Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Blame it on the show! So I was watching a British reality show on Netflix ‘The Million Pound Menu’ where small street food stall owners compete against each other to get potential investors to invest big money in their business. The episode I was watching had two young women trying to sell ‘cookie dough’ in […]
There’s nothing like a freshly baked banana bread just out of the oven! The aroma in the kitchen while it’s baking is amazing right? When my kids were younger, I made banana bread pretty much every weekend. That used to be their afternoon snack when they came back from school. I would also sneak in […]
It’s amazing how the sight of foods that you grow up with bring you so much joy, right? Just like old TV commercials, the foods that you grew up with also make you feel nostalgic. Well, ‘Marie Biscuits’ are one such cookie that most of us from India are very familiar with. The marketing department […]
“Me making a Mug Cake? No! That’s never going to happen!” Yes that was me until a few months ago! I really was against such sweet treats since I thought they would derail me from my healing journey. I also thought that cooking in a microwave oven was bad. Especially if you cooked stuff in […]
Holiday season means you are entitled to some treats! However you can make ‘healthier’ versions of traditional treats with just a little bit of imagination. It will be worth all your efforts since you can indulge in these guilt free! During the Diwali holidays , I had made ‘coconut ladoos (balls)‘ which were absolutely a […]
There is something incredibly delicious about this combination of bananas and coconut! If you have not tried them together, then you need to rectify that! Of course both of these are tropical fruits and banana plants and coconut palms are found together in most homes in Kerala, which is in southern India. And therefore not […]
When I sent the above pic to my husband, his first reaction was ‘ What? Where did the worms come from?’ He He, I felt good – my worms looked real! Thanks to these gummy worm molds that I ordered from amazon. Making these was a breeze! Getting that dirty brownish green color for the worms […]
I so love the color orange! And that is my favorite color when admiring fall foliage too! It represents vibrancy and a deep passion… like fire! So fall is here and along with the beautiful foliage we also get all the fall seasonal fruits like apples, pumpkins and squashes! And you can guess which is […]
I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to try making a Paleo snack bar! In my pre-paleo days, I used to make these ‘no bake’ breakfast bars and also a baked version of breakfast bars which I still make for my children. I have been meaning to try making a Paleo version for the longest […]
Festival season is the most challenging when you are on a restrictive diet! The Indian Festival season just started with ‘Ganesh Chathurthi’ which celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha. The next couple months will bring more festivals including Onam (Kerala’s harvest festival) and Diwali, the Hindu New Year. What all of these festivals have in […]
Ada is a traditional keralan food where different kinds of stuffings are stuffed inside a rice flour dough and then steamed by wrapping them in banana leaves! As a kid, I loved the ‘Adas’ with the sweet coconut fillings. Yum! I have made a sweet potato version of these sweet coconut filling dumplings which you […]
Plantain fritters are a traditional snack of Kerala and I have posted the traditional version of Pazham Pori (as it is called in malayalam) earlier. Now of course I make the gluten free and grain free version using cassava flour. I actually prefer the texture of this version now more than the traditional version. Also I do […]
