Chicken Taco

Mexican Street Style Chicken Tacos

I’m so happy I got this post up just in time for Cinco De Mayo! If you follow me on social media, you know my love for Tacos runs DEEP! So much so that I make Mexican Style Street Tacos once a week for my family, no matter what! Eating these tacos always take me back to vacations in Mexico, walking the streets and finding stall after stall selling these amazing tacos! No advertising needed, I mean the smells just waft you towards them! I serve mine with Homemade Mexican Rice and Beans (authentic and super easy recipe coming soon). Go crazy and add any toppings you like, but onion, cilantro, and lime are authentic. You won’t find lettuce and cheese in your tacos when in Mexico! Enjoy Guys!

Indian Spiced Hashbrowns

Indian Spiced Hashbrowns

Indian Spiced Hashbrowns are a Sunday MUST in my house! I mean come on, who doesn’t love Hashbrowns?  It pleases even the pickiest eaters, including young children!  I came up with the idea, to add Indian spices to the mix after regular hashbrowns started to become a bit boring. I love how the spices give the hashbrowns a bit of warmth and spice. I make a huge batch of these to last at least two to three days. I love them so much that I could eat them on their own without any eggs or accompaniments. Hope you guys enjoy them as much as my family and I do!

Sweet and Spicy Gujarati Kadhi

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 family, we enjoy eating kadhi with a steaming helping of Basmati Rice or Khichdi. You can drink it as soup, eat it with roti or serve it over rice or khichdi, completely your choice!

Greek Lemon Chicken Kabob with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Greek Lemon Chicken Kabob with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

I’ve been yearning to share this recipe for a while now and I am just now getting to it! Better late than never right? These Greek Kabobs are quick, easy to make and super healthy! Seriously! What more could you ask for in a dish right? Kabobs of different variations are on rotation every two weeks or so in my household. If you don’t have lemons on hand, use limes! I have used both and the dish turns out great either way! You could place the skewers over a salad or in a pita pocket for a quick lunch or light dinner. I placed them on a bed of couscous this time but they also taste great with Naan or Lavash, the options are truly endless! The yogurt sauce is one I make and bottle up for my friends and family because they cannot get enough, we enjoy spice so I blend jalapeno into it as well! Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!
