I have always wanted to try brioche, but have never quite felt compelled–until I saw Rah Cha Chow‘s Butternut Brioche. Golden and rich, these rolls look amazing! As most of you know, I love braised beef–any way you want to serve it to me. But my husband is pickier and so I am always looking…

Roasted Sea Scallops (Shrimp) Galician (Mexican) Style
The first night this dish was comprised of 2 dishes, one shrimp and one scallops, both roasted in the Galician style. The second night, I mixed them, having realized I really liked the shrimp, and roasted them with Mexican flavors. And actually, were I to do it again, I would skip the scallops entirely (I…
Creamy Peppermint Marshmallows
Creamy Peppermint Marshmallows are festive, delicious, and an absolute necessity for hot chocolate as far as my family is concerned! Affiliate links have used in this post to link to items I am discussing. [December 2015: I will never forget how excited I was to share this recipe with everyone, and how crestfallen I was…
Goodbye, Sage; Hello, Amchur! Khatte Channa (Sour Chickpeas with Garam Masala & Cumin)
I said I was going to quickly try another chickpea dish with amchur–and I meant it. I loved it that much; you will definitely see more experiments with that ingredient on this blog in the future. I don’t know how to describe it other than as I did before–earthy and quite sour. Maybe umami sour?…
Miso Glazed Cod
I’ve been waiting to make Miso Glazed Cod ever since reading about it on my sister’s blog. However, I was a little overwhelmed by purchasing miso in the grocery store. I know how that sounds, given some of the ingredients you see regularly on this blog, but I am intimidated when I first start using…
To Try Tuesday
Another recipe from The Recipe Girl, these Chicken Breasts with Pumpkin Seed Pesto and Butternut Squash Sauce look absolutely fantastic. I love pumpkin seeds, and should use them more often–hopefully this recipe will inspire me too! Thanks to my Twitter buddy Ilyses, I discovered these Apple Cider Doughnuts over at Smitten Kitchen. They look very,…
Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
I wanted to wax poetic about this cake–because I truly do feel poetic about it, I’ve made it several times–but I am having trouble. Maybe it is the 5 hours of sleep and Kung Fu Panda in the background robbing me of brain cells. Whatever, the cause, believe me when I say I am not…
Potatoes & Chickpeas: Food That Is Good For The Soul
I have discovered that, second to Mexican/Latin flavors, Indian flavors are fast becoming one of the things I crave when I am sick. Hearty, warming, homey, soul food. No doubt my parents are staring at this in some confusion wondering how Indian food has come to be comfort food for me since I had never…
(Leftover) Pumpkin French Toast
I have to apologize for this post in advance. On the one hand, this idea is just too good not to share, and I feel confident that anyone who has made French toast can do it. On the other hand, I have no recipe. For one thing, I made the dish before I got bronchitis,…
