simple, clean recipes with bold flavors
It's cornbread season! It's a favorite side at holiday tables and for good reason. I love the texture and flavor of cornbread, but why settle for simple cornbread? Try this Blueberry cornbread with maple butter as your side dish and it'll definitely become a family favorite...
I wanted a slighter lighter take on a traditional Tres Leches with a flavor variation and I decided on mangoes because it's summer, and summer to me means delicious Pakistani mangoes! This Mango Tres Leches is light yet full of flavor. My simple trick makes this recipe very approachable, so you'll be making this all the time! In fact, this is a great recipe to try this Eid. I know i'm making it!
I love lassi. Meethi Lassi(sweet lassi) is my favorite thing to order when I visit Lahore, but Mango lassi is something I order everywhere, because let's face it, it's the best! Yogurt and sweet mangoes blended into a thick milkshake consistency, it just screams summer to me. The tart yogurt balances the sweet mango so well. So obviously I was going to turn it into a dessert...
There's a lot to be said about a cheesecake. For one, there's nothing else like it. It's so rich in flavor, with the cream cheese slow cooked in the oven. It's lightly sweetened, as in my opinion, the best desserts are. The crust is just hearty enough to hold it together, but it doesn't over power the flavor one little bit. But most importantly, it's down right delicious! I love a classic cheesecake. And this one is good enough to be eaten all on its own. No berries or coolis in sight. As classic as this cheesecake is, I've tweaked it just a bit, obviously, to make it a little lighter. It still packs amazing flavor and texture, it's just on the fluffier side, and who doesn't like a fluffy cheesecake?
