Maxican rice ball

This Mexican rice comes together so easily and quickly in a single pot, which makes for an easy clean-up. You can also throw in your favorite veggies but I kept it simple with onion, corn kernels, peas and carrots. From there, the rice is simmered in tomato sauce and chicken broth, along with some cumin and chili powder for that extra kick of flavor.

You can serve as is or alongside some tacos or enchiladas. We loved it as a main dish, digging our way in with tortilla chips. Either way, we loved the change from our usual Asian-style fried rice and have made this at least 3 times this week!

A Greek salad just got so much better in my book.


The secret? Super juicy, perfectly charred chicken thighs seasoned just perfectly with a dry spice rub of oregano, basil, thyme, paprika and garlic powder.

Nope, no hours of marinating here. Simply season your chicken and throw them right onto the grill.



While you do that, you can also throw on some pita bread for serving – might as well while you have the grill all fired up!

Apple broccoli salad recipe šŸ˜‹

I am a little bit in love with broccoli salad. Broccoli plain has got to be the worst thing in the world, but once you put it with the sauce and all the flavor, it suddenly becomes the best food in the world.

I am not a huge fan of the creamy mayo sauce, so I found another version of this recipe that is much healthier and has less fat.

If you are looking a quick, simple and healthy side dish, this is one I highly recommend. It is so simple to throw together and tastes absolutely amazing.


There are so many recipes out there for broccoli salads, but they are loaded with mayo and sugar.

I decided to lighten up the recipe so that I could enjoy the delicious flavors without all the guilt – and I did it without using mayo!

If you try this Healthy Broccoli Salad, let me know! I would love to hear in the comments how you made or if you have any ideas on what you would add to it.

HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHY BROCCOLI SALAD

Every broccoli salad starts with broccoli. I usually purchase pre-cut broccoli florets from the produce section just to save time, but you could also chop your own broccoli.

You can cut the broccoli into as big or as small of pieces are you prefer.

Mix the broccoli, apples, onion, and craisins in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine the dressing ingredients. Mix the dressing with the broccoli mixture and place it in the fridge. I like it to chill for about 2 hours before I serve it so that the flavors can really meld together.

This dish is so delicious and flavorful!

DO I NEED TO BLANCH THE BROCCOLI FOR BROCCOLI SALAD?

Some broccoli salads will have you blanch the broccoli before making the salad (which means to cook it for a short time in boiling water and then cool it down in an ice bath), but for this recipe it’s not needed.

I feel that raw, fresh broccoli is the best in this dish and with all the other ingredients that are added to compliment the broccoli, blanching is not a necessary step. Toss that broccoli in a bowl and move on to the next step!

WHAT DRESSING GOES ON BROCCOLI SALAD?

Many times, the dressing that is on broccoli salad is mayo and sugar.

For this recipe, I am using ingredients that are big on flavor, but lighter on calories and fat.

To make this dressing, you will use:

apple cider vinegar

Dijon mustard

a little bit of canola oil

a little bit of sugar

salt and pepper to taste




Every recipe has a beautiful mouth-watering photo and has been picky-eater approved. The directions are simple, easy to follow, and do not require any strange ingredients.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

The best JamaicanĀ Jerk ChickenĀ including oven and grilling instructions! It’s incredibly flavorful thanks to hours of marinating in a vibrant and deliciously seasoned marinade. And who can resist that light char and crave-able spicy kick? A must try recipe!

Pair it with coconut rice and fresh pineapple to create a tasty and simple Caribbean meal!



Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

This is one of the best marinade recipes you’ll ever try! It’s brimming with fresh flavor and it may seem like a strange combination of ingredients but together they create incredible, well balanced flavor. And it all compliments chicken perfectly.



Ā 

Ā 

It’s a great recipe to make for a summer cookout yet it’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner. Just prep the marinade the night before or morning of, add the chicken and let it soak while you’re at work, then when you get home pop it in the oven or throw it on the grill (simmer the rice while the chicken is cooking) and you’ve got a dinner that’s sure to satisfy!



Chicken and Marinade Ingredients

Chicken pieces (bone-in skin-on) – I recommend using 5 thighs and 5 legs

Green onions – 1/2 small red onion could be substituted.

Garlic – only use fresh garlic.

Ginger – this adds so much flavor, only use fresh.

Habanero peppers – scotch bonnet peppers will work too if you can find them. The amount used can be adjusted to taste, these are spicy!

Lime juice – in a pinch lemon juice will work too. Don’t use bottled.

Soy sauce – if you have low sodium on hand that will work, just add a little salt to the marinade.

Brown sugar – honey could be substituted.

Thyme leaves – preferably use fresh, in a pinch 1 tsp dried will work.

Allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg – these may seem strange with chicken but they’re key ingredients, don’t omit them!

Black pepper – it’s a hassle to grind it but it does make a difference.



How to Make Jerk Chicken

Place chicken pieces in a gallon size resealable bag.

Make marinade:Ā add green onions, garlic, ginger, habaneros, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, thyme, and spices to a food processor and plus to chop (it should be slightly coarse not pureed).



Pour marinade over chicken:Ā pour mixture over chicken in bag, seal bag while pressing out excess air then rub marinade over chicken.

Allow marinating time:Ā rest in refrigerator 3 – 24 hours.


How to Bake Jerk Chicken – Oven Method

Heat oven and prepare baking sheet:Ā preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Arrange marinated chicken on sheet:Ā remove chicken from marinade and arrange pieces on baking sheet leaving space between them.

Bake to 165 degrees in center:Ā bake in preheated oven until cooked through, about 45 – 50 minutes, while broiling during the last few minutes for better browning.



How to Grill Jerk Chicken

Heat grill, clean and oil grates:Ā preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees.) Clean grill grates and rub lightly with oil using tongs and an oiled paper towel.

Cook through to 165 degrees:Ā grill until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally (and reducing burning temperature slightly if it’s browning too quickly) about 30 minutes.

Can I Use Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs?

Yes. I’ve also made this with boneless skinless chicken breasts as well if grilling. If doing so don’t marinate longer than 6 hours.

Grill over medium high heat (425 – 450) about 4 – 5 minutes per side keep a close eye on it because if it goes past 165 degrees in center it will start to dry out. Baking isn’t recommend for breasts as you won’t get any browning.

Boneless skinless thighs should work fine here too – for grilling or oven roasting. If doing so marinate up to 12 hours. Grill over medium-high heat (425 – 450) about 5 – 7 minutes per side. If baking cook in preheated 400 degree oven on an oiled baking sheet until cooked through about 30 – 35 minutes, broil during last few minute to help brown as needed.



Can I Make the Marinade in Advance?

Yes, the marinade can be made up to 4 days in advance. Store in refrigerator.

Tips for the Best Jerk Chicken

Only use fresh ingredients for best flavor (no dried powders). You’ll notice most everything is fresh in the recipe that’s what makes this chicken so good!

Allow enough time to marinate so those flavors can really soak into the chicken, at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours.

Skip the chicken breasts and go for thighs for the most flavorful and tender end result.

Want to maximize the flavor? Rub some of the marinade underneath the chicken skin (just be careful not to tear it off).

If grilling, remember every grill cooks a little differently so just keep an eye on it. You want some char but not overly charred chicken so reduce the temperature slightly as needed.

What’s In Waldorf Salad

The Waldorf salad is said to have originated over 100 years ago at the Waldorf hotel in New York City. Starting out as a simple salad of apples, celery, and mayonnaise—ingredients that are in season all year long—over the years its flavor was tweaked with the addition of grapes and nuts added to the mix.

My grandma’s recipe pretty much follows course with these ingredients and the addition of whipped cream to add extra fluff:

Tart apples

Celery

Walnuts or pecans

Grapes

Lemon juice

Sugar

Salt

Mayonnaise

Whipped cream (her secret ingredient!)



How to Make the Classic Waldorf Salad

This simple salad takes doesn’t require any cooking, just a little chopping, and only takes minutes to mix together.

Use the crispest varieties of apples.Ā Grandma said to use tart green Granny Smith apples, but for a little variety in color, I used one green apple and one crunchy Fuji apples. Red delicious, honey crisp and gala are also good options.

Chop the ingredients the same size.Ā Chopping the apples, celery, and grapes about the same size ensures you’ll get crunchy and sweet tastes in each and every bite.


Sprinkle the cut fruit with the lemon juice and sugar.Ā Cut apples can quickly e discolor. Tossing with the lemon juice retards oxidation while sprinkling the fruit directly with sugar enhances it’s sweetness.

Mix the wet ingredients before adding to the dry.Ā Whisk the mayonnaise and whipped cream together before adding to the fruit. This ensures a homogenous, creamy dressing.Ā 

Toast the nuts for deeper flavor.Ā Toasting the nuts before adding to the salad intensifies their nutty flavor by releasing their natural oils, eliminating their raw taste.


Add Greek Yogurt to Waldorf Salad’s Dressing

The dressing for Waldorf salad always starts with mayonnaise. In fact, you could get away with using only mayo, but because this salad deserves a topping that’s more than just one note of flavor, I add my grandma’s secret ingredient.

Grandma’s secret ingredient for this dressing isssssss…whipped cream.

Now, you could go ahead and sub the whipped cream with plain Greek yogurt or even sour cream, and I have. But, I encourage you to try both ingredient combos and decide for yourself which you prefer.

If you prefer, use 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of the suggested 1/2 cup whipped cream.

Here is Hakka noodles recipe

This hakka noodles taste delicious and will have you craving for more. I am sharing a vegan recipe loaded with veggies and button mushrooms. Fairly easy to make hakka noodles is a popular Indo-Chinese dish of stir fried noodles. You will find it being made and served in many restaurants and street-side Chinese food joints in India. Hakka noodles is not only popular with kids, but also with grownups.

Expert Tips

Recipe Card

Ingredients You Need

Hakka Noodles ā€“ Use any Indian brand of Hakka Noodles. I have used Ching’s Hakka Noodles. Note that these noodles is made with all-purpose flour so if you prefer a healthier version, then use whole wheat noodles or soba noodles (buckwheat noodles)

Veggies: You can add veggies of your choice. Mushroom give a meaty texture and umami flavor. If you do not like mushrooms you can skip them. You can choose from the following list of veggies:

cabbage (green or red)

carrots

french beans (green beans)

zucchini

broccoli

button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms

capsicum (bell pepper)

spring onions (scallions) or regular onions

Soy sauce: Try to use naturally fermented soy sauce as it gives a lovely fermented taste and flavor to the noodles. You can even use bragg liquid aminos or tamari instead.

Toasted sesame oil ā€“ The noodles get a lovely hint of smokiness from toasted sesame oil. But do not worry if you do not have toasted sesame oil. Just use any other neutral tasting oil like sunflower oil or safflower oil.

Herbs and spices: Garlic, dry red chillies, celery or coriander leaves (cilantro) are the herbs and spices added. Celery is not available everywhere in India. So if you do not have celery, then just skip it. Use green chillies instead of dry red chillies.

Rice vinegar: Instead of rice vinegar you can add white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. You can even use rice wine or mirin. Both rice vinegar and rice wine give a distinct flavor and aroma to the dish.

Note on Celery

Many Indian readers ask me what is celery and where to get it. Celery is a herb that is easily available in most super stores and super markets in the Indian metros.

You can also grow celery in a pot. Either buy the plant from a nursery or plant the seeds. The best way is to chop the celery from its base and plant the base in the soil. Here is a shrub of celery from my balcony herb garden.

Step-by-Step Guide

How to make Hakka Noodles

Prepare Veggies and Cook Noodles

1. First finely chop all the veggies and keep aside. You can even shred or grate the veggies using a food processor. I have used carrots, french beans, spring onions, button mushrooms, capsicum and cabbage (in the video).

2. Boil 4.5 cups water in a pot or pan with ½ teaspoon salt and a few drops of oil.

3. Add the hakka noodles (200 grams).

4. Cook the hakka noodles according to the package instructions. The noodles have to be cooked till al dente or just about cooked.

5. Drain cooked noodles in a colander. Then rinse noodles with fresh water very well. This stops the cooking process and removes the starch.

6. Add 1.5 teaspoon toasted sesame oil.

7. Toss noodles well, so that the oil gets coated evenly on them. This gets rid of stickiness from them.

Stir Fry Spices, Vegetables

8. Heat 2 tablespoons sunflower oil (or any neutral tasting oil) in a frying pan or wok. On a medium-low to medium heat, first sautƩ 2 to 3 dry red chilies (broken and seeds removed) and 1.5 teaspoon finely chopped garlic for about a minute.

9. Increase the heat a bit and then add the 3 to 4 small spring onions (finely chopped), 8 to 10 french beans (finely chopped). Stir fry for about 3 minutes.

Pro Tip: For non-stick frying pans, keep the heat to medium and for cast iron or carbon steel pans or wok, use medium-high to high heat.

10. Add the 4 to 5 button mushrooms (finely chopped), 1 small to medium carrot (finely chopped) and 1 teaspoon finely chopped celery and continue stir-frying.

You can also add ½ cup finely chopped cabbage and 1 small to medium capsicum at this step. For the hakka noodles video in the post, cabbage is added.

11. Stir fry for about 5 to 6 minutes till the edges of the veggies start to slightly brown. I like the veggies to be cooked more, than what is the norm usually for this recipe. You can cut down on the stir frying time, if you prefer half cooked or more crunchy veggies.
