It is no surprise that mole sauce is one such dish that has gained a lot of recognition in America. That’s not even the best part. What fascinated us the most was the fact that this sauce is the national dish of Mexico. It is hugely important to Mexican cuisine. The pronunciation of the word is ‘MOH-lay’, instead of ‘mole’. The term “mole” is mostly used in the U.S for describing a certain sauce that has been spiced with rich, and earthy flavors....

When the Japanese Yakitori restaurant Kokko opened near our home a few years ago, my husband requested to go on nearly every special occasion. One of our family’s favorite items on the menu is their Nagoya-style chicken wings. These are sooooo good! One order is simply not enough. Every time we order these chicken wings, our family would divide the pieces equally so our children wouldn’t fight over who had more pieces....

French Toast Muffins Recipe These French Toast Muffins were rated “insane” by my food critic, husband, Patrick.

Its a recipe that is so crazy good that it blows your mind. You don’t want to stop eating after 2 muffins, 3 muffins, 4 muffins… This French Bread Muffin recipe is also insanely easy to make....

The Indian Dal Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day and should not be skipped. A healthy breakfast helps start the day off in the right way!

Omapodi is easily found in Indian grocery stores, but homemade versions offer a fresher, preservative-free, and more flavorful experience. My mother-in-law’s South Indian-style Omapodi recipe is tried and true passed down through years of tradition. Once you try it at home, store-bought varieties like Haldiram’s may lose their appeal!

If stored correctly, Omapodi keeps fresh for weeks, making it an ideal snack to prepare ahead of time for celebrations or tea-time treats....

If my husband has one great food love it’s Chocolate Chip Cookies. He likes to say that he used to not eat dessert before we were married. While that may be true to some extent his love of cookies far predates his love for me. As a result I have baked endless batches of Chocolate Chip Cookies including my absolute favourites right here. However, there is one thing that always gets to me and that is the sheer amount a standard recipe makes!...

The recipe we want to share with you today comes from Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc at Home cookbook. We adapted a little bit so you can still consider it’s his soup rather than mine.

The key is to make sure you use fresh clams instead of frozen or canned clams....
