As much as I love the crispy crust that comes with shallow frying sausage patties on a cast-iron skillet, I have to say that I don’t love the mess it leaves behind. Oil splatters alllll over the stovetop. When you bake sausage patties in the oven, chances are you’ll make homemade sausage more often. Baked sausage patties make less of a mess and there’s no need to babysit a hot pan on the stove....

Café de Paris butter – sauce for steak Despite its name, Café de Paris butter was actually born in Switzerland, at Restaurant Café de Paris in Geneva back in 1941. It is traditionally an emulsified butter sauce that’s poured over steak, and the original secret recipe is still served today at restaurants such the L’Entrecote group’s steakhouses in France, Switzerland and elsewhere. These days you’ll find versions of Café de Paris sauce more often served instead as convenient, flavoured butter rounds, like this recipe....

Chaat masala is one of the popular spice in Indian cuisine. It is widely used in Indian chaat recipes like Khakra chaat, Chaat sundal Aloo tikki chaat, and so on. I have always been using store-bought powder in all my recipes. I have been thinking to try this recipe at home for a long time. Recently i have posted Homemade Biryani masala recipe. I have also posted Homemade Garam masala recipe in Jeyashris kitchen....

What is Chana Masala? Chana Masala, also known as Chole (pronounced Cho-lay), is a Punjabi dish where chickpeas are cooked in a spicy, flavorful onion-tomato gravy. But not too much gravy. It’s popular Indian street food with rich, complex flavors. Spices are everything when it comes to making Punjabi Chole. I have tested this recipe many times to perfect my spice combination, and I know you will love it. There are two spices in particular that make this dish: dried mango powder (amchur), which adds tanginess, and roasted cumin powder, which adds depth and aroma to the dish....

An easy kid’s friendly pasta recipe with a homemade tomato-based sauce. This cheesy pasta recipe is made using easily available ingredients at home.

Preheat the oven at 160 degrees for 5 minutes and bake it till the cheese melts. Serve with tomato ketchup. This can be made in a sandwich maker also. You can make this in Microwave too. If making in microwave, toast the bread on tawa with little butter and then spread the cheese mixture onto the toasted bread and microwave for 2 minutes....

Instead of telling you about how great these gluten-free cinnamon raisin oatmeal muffins are – I’m going to do something a little different for today’s blog post! I’ve decided to interview my husband, Roby about this recipe. Just to give you some background on Roby – all you really need to know is that he thinks he’s really funny, likes to pull my leg and enjoys telling/hearing dad jokes. Bold = me (Ashley) Italics = Roby....

Creamy Avocado Dressing This is a dressing that uses avocado to make it creamy, rather than mayonnaise or loads of oil. It doesn’t taste very avocado-ey because avocados are dense so it needs to be thinned out to make it pourable as a dressing. Rather, think of the avocado as a better-for-you means to get a creamy dressing fix! Excellent use for avocados that are a bit overripe or with brown spotty bits that don’t look appealing enough to use in salads....

Creamy Broccoli Casserole I’m about as much of a carnivore as a girl can be. And yet, even I would happily have this Broccoli Casserole for dinner any night of the week. Not even just as a side. As the main. It’s that good. I mean, this isn’t just another boring broccoli dish. THIS is broccoli baked with thick, creamy sauce that’s loaded with cheesy parmesan and garlic flavours – made from scratch without canned soup (the thought never crossed my mind, but apparently there are many recipes that do this!...

When I was a kid, I HATED turmeric milk, also known as haldi ka doodh. In my six-year-old mind, there was nothing “golden” about golden milk. I treated it like medicine, because that’s how my parents gave it to me. If I had a minor cold or a tummy ache, then you can bet my mom or dad were making me a cup of turmeric milk. Fast forward to my twenties (ack, now 30s…) and I’m a golden milk believer....

The most delicious soup made with melt-in-your-mouth red lentils and ham! Topped with crispy bits of ham on top – this is going to be your go-to soup this holiday season. We decided that since this was Tony’s FIRST CHRISTMAS that we would host a Christmas party! After the party, we had a good amount of ham leftover, which was awesome because the truth is that I like ham better as an ingredient in a recipe than on its own....
