on May 08, 2024 Love Salads? Check out my Thai Prawn Mango Salad, Mediterranean Quinoa Salad, and Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad recipes! I have been making my Asian Slaw on repeat this summer. It’s crunchy from the veggies and extremely flavorful thanks to an amazing Asian dressing. But what I love the most about this recipe is that it has no mayo, which makes this coleslaw super light, healthy, and summer-appropriate!...
on Apr 16, 2024 Homestyle chicken curries from East India feature such unique ingredients. And this Assamese black sesame chicken curry, also known as til diya murghi mangxo, is the perfect example of that. As the name suggests, the star ingredient of this dish is til or black sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are toasted to perfection, blended to a powder, and then used to coat the chicken pieces. The result is a dish that’s spicy, nutty, smokey and so flavorful!...
Hard to beat. But not hard to make. If you can make pot roast, you can make beef barbacoa. Beef barbacoa you will be proud of Better than taqueria beef barbacoa. That’s a tall claim. I know. I haven’t eaten at every taqueria out there. But I have eaten at a lot of them. I love tacos. Texas. San Diego. Arizona. Mexico. And a bunch of places with lesser credentials....
There really is nothing to making shrimp cocktail sauce. Mix up a few ingredients. Let stand for few minutes. Good to go. So I really don’t understand why people buy it. The jarred stuff is a little dull. Lifeless. It’s been sitting on a shelf for months. Shrimp is not cheap. Why would you waste it using mediocre shrimp cocktail sauce. Three key ingredients for great shrimp cocktail sauce Shrimp cocktail sauce is mostly ketchup....
You might also like these recipes for lima bean curry, mashed lima beans or Greek fasolada. Butter beans (also called lima beans) are utterly delicious in simple recipes like this Greek gigantes plaki. The creamy butter bean recipe I am sharing here is probably even simpler but just as delicious. So delicious, in fact, that you might be scooping the beans out of the pot with your fingers to eat them....
on May 13, 2022 My days feel incomplete without an evening snack. Even on a hectic day, I try my best to spend at least 15 minutes with a warm snack and a piping hot cup of tea. This is easily one of my favourite daily rituals. I guess that’s why I am always on the lookout for quick and easy snack recipe ideas. Baby corn fry is one of my favourite 5 pm snacks, and something I make pretty often....
on Jan 03, 2020, Updated Aug 20, 2020 Don’t worry, we are not going on a diet here. And I’m not going to start sending you recipes for boiled vegetables. But I figured after the holiday season, all of us need a factory reset and this is the recipe I turn to in the first week of Jan as I ease back into eating regular food again. Yes, I am that person....
on Apr 28, 2021, Updated Sep 26, 2023 This cinnamon raisin bread pudding is all about those sweetened slices of bread soaked in rum custard sauce. The cinnamon and nutmeg add fantastic flavours to the bread, and the hit of rum really takes this dessert up a few notches! I’ve included tips on how to keep the bread slices from turning into mush, and how to make bread pudding so that your guests will wipe the platter clean every time....

on Dec 11, 2019, Updated Jan 20, 2022 Soft, moist, and intensely chocolatey are how I would describe this eggless chocolate cake. I know so many people who don’t eat eggs in desserts that this recipe was a long time coming. My mom and I have been making this recipe for friends and family for years now, and so I didn’t even have to test it when I decided to share this recipe here....
on May 17, 2021, Updated Jul 06, 2021 I’m a sucker for a good old fashioned cake and have always loved the zesty flavour of lemons. I wanted to try combining the two and this cake was the result! It was surprisingly easy and you’ll be surprised to see how a cake can be so fluffy and soft. I really wanted that lemony flavour to shine, so I used lemon juice and zest in the cake and topped it with a bright and fresh lemon glaze....
It’s based on the famous bread salad served with the Zuni Cafe roast chicken. That is one seriously fantastic dish. This version is just as good. But adding leek, sage and savory puts it squarely in holiday turkey territory. Turkey stuffing or turkey dressing. That is always a tough decision. Which way to go? What to do? I love turkey stuffing. It’s amazing. How the drippings combine with the stuffing in the cavity while the bird roasts....
Who doesn’t love chicken wings? I mean seriously – what’s better than chicken wings? Crispy chicken goodness with the maximum skin to meat ratio. Add a bit of smoky grilled goodness. Eat them with your hands. So tasty. So fun. OK – maybe I like chicken wings more than most people but how can you not love them? Especially buffalo chicken wings. That’s just artery clogging genius. Take a piece of chicken that is mostly fat anyway....
on Sep 29, 2017, Updated Apr 20, 2021 I really wanted to call these spa truffles because these smell like your favorite spa, and like candles and romantic evenings. But let’s just stick to Lavender White Chocolate Truffles because that’s what they are. Beautiful, creamy, smells-like-lavender white chocolate truffles. Now don’t run away just yet because we are talking about things like lavender, which only make an appearance in your favorite bath salts and spa time....
on Feb 25, 2016, Updated Oct 09, 2023 This lazy girl’s schezwan chicken bowl is for everyone who remembers that they don’t have dinner ready till it’s almost time. It’s a little difficult putting together a meal in thirty minutes which is healthy, filling, nutritious, has fiber, is colourful and balanced. But you’d be surprised at how amazing schezwan chicken, sliced veggies, black rice and a fried egg can taste....
You might also like these recipes for vegan mango cake and vegan mango cupcakes. A couple of days ago, Holy Cow! turned five. That seems a long time in the ephemeral world of cyberspace, and I must confess I am not someone who sticks long-term with most “hobby” projects, as Desi will tell you. But this blog has persisted through good times and tough ones, largely because it has allowed me to bring together three of my greatest passions: cooking, writing, and living a compassionate life....
on Sep 04, 2024 My kids ask for pancakes at least once a week. So it’s no surprise that I have a ton of pancake recipes on the blog. I am not complaining though because pancakes have to be one of the easiest things to make out there. And these mini banana pancake bites are no exception. Slices of banana are dipped in a pancake batter and then cooked on a hot skillet....
on Aug 26, 2021, Updated Jul 03, 2024 There is nothing like Mirchi Bajji’s with a cup of chai! These are India’s answer to Jalapeno Poppers and I definitely love these infinitely more. You might be sniffing your way through it but you won’t stop eating them. At home, we only sprinkle chaat masala on the inside before batter frying them. But then I came to Bangalore and realised that there are a few different versions....
Aren’t you glad Spring’s finally here? It has been a long time coming to the Northeast this year. Desi must have switched the heating off and on a half a dozen times, and all of my sweaters are still hanging in the closet. But these last couple of days have definitely started to feel the way they should. Jay and I have been going on long walks every evening, looking at the blooming gardens in our neighborhood....
