Easy Chicken Recipes: Tangy Tamarind Chicken
This easy tamarind chicken recipe uses chutney to create a tangy flavor. If tamarind chutney isn’t available in your area, tamarind concentrate can be used but it will need to be diluted. Also you’ll want to add about a teaspoon of sugar or honey. This recipe is best if the chicken is allowed to marinade […]

Curtido: Vinegar Coleslaw Recipe for Pupusas
The New Year’s Eve meal was a success with one exception. The texture for the pupusas, a thick cornmeal disk with bean filling was much trickier than expected. Mine ended up way too thick and doughy. This was probably the penalty for adding too much water. The accompanying vinegar coleslaw, known as curtido turned out […]
Happy New Year! (Updated with Hoppin John Link)
Happy New Year! Here’s to wishing that 2014 is your personal best. I started following the traditional Southern meal of Hoppin’ John last year. Since writing about it last year, I learned it’s more common to Tennessee and the Carolinas then elsewhere. It’s a delicious one pot meal featuring black-eyed peas, rice, the holy trinity […]

Gluten Free Testing: Dad Edition
Several months back, my father starting having regular stomach issues. He’d tried antibiotics and other medicines which made it worse. His long-time doctor suggested temporarily cutting gluten to see if it was the trigger. Understandably, Dad wasn’t too keen to impose dietary restrictions on himself. The main grain they eat is rice which is already […]
Boondi Raita Recipe
The most common form of raita uses yogurt, cucumber, spices and sometimes tomato as featured here. This version goes for a more complex, melt-in-your-mouth flavor by incorporating chickpea flour balls known as boondi. Raita goes particularly well with biryani and Indian breads like parathas. (Be on the lookout for a biryani recipe later in the […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
This amazingly easy recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies comes from Tricia’s Things. It involves only a handful of ingredients that you already have (I’m just assuming. Please don’t think that I rifled through your pantry). I only made three changes – substituting flax egg, reducing the amount of sugar and baking for 15 minutes […]
