Tacos are one of my favorite dishes. Unfortunately I’m not a very big fan of tacos with ground beef, so I decided to try it with chicken by adding some extra filling.

Hot Pimiento Cheese Bacon Dip

Air-Fried Pumpkin Shakarparas

Air-Fried Pumpkin Shakarparas

Growing up in an Indian-American household, shakarparas are a staple cookie for the holidays.

This tofu recipe blends the flavors, techniques, and style of a normal barbecue, but replaces the meat with extra firm tofu.
