This recipe is brought to you in partnership with Red Star Yeast. Have you ever tried my everything bagel pull apart bread? It is, without a doubt, one of the best bread recipes to come out of my kitchen. I wanted something equally as snack-y and satisfying for this holiday season, so I swapped in some everyday foolproof ingredients like rosemary, butter, and parmesan cheese. I don’t think a finished recipe has ever disappeared faster in my house....

Have you ever made rugelach before? I know it looks ultra fancy and maybe a little intimidating. Truth is, it’s just a matter of mixing up a dough, chilling it, and rolling it up with filling inside.

What is Shahi Tukda? This version of bread pudding was inspired by an Indian dessert called shahi tukda, aka the royal morsel that arose in the Moghul Empire’s kitchens. It might owe its origin to the Egyptian desert, Um Ali. At its very essence, shahi tukda is a simple yet elegant way to use up bread, just like people make bread pudding in the West. In the original recipe for shahi tukda, pieces of bread are fried in ghee and then served with a spiced concoction of sweetened milk (a lot of people like to use condensed milk), dried fruit, and nuts....

This recipe I’ve learnt from my MIL and she usually uses a pressure cooker to make this dish. But you can use regular cooking vessel too just that lentils take longer to cook that way.

This week’s soup was inspired by Marc Matsumoto of [No Recipes]. Not only are his recipes easy to prepare and delicious but his skills with the camera make his blog an alluring treat. His most recent post on the Katsudon gave me a bit of inspiration on creating a Far-East fusion recipe for a chicken and squash yogurt soup. By using Panko crumbs, I was able to create a perfect crispy layer to my chicken that went along great with my creamy (without any added cream) yogurt based squash soup....

There are times when leftovers rescue my meals. I’m hoping that’s their sole existence to save time in the kitchen so that I can spend the rest of my time doing other things or not doing anything. Either way, I think of leftovers as my lifeboat. Now it’s rare that we have leftovers when it comes to tandoori chicken but when we do there’s a dish that I love to make at home, especially when I’m exhausted from everything that’s happened during the day....

Tuna poke is a traditional Hawaiian salad of raw tuna marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, and onions. Here it’s served over sushi rice with your favorite toppings. Many years ago, after visiting our son at sleepaway camp during the summer, Michael and I spent a weekend at a a spa resort in the Poconos called The Lodge at Woodloch. I love all that Zen spa stuff, but Michael joked that the place was named “Woodloch” because they lock you in the woods with nothing to do and starve you with teeny-tiny portions....
