I had been craving some Indian food last week and so we drove clear across town to our favorite restaurant to get some. But I would be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t more than a little disappointed that there was no Vindaloo on the menu that day but a dish they did have in its place was Palak Chole.

Medianoche Cuban Sandwiches
Authentic Cuban bread is difficult to find in our area, so we’ve prepared these Cuban Sliders which are traditionally served with sweet bread. Medianoche Cuban sandwiches are aptly named since Medianoche, or midnight is typically when these small sandwiches are usually eaten after a night of dancing. These sandwiches were an absolute …
Plantain Chips with Mojo Vinaigrette
Homemade Green Plantain Chips with Mojo Vinaigrette is so easy to make and are reminiscent of the style chips served in the Cuban cafes I’ve eaten at in Florida. They were the perfect accompaniment for our Cuban Theme Party (post coming Sept 21). Because of the starchiness of the plantains, …
5-Minute Classic Cuban Mojitos
The classic Cuban mojito is a traditional Cuban cocktail made with lime, mint, and rum. If you’re looking for a simple, thirst-quenching drink to get through the summer heat, this may very well be your new favorite cocktail.
Instant Indian-Style Chai Tea Mix
Were it not for my best friend, Katie, I probably would have never gotten around to trying chai. In fact, when she asked (many years ago now) if I’d tried it, I’d never actually ever even heard of it. By then, it was already a staple in the trendy coffee …
Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets
Like many, I am a fan of Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets. It’s one the only fast food nuggets I will allow my daughter to eat on occasion but recently I looked up the list of nugget ingredients and with all of the good qualities Chick-fil-A has, I was surprised at a few of …
Potstickers
By far, one of my favorite Asian foods is potstickers. I would love to eat them more often but always hate the exorbitant price they carry in our local restaurants. At about $7 or more for 6 as an appetizer, we just don’t order them often. In my local Asian …
Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
When I saw this recipe, I knew it would be an instant crowd pleaser. Similar to the chocolate chip cookie skillets sold in restaurants like Chilis, we wanted to be able to re-create it at home. When I showed my daughter the picture of the cookie in the …
Chicken Pasta Salad
Chicken Pasta salad is an incredibly versatile summer dish. Creamy and delicious, it’s portable for picnics and potlucks and easy to prepare. We actually prepare pasta salads all year long. You can start this dish with baked, broiled, grilled, or smoked chicken. If you want to use up a leftover …
Bacon Date Blondies
These whole grain blondies are my new go to recipe which I found in Eating Well Magazine, May/June 2015 issue. These are made with whole wheat flour but all-purpose can easily be substituted if you prefer. These contain half the calories of a traditional blondie since they use less butter and 30% less sugar but believe me when I say you will never miss it. The best part is that these can be customized any way you’d like. Change out the add-ins and the combinations are endless.
