A perfectly roasted chicken with beautiful crispy brown skin is a thing of beauty that everyone seems to enjoy. A simple roast chicken consists of coating the chicken in a good amount of salt, pepper, some herbs, and then roasting it. While this is a delicious way to make roast chicken, it’s good to change it up a bit and try new marinades like this green spiced masala. Growing up, roast chicken was a dish that my parents made exclusively for thanksgiving. My dad used to roast chicken for ...

Spicy turkey meatballs in tomato sauce
I had several new posts lined up for this week and this one (spicy turkey meatballs) was not one of them. I was out of commission due to a cold and lost all motivation to be in the kitchen. I literally despise being sick; it’s absolutely depressing and boring. While I’m incapacitated, I’ve been nourishing myself with some comfort food such as my sweet corn soup and these spicy turkey meatballs. Since I made the effort to cook, I thought I might as well photograph these meatballs and share the ...
Spinach and swiss chard green soup
Green soup probably doesn’t sound the most appetizing, but trust me when I tell you, this soup is surprisingly delicious, comforting, and not to mention, super nutritious. I crave it all the time. Here in Dallas, it’s been gloomy and raining the past few days. It’s finally beginning to feel like autumn is here. Which means it’s time for oversized sweaters, cozy blankets, holiday seasons, and comforting food. Though I enjoy cooler weather, it makes me crave comfort foods that are not ...
Asian fusion weeknight chicken stir-fry
Towards the end of the week, I often find myself in a dilemma as to what to cook for dinner. Groceries at home are usually running low, the motivation to cook is just as low, and all I can find are odds and ends in the refrigerator. I always think to myself, “let’s just get take out and call it a night”, but then I struggle with the fact that I’m letting those last few vegetables and meat still left in the refrigerator just go to waste. The solution to my end of week cooking dilemma is a ...
Eggs poached in fiery tomato sauce (eggs in purgatory)
Weekends are all about recuperating and de-stressing from the hectic week. The best way I know how to do that is by sleeping in, lounging, and brunching. I absolutely adore weekend brunching; since you’re combining breakfast and lunch, you have the perfect excuse to not only eat more food, but also more varieties of foods. I make it a point to brunch out at least every other weekend. First, I take my time scouting places for the best brunch spot, I then check their menu online and call to ...
Indo Chinese sweet corn soup with chili vinegar
My husband and I are opposites in many ways, especially when it comes to our food preferences. I adore vegetables while he absolutely despises them, he loves things on the sweeter side and I’m more of a savory gal, you get the drift.The one thing we both mutually love though is soup, specifically sweet corn soup. We eat soup throughout the year: during breezy spring time, sultry summer heat, crisp fall, and especially chilly winter. Just call us the soup connoisseurs, we adore it. It is ...
One pan meatballs with cashew cream sauce
One pan meals are my jam, especially on weeknights. Last thing I want to do after a long day is to clean up a million dishes, I am pretty sure you don’t either. This one pan meatball dish with a cashew cream sauce is a cross between Swedish meatballs and Indian dish called kofta curry. I came up with this dish one night when I was craving something comforting like koftas, but not in a mood to really cook Indian food. I was pleasantly surprised how good this one pan meatballs dish turned out and ...
