WHAT IS VEGETABLE CURRY? Curry comes in many varieties based on the region that you're located in. It's crucial to remember that...

However, I made the recipe initially using egg noodles. There are other...

LOADED POTATO SOUP

Delicious baked potatoes from Loaded are delicious.

TOMATO BASIL CHICKEN

This summer, I prepared the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette and have wanted to make it into a saucepan for chicken. Then I decided to do it, and the results were as straightforward and delicious as expected! The garlicky marinade and the sweet tomato pan sauce make this easy chicken extra tasty! Easy, quick and delicious and ideal for busy evenings CAN I USE FRESH BASIL? Sure! I've used dried as it's more affordable; however, when you can get the option of fresh basil, it will undoubtedly put this dish to the next level. I'd recommend using around one tablespoon chopped up in the marinade and then adding another...

SCALLION HERB CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Three items I purchase nearly every week include fresh parsley, cilantro, and green onions. They're usually less than $1 each, but they provide tons of flavor and the color of my meals, which is why they're worth the purchase even if I don't need them all. I still enjoy ideas for recipes to use the leftovers, such as the Scallion Herb Cream Cheese Spread, since there's less food waste, and it's the best. Better. This herb-infused, tangy cream cheese takes just a few minutes to make, yet it's delicious; it could even encourage you to eat more significant amounts of vegetables during your...

LOADED GUACAMOLE

I'm somewhat obsessed with avocados which is why when I visited an obscure Latin American Restaurant last year, La Macarena Pupuseria, and the waiter said they served the most amazing Guacamole I've ever had, I took the bait with a hook, line, and a sinker. I wanted to know the secret behind the guac that was supposedly amazing. Well, let me say it was not just the most delicious Guacamole I've ever tasted but also one of the most distinctive. My only concern is how did it take an entire year before I attempted to make what ended up being the best-loaded Guacamole...

SPINACH CHICKPEA AND QUINOA SALAD

This salad is straightforward, yet I consumed it daily this past week and will have it all this week, and I believe this alone is enough to warrant sharing. The best part about the Spinach Chickpea and Quinoa Salad is that it lasts exceptionally easily in the refrigerator and is adaptable. This salad is great to have on hand to create different meals throughout your week or take an easy snack in the event of a short time. HOW LONG DOES THIS QUINOA SALAD KEEP? This salad will last well in the fridge for approximately four days, give or take, depending on...

RATATOUILLE FRITTATA

My brain is about two months ahead of me, and I'm excited to enter summer. I will make some recipes for summer vegetables right now instead of waiting. I can't stand waiting long enough. I need summer freshness. It's good that we live in a time when we can enjoy fresh produce throughout the year. This Ratatouille Frittata might be less expensive and perhaps more flavorful in August or July when these veggies are in season; it's an absolute lifesaver towards the end of winter when spring is attempting to come through and you're exhausted. RATATOUILLE + FRITTATA = LOVE I am a sucker...

ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES

I cooked up a simple Roasted Summer vegetables for an appetizer this week and debated whether I should make them their recipe. The roasting of vegetables is so simple that they're hardly an actual recipe, but it's more of a process. However, I needed to keep in mind that each when I share one of these simple "recipes," there are at most a handful of people who get the "Aha!" moment, which makes it worthwhile. You've probably made this at least a million times if you're a seasoned cook. If you're still struggling to get your feet immersed when you cook, you should...
