This Thai-style pork fried rice comes together in under 30 minutes, and it makes a satisfying one-dish meal. Somewhere near the top of the list of things that make me happy as a mom is discovering a weeknight recipe my whole family loves—and if it can be made inexpensively from pantry staples and a just few fresh ingredients from the supermarket, all the better. This Thai-style pork fried rice, a variation on my favorite traditional fried rice, is one of those recipes, and it comes together in under 30 minutes....

So What is Parfait Parfait is a dessert or snack made with layers usually icecream (or yogurt or whipped cream), fruits and nuts. There are different types of parfaits’s like dessert parfait or breakfast parfaits which are getting very popular these days as they are healthy and satiating. For today’s post I’m sharing a breakfast and snack parfait made of yogurt, fruit and granola which we have been loving these days I call it a Tropical Parfait because it consists of layers of coconut yogurt, my Coconut Cardamom Granola and some tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, kiwi, strawberries....

This is a basic chocolate truffle recipe and one cannot go wrong with it. Bitter sweet chocolate works best but I used both milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The key is to use good quality ingredients. These have a melt in the mouth texture and the next time I make them I will coat them with tempered chocolate. Nehal can finish 2 to 3 truffles in one go and loves them plain without any adornment....

I LOVE soup season! There’s something about bowl food that’s so comforting. Recently we’ve been serving a lot of dinners on our knees. We’ve been batch filming lots of recipe videos lately, so the kitchen table is piled high with equipment – meaning we’re all squashed up on the sofa, getting through multiple episodes of Marvel’s Agents of Shield (quite enjoying watching it all together as a family, but trying not to feel the mum-guilt of not sitting at the table)....

As chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting, and again as chocolate cupcakes with raspberry frosting. I love these chocolate cupcakes so much because their flavor is spot on....

Typical dessert flavors this time of year: sweet potato, apple, caramel, pumpkin, spice. What’s key lime doing here? If you’re up for breaking tradition, consider these upside down key lime pies. This dessert recipe yields only 4-6 servings, which is convenient for smaller gatherings. They’re make-ahead, individually portioned, and just plain FUN. Plus, a light and refreshing dessert especially hits the spot after a heavier meal. Give your rolling pin and pie crust recipe a break....

Today’s chocolate bark came purely from my need to combine sprinkles and candy hearts. The pink swirls are a bonus. All we’re really doing is combining semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate. We’ll add some pink candy melts to the white chocolate to create that cotton candy pink shade. We’ll swirl it, we’ll top it, we’ll eat it with our sweethearts. Or alone with a bottle of wine… either way, it’s great!...

The English name of ‘amla’ — Indian gooseberry — denotes that it is indigenous to India. Its a light green fruit and grows on a small tree which is found in wet forests of hill areas throughout the Indian subcontinent. Though all parts of the tree have medicinal value, it is the fruit which is highly potent. It is believed that what gold is to the minerals, amla is to the herbs....

Thai Baked Yellow Chicken Curry I try to come up with recipes that use the same ingredients, but make two flavors or two different dishes. This was one package of chicken thighs (about six, boneless, skinless thighs) and one can of coconut milk. I ended up making Yellow Chicken Curry and an Indian Style Coconut Milk chicken thighs. I love that it’s baked, which means not only is it hands off, but the coconut milk makes an easy small amount of sauce with which to baste the chicken....

Enter the bundt cake. What Makes A Bundt Cake Special? Nostalgia and memories aside, I think there is one important reason we’re drawn to bundt cakes. Bundt cakes are an easy way to make a simple cake look fancy. Even an ordinary cake baked in a bundt takes on a majestic shape defined by those characteristic repeated geometric patterns making it look elegant. I own a few bundt pans (not too many), some that I’ve purchased and others that I’ve found at thrift stores....

I guess it still wasn’t the big crab season, so we did miss out on sampling some fresh Maryland blue crabs but thankfully, I can find those in D.C. easily. Here are some photographs that I took on this trip that I’d thought I share with you.

Welcome back to my Baking Basics series! Today I’m discussing one of the most confusing subjects in the entire realm of baking. What is the difference between baking powder and baking soda? Are they the same? Can I sub one for the other without changing anything else? If there is one thing that you take away from today’s lesson, let it be this: baking powder and baking soda are absolutely not the same....
