While I’m not just a huge bread person, there is something ridiculously satisfying about a breadstick to round out a delicious pasta meal, or dipped straight into rich tomato sauce. I think we can all agree we could use a good breadstick recipe in our back pocket for times such as this. To amp up the flavor of these babies vegan style, I whipped up a batch of vegan pesto!...
I have no idea how I’ve never made pumpkin cinnamon rolls before, but after perfecting my original World’s Easiest and recently the 1-Bowl Banana Bread rolls, I could hardly wait to try my hand at a pumpkin version. I’m happy to report it was a serious win. This recipe is the first in a series of posts in partnership with Bob’s Red Mill. I have loved their products for years, and when we moved to Portland in 2010 I was thrilled to learn Bob’s was based there....
What? The description sounded amazing! How had I never known about this unique dish? After trying it for myself, I’m an instant convert. Drop what you’re doing, and get on board. Let’s venture into uncharted (delicious food) territory together! Singapore noodles isn’t necessarily a dish that originated in Singapore (it’s believed to have originated in Hong Kong). I liken it to one of the many Chinese restaurant menu items I order that likely aren’t traditional Chinese dishes at all....
What is Ven pongal ? Ven pongal is also called khara pongal. Pongal is a rice dish where rice and dal are boiled in plenty of water till cooked, soft and porridge-like consistency. Traditionally it is cooked in an earthen pot over the wood fire. But in modern days, we cook in a pressure cooker or instant pot. Basically, ven pongal is South Indian version of moong dal khichdi. This rich, unique flavored khara pongal is commonly eaten as a breakfast....
I mean, that’s a big statement, but it’s true. And can I also say that it was a long road to get here?

These 1-bowl, 25-minute pancakes require 9 simple ingredients you likely have on hand right now.

And good news. They only require 1 bowl, 5 minutes, and 3 ingredients! Let’s (not) bake! It all starts with oats and dates blended together. Then peanut butter gets thrown into the mix. The result is a cookie dough that’s perfectly tender, salty, and sweet! Form into discs and press down with a fork for those classic cross hatch marks. Stop there or go the extra mile and make a 3-ingredient chocolate glaze for dipping these beauties!...
To me, sangria should be slightly sweet, plenty fruity, and always red. But then again, I’m probably a sangria snob just like I’m a coffee and an ice cream snob. So clearly I’m not the sangria authority of the universe. However, I do know good sangria when I try it, and this is that. Origins of Sangria The earliest versions of what we now know as sangria were made in England and France in the 1800s, and sangria was eventually popularized after its formal arrival in the U....
These paratha are deliciously filling, perfect for lunchboxes or breakfast, and are kid-approved. The paratha dough has a slight sweetness from the beetroot, balanced by lemon juice. The stuffing mixture includes amchur powder, chaat masala, red chili powder, etc, giving the paratha a balanced flavor with mild to medium spiciness. Ingredient Notes Here is a picture of the ingredients you’ll need for the paneer stuffed beetroot paratha recipe. All of them are simple and easy to find in your Indian kitchen pantry....
I’m at it again with raw desserts. I really can’t get enough. Why would I have butter- and sugar-laden desserts when I can have one with 5 wholesome ingredients that makes 10 minutes to make and it tastes just as good? My thoughts exactly. These pecan pie bars are ridiculously easy to make. Simply soak your dates in a little bourbon, then whirl them up with some raw almonds and pecans....
There’s something magical about scuttling to the kitchen in PJs, making a cup of coffee or tea, and leisurely making breakfast for the ones you love (even if that’s just y-o-u). This little hash has all of our favorite things: crispy Brussels sprouts, tender roasted sweet potatoes, garlic, onion, sage, runny eggs, and currants for a little sweetness. Plus, it only requires 10 ingredients to make! Let’s do this!...
This sauce is smooth, rich, sweet with melt in your mouth texture. This texture comes from the good amount of butter. In past years, I used buy the ready made jar of butterscotch sauce. That time I was not that worried or I could say I was not much conscious about what I am eating. But as I grew, I gained knowledge and learnt many things. Among them, the one is NEVER consume stuff which has high fructose corn syrup....
Especially when it’s paired with crispy roasted chickpeas, citrus-massaged kale (yeah, we said it), and our 5-minute SMOKY Chipotle Dressing! Friends, let us show you how easy this 30-minute dish is! The first step is to roast the broccoli and chickpeas on a large baking sheet. The broccoli is seasoned with avocado oil, salt, and pepper, then topped with nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor! Chickpeas get coated in avocado oil, salt, and a blend of smoky spices (cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder)....
This super satisfying and delicious dal is made with toor dal (split pigeon peas) and it is cooked with Punjabi onion tomato masala and spices. What Is Dal Fry? dal=split lentils and fry=saute (in typical Indian terms). Technically fry means something deep or shallow fried in the oil. But that is not the case here, nothing is fried here. Here onion and tomato are sauteed in the oil and this process is called ‘frying onion tomato’ in the typical Indian language....
I’ll be honest: I was expecting another standard hummus that was good but didn’t taste as good as restaurant-style. What I wasn’t expecting was to eat some of the best hummus of my life. For reals. Ready for this recipe? I’m SO excited to share it with you! But before we share the secrets, let’s give hummus the credit it deserves! Origins of Hummus Like many foods, the exact origin of hummus is debated....
For a while now, I’ve been dreaming up this version, which utilizes dried mushrooms for a richer, more intense flavor and color, and it seriously paid off. Let me show you how easy it is! This 9-ingredient, 15-minute recipe starts by rehydrating dried mushrooms in vegetable broth. We went for porcini because their flavor is more woodsy and intense. But you can sub whatever mushrooms you’d like (or use fresh – see notes)....

I’ve been wanting to put beets in my dessert for a while now, seeing as they pair so well with chocolate. But none of the recipes I’d seen before were vegan, so I knew experimenting was a must. If you haven’t been previously warned about beets, consider this your official warning. They, are, messy. After a roast in the oven beets get all soft and juicy and perfect for adding to things like cupcakes because they don’t have a particularly offensive flavor and add a ton of nutrients and moisture to baked goods....
