    I Love Pizza.But I never buy frozen pizza.Why?? Because I have found several alternative options that are fresher, tastier, healthier, and often cheaper than frozen grocery store pizza. Pita bread pizza is one of those options.

    Using Pita Bread As Pizza Crust

    There are typically many different kinds and brands of pita bread in the grocery store. It’s a cheap food item that can be used in many different ways, from making sandwiches, wraps to homemade pita chips.

    I made these Pita Pizzas on a rainy Sunday Evening. You know those weekends when you’re feeling slightly lazy, but still want a homemade meal, and something that is special, but not too much work? Anyone with me? Well, it was one of those days and this simple Barbecue Chicken Pita Pizzas recipe came in really handy especially with ready made pita bread (or you could make your own).

    • Egg Chop Roll Recipe

      Egg Chop Roll

      Very delicious and simple recipe for making a basic egg roll. Impress your guests with crispy homemade egg chop rolls filled with spicy egg mixture. So Delicious!!

      Egg Chop Roll Recipe
      Photo: Egg Chop Roll Recipe

      These rolls are so successful at my house, they were gone in no time. The beauty of the rolls is that are made in egg roll wrappers and are fried. I love cooking with egg roll wrappers and wonton wrappers because they are so versatile, you can really fill them with anything and are just super delicious. Of course you can bake them, or you can fry them, it all depends if you care about the extra calories or not.

      I chose to use simple egg filling for these rolls. Personally I also love chopped mushrooms and grated cheese in egg rolls. A lip-smacking Evening Snack.

    • Recipe: Seasoned Oven Fries

      Recipe: Seasoned Oven Fries

      Seasoned Oven Fries

      Crispy homemade fries – baked, not fried! – tossed in a delicious spicy seasoning mix. The perfect side to burgers, sandwiches, roasted meat, steak and so much more.
      This is my go-to french fry recipe! I’ve been making my fries like this for years and years! My family LOVES ’em!! These french fries are easy to make and really do get a little crispy on the outside just like a good french fry should!! Every bit as crispy and addictive as our regular fries, but with a smoky, spicy, super flavorful twist!
      Baking fries is so much easier and healthier than frying. The clean-up is a breeze and by making them yourself you control the ingredients and save money too! Y’all know I love that!

      This recipe takes a little planning to prep the fries before they are ready to bake, but it’s worth it!!

      Some Tricks to make Crispy Seasoned Oven Fries

      Here’s one very important trick I’ve learned for making the perfect batch of french fries: Soak ’em. Soak ’em good!

      Soaking your potatoes will help remove a lot of the starch, which allows them to crisp up on the outside while keeping a soft potato texture on the inside. If I’m in a hurry, I’ll just soak them for 30 minutes, but I generally like to let them sit for several hours if I’m smart enough to plan ahead that day. Which rarely happens, but hey, I try!

      Another good tip is to bake these on a wire rack so any additional moisture will drip down away from the fries. I use an oven safe cooling rack and place it in a foil lined baking sheet. This method works for me and keeps my oven clean at the same time.

      A little bit of oil and a simple seasoning mixture are all you need for delicious baked fries that will go with just about any meal.

      Sometimes I like to jazz up my fries with a little extra spice, some garlic, or a sprinkle of cheese, but this is a great basic recipe that I promise you and your family will love. Make sure you have plenty of ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce on hand, and you might even want to make a double batch… they will disappear quickly!

      Spicy Potato Rolls

      Are you a fan of the Potatoes & Peas like me? I love Potatoes, I love Crispy Rolls so I combined the two love of my life and created this masterpiece 🙂 ♥

      Photo: Spicy Potato Rolls

      Mostly I eat as less meat as possible, simply because I don’ t like the taste of chicken anymore. I am a big fan of potato and peas, and I especially buy them on a weekly basis. Some times however those darn, and delicious potatoes tend to get a bit too soft, and if you are like me, I am just not a fan of really soft sweet potatoes. I was not going to let those potatoes get soft on me this time around, and that when I decided to make an attempt at stuffing them inside of crispy roll wrappers and see if they would turnout. Whoa! I love me some Crispy rolls, but now I really, really love them, especially these Spicy Potato Rolls!

      Spicy Potato rolls are the very easy tea time  snack which take little time to make. Potatoes and peas cooked with spices make up the stuffing of these potato rolls. These rolls were extremely easy to make and took no time at all. They were crunchy and tasty and went really well with the Apricot Chutney. My whole family really liked this simplest time time snack.

    • Aloo Tikki (Potato Patties) Recipe

      Aloo Tikki (Potato Patties)

      Aloo Tikki was one of the first few things I learnt to prepare as a young teenager growing up in Pakistan. Of course it  was mommy’s recipe which now has my input as well. These mini cutlets used to be part of my school lunch box for the  longest of time. It didn’t end there.  While studying at school, coming home late kind of became a normal. And these tikki’s became a life saver for the hungry  student.

      Believe it or not that even today, this particular item (Aloo Tikki Burger) is part of my lunch box at Uni almost daily. So you can imagine my un-ending love for these Aloo Tikki’s. This one is a treasured recipe. I would also share another version of potato cutlets at some point in time which are filled with winter vegetables and a  very special ingredient. The mango powder is the magic ingredient here that transforms the boring  potatoes in to a super star!  They are yummlicious and tastes great when served hot with green chutney or tomato sauce.

      It can be served as party snack, packed for picnic or can be relished as an evening snack. These Aloo Tikki’s are an amazing accompaniment to Pulao and they can easily work as a sandwich filler.
