Sure, it’s a little cliché to talk about really good/helpful storage and organizing products the first week back of a new year. However, I’d say 80% of my friends and family are deep in a purge and organizing mode…myself included. The other day, my best friend said, “Jess, you’d be so proud of me. I’ve gotten rid of so much, and I’ve already gone to the store to get containers and bins for what we’re keeping.” It’s such an exhilarating feeling!! I do want to make it clear that I’m not going around to my friends’ homes, telling them to…

Quinoa Upma is a healthy dish prepared in simple steps and is a good option when you want something light yet filling. You can easily make this for busy mornings. It has a mild masala flavor and feels very comfortable to eat. This recipe is good for both adults and children and you can have it any time of the day. It is a good source of protein and fiber, so it keeps you satiated for a long time. It is also gluten-free and easy to digest for most people. You can add quinoa instead of rava which makes this…

The smell hits you first buttery rice, sharp Parmesan, and that unmistakable scent of something frying to a perfect golden crisp. I made these fried rice balls on a random Tuesday when I had way too much leftover rice and not enough energy to cook something complicated. Turns out, rolling rice into balls and frying them until they crackle is one of the smartest shortcuts to feeling like a kitchen genius. They’re crunchy, cheesy, and gone in minutes. If you’re craving more easy comfort food that actually tastes homemade, this Easy Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken (8 Simple Steps) is a…

There’s something about taking down all your holiday decorations that puts a magnifying glass against all the things in your home you forgot you have been ignoring. Wreaths get pulled off windows, doors, and mirrors; garland is stripped from staircases, doorways, and mantels. After the sigh of relief that it’s all put away, and you have your house back, it’s common to look around and really *see* your house. The uneven curtain panels in your living room, you swore were only temporary…three years ago. The cluttered bar cabinet you keep meaning to reorganize and style. The half-finished DIY sconces with…

Karupatti Paniyaram is a healthy, lightly sweetened Paniyaram made by frying rice flour pieces which is mixed with Karupatti syrup. It has a healthy taste and is usually prepared during festivals or special occasions at home. This Paniyaram has the natural sweetness of Karupatti and this makes the taste different from the regular sweet Paniyaram. Making this sweet paniyaram takes some time and effort, but the taste is really worth it. The outer part becomes slightly crispy while the inner part remains soft. You can make this recipe whenever you feel like cooking something traditional and homemade, mostly on weekends…

Methi Paratha is a healthy spicy paratha made by mixing tempered fenugreek leaves with wheat flour while making regular parathas. Methi Paratha is a good idea to include green vegetables in the diet. It has good aroma and taste due to fresh fenugreek leaves. It can be made easily at home without much effort. I usually make methi paratha for breakfast or for lunch box as it remains soft for a long time. You can pack it easily and it remains soft for a long time and this is one of the main things to have while travelling. It also…

जब आप एक मग और चम्मच में गर्म दूध डालते हैं और ऊपर से फूली हुई चॉकलेट डालते हैं, उसके तुरंत बाद एक क्षण आता है जब सब कुछ पीने के लिए बहुत सुंदर लगता है। ये मीने बनाया है व्हीप्ड हॉट चॉकलेट पिछले हफ्ते जब इसाबेला डांस क्लास से घर आई, तो वह ठिठुर रही थी और चिड़चिड़ी थी, और जब मैंने उसके सामने मग रखा तो उसका चेहरा पूरी तरह से बदल गया। उसने एक घूंट पिया, मेरी ओर देखा और बोली, “क्या हम इसे हर दिन पी सकते हैं?” जैसे ही आप पीते हैं, व्हीप्ड कोको क्रीम…

Chicken thighs dripping with a golden honey mustard grilled chicken glaze, charred at the edges, sticky-sweet and tangy all at once. The broccoli gets crispy in all the right places, with little burnt tips that taste better than anything you’d steam on the stove. I made this the first time on a humid June evening when I was too tired to think, and it’s been my go-to ever since. It’s the kind of dinner that makes you look like you tried hard when really, you just mixed a few things in a bowl and let the grill do the work…

These big, fat chai cinnamon rolls are baked over sticky caramel and loaded with cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. I made them the first time on a rainy Saturday when I had a craving for something warm and spiced, and now they’re the only Chai Cinnamon Rolls I bother making. They take some time, but most of it is just waiting while the dough rises, and the smell alone is worth it. If you’re into buttery, spiced treats, you might like my Lemon Raspberry Bars Recipe or these Best Snickerdoodle Cookies. My Lemon Thumbprint Cookies are another favorite when I want…

हमने सोचा कि साल की हमारी पहली आधिकारिक पोस्ट को सबसे प्रिय में से एक बनाना सही होगा…हमारी वार्षिक रसोई रुझान पोस्ट। जैसे ही मैं ये शब्द टाइप कर रहा हूँ मुझे ठंड लग रही है! यह एक नया साल है, एक नए सिरे से एहसास कि चीजें बेहतर हो सकती हैं और उम्मीद है कि और अधिक सुंदर हो सकती हैं। और आपमें से कुछ भाग्यशाली पाठकों के लिए, उस सुंदरता का थोड़ा सा हिस्सा रसोई के पुनर्निर्माण या हल्के नवीनीकरण से भी आ सकता है। यहीं पर यह पोस्ट वास्तव में सहायक हो सकती है। हालाँकि, यदि आप…
