The same method applies for both versions of pad thai, so if you haven’t made pad Thai before, it’s worth reading the first recipe for some great pointers. What Is in Pad Thai? Pad Thai is a rice noodle-based dish that’s often served with chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, scallions, and sometimes carrots, cilantro and/or a wedge of lime....

The Best Chocolate Brownie Recipe I have no doubt that this recipe came from the back of a box at some point, but I only have the small index card she wrote in her beautiful penmanship.

Video: How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Brownies These brownies are fudge-like, dense, and very chocolaty. They’re also very sturdy, which makes them ideal to send to someone who needs some TLC or to take to a picnic or potluck....
Treats, like ladoos, are delicious but a little tricky to make. Here’s an easy version inspired by the fall harvest in New England, where I’m from, and my favorite mithai flavors: pumpkin ladoo with coconut and hints of spice. In Massachusetts, varieties of squash and pumpkins grow in abundance in the fall, and they are wonderful in desserts. And with a bit of help from classic American fudge techniques, these ladoo come together quickly and easily....
Rumbi Rice Bowls with Rumbi Rice Copycat I love the rice bowls at Rumbi and have been determined to duplicate their Spicy Hawaiian Teriyaki sauce for some time now. The other night I finally figured it out! (Insert me doing a happy dance here.) It all started with me coming home with a bunch of the sauce, then spending the rest of the evening with different ingredients trying to duplicate it....
Growing up, the object of my lust was my grandmother’s recheio com chouriço—a kicky bread stuffing studded with piquant chunks of my aunt’s homemade sausage; it was one of the few Portuguese dishes I would eat. Fending off cousins on both sides of my twisted family tree (there were so many of us we could’ve started our own touring Christmas chorale) wasn’t easy. But I did it, and I have the pictures of me as a corpulent fourth-grader with a self-satisfied grin to prove it....

Spicy Chicken Wraps Spicy Chicken Wraps are a favorite to make for a really tasty lunch. They have a delicious creamy, spicy sauce and a delightful crunch from cabbage and peanuts. We take these on picnics because the crunchy cabbage won’t wilt like lettuce, so we will pack a bunch of these wraps up in a cooler and hit the park or the lake. My husband loves packing a couple of the chicken wraps for lunch at work, too....
French Toast This is a really good Strawberry and Cream Cheese French Toast recipe that I got from our friends, the Budges. It has become an all-time Walker family favorite. Perhaps my favorite thing about this french toast is that you can prepare it ahead of time and throw it in the oven in the morning. This allows you to have a bit more leisure in your day, which is always nice....
Here are three tips to guarantee crispy buttermilk waffles every time. I gave the “crisp factor” a lot of thought as I worked on our recipe for Classic Buttermilk Waffles. Even though the waffles looked beautiful and tasted exactly right, I found that they would lose their crispness within minutes of coming off the waffle iron. This would not do. The problem is moisture. You need some of it to make sure your waffles are tender, but too much and that extra moisture will quickly soften the waffle’s outer crust....
Baharat means “spices” in Arabic, and refers to the combination of warm, earthy spices used in the blend. There isn’t a set recipe for baharat; it differs from household to household and brand to brand! What is Baharat?

As Adeena Sussman writes in her cookbook “Sababa,” baharat is made of many warming baking spices—think cinnamon, clove and allspice—and balanced with earthy black pepper and cardamon....

Dear broccoli, meet toasted almond, and her friends grilled chicken, sesame oil, and red chili flakes. You are all going to get along swimmingly. This was one of those what-can-we-put-together-for-dinner-with-what-we-have-on-hand meals that was a surprising success.

Toasted almonds are another well-loved pantry item—great for snacking, and good for you too....
Freshly grated carrots, chopped raisins, pecans, and a handful of bold spices get folded into the thick batter. The pancakes rise into tall and fluffy stacks that are perfectly golden brown on the surface. Maple syrup is always a winner to drizzle on top, but a lightly sweetened and spiced cream cheese topping is even better. These pancakes deliver all of the characteristic taste of carrot cake, but for breakfast....
You are going to LOVE these “cheater” restaurant style refried beans. Easy to make and so flavorful, they’re the perfect dip for chips, and make the best side dish to all your favorite Mexican recipes.

Great Chili Without the Meat! For this recipe, I take basic vegan chili up a notch by adding quick-cooking bulgur wheat, which can be found in health food sections at the grocery store, and minced mushrooms. The combination of bulgur and mushrooms mimics the texture of ground beef. Don’t like mushrooms? No biggie. Skip the mushrooms and double the amount of bulgur. Have a wheat allergy? Just leave out the bulgur and double the amount of mushrooms....
