Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
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 […]
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 […]
Tapas and tapas bar have to be Spain’s most enduring gastronomic icons. Tapas include a wide variety of appetizers, or snacks and may be served cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or hot (such as chopitos, which are battered, fried baby squid). A Tapa is traditionally just a single bite but you can order a larger portion too. It is also not uncommon to just order many different tapas […]
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 […]
What’s your favorite kind of food? If asked that question, I know it’s a little hard to come up with an answer ..one answer that is! OK so how if I ask you – what’s your favorite kind of appetizer? Appetizers are ‘teaser’ foods’, irresistible…where one cannot control the urge to grab a bite! As for me, […]
Nuts – whether they are almonds, cashews, pistachios or peanuts -you will always find these in my pantry. The ‘Mr’ loves to snack on these. So I am constantly replenishing the jars and they can never be empty because he will throw a fit. Over the years I have also acquired this habit of snacking on […]
Although winter is my least best season, I really love December. There is so much to do! Holiday shopping starts early with not only shopping for gifts but also clothes and kitchen items since everything seems to be on sale! Even if I don’t end up buying anything for myself or the home ultimately, I still need […]
I am often asked how I manage to cook a variety of dishes considering my hectic schedule at work and at home. Well the truth is that trying different recipes is what gets the boredom out of cooking for me and it no longer feels like ‘yet another thing to do’! This past week one evening […]
Want a quick and easy dip that is sure to please everyone at your party? You cannot go wrong with this one! This is easy and yet ‘dynamite’! Hot halopeno balanced with the sweetness of the roasted red peppers and mixed with creamy smooth avocado! It tastes best as a chunky dip – so even better […]
Would you like some fries to go with your order sir? Sure, absolutely! OK which one would you like – ‘Spicy Indian ‘, ‘Chipotle Chilli’, ‘Harissa’, or just plain? oh…how about all of them in a big platter! And I will skip the main course! Ha Ha. I don’t know about you guys but that’s what […]
Last month towards the fag end of school vacation, we decided to getaway last minute to the Cape for a couple days. Oh boy were we glad to do that! The gorgeous white sandy beaches and the blue waters proved to be just what we all needed for rejuvenating our mind and bodies. The kids […]
Anytime I am bored with the weeknight simple dinner of rice and dal(lentils), I reach out for that shrimp in my freezer! Just do a quick marinade with red chili, turmeric,salt and coconut oil and then shallow fry them in a pan. Now that certainly makes my normally ‘oh so fussy’, ultra slow and picky eater of […]
