I originally published this recipe in 2014 and have since added new photos and more helpful success tips. Cranberry is an underrated flavor in the fall and winter months. Often overshadowed by pumpkin, apple, and gingerbread, this tart beauty deserves its own spotlight. It is, afterall, perfectly hot pink when baked. 😉 I love cranberry and orange together, and the two lend a POP of vibrant flavor to today’s muffins....

As a blogger, I create a lot of different recipes for Kitchen Sanctuary and for other websites too. That means we’re usually eating something different at least 3 or 4 times a week. This recipe (and the beef version) is one of those old favourites on my regular recipe rotation list for those days I don’t have to cook up something new. Super quick to prepare and easily made gluten free too....

One of my favourite ways to whip up a really tasty potato side dish – with minimal effort. No need to go to the effort of peeling and slicing potatoes – just bung a load of potatoes in a pan and boil until tender, then transfer to a tin, give them a quick smash with a spoon and drizzle in oil. Sprinkle with seasoning and spices, and let them crisp up in the oven....

Cauliflower cheese often involves making a roux with flour, butter and milk. That’s all very well if the cauliflower cheese is the main item on your menu, but when you’re making it as part of a larger meal – like a full-on roast dinner, it can take up time and pan space. I rarely use the roux-method now, preferring this version when I’m prepping lots of dishes. Why use this easy method over the roux method?...

The recipe below includes a small batch homemade pesto recipe that yields about 1/2 cup, which is just enough for 1 pizza. You need a food processor or blender to make it. If you love pesto and want extras, make a double batch, which is basically the recipe on my homemade pesto page. You can, of course, use your own favorite recipe for pesto or a jar of quality store-bought pesto....

Now with sugar this is the thing - you could use regular white sugar or brown sugar or coconut palm sugar (considered healthier than white sugar). If using brown or coconut sugar your cookies are going to be brown in color and a impart a a nice caramel flavor and that tastes good too. You can do a mix of white and brown sugar too. But I personally like the combination for whole wheat flour, coconut oil and regular white sugar so that’s what I’m sharing in this post....

About Coconut Macaroons A macaroon is a bite-sized baked confection made with an egg white whipped to stiff peaks then combined with sugar, nuts, or coconut (or both) and then baked till golden crisp. These Italian dessert bites are often confused with the French Macaron due to similarity in names but these are two are completely different cookies. French Macaron is a meringue-based sandwich cookie with a smooth top, flat base, and ruffled feet and filled with ganache....

When Renée and Sherrie asked me to join their blogger summer drink special, I wasn’t sure if I should. You see, I have never, ever in the past four years created a cocktail for this blog. It made me nervous and after I said yes to the girls, I kept telling myself, “Why the heck did you say yes?” Since I rarely make my own cocktails at home, I wasn’t sure how this would pan out....

What is Kadhi? Kadhi is a delicious curry made from a mix of yogurt and chickpea flour, boiled until cooked and tempered with whole spices. Kadhi is a very popular recipe in India, and every state and region has its own way to prepare this delicious recipe. While Punjabi Kadhi is made similarly, turmeric is added while cooking the yogurt and chickpea flour, followed by adding onion fritters. In some other states in the Northern Part of India, Chickpea Flour Fritters are added to the kadhi....

I originally published this recipe in 2018 and have made them dozens of times since. I began adjusting the leaveners so the muffins rise a little taller, taste a little fluffier, and no longer have a chemical aftertaste from excess baking soda. I also slightly increased the milk so the muffins don’t taste as dense. The written printable recipe below includes these slight changes. I know you’ll love the muffins even more now!...

Between wall painting and backyard cleaning, there was a mini blogger reunion last weekend and I got to spend some time with the lovely Molly and Lindsey who were visiting the San Francisco Bay on a quick trip for work. Oddly enough, it was also a reunion of sorts for those of us that live in the Bay but don’t get a chance to meet each other as often as we’d like to....

Samosas are one of my favourite Indian appetisers. That delicious savoury pastry is so good! It’s hard to describe – kind of buttery, crumbly, with a little bit of chewiness.Then filled with a mildly spiced, tender potato and pea filling – so tasty! Ajwain seeds (also know as carom seeds) These little seeds look similar to caraway seeds, and they’re of the same family, but taste very different. They have a pungent aniseed-like flavour....

I have grown up eating rice every single day of my life. Every day my mom would whip up meals that would have rotis, 2 different vegetable sides, a side of lentils, and rice. I hear from my readers that they struggle to make perfectly fluffy basmati rice at home, and that it turns out sticky and soggy. So I thought of sharing my tips and tricks with you guys....

I’m beginning the new year with a favorite appetizer, Chilli Paneer. Last week, I prepared a vegetarian Indo-Chinese meal consisting of Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup, Chilli Paneer and Vegetable Soft Noodles with Schezwan Vegetables. Control the level of spice by reducing the amount of red chillis. Use spring onion white and greens for that authentic restaurant-style appetizer look and flavor. 1 Heat oil in a flat non-stick pan, place the thinly coated paneer pieces next to one another and shallow fry till brown....
