Kale and Shallot Quiche
This is one of those recipes that I whipped up on one of my lazy cooking days. I was late getting dinner ready and needed to make something with minimal effort, and this kale and shallot quiche was the delicious result. An easy and lazy recipe because I was so lazy that I didn’t even bother to use my hand blender to whip the eggs and cream together. I just cooked the kale with shallots and garlic and then let it to cool for a few minutes. Added in eggs, a splash of cream and shredded cheese. Then I mixed everything together with a fork and poured it into a readymade tart shell and baked. Honestly, this is the easiest and laziest quiche I have ever made and surprisingly given my lack of usual fanfare it turned out delicious! Continue reading Kale and Shallot Quiche
Mediterranean Roasted Veggie Tart
Good Monday to you all. I hope you had a relaxing weekend and are ready for the week ahead. Today I would like to share a recipe for a delicious tart with loads of vegetables and full of flavor. My friend Rose brought this gorgeous vegetable tart to our Spring Tea Brunch last year that looked right out of a magazine! This tart looked so good that I’ve been wanting to make it for some time, but when Rose mentioned that it was a time consuming recipe, I stayed away from trying. But with more time on my hands now I ventured to give this recipe a try and you know what? Once you get the hang of making it once or twice, it’s actually easier than the recipe looks.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cherry Cookies
This is an awesome recipe with awesome results! Its sweet, soft, crunchy and delicious, all in an oatmeal chocolate chunk cherry cookie. With all our Shelter in Place right now I am watching way more TV than I usually do and Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa is one of those shows I’ve been watching a lot lately to get inspiration for delicious feel-good recipes. I may have mentioned before that though her recipes are predominantly meat-based, I try to improvise and substitute her meat ingredients with vegetarian substitutes. However when it comes to Ina’s desserts I just follow her recipes as is, just as I did with this one. These oatmeal cookies are the best I’ve ever made! Soft, with crispy edges, chocolatey with tangy fruit flavor these cookies are deliciously good! Continue reading Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cherry Cookies
Nasturtium Blossom Hummingbird Cake
Here is a delicious cheer me up sweet and gorgeous cake to celebrate spring and all things beautiful. Nasturtium blossom hummingbird cake is a recipe I posted a long while ago that I made again recently. Where do I start to tell the tale of this cake – the cake or about the blooms? Let me start with the cake. I first had this delicious piece of cake at our local Peets coffee shop called hummingbird cake that was moist and light, chock full of nuts, with a soft cream cheese frosting. I assumed it was called hummingbird cake because of all the nuts in the cake because it reminded me of a birdseed mixture, but as it turns out what I found out is that the reason it is called a hummingbird cake is because it tastes so good that it makes people hum 🎶🎵🎼🎼🎶🎶🎵. We sure can use some humming right now 😚🎵🎼🎼🎶. I figured with all my nasturtiums blooming right now I might as well add these hummingbird loving edible flowers on the cake. Hummingbirds really love nasturtium blossoms! Continue reading Nasturtium Blossom Hummingbird Cake
Vegetable Lasagna
Lasagna is one of those classic decadent pasta dishes that everyone loves, interestingly however it never appealed to me much as the veggie version always seemed overly stuffed with cheese that even when it was called a veggie lasagna there was very little vegetables in it. I’ve tried over the years many veggie lasagnas and have come to the conclusion that restaurants don’t do vegetarian lasagna very good. Their meat based lasagnas are always a hit (or so I hear), but veggie lasagnas? Not so. Consequently I never bothered making lasagna at home, having not had anything worthwhile at restaurants, I really didn’t have any incentive to try and replicate a cool veggie lasagna recipe. That is until I saw this post from my friend Padmini on her Instagram feed plates.by.patty. Continue reading Vegetable Lasagna
Yogurt Cake with Toasted Almonds
All this Stay at Home mandate is making me stir crazy that I am definitely baking more than I should, and normally do. You see my allergies are so aggravated lately that when I go for a walk outside I have come home with the worst allergy attack with itchy watery eyes, scratchy throat, cough, and sinus headache from all the pollen out there, so I’ve been staying in the last week and just venturing into the garden instead. Not being able go out and do much else, leaves me with plenty of time on my hands that even a simple recipe on the back of a sugar package seems enticing to bake!

Cherry Blossom Pound Cake
It’s cherry blossom season, and I know it’s hard to get out there and enjoy nature’s annual show right now, but in leu of an actual visit how about celebrating it with a delicious cake? With cherries no less!! I found this recipe called cherry almond pound cake from blogger Jenny Steffens on Instagram. and she described this pound cake as an ode to a cupcake she had in Washington DC during their cherry blossom festival last year where at Sprinkles in Georgetown she had a cherry cupcake. She says she liked the cup cake so much that immediately after returning home she made a similar cake with cherries and almond favoring. Though Jenny calls her cake cherry almond pound cake, I renamed it Cherry Blossom Pound Cake. Well it does have cherries. And it is cherry blossom season, so why not?
