This recipe is likely a bit more sophisticated in flavor than the traditional sloppy joe meat you ate as a child – thanks to the addition of smoked paprika, molasses and a touch of cayenne. I’m sure you’ll love the sauce! Once the meat is done cooking in your instant pot, you can hit the “sauté” function to reduce some of the liquid. That’ll keep the sloppy joes from becoming a bit too sloppy....

Even if you’re a first timer, you can have confidence in this turkey breast recipe – it’s been viewed over 3 million times and has hundreds of glowing reviews!❤️ Slow cooker turkey breast Turkey breast is notoriously lean so the only way to guarantee it comes out juicy if you roast it in the oven is to brine it – dry or wet brine. If you don’t brine it, then even if you use a meat thermometer, it is extremely difficult to roast the turkey breast perfectly....

Am I the only one romanced by the idea of breakfast in bed but actually find it really impractical? It is so awkward to use cutlery with a tray gingerly balanced on your lap. And if it’s toast, pastries or muffins, I find myself holding the plate right up under my chin as I eat it just to make sure that I don’t get crumbs in my bed. So here’s the thing about this Mini French Toast....

This mixed veg poricha kootu, that is how we call at home, is one the healthy and simple recipe, which my athai makes for us....

You might be wondering how that happened. I’ll tell you (obviously). Here’s the simplified version of Mulligatawny soup’s complicated past: Mulligatawny soup started out as an Indian recipe. Mulligatawny is actually a Tamil word that means “pepper-water.” Like the description, this dish was a very thin and spicy lentil broth typically served overtop rice. Definitely a far cry from the thick and creamy version you might be accustomed to. When Britain ruled over India (1858-1947), the British are said to have wanted a soup....

And what I mean by that is… when you cook eggs, you don’t have to worry about dirtying up utensils by touching raw meat or cutting off the fat. I know all of that takes very little time, but still. On my lazy days, eggs are what’s for dinner. This Punjabi egg curry is one of my favorite go-to egg recipes because not only is it easy to make; it’s also incredibly flavorful....
