Last summer, after a long day at the beach, we needed something quick and satisfying for dinner. I rummaged through the fridge and ended up making Pan Chicken Pitas with what we had on hand. I seasoned the chicken with lemon, garlic, and oregano, seared it in a hot pan until golden and fragrant, then tucked the slices into warm pita bread with crisp veggies and a spoonful of cool tzatziki. That first bite hit every note tender, juicy chicken with a hint of char, creamy tzatziki, crunchy vegetables, and soft, warm pita holding it all together. Why You’ll Love…

पिछले हफ्ते, एक पाठक ने इंस्टाग्राम पर मेरे डीएम में आकर मुझसे पूछा कि क्या कोई कारण है कि उन्होंने हमें अपने कमरे में “प्राकृतिक फाइबर” गलीचे का उपयोग करते हुए कभी नहीं देखा, जिससे पता चलता है। मुझे यह पुष्टि करनी थी कि उसका इससे क्या मतलब है, लेकिन मैंने मान लिया कि वह समुद्री घास और सिसल जैसी सामग्रियों का जिक्र कर रही थी। मैं इस वेबसाइट पर बाकी अद्भुत महिलाओं के बारे में बात नहीं कर सका जो अपना स्थान डिज़ाइन करती हैं, लेकिन मेरे लिए, यह सरल था: वे बच्चों के अनुकूल नहीं हैं। मैं इसे…

Vendakkai Pachadi is a very simple raita made using curd and ladyfinger. It’s light and cool, going well with almost any meal you make.

This is great for hot days or when you want something not too heavy but still delicious. The mixture of fried ladyfinger, curd and some mild spices makes it light and soothing. It may look simple but when you eat it…

This is a dish that everyone in the family can enjoy as it is also light…

The first time I made strawberry shortcake sushi roll, it was for a Dessert party where I’d promised to bring dessert and completely blanked on what to make. Standing in my kitchen at noon the day of the party, scrolling through Pinterest in a panic, I found this wild-looking dessert that looked like sushi but was actually strawberry shortcake sushi roll. I figured even if it tasted weird, at least it would photograph well. I threw it together in about 30 minutes, arranged the slices on a wooden board like actual sushi, and brought it to the party expecting polite…

The first time I made pesto chicken flatbread, it was because I’d promised Lina pizza night but realized at 6 PM that I had no pizza dough and no desire to wait an hour for delivery. I had store-bought flatbread in the pantry, leftover grilled chicken in the fridge, and a jar of pesto someone had given me that I’d been ignoring. I figured worst case, we’d order pizza anyway and I’d have wasted 10 minutes. I spread pesto on the flatbread, threw on chicken and cheese, baked it for 12 minutes, and Lina declared it “better than regular pizza.”…

Hey, reader! Does this wallpaper look familiar? Do you remember this moto photo (below) from my last makeover show? The one where I plastered the smaller of my two bedrooms with DIY fabric wallpaper, put a queen bed there, and called it mine? Or maybe you’re up-to-date and instead remember a recent post where I showed you my scary second bedroom, aptly named “The Doom Room,” and considered swapping the two? The TLDR version is something like this- loved I intended to keep my initial bedroom design and still have the furniture (and fabric wallpaper) forever, but I made the…
