Easy Eggplant Parmesan Recipe Most nights we have some kind of protein at the Beisers’. But sometimes crave for some sumptuous, hearty vegetarian food.

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to cook a big holiday meal with kids running underfoot, in terms of the logistics and also trying to make food that the littles will enjoy. Plus, there is a lot about holiday food that can be challenging for kids, including that many of our traditional dishes are ones that they haven’t seen very many times in their lives. I try to encourage families not to stress too much about what the kids eat or don’t eat on holidays like Thanksgiving—because so many of the foods are still unfamiliar to our littles and pressure can make the meal so much harder for everyone to enjoy....
Loaded with fresh veggies and herbs, this Mediterranean inspired fish recipe may be the perfect light summertime meal. It’s a great make ahead dish, and can easily be customized.

We started with our Shrimp Foil Packs. Then we were so impressed with Greek Kleftico that we presented it as our 1000th post....

Of course I had to figure out how to make it at home!...
Growing up, tamarind chutney was my favorite of the chutneys. I loved the sweet and tart flavor combo and found it the perfect tangy complement to spicy samosas and other chaats. And it would always find its way onto my plate alongside subzis and dals. We would usually buy tamarind chutney, and those pre-made jars of chutney are what I was raised on. There are two popular varieties of tamarind chutney....

After a month of pasta for dinner*, I find myself craving some serious greens. Vegetables become front and center of my meals, and I find myself effortlessly getting the recommended 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables a day. *I’m exaggerating a little of course, but hey, it was January.
