Celebrate Holidays With Pholourie I grew up in an interfaith home, where we celebrated both Christian and Hindu holidays. We made pholourie especially during Hindu holidays like Holi and Diwali as well as for Christmas. For Holi, we made a lot of sweeter snacks, but this savory item was always included. They were the perfect balance of flavors and texture—airy with a crisp outer layer and fluffy on the inside with prominent cumin and split pea flavor....
How to Make Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup To make this homemade condensed cream of chicken soup, I took a page from making gumbo and started with a roux, which is a combination of fat and flour that helps to thicken soups, intensify flavors and keep the fat from separating out from the other liquids in the soup. The darker the roux the more flavorful the soup, but how dark you go is up to you....

The same cut can also be called bottom sirloin roast or triangle roast. It is a small roast usually weighing 1 ½ to 2 pounds. How to Cook Tri-Tip Tri-tip is a versatile cut of beef with great flavor....
This is a simpler version of the full-on braised short ribs, but no less delicious. Instead of homemade pasta, cheesy grits are a rich serve-along. Easy Short Ribs in the Slow Cooker It’s my little secret that short ribs are actually one of the easiest dinners I make. I won’t tell if you don’t. They are essentially impossible to overcook unless you completely forgot about them for…longer than you’d ever actually forget about them....

What is Yorkshire Pudding? Not a custard, Yorkshire pudding is more like a cross between a soufflé and a cheese puff (without the cheese). The batter is like a very thin pancake batter, which you pour into a hot casserole dish over drippings from roast beef or prime rib. It then puffs up like a chef’s hat, only to collapse soon after you remove it from the oven. Given that it’s loaded with beef drippings (read fat) or butter, or both, Yorkshire pudding is probably not the thing you want to eat regularly if you are watching your waistline....
A California Roll is essentially a sushi roll with avocado on the inside, which is my favorite part of the dish. But when you have to pay $14 for a California Roll at your local sushi bar, it’s time to think about making them at home. California Rolls You can either buy Nori sheets at most Asian grocery stores or make sure that you have some on hand before starting out on this recipe....
But I have to admit that while I enjoy sipping cocktails, I am an extremely lazy maker of cocktails. Gin and tonics are about as fancy as I typically get, people. This is why I am a huge fan of Maggie Hoffman’s latest cocktail book, Batch Cocktails. It is full of make-ahead, big-batch cocktails for lazy souls such as myself. What Is a Batch Cocktail? A batch cocktail is one that can be made, assembled, and pitcher-ed (technical term) entirely, or almost entirely, ahead of time....
Caramel monkey bread is made with balls of fluffy homemade dough baked together in a buttery caramel sauce. The pillowy dough puffs up perfectly, while the sauce seeps in every nook and cranny and drops down all over the rolls after it’s baked in a bundt pan. It’s a deliciously sweet and sticky breakfast treat that your whole family will love!This monkey bread is extra special with caramel sauce. This monkey bread can be made for breakfast, a snack, or dessert after dinner....
It can made in a few different forms. Either served like an Italian bruschetta with the tomatoes and cheese crumbled on top of rusks (savory biscuits), or deconstructed into a salad— which is my favorite way of eating it and what this recipe suggests. Served Dakos salad as part of a mezze spread, or perhaps alongside a barbecue, but it’s also substantial enough to eat as a meal in and of itself....
Air Fryer Donuts We love to cook all kinds of recipes, but baking holds a special place in our hearts. Whether you are making a pie, a cake, or any other kind of dessert, we have recipes that will help you make those special memories in the kitchen! The alleged promise of an Air Fryer is to make traditionally fried foods without oil (or at least with much less oil). So, why not donuts?...
Thanksgiving just isn’t Thanksgiving without a heaping helping of savory stuffing on your plate next to your turkey and cranberry sauce. But when we had some family members who needed to go gluten free, finding a stuffing alternative was a bit of a task. Nobody should have to skimp on Thanksgiving, no matter their dietary needs. What I love MOST about this recipe is that you REALLY don’t have to make two different stuffings (one non GF and one GF), just make it all GF and you won’t get any complaints....
Grilled Chicken Pasta Primavera This Grilled Chicken Pasta Primavera is a twist on a version that my mother in law makes, and just happens to be my husband’s favorite. She was so kind to share this recipe with me so I can share it with you. The only thing I switched was that we grilled the chicken on an outdoor grill instead of cooking it over the stove. Grilled chicken paired with fresh summer veggies and garden herbs with a healthy sauce makes this a perfect summer supper that you can enjoy on the patio with a tossed salad, crusty bread and a tall glass of lemonade....
Yay! I love it when I hear things like this. At our house a green vegetable is always served with dinner, and half the time it’s some sort of green like chard, kale, spinach, mustard greens, or collards. It’s my not-so-secret mission in my heart of hearts to convert everyone to loving their greens. Of course, it’s hard to go wrong when you mix kale with Italian sausage and white beans....
It’s a great salsa to serve with chips for a gathering, and it’s terrific as a side to fish dishes such as halibut or salmon. And fish tacos? Mango salsa is perfect for fish tacos. What Does Mango Taste Like? The tropical flavor of mangoes creates a sweeter salsa than the traditional tomato-based version. When ripe, the taste of a mango can be similar to that of a ripe peach crossed with pineapple, and when added to salsa, it is particularly complementary to seafood....

Yes, it does use a lot of oil, but you can reuse it. Just put it in the fridge and use the oil for salad dressings or to fry something else in—it will add a certain “artichokiness” to your next dish. Oil keeps its heat well, so use that to your advantage here: Undercook the artichoke hearts, then keep them in the hot oil until it cools. You run a far less risk of turning them into mush that way....
