This is another favorite pasta primavera recipe of mine; it’s from Giada de Laurentiis. This the most simple pasta primavera recipe I’ve come across with. What could be easier than boiling some bow pasta while roasting the veggies, when both are done, just combine and season to taste. It tastes good too.. very, very good! The natural sugars from [...]

I learned how to make this dish from YouTube, it’s an Indian vegetarian dish. It’s super HOT, my husband and I like it so much, especially with roti ( Indian flatbread) or tortilla to go with it, I like to toast the roti/tortilla and dip it in this eggplant dish..so good! This is also a great side dish for grilled/barbecued [...]

Easy Baked (Everyday)Cheesecake

Olive — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 09:39:16 +0000

This cheesecake is very simple, perfect for everyday dessert. Most cheesecake recipes call for 2 -5 (8oz) boxes of creamcheese, that’s just too much (expensive too ) and reason enough for me to only make cheesecakes on special ocassions but I can’t always wait for a birthday or anniversary to come so I thought why not make a practical [...]

Years back when I was a kid, there was no cable television yet; there were only about 5 channels available then and there was this Chinese cooking show that I used to watch pretty regularly because it comes before the cartoons. It was in all in Chinese so I didn’t understand a thing but I [...]

This is a Thai dish..it’s hot and spicy with a little tang courtesy of the tamarind paste- I have a jar of it that I seldom use and it comes in handy for this fish recipe. Whole fish can be used for this dish, I would have used it but my family wants fillet of fish [...]

This is a very delicious treat for breakfast or brunch, so easy to make if you already have granola and mixed fresh fruits salad on hand. It may look like a dessert, taste like it, but it’s very healthy and very heavy in the tummy-in a good way- because it’s loaded with fibers; in fact [...]
