Kheema(Indian Spiced Ground/Mince Meat)
Kheema has to be one of those dishes that brings me right back to family parties growing up. The sheer taste of the dish reminds me of family and leaving the table with full bellies. I have been making Kheema for about 20 years now and I rarely divert away from my fool-proof recipe. The recipe that I use has been passed down to me from my Masi(aunt) and I will forever be grateful! Now that I have my own family, I make sure that they fondly remember this recipe for years to come. What is Kheema/Keema you may ask? It is essentially minced meat, the dish I am making…

Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets
These Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or even lunch. I often whip these up ahead of time and assemble them at the last minute when I’m in a hurry. The Tzatziki will stay fresh in the fridge (in an airtight sealed container) for upwards of one week although in my house it’s usually gone in a few days. Grill a batch of the tandoori chicken a few days ahead, and it can re-purposed for other dishes as well as this one.

Lip Smackin’ Chicken Francese
Chicken Francese is one dish that I always order at an Italian restaurant if it’s on the menu. I have tried for years to recreate the recipe at home but until now I just could not replicate that tantalizing buttery lemony taste. After some tweaking here and there I believe we have a winner! I had my sister in law (who by the way is Italian) try it and she approved as well!
