Enter dump-and-go Instant Pot recipes. If that wasn’t self-explanatory, I’m talking about recipes where you can just dump in a bunch of ingredients into the Instant Pot, turn on the pressure cook setting, walk away, and come back to a complete dinner! As pretty as this soup might look, this Thai-Inspired Red Curry Sweet Potato Soup is one such dump-and-go recipe. A lot of dump-and-go recipes I’ve seen online seem like the epitome of convenience food and seem to lack flavor—it’s like they’re just mixing canned beans, corn and tomatoes on top of a protein, and calling it a day....

Italian Turkey Meatballs I buy a package of ground turkey every week with no plan on how I am going to use them. Some days I make tacos, turkey meatloaf or ground turkey skillet.

I have SO many turkey meatball recipes in the archives, some highlights are Instant Pot Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs, Cheesy Turkey Meatball Skillet, and Asian Turkey Meatballs....

Masala or otherwise. Here’s my favourite homemade Chai Masala blend. I think it’s very good. 8 tips for the perfect cup of homemade chai 1. Balance your spices This homemade Masala Chai recipe delivers aromatic flavours as well as a warming whack of dried ginger and peppercorns. When cool, aromatic spices and warming spices work in tandem, beautiful things happen. For me, it’s the spiciness of the ginger and peppercorns, offset by cooling cardamom that takes a standard cuppa chai to the next level....

Paired with rotli, stuffed vegetable curry and rice, it’s always been our staple Sunday lunch. What is Gujarati Daal? Gujarati daal is made with oily tuver daal (arhar), also known split pigeon peas.

Best Baked Potatoes A perfect baked potato is so easy to make and this simple method is my go-to. Although you can make it fast in the microwave, baking it in the oven allows the outside to brown and crisp. Once you cut into it, the inside is soft and fluffy.

Couldn’t we just have birthdays and not get older? What I love most about my birthday are the calls, text messages, and DMs from family, friends, and all of you guys. It makes me feel so loved. The other thing I look forward to most on each birthday is celebrating with my husband.

Why this recipe works A serious umami bomb! Traditionally, gravy is made with meat, which is naturally rich in umami. So a great vegan gravy also needs that deep savory, meaty quality if it’s going to be included among your vegan Thanksgiving recipes. It’s the perfect pairing for vegan mashed potatoes and a must-make for any traditional holiday dinner. First, mushrooms. While many vegetarian gravy recipes use onions as the base, I think a holiday gravy needs something bolder and richer in flavor....
