(In the pic : Butter naan served with butter chicken and mint chutney) While I love the big, fluffy, buttery naan served at my local restaurant, recreating these Indian flatbreads at home is always so much fun. In my opinion, making naans from scratch doesn’t have to be tedious at all. Sure, making them on a busy day may not be a great idea. You’ll need enough time to allow the dough to rise, and then roll into circles....

This may be a controversial opinion, but I think cashew butter is one of the more underrated nut butters. I use it often to make cashew butter cookies and caramel fudge because it’s not as overpowering as almond butter, but it still provides the same rich, creamy texture. Inspired by peanut butter balls and almond butter balls, I used cashew butter to make these easy 3-ingredient, protein-packed energy balls. Recipe Highlights It’s only 3 ingredients....

When I plan our weeknight meals, I always try to make it as easy as possible by focusing on quick meals, so I can spend valuable time with my loved ones. Being an all-time favorite, chicken curry makes a weekly rotation on our menu. It ticks all the right boxes – quick, easy, delicious. So, let’s talk about a lip-smacking chicken curry – chicken dopiaza or chicken do pyaza. Onions are the core ingredient in this recipe, it’s all about using “onions two different ways”....

The chocolate chips in every bite are just a bonus! Best of all? Just like my apple, cinnamon roll, and red velvet pancakes, these sinfully sweet chocolate pancakes are perfect for whipping up for weekend breakfasts and brunches....

This drink has two variations: one straight classic for whiskey lovers, and one as a more balanced drink....

Crispy baked chicken thighs is one of my favorite ways to cook this protein, as it never fails me. But I crave a deep-fried breaded chicken every once in a while (hello, KFC). If you’ve tried air fryer fried chicken before, you’ll love this oven baked version. The skin is crispy, while the meat is moist and juicy. The best part? There is no deep frying, so it has a fraction of the oil of traditional fried chicken....

Here’s a trick for adding a crunch to soups, chili and salads: tortilla strips! These crunchy strips are so tasty and add just the texture element.

This easy strawberry shortcake recipe is a new take on older recipe, one that reminds me of my mom. Growing up my mom used to make a chocolate shortcake that was dark chocolatey and lightly sweet. My sister and I called them “cowpies” because the dark, flattened mounds really did look a bit like manure (!). She’d serve cowpies with nectarines and this blended strawberry sauce that brought just enough sweetness into the dessert....

Every year we go through a “lentil soup phase” where we eat the same soup on repeat because it’s easy, satisfying, and extremely economical. Sometimes it’s this red lentil soup, or curry lentil soup, or the smoky lentil soup from our cookbook. But we’ve just discovered the lentil soup that outshines them all: it’s only 7 ingredients, plant-based, perfect for meal prep, and extraordinarily delicious. We sent it to a recipe tester who said, “How is this SO delicious AND so easy to make?...

It’s unusual, but it works. Ingredients in an Espresso (not Expresso) Margarita The margarita is a classic cocktail invented in Mexico in the 1930’s, and it remains one of the most popular cocktails of all time....
