I don’t know a single person that doesn’t know what a Gulab Jamun is! It’s definitely the most famous and iconic Indian dessert out there. It is common at restaurants, festivals, weddings, parties, and as a dessert at people’s homes. I’ve often heard people describe them as little milk-based donuts that are fried and soaked in syrup flavored with cardamom, rose, and saffron. They’re soft, squishy, juicy, and so fragrant....

Today, something amazing happened; this recipe was born. We applied some of the basics from our previous bacon roasted potatoes (oh dear those were luscious and crisp), but since we were cooking alot today, I wanted something simple and easier....

Coffee’s something that we pour into a cup. Some of us like our coffee like the way we like our sesame seeds: black. Some of us sip our cup of joe with a generous splash of milk and sugar. But why should you mix coffee beans and carrots together? Because we made a pact to embark on food adventures this year and I’m holding you to that promise. The key to this recipe is thin carrots....
Best French Onion Soup Recipe It’s not shocking to learn, but did you know that onion soups have actually been around since Roman times!?! Then more modern versions originated in Paris in the 18th Century, which is why this recipe is called French onion soup. Yet, it didn’t become really popular in the United States until the 1960s when there was a lot of interest in French cuisine, probably because of Julia Child....

The dried cranberries really dress up the beans, giving them that special occasion quality. This dish is lighter than our previous green bean recipes (green beans with shaved almonds and green beans with mushrooms) because it uses olive oil in leu of butter, but you won’t miss it! My son loves green beans (go figure), so we try to get creative....
Why You’ll Love Them They are nourishing. Made with applesauce and freshly chopped apple, this muffin recipe has plenty of apple flavor, and added fiber. They are fluffy. Some gluten-free recipes can turn out dense or dry, but these muffins are perfectly moist, with a fluffy texture you’ll love. They aren’t too sweet. This recipe is naturally sweetened with coconut sugar, which is slightly less sweet than white sugar. As a result, these muffins are lightly sweet, with tender bites of apple pieces throughout....
We used to cook lamb only for Easter, but I have since discovered the beauty of a medium-rare oven roasted rack of lamb. It really is delicious and mouth watering. I think most people try and stay away from lamb because of its strong flavor and probably most importantly, not knowing how to cook it. I’ve since learned that if you cook it right, lamb really is a beautiful thing....
Be sure to serve this with a side of greens and beans! Honey Glazed Salmon I am so excited about this recipe. The sticky-sweet glaze adds the most incredible flavor to the perfectly cooked salmon. (Really– it’s cooked to perfection, with no flipping needed!) The salmon is seared in the skillet for a few minutes before being basted with this incredible glaze. It’s then baked in the oven and broiled at the end for a caramelized finish that you would swear came from a restaurant!...
I will be the first to admit that canned chickpeas are very convenient for weeknight meals. However, I actually prefer chickpeas cooked slightly al dente, when they still have a light crunch as I bite into them. They’re better for salads, and I love snacking on them. And yes, I do actually eat chickpeas as a snack. Of course, others may prefer chickpeas on the softer side and that’s completely fine!...
Fermenting my own veggies has always terrified me, since I was convinced I’d probably do it wrong and wind up with botulism. But people have been eating fermented food for centuries, so it can’t be as scary as it sounds, right? Right. Plus, it’s loaded with friendly bacteria for your gut, which has been shown to improve digestion and the absorption of vitamins and minerals. So, eat your (fermented) veggies....

Foolproof Delicious Lamb Korma Recipe I have to admit that I only eat lamb about a couple times per year, so when I actually do eat it, I want it to be worth it. This Lamb Korma is definitely worth it.
