Happy Spring! Today I have a fun and easy sweet treat. Meringues and pavlovas are one of those desserts that always looks so impressive to me. First, they remind of spring and summer, loaded with fresh fruit; second, they are super rustic-looking, but still manage to look elegant and inviting. I suppose colorful fruit and syrups have a bit to do with this, but the beautiful white clouds of meringue set the stage. I never imagined this dessert could be so dead simple. But it is!

Today we have a great recipe that works as an appetizer; or you can serve these Simple Salt and Pepper Shrimp with rice or rice noodles and steamed vegetables. They would even make a great salad topper! Lightly fried shrimp is tossed with fresh ginger, garlic and scallions, seasoned with a savory salt and pepper blend. The combination of Sichuan peppercorns with black and white peppercorns creates an aromatic pepper blend that is fruity, bright and peppery.

Hello, it's great to see you today! I am kicking off this week with Mulligatawny Soup. Soup feels appropriate this week, as we have some very chilly days forecasted. Mulligatawny Soup originates from South Indian Cuisine; it's a curry soup that first became popular in India in the 18th century. By the 1800s, the soup was popular in England, appearing in cookbooks of the day. This is a hearty, rich and delicious soup with yams, carrots, and lentils. We also have tomato and apple, onion and fragrant, aromatic spices. I am a sucker for toppings, and I have added plenty of them for texture variety and flavor.

Welcome to Sunday Supper on Djalali Cooks. We have done a number of meatball recipes here on Djalali Cooks. It just makes me so happy to discover and invent new flavor profiles and combinations for meatballs. It's kind of like pasta in that way – there are so many possibilities! This recipe I found in Better Home and Gardens: Jerk Chicken Meatballs with Pineapple Glaze. All the aromatics of jerk seasoning flavor our chicken meatballs - including allspice. The pineapple glaze is sweet and spicy, again with allspice to give it a fantastic aromatic flavor.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Of course you know I had to do a fun St. Patrick's Pizza today. Honestly this pizza is a good one any time of year. I did one similar to this with my Pastrami Sandwich Pizza. If you think of a pizza as a giant open faced hot sandwich, you can get really creative with your toppings. For this St. Patrick's Pizza, we have thinly sliced corned beef, strips of leftover Skillet Roasted Cabbage, provolone and Gruyere cheese and we finish the pizza with sliced pepperoncini peppers and a secret sauce dressing by Marie's.

Today's recipe is a great side dish for St. Patrick's Day; Skillet Roasted Cabbage Wedges with hot bacon and mustard dressing. Even if you don't plan a meal to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, this side dish is a great way to prepare cabbage beyond the typical slaw. This recipe is really simple and it's pretty quick too – so let's get right to it!

Today I have a great recipe for a creamy pasta, loaded with green veggies and pancetta. Blue Cheese Bucatini with Greens and Pancetta. This recipe employs my favorite technique for getting creamy pasta – without using heavy cream. If you've been following Djalali Cooks for a bit, you will recognize this technique of using fat (in this case creamy Roquefort cheese), the starchy pasta cooking water and elbow grease to create a silky smooth and lightly creamy sauce.

Egg cups are such a great meal prep item, they're also perfect if you're hosting a brunch. Today I have an easy recipe for Ham and Greens Puff Pastry Egg Cups. I love having a dozen of these on hand because not only are they are perfect grab and go breakfast, they're great to have along side a salad or soup, as that little something extra. This recipe is simple and pretty quick, so let's get to it.
