simple methods to create. The base for this “cheese” is soaked cashews. They get wonderfully creamy when soaked and create a neutral flavor base that takes on the tanginess of coconut yogurt, lemon, and nutritional yeast so well....

I love this dish because it’s both Indian- and Thai-inspired, using both split mung beans (or moong dal), and my go-to Thai-inspired green curry paste. Let me show you how it’s done! This 1-pot meal starts with soaked moong dal (a.k.a. split mung beans). While that’s happening, you can prep your fresh green curry paste (or opt for store-bought!) and veggies. First we start with sautéed shallot, ginger, and garlic before adding the green curry paste*, which adds the primary flavor to this dish....

This 1-pot soup is inspired by Alison Roman’s The Stew – which uses common Indian spices like turmeric, ginger, coriander, and mustard – and is easy to make using ingredients you likely have on hand right now. Consider it your kitchen secret for those “haven’t been to the store in days” kind of dinners! It starts with sautéing onion, ginger, and red pepper flakes in avocado oil in a large pot (we like to use this Dutch oven)....

Also, sharing a shopping list (actually most Indian pantries are stocked with most of the ingredients listed there, but just take a look in case if you need to buy). Many people are looking for pantry staple recipes right now, mostly due to current situation, or possible shortage in the food supply. Whether this situation gets to that level or not, it is good to have a list of such recipes....

You could put them in a salad.You could eat them straight from the bowl.My vote: Make them into pie bars!

Bhature (plural for bhatura) is paired with chole (chickpea curry) and it is called a traditional dish chole bhature. What Is Bhatura & How It’s Made? Bhatura is a deep-fried North Indian bread that is made from leavened dough. The leavening agent in the dough can be yeast, baking soda, or Eno fruit salt. Today I am sharing the bhatura recipe with yeast. This is how it is traditionally made....

This recipe is my mother-in-law’s recipe. My in-laws eat no onion no garlic recipes (jain recipes) most of the time. Hence this is vegan and no onion no garlic recipe. This chawli curry is so delicious that you will not miss any onion-garlic flavors at all. This lobia recipe is very quick to make as there is no chopping required. Boil the lobia, then make the besan gravy and mix the cooked lobia in the gravy....

Yep, it’s that time of year to smash up fruit with booze and declare it happy hour whenever you please. Who’s with me? I’m kind of a mojito girl. Yes, I’m also a margarita girl – don’t get it twisted. But who can be mad at white rum? Especially when it goes so perfectly with ripe summer berries, fresh basil and a hint of lime. Haters begone. Origins of Mojitos The exact origin of the mojito is debated, but all the stories we found agree that this delicious drink comes from Cuba....

You’re cold.And thirsty.You like bourbon (yes, even you Rhonda).It’s been a long day.You need a drink. I have just the thing. We’ve gotten really into hot toddies (especially in winter) and have been mixing up different variations, always including bourbon. Hot toddies and bourbon go together like PB&J – trust me. Origins of Hot Toddy It’s believed that the hot toddy originated in India and comes from the Hindi word “taddy....

Cluster beans are also known as guvar, gawar ki phalli, guar, etc. ❤️About This Cluster Beans Recipe Gavar has a distinct (a slightly bitter) taste, unlike any other beans or vegetable. It is a little tough and takes a little longer to cook so it is precooked (like pressure cooked or steamed) and then mixed with spices. Healthy: This cluster beans recipe is low in calories and full of nutrition....
