Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
With Diwali just being around the corner….it falls on Oct 30th this year, it is going to coincide with Halloween and we know what that means, right? Yes, just sugar overload! The traditional Diwali sweets mostly all require dairy and tons of sugar. Oh boy! This past year has been one where I have spent […]
These dosas came out fabulous as good as the traditional ones with rice and urad dal. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. From Wells to Velcro and from tyres to test tube babies! Humans are a determined species indeed. And when someone who loves the typical south indian dosa made with rice and urad […]
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 […]
Cassava or Yuca root , called as ‘Kappa’ in Malayalam, is widely grown in southern India especially in Kerala and thereby is a staple in Kerala cuisine. Tapioca/Cassava is common in many other cuisines like South American and South Asian. For folks who get confused between tapioca and Cassava, they both essentially refer to the […]
Banana Bread is a favorite in my house. I must make it at least once a month. Actually whenever I have over ripe bananas. Most of the time I substitute some part of the flour with whole wheat flour. And then lots of walnuts and dried fruits also go in. Hence I like to make […]
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. right? Then what do you do when you have left over rotis? Simple, do what the Gujjus do – make Khakhras 🙂 And I have found a super easy way to make them too. Just spread the rotis with some butter / ghee and pop them in the […]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I mean it should be. I mean we need to make it an important meal. And by important I mean eating a healthy breakfast. Since mornings are usually busy for us especially on weekdays (and I suspect for most families too), of late I am trying […]
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 […]
In our family, we do have some differences when it comes to food preferences…but there is one thing that we all have in common and that’s our love for seafood! Oh boy, I am so glad that our kids have both developed a palate for fish just like my husband and I. We love our seafood in […]
Another quick and healthy snack from my amma’s repertoire of easy snack recipes! As kids we used to always come home to find a tea time snack and different types of aval (poha) dishes used to be common. I have posted one aval recipe before – Aval nanachathu. Today I am posting a variation of this. […]
The week before last week, our kitchen truly had the ‘international’ theme going on the entire week! Started with the Japanese meal on Monday which I posted last week and then mid week we had falafels and then ending with thai noodles on Friday. The days in between we had Indian and Mexican.! How wonderful isn’t it? For the […]
I love Mexican food and vegetable quesadillas is one of my favorites. But since the traditional quesadillas has cheese as the major component and I have been avoiding dairy now, I had been missing out on this food for the last few months. But as they say- necessity is the mother of invention and I […]
