Air Fried Herb and Cheese Frittata I’ve made several frittatas in my Instant Pot, like my Ham & Pepper Frittata, or my Asparagus and Cheese Frittata, but I hadn’t ever made an air fried frittata before. I decided I wanted to figure out how to do that because I love how easy my Air Fryer is to use! I use my Instant Pot so often that sometimes it just isn’t available for me to use because I’m cooking something else in it....

Peppermint screams flashy red-and-white, as evidenced by recipes like peppermint bark and peppermint mocha cookies. I love mint and chocolate, but today we’re using peppermint’s smooth green counterpart: cool crème de menthe—”mint cream”—for these decadent chocolate cookies. Another reader, Janet, commented: “Made these and the first word that comes to mind is ‘AMAZING!’ I had to quickly freeze a dozen since my husband devoured six before they even had a chance to cool....

I love avocados, so creating recipes to make with avocados makes sense to me now. The development of different avocado recipes started when my daughter Inaaya began her solids journey. The baby version of this pasta recipe was to blitz avocado, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, and basil. I used to blitz it in a blender and make it a very creamy sauce. I used to mix it with pasta and offer it to her, and wow my baby would just devour it!...

Bread making is not as difficult as I imagined it to be. It does take practice, good yeast and a lot of kneading to achieve a reasonably good loaf of bread. I’m satisfied at the outcome of my second attempt at bread making but definitely need to improve and work on my bread making skills to produce that perfectly risen loaf with a perfect crumb and crust. Preparation time: 20 mts Rising of dough: 1 1/2 – 2 hrs Baking: 1/2 hr Ingredients for White Bread Recipe: 1 kg all-purpose flour 2 tbsps (20 gms) fresh yeast 1 1/2 tbsps granulated sugar 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 1 cup lukewarm milk (as warm as a baby’s milk bottle) 1 3/4 – 2 cups lukewarm water (approx) water for brushing melted butter for greasing and brushing Place the all-purpose flour and salt on a flat work surface and combine....

I don’t cook beetroot very often. Not that I do not like it but folks at home are not too fond of it. But I do try to incorporate it into my cooking keeping in mind the tremendous health benefits of beetroot. I often make a dry saute or a stir fry which is well received at home. Not only does it add some color to the meal but is also great on flavor....

It amazes me how different it is culturally within India to make our traditional recipes. I love the essence of cooking South Indian Food, maybe because the Prep for making every curry from scratch somehow fascinates me. And on the other hand, I love to cook the Gujarati Recipes which I grew up eating. So we have alternating chances to each of Western and Southern Indian Recipes. The beautiful Black Eyed Peas in Coconut Curry is our favorite....

Spoiler alert: I love making desserts. But I also love coming up with healthier dessert recipe ideas for my family. Add a little summertime heat wave and enter my homemade yogurt popsicles. You can make them all sorts of ways. Change up the yogurt (although in my opinion you can’t beat the creamy tartness of Greek yogurt) or try different types of fruit for the puree. Add a little agave or honey, and then pop them in the freezer....

But this year I had a hard time deciding on a cherry dessert, so I asked you in my latest recipe testing post which you prefer: (1) streusel-topped crisp or (2) biscuit-topped cobbler. The results were pretty even, but the majority swayed toward crisp. There’s a lot of love out there for berry cobbler (and traditional pie crust, of course!), but nothing can live up to heaps of oatmeal streusel....
