30- Minute Restaurant Style Chicken Lo Mein is one of my favorite recipes to make! Growing up I would always visit my aunt in Queens, New York and one of my fondest memories is all of my family gatherings around and gorging on the best Chinese food from the local restaurant! If you’re from the area you know exactly what I’m talking about! one of my favorite dishes was their Chicken Lo Mein, so freaking delicious. I have had Lo Mein all over the world but absolutely nothing beats the ones from most of the Chinese restaurants in Queens. I knew I had to get in the kitchen to recreate…

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Hey guys! Let’s talk about Olive Oil today. I personally use Olive Oil for most of the cooking in my home and I know that all olive oil isn’t created equal. When I first started using Authentic 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Europe I immediately noticed a difference, it tasted SOO much better than what I usually grab for my supermarket. Not a little, but a lot. I really have been missing out! Recently, I made my famous Simple Meat Sauce over Spaghetti with it and have decided to…

Sweet and Spicy Gujarati Kadhi
Kadhi can be compared to a creamy, tangy, and spicy soup if you will. I have always looked at kadhi as comfort food. In India Kadhi comes in many variations, Punjabi Kadhi has Pakora(dumplings) in it and Sindhi Kadhi is sort of similar to Sambhar or Dal. I remember the first time I had Punjabi Kadhi, I found it quite weird that there was “bhaajiya”(pakora) in my Kadhi. I have since fallen in love with my husband’s Punjabi Kadhi, although the recipe below will always be my first choice compared to any other kadhi EVER! This particular recipe is for Gujarati Kadhi, just like my mama makes! In my…
