Happily Cooking

Skip to Recipe We have entered the first week of June, which means that it is time to bring out all the recipes that scream summer. Fruit Popsicle is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of summer. Because let's be honest, nothing helps unwind and unplug like biting into a frozen treat after a long, sweltering day. While it can be pretty tempting to bite into those store-bought popsicles that provide a sigh of relief during the hottest days, most of the time they run a little high in sugar, artificial colors, and preservatives. If you want to enjoy the nostalgic treat without all the extra sugar, then you have to try these Strawberry Mango Popsicles. One bite into these will take you back to your childhood. Refined sugar-free, vegan, and made with fresh fruits, these bright, red-and-orange-hued popsicles are a real treat to enjoy all summer long. These vibrant popsicles are easy to make, look gorge...

Skip to Recipe Summer is officially still a month away. But with temperature soaring up , and pineapples making their way to the grocery stores, I am all ready to enjoy the vibes of the tropics. I love pineapples and try to include them in my recipes as much as I can especially during the warmer months. While pineapple is terrific for smoothies and salsas, its flavor also shines brilliantly in savory recipes. The Pineapple Chicken delivers a burst of tropical flavors and is one of my go-to recipes just like my Hawaiian Chicken Burger with Grilled Pineapple and Easy Pineapple Salsa Tender chicken pieces, slices of pineapple and vegetables all tossed in a sweet and savory pineapple sauce, this recipe is ready on the table in less than 30 minutes. It is an easy weeknight meal that can be made in one pan making clean up a breeze! If you are a big fan of Asian Cuisine, here are some ot...

Skip to Recipe I’m super excited today because this is my 100th blog post. When I embarked on this food blogging journey, little did I know that it would slowly turn into my world. My blog has evolved over the past two years , and so have I. I am learning something new every day, and I know I still have a long way to go. It is not all sunshine and rainbows, there are days when I feel exhausted, days when I run out of ideas, or days when I am struggling to click appealing photos. But my heart rejoices every time I hear someone enjoyed one of my recipes, and that is my greatest driving force and inspires me to keep working hard. I want to take a moment and thank each one of you for taking the time to read my blog and supporting me. Warm weather calls for recipes that are easy, light, and refreshing, and the recipe that I am sharing this week is no exception. Whenever I am looking for a light meal for hot summer days, I turn to this s...

Skip to Recipe Spring is in its full glory! The weather is warmer and the days longer! The flowers are in full bloom, and the brown landscapes that seemed lifeless a few months ago are filled with lush greenery. The birds who had been caught until now in winter's prison make their presence felt in the backyard, mornings and evenings,with their constant chirping. It is the seemingly brief span of these glorious months that makes them so much treasured. To celebrate the season and the abundance of fresh berries available, I whipped up a batch of these Creamy Mixed Berries Popsicles. These refreshing treats are a healthy way to keep you cool in the summer months and will be a guaranteed hit with kids and adults alike. Creamy, refreshing, and delicious popsicles that are made with just 4 ingredients and without any fuss. You simply need to blend all the ingredients until smooth, pour the mixture into popsicle molds, cover, and free...

Skip to Recipe Panna Cotta is a classic elegant dessert that comes straight from the heart of Italy. It means 'cooked cream' in Italian and has a texture very similar to that of a custard or pudding. Though it is easy to think of it as something very fancy and daunting to make at home, it is one of the easiest desserts that you can come across. Rich and creamy Panna Cotta that is topped with a fresh, gorgeous, and vibrant mixed berry compote- it is undeniably delicious. Since it is spring, the market is packed with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries and making a mixed berry compote is a delicious way to use up all of those berries! The Panna Cotta is lightly sweetened and perfectly creamy, hence it pairs wonderfully with the tart berry compote. This Berry Compote also makes the perfect topping for french toast, pancakes, cheesecake, or even ice cream. The possibilities are endless! This d...
