One of my close girl friends has been teaching me about Indian cuisine, and one thing I’ve learned (other than how to say various foods) is that there are many different types of bread. Rawa dosa is the first one I’ve had the privilege of trying . While I don’t think it’s traditionally served with Tostito’s chunky

Here’s a simple recipe for a simple cookie that’s a classic and a favorite to many, including my Poppa, who always played the lovable role of the Sneaky Cookie Stealer in my childhood memory reel. This recipe is one I whipped up for him, after he bashfully requested I make him some Pillsbury instant oatmeal cookies —

This recipe is one that my Nana used to make. She wrote all of her recipes down on note cards, and for a while, we couldn’t find them. Recently, we hit the jackpot and recovered almost all of them, we think. Eventually, I’ll work my way through all of the ones we found, but today,

The Kahlua cake recipe I am about to present to you is super easy, super moist, and super yummy, especially after you let it sit for a couple of days. Letting it sit allows the liqueur to soak into the cake and give it even more flavor. The same is going to be true for

Earlier this week, my parents and I were rummaging through some old papers and photos when we came across this gem: I was three or four when I wrote this, but even still, 20 years later, I was inspired by my budding culinary skill. How could I have possibly known that, when I was older

They’re a neat way to flavor your meat of choice while often adding an element of moisture and tenderness you otherwise wouldn’t get.

Sometimes, you may find yourself in a hurry and need to make dinner in a rush. Sometimes, you even get time to prep for these occasions. In this case, I started marinating some chicken with the intent of making it Sunday night. Well, Sunday night came and went. We weren’t even remotely hungry, since I

I haven’t posted a dinner in a while, so I figure that it’s about time I did. Chicken is one of those meats that’s generally agreeable, even with hardcore carnivores like the boyfriend (who is more of the mindset that chicken is just a higher order vegetable). While it’s often prepared as a relatively light

As promised, I have prepared, for your viewing and baking pleasure, a mid-winter pick-me-up of one of my favorite summertime flavor combinations: Lemon and blueberry. Now, as I told my mom while making these, I could eat lemon blueberry anything for days. It’s the perfect balance of tart and sweet, just like cranberry orange bread (which I
