Manjula, thank you so much for this recipe. Can you suggest any other vegetables to add to the batter? Thank you! Natalie, chopped spinach, or shredded potato or both Very intriguing recipe. There is a similar, but sweet version which is of Medieval origins which we called “frittelle di pane”, which are slices of bread (usually stale-ish) that are first immersed in a batter of sugar, milk and eggs, and then fried and topped with a dusting of cinnamon (French toast is a similar recipe and has the same roots)....

Excellent and easy, really delicious. I used some wheat bread that had gone stale, turned out great. I added some mustard seeds and chopped onion to the batter. Thanks again, Manjulaji!

Fall season means soup season in my house, and I’m lucky to have a LOT of soup recipes to choose from. Currently, I love pumpkin curry soup, cheeseburger soup, and my famous buttercup squash soup recipe. Everyone in my family LOVES it when I find this squash at the grocery store and make this soup. It’s just out of the ordinary enough to keep things interesting while filled with flavors everyone loves....

I can never pass up dessert, especially tarts and pies. Buttery, flaky pastry filled with fruity and sweet fillings? Yes, please! These individual cherry bakewell tarts are completely irresistible as well.

More cocktails that use honey syrup? Once you’ve made a batch, use it to make the Bees Knees, Penicillin, and Gold Rush. Why we love this recipe: The Brown Derby is so much fun!

Frequently asked questions Cover it all in a tangy Italian-style dressing, and it’s a delightful mix of textures, flavors and colors. Alex and I love making this one for a summer potluck or cookout, or it saves well for lunches throughout the week.

Fusilli spiral pasta or any short-cut pasta (see below) Cherry tomatoes Bell pepper Red onion Chopped herbs: basil, parsley or dill Olives Pepperoncini or banana peppers Small mozzarella cheese balls Shredded Parmesan cheese Italian-style dressing (see below)...

Coconut Flour Biscuits When it comes to baking with coconut flour, my favorite recipes to make are brownies, cupcakes, and these coconut flour biscuits. While I’m someone who loves a side dish of vegetables or potatoes with my dinner, I actually prefer something more comforting, like a dinner roll or bun. There’s something extra cozy about something carb-y with my standard meat and vegetables, and bonus points if it can also be keto....

Have you started Diwali celebrations yet? In northern parts of India, the festivities last for about five days. Along with all the celebrations, this festival of lights also brings a wide array of sweets and delicacies. These completely addictive coconut ladoos are just one among them.

Love baking with applesauce? Try my applesauce cookies, applesauce brownies, applesauce pancakes, and applesauce bread next. Applesauce, to me, is one of life’s magic ingredients. It’s an essential ingredient for healthy baking and is often used to replace butter and oil. It keeps baked goods moist and tender and cuts down on the sugar needed, thanks to its natural sweetness. While it is often used to replace fat, it can also be used to amp up some apple flavors, like in my fabulous applesauce cake recipe....

Who could deny the fact that oats and chocolate make a mouthwatering combo? These chocolate oat bites are definitely guilt free treats that’ll satisfy your sweet cravings in a healthy way. Oats are well known for their nutritional qualities. It’s been a healthy substitute in both sweet and savory dishes for years. But unfortunately, oats have a very distinct taste that many consider really bland. So I’ve made them delicious by adding a natural sweetener – cocoa powder....

Need a great party drink? Try this Party Punch recipe: equal parts fruity, bubbly and delicious! Many punch recipes can be overly sweet: you know, the kind with lime green sherbet?

Spike it with rum if you like, or serve it non alcoholic: either way, it’s absolutely irresistible!...

There’s something so satisfying about a simple pot of beans: it’s full of protein, super economical, and an easy way to make a healthy meal. Cooking dry beans is something we used to do often, but we’ve fallen out of practice lately. So we’re resolved to get back on the train! All you need is a bit of forethought to simmer up the beans into an irresistibly creamy, savory-spiced pot of beans that works as a side dish or simple main protein....

Here’s a pretty darn perfect side dish…if we may say so ourselves. Try these insanely delicious Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions! Mushrooms aren’t always top of mind for pairing with meals (for us more often, it’s broccoli). But this recipe is truly exceptional.

Pair it with almost anything for an outstanding meal....
