Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
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 […]
I love Middle Eastern food and think their kabobs are the best! When I was pregnant with my son, I had developed an aversion to chicken and even the smell of it made me want to throw up. Hence cooking chicken at home was a definite No No. Then one day we came across this […]
Actually I thought about the title for a full 10 minutes.! Since this soup also has greens – in fact three different kinds of greens – beet greens, kale and spinach, I wanted to put that in too but hey it was turning out ridiculously long! I didn’t want people to be deterred by the […]

All these years I used to always get store bought hummus and for some reason never thought of making it myself until recently when I realized that its not really that hard to make. And the ingredients that you need are pretty easy to find too – almost all of the ingredients are always in […]
I first tried Japanese cuisine about 10 years ago (with my husband really encouraging me to give it a try as he was already a huge fan by then!) and I liked the teriyaki chicken and salmon and all but when it came to sushi, I had a mental block. However my husband convinced me […]
Crunchy Murrukkus are loved any time of the year – be it Diwali or not. However, I somehow make them only during Diwali! It’s not very hard or complicated to make murrukkus. Its just the deep frying part that I am not crazy about. This time when I made these my daughter was not […]
