Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
OK So August is always a very busy month – summer vacations, grad parties, get togethers, pool parties etc etc and in our household there is more! Three out of four people in our house have their birthdays in August ! He He…yes, I made sure both my kids were born on my birth month […]
The vegetable garden has been thriving! Well, not that I planted a lot this year – just a couple cucumber and zucchini since we were so so busy this spring. And then as soon as school vacation started we left for India. So with me gone away for almost a month, I did not want […]
A very happy ‘Holi’ to all those who celebrate this wonderful and colorful festival! A riot of colors, splashes of water, water balloons and yummy puran poli (sweet lentil stuffed flatbreads) are the images that come to mind when I think of Holi! Although we cannot afford to be that carefree now as we were […]
Finally we can say that fall has arrived in New England. This year the weather has been highly unusual with us seeing really high temperatures even in September. I bet that confused the trees and they forgot that their leaves needed to change color 🙂 I had been quite disappointed until now since the lovely […]
It is amazing how many new foods you come across when you are on a restricted diet.! Starting on a grain free diet 10 months ago, I was a little apprehensive on how long I would be able to stick to it. But believe me, I have come across so many new grain free options […]

Juice or smoothie? If you have wondered about that, let me quickly assure you that both of these are super beneficial for you. And you can use both to improve the health of your family! When you juice (using a juicer that has filters) you are removing the insoluble fiber – the pulp. Although fiber is […]
I had read somewhere a long time ago that if you don’t have the time (and the energy) to make an apple pie, an apple crisp can be the next best thing. I didn’t think much of this since apple pie is what my kids demand every apple season as soon as we go apple […]
This dish is a fine example of a ‘spur of the moment’ dish – A lazy sunday morning where breakfast happens late and then more laziness till about 1 PM. What do people want to eat for lunch? No response. Two heads poring over the iPad doing God knows what. Then when hunger pangs do […]
I am finally on a much needed sabbatical from work. Especially with the last two years being as crazy as they have been with my high paced work schedule and with my RA setting in last year. So I am taking a 3 month break from work to do the 3 Rs -rest, relax and rejuvenate […]
