Spring Leek and Lemon Chicken Patties with Steamed Veggie Salad
Earlier this year, we set a goal of eliminating most of the microwave cooking in our home. As a result, the stockpile of homemade frozen meals that got us through the workweek no longer held much significance. I could make the meal from scratch in the same time it took to defrost it in the…
South Indian Rice with Lentils (Bisi Bele Bhath)
One-pot meals are the bee’s knees, wouldn’t you agree? The prep time is minimal, ingredients are simple, your kitchen doesn’t get all messy, and dinner is ready in under an hour. I like that.

Spring Fling Pasta Salad + How to Clean and Cook Artichoke Hearts
Happy Monday, all! How was your long weekend? Ours was fabulous. Very long, relaxing, and chocolate filled, just as I suspected. The Easter bunny stopped by Sunday morning, delivering far more chocolate than I know what to do with. I was impressed to find little treat bags tied with bright green bows. The bunny sure…

For more on the flavors of India series, check out: Aloo Palak, Payasam Pudding, Gluten-free naan and Malai Kofta. A dish called malai kofta was one of the 6 meals we chose to make during our Indian cooking class. I’d never heard of it, but the name sounded cool so I shrugged it off and…
