I have been having trouble with this next post–as you may have noticed from my extended silence. It is kind of a bridge post, or an odds-n-ends post. It does not fit any good theme, but whatever I am just going to go for it!
Biryani Gosht
Rich, savory and fragrant Biryani Gosht is fit for a celebration and can be made with any red meat. I know it is kind of lame to resort to bitching about discussing the weather, but you guys know those classic scenes in various movies and tv shows where the violence increases as the heat index…
Apple Pie Muesli; Review of Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: Rose Bakery
Soaking the oats the night before means this healthy, delicious breakfast is just quickly stirred together and then ready to eat! Affiliate links were used in this post. A copy of Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: The Many Little Meals of Rose Bakery was sent to me by the publishers for purposes of an honest review. No…
Yogurt and Bourbon Poke Cake: Using Community Cookbooks
I have started a new series on this site, devoted to finding interesting recipes in old community cookbooks. You know, the kinds that are printed and distributed (but not usually published by a true publishing company) by Junior Leagues, churches, and other organizations. A friend of ours is moving away, and she asked if I…
Hot Dog! with Masala Peas and Caramelized Onions
Now give it a moment before you reject the idea. An intensely spiced and slightly sweet mustard seed and tomato curry with peas plays the roll of ketchup and mustard both. A fluffy and warm piece of naan replaces the roll. Caramelized onions sell themselves. It is complex and a little daring. And absolutely delicious.

Indian Almond Chicken with Peas is a simple slow cooker meal that makes use of almond butter, something many of us have in our pantry. Affiliate links have been used in this post when linking to items I am discussing. It turns out, as a food blogger, Pier 1 is not a safe store for…
Nawabi Guchhi Mattar (Indian Royal Mushrooms and Peas in Cashew Nut Sauce) in the Slow Cooker
Like many name liberties I have taken in the past in languages I do not speak, I hope I have named this dish correctly. The dish I adapted from in Prerna Singh’s incredibly useful and delightful (if a little utilitarian) The Everything Indian Slow Cooker Cookbook is called Nawabi Guchhi. The Nawabs were the Muslim royals…
Kheema (Indian Ground Mushroom-Beef Curry) with Kale and Peas: Ode to the Mushroom
Minced mushrooms make a wonderful ground meat substitute in Indian Kheema. This post has been sponsored by the Mushroom Council. Guys, this is a sponsored post, but people can pay me to create mushroom recipes any time they want. I think you guys already know how much I love mushrooms–mushroom recipes pepper this blog. When…
Ash-e Anar (Persian Pomegranate Soup with Meatballs)
I almost forgot to share this recipe with you guys, which would have been a crime! It is that good! But boy it has been a weird month. The cruise was enough alone to make everything topsy turvy–I would love to say that we always get out of town in the winter but actually that…
