Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
One snack my mom made often when we were kids was this one made of flattened rice with coconut. It is so easy to put together especially now that we have frozen grated coconut available easily. Amma had to grate fresh coconut using her coconut scraper which was a laborious task. And one that she used […]
Being in the dead of summer and having kids around the house for more hours than usual only means you need more snacks to assuage those ‘ Mom, what can I eat? I am bored ‘ calls! I was looking for date recipes since I was having a large pack of dates lying around in […]
Yes its all about the sauce! This red chill tomatillo salsa called as Salsa Roja is the bomb! Hot and fiery with a slightly sour tinge from the tomatillos. This was a perfect complement to the vegetable quesadillas I made. Nothing too complicated about the quesadillas – they are my ‘go to’ recipe when I need to […]
When I started my blog about a year and a half ago, I was working from home full-time and that definitely saved me about a couple hours each day since I didn’t need to commute. Sadly, I had to move jobs last year and although things are good on the work front, I miss those days […]
The name ‘Mexican Wedding cookies’ sounds quite romantic and alluring right? These cookies are actually indeed quite cute and seductive looking – small cookie balls rolled in powdered sugar. And when you bite into them you get the flaky cookie with a delicious buttery pecan flavor. You could use walnuts too instead of pecans. And the best part is […]
The decision to do Mexico after Spain was just a practical one. Our friends happened to visit us a couple weekends ago and since they are vegetarian, I thought why not do a ‘Mexican’ meal?. Plus ‘Cinco de Mayo’ is just around the corner ! Thus the destination choice for Around the world #2 was made! I […]
I don’t know about you but I cannot help but feel amazed by the ‘food information explosion’ that we have been witnessing in the past 2-3 years. And of course I don’t mean that in a bad light at all. I just feel that over the last years there has been such a phenomenal increase in […]
Sometimes words are just superfluous…not needed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say these pumpkin donuts need neither a detailed description nor an elaborate post. Trust me – these are delicious and perfect for anytime snacking aka ‘sweet cravings’. And plenty of reasons for you to not feel guilty. # 1: These […]
My culinary adventures in Spanish cuisine these past few weeks have been absolutely wonderful. The family has enjoyed and appreciated every single one of the dishes made – Paella, flan, tortilla omelet, sizzling shrimp, chicken croquettes and apple fritters! I have posted the first 4 recipes and the rest 2 are in this post. Reading […]
Breakfast on a Saturday morning …hmm what would I like? Note I asked what would I like not what the ‘kids’ would like. As for them, they just want the usual pancakes and french toast. Going back to my question…let’s see – my husband’s special tomato upma! Which he does so sweetly make on most saturdays and waking […]
Valentine’s day is long gone… however, that doesn’t mean that your chocolate cravings are gone too right? Chocolate can be truly your best friend – you rely on it when you are blue…. you like to indulge in it when you are happy ….and when you are bored, chocolate always comes to your rescue! In recent months I […]
OK So we are still in Spain ..I mean virtually of course (and how unfortunate that is…wish I could be there in person too!). Anyways, I posted the incredibly delicious Paella recipe last week along with my friend Angela’s equally delicious ‘citrusy flan’ recipe. And now this week I wanted to explore Spanish cuisine some […]
