Chicken & Potatoes In Creamy Lemon Sauce
It’s been a while since I posted a roast chicken recipe. Those are my favorite. So little work, such delicious food.

Blackened Spiced Roasted Chicken & Our Indo-American Thanksgiving

Lemon, Yogurt & Berry Waffles
Thanksgiving break begins today. Which means I will have a nonstop chatter-box at home 24×7 for nine days, which he likes to remind me every now and then. Which also means that the early morning mad dash is put on hold. For a week, at least. Which also means that I can feed him a…

Cranberry-Lime Cake
Every year I buy cranberries exactly once. I honestly do not know what to do with these tart berries other than make a sauce or relish at Thanksgiving. No one likes cranberries much at our house and this year’s seasonal buy remained untouched for a few days. And meanwhile, I was busy with Christmas preps….
