Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Idiappam is one of the many breakfast dishes of Kerala. Rice noodles made from scratch and steam cooked in small rounds/mounds to resemble idlis. For breakfast they are often paired with egg curry. Another way to eat these for breakfast is by dipping in slightly sweetened coconut milk. Yum! That is still my favorite way […]
The family has a new name for me – ‘sneaky mom’ 🙂 Can’t blame them …I have been really on a roll lately adding spinach and carrot to idlis, then adding beets to the vegan chocolate cake I baked last weekend. So anyways I am happy with the title and the family is not really complaining. […]
Spicy Stuffed buns! Veggie Stuffed buns! One a penny, Two a penny, Tasty Stuffed buns! One of the Sri Lankan recipes that I had bookmarked a few weeks ago was these breakfast buns stuffed with a spicy onion filling. The onion and red chili filling in these buns is actually ‘seeni sambol’ which is a spicy onion chutney very popular in Sri […]
It is Pumpkin galore! Last fall I had made ‘baked Pumpkin donuts’ that the kids had just loved (and devoured). So this year again my munchkins were demanding the same. Being a blogger mom, I needed to make it even better for them right? And so what did I do? I added chocolate to the batter […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have admitted it before and I will say it again – Breakfast is not my thing really. Why? Well, for one, weekday mornings are so hectic and so I have to make do with cereal and or homemade cereal bars and two, I love to sleep in during the weekends (sheepish smile)… So making […]
Of late I have been posting many recipes with blueberries! Is it any surprise ? Come on… its blueberry season! This past weekend we went blueberry and raspberry picking. Every year I really look forward to the berry picking season. We don’t need to go too far to pick since our town is a perfect […]
‘Everything goes as long as it has chocolate in it’ ! And that’s very true about any thing (baked or otherwise) that comes out of my kitchen. Hardly surprising is it? I think I won’t be terribly way off if I stated that ‘Chocolate makes the world go around’ 🙂 While we are on this topic – […]
I am sure you all have heard it over and over, again and again – about how breakfast is the most important meal of your day.! So I am not going to belabor over that. You can read webMD if you really want to know why it’s important. 🙂 Do you really however make sure that you and your […]
