Recipe: Pull Apart Garlic Bread

January 30, 2020January 28, 2020Leave a comment

I guess the common name for making pull apart bread like this is “monkey bread” but out of all the names I really like “bubble bread” personally. This is a pretty standard recipe for garlic rolls / garlic knots but made into small pieces that make it really fun for a party and to share. This looks like it would take a lot of work really it’s probably only five extra minutes of work to dunk the balls in garlic-butter. If you don’t have a bundt pan then simply place a ramekin in the center of a round tin like I have.

Recipe: White Bean Soup

December 26, 2019April 23, 2024Leave a comment

You can make this soup extra creamy either by adding more potato chunks and/or by blending as much or as little of the soup as you like. The soup itself has a really simple taste and it pretty satisfying stick to ribs making it a perfect soup for any chilly day. As a bonus it’s made of ingredients that are cheap most of the year and are generally in my pantry so it’s perfect for a last minute meal.

Recipe: Cheese Naan

This is a very quick naan that doesn’t need yeast and takes less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish. It doesn’t quite give you the same exact pillow-y texture that a yeasted dough would but with the layer of cheese (or anything else you decide to put inside) it makes a good last minute attention if you’ve forgotten to prep dough.

This soup is really light but filling. It’s basically a tomato soup with noodles but because you toast the noodles beforehand they have this perfect texture with just a bit of bite on the outside. It’s perfect with a nice thick bread or roll. I like texture in my soup so I add chopped vegetables to the base but if you want less work you can simply make this with canned tomatoes and a good instant stock base.

Sometimes you just want something in nugget form but you also want vegetables and this is basically the perfect fusion of those two ideas. These are pretty easy to make if you use a food processor to chop up the vegetables and if you bake them in the oven they’re really low effort but they do taste much better when pan fried. Depends on if you’re willing to spend a little more effort for better tasting food.

Perfect for a weeknight meal, made easily with things you probably have laying around the house and all you have to do is chop an onion this curry is filling and rich and is vegan if you swap the traditional cream for coconut milk instead. Really delicious with naan.

My husband loves mushroom dishes lately and he also loves stroganoff (which I hate) so I figured it was worth it to give this a try and what do you know? He loved it. I find it kind of weird but it comes together easy enough with things I usually have on hand that it might be a great new go-to recipe for odd dinners.

This is not a difficult recipe but it is time consuming. The weird part is before I finished making this I was sure I’d never make this again but after eating it, it might just be worth the hassle. I will probably try other biryani configurations in the future but this dish will make you a lot of dishes but it will also impress you with its depth of flavor.

These are actually a lot easier to make then you’d think and while it’s a bit like pancakes (your first roll while likely not look great) each roll will keep improving. I’ve never particularly talented with my hands and these come out impressive anyway. The nice thing is that they have no fish or cooked parts except the rice so they can make ahead of time and are great for picnics and potlucks.

I’m a big fan of spicy soups and this one is great with a really hearty spicy base and a lot of crunchy tofu and vegetables and noodles to make it extra delicious. You can add anything you like in including meat or seafood but I was in a crispy tofu mood when I was making it.

(You can make this ahead of time by keeping the pan fried tofu separate from the soup until serving so it doesn’t get soggy)
