Mango Kulfi Pie…

I’ve attempted the mango dessert I’ve been wanting to try after making this Strawberry one. It’s actually pretty easy and it taste just like Mango Kulfi without all the work. Using only mango pulp, sweetened milk and some crushed cardamon seeds, freeze for 2 hours and my invention is made. 🙂 I have this sitting…

French Onion Soup with Ciabata Bread

Tonight for dinner I needed to have cheese, its’ been so long and my favorite cheese is Fontina. So, what better idea than to have French Onion Soup. Perfect, light and satisfying…. I grabbed this recipe from Chief genius herself, Giada!

Spicy Okra

So, I’m on an Indian kick the last couple of days and I borrowed another recipe from Manjula’s kitchen. This is so tasty! The area of India my husband grew up in this dish is called Pinda. Very similar to how my mother in law makes it and so tasty. That’s the thing about India,…

Indian Yellow Fried Rice

There are only two kinds of rice I enjoy eating, Thai Fried Rice and Indian Yellow fried rice, just scrumptious. If I can eat rice as my main meal and be satisfied that is how I know it is good, unlike plain white rice, Mexican or Chinese rice where it needs to accompany some other…

Chicken Marsala

I don’t use chicken breast very often when I cook, I prefer the taste of legs and thighs. So, aside from a few stir fry dishes, I make a tasty Chicken Marsala dish. It’s best to either buy pounded chicken or pound it down yourself to 1/4 inch thickness as the flavors of the sauce…

Strawberry Frozen Pie

I’ve had this little Pillsbury baking book for almost two years now and every summer I swear to make this and don’t. Well, let’s call this my intro to Spring…. My great grandmother from my mom’s side of the family made this for us when we were kids. I can still remember my first bite…

Misoyaki Salmon

I think I stumbled on the most delicious Salmon Recipe yet… I found it at Stickey, Goey, Creamy, Chewy. The polenta I made to go with it was like eating paste so I will not bother posting that sucker. (I’ve made the following adjustments to my recipe, I only used 1/2 cup of sugar and…

Porto’s Bakery- Happy Birthday To Me.. ;)

One of the best bakeries around town is Porto’s, and most people that love the taste of really amazing baked goods knows about this place. You must love sweets to appreciate this place. For my birthday today, my husband got me the triple white Chocolate Mouse cake…..Can I just say, how @*#@**^! insane this cake…

BBQ Smoked Shrimp

This is one of my favorite type of shrimp dishes to make. Though I’m not a big shrimp fan to begin with, it’s not so bad to have every once in a while. This recipe came from Food and Wine May 2006. Just by looking at the stove in these pictures, this was way before…

Some Kind Of Beautiful….

I had to share my beautiful pictures of the Mountain getaway trip we went on this weekend….Click on the picture to see a bigger version. 🙂 Since we met up with some friends there, I decided to bake up a tasty apple pie, though I have posted pictures of it before I think it photos…

Cookies With Chocolate Filling

Cookies with Chocolate Creme filling. I found this in an European Butter advertisement in my cooking light magazine. I am one to believe what kind of butter you use makes all the difference in the taste of what you are cooking and baking. Though I know lots of bakers are big believers of unsalted butter…

Striped Bass Meuniere

I found this delicious recipe in Cooking Light . Though I did not use Bass, but any firm fish was recommended either Mahi Mahi or Halibut. I used Halibut and I added to this recipe 1 tsp of Cayenne and 1 tsp of Mexican Chili Powder and it gave it so much more flavor. As…
