If you, as I, may have been a wee aggressive in your stockpiling of dried chickpeas mid March, I have just the recipe for you: broiled “falafel” burgers. Made with soaked-but-not-cooked chickpeas, this recipe follows the traditional falafel method: How this recipe differs from traditional falafel methods is in the cooking method. Whereas traditional falafel is portioned into small balls and deep fried, here the “batter” is portioned into larger balls, then formed into patties, and broiled....

Very deliciously made garlicky mashed potatoes- a perfect side dish. This dish starts off with boiled potatoes perfectly mashed and then smeared in garlic and richened with cream to give it that buttery flavor. Butter and cream add that velvety texture to these garlic mashed potatoes. You can even give this recipe a extra boost by adding shredded cheese to it. In this recipe I made potatoes with their skin on as potato skin is the most nutritious part of a potato,it contains Vitamin C, B, Iron, fiber and much more so why discard it....

Lauki Koftas is a common dish and is prepared in every household. My mom would made lauki kofta once in two weeks and as a kid, I never liked lauki. Back then, just the smell of lauki was enough to make me lose my appetite but now lauki koftas are my favorite … I guess tastes evolve. 🙂 Today I am sharing a healthy version of lauki ke kofte – kofta curry prepared with non fried koftas....

Just like my last week’s delicacies Instant Mango peda and Chocolate Swirled peda, this gluten-free and delectably-rich sweet will leave its admirers drooling for more. And with the advent of Diwali, I reflect on my childhood days that remind me of the beautiful times we used to have while gorging on sweets made with love by my mother. It was always a treat to see my exhilarated Mum preparing a variety of sweets for my sister and me during Diwali, and these memories still hold a very special place in my heart!...

You could have these flatbreads either for brunch, as an evening snack, or for dinner – just as I did. Today, I have cooked some Instant Pot dum aloo and thought these Paneer Chur Chur naan would be a perfect match....

Why am I making the exception today? Well, this is the thing: preserving, as many of you know, takes time, and while I would prefer to wait a month to tell you how these preserved lemons turn out, I would prefer more if in a month from now you actually had these preserved lemons on hand, so when in the event I post about something else, something perhaps like the chicken tagine with preserved lemons and green olives I had at Tara Kitchen in early December, a dish I cannot stop thinking about and so hope to recreate at home, you’ll be able to participate, too....

Every spring this happens: I blink, and rhubarb season passes. And in one second, my to-make list of rhubarb recipes dissolves, my thoughts shifting to stone fruits and no-cook dinners and popsicles. Before we know it, it will be the Fourth of July, and I, my mother’s daughter, will be declaring summer over. Ugh, depressing. I think I might, however, have a solution to these time-passing-too-quickly woes: rhubarb schnapps, a mixture of chopped rhubarb, sugar and vodka, the cheapest you can find, Nigella insists....

Friends, I am 100 percent ready for butternut squash lasagna and cabbage soup and balsamic-roasted Brussels sprouts, but I am not quite ready to say goodbye to so many of my seasonal favorites, namely corn and peppers. I’ve had this recipe from Leigh Belanger’s My Kitchen Chalkboard bookmarked since the book came out this past spring, but I’ve only just gotten around to making it, which is a shame because it’s such a good one!...

That evening, I tossed the ratatouille, as Gena suggests, with pasta, then packed up what remained for the road. My friends and I ate the ratatouille all weekend, cold straight from the fridge for lunch, spread over grilled bread before dinner. What I love about this ratatouille’s flavor is the subtle bite lent by the balsamic vinegar, which evokes eggplant caponata though the sharpness here is more mellow. It is irresistible....

A few days before last Thanksgiving, in search of one more pie to add to my dessert spread, I began paging through Sister Pie and landed on this recipe for salted maple pie, the bakery’s take on a classic chess pie, an old-fashioned Southern dessert which typically contains cornmeal, butter, sugar, and eggs. Sister Pie’s version also contains cornmeal but is sweetened with maple syrup and is finished, once the pie cools, with a nice sprinkling of sea salt....

My cousin Kristina makes the very best molasses cookies I have ever tasted. And they’re not just the best molasses cookies ever; they’re one of the best cookies ever. Last December when I received Kristina’s recipe in the mail and discovered that her legendary molasses cookies were made with shortening, my earth sort of shattered. How was it possible for me to really really love a shortening-based cookie? But perhaps this was an opportunity, I thought....

The following afternoon we returned to Williamstown and guided by an encouraging Yelp review, stopped into Pappa Charlie’s for lunch. We ordered as we always do when we find ourselves in these sorts of spots: anything with tuna for Ben; anything with avocado for me. In a patch of grass just outside the deli, we tucked into our four-inch thick sandwiches teeming with sprouts, dripping with mayonnaise and tomato juices....

Yesterday, while three movers packed away our lives into boxes, I snuck one last dish into the oven, a mixture of steel cut oats, cinnamon, maple syrup, and coarsely chopped almonds, a dish I have been addicted to in some form or another since March. For months, I made this baked oatmeal using rolled oats and, as suggested, always mixed up the dry ingredients the night before baking, which allowed for easy preparations in the morning....

The best part, these Baked Quinoa Zucchini Bites are kid-friendly and approved! I love these zucchini bites and often make them as tea-time snacks as they’re nutritious, healthy, and incredibly flavorful! Plus, they are a perfect quick fix for our evening hunger pangs. Trust me; no one can resist these crispy bites. Even the biggest zucchini haters will drool at first sight. Once tried, they will never look at zucchini the same way – it’s so delicious!...
