Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Hope the New Year is going well for everyone thus far. The holidays that just went by were simply fabulous. We were blessed to be flanked by friends, some of whom are like family and of course there was too much food! I was pampered by my friend Vaishali who was visiting us this holiday […]
Fish is a great choice for dinner – takes less time to cook and it’s a healthier option than meat. Pan fried fish meaning shallow frying in a pan using not too much oil is what is very common in my house and the husband is undoubtedly the expert! Poor me therefore only prefers to bake. […]
If you have left over roasted or cooked chicken pieces, this is a dish that can come together in less than 30 minutes. How wonderful, right? Recently I happened to watch an episode of The Pioneer Woman on Food Network and she was making a pasta Alfredo with chicken. Later that evening I was scratching […]
One pot dishes ? Now that’s my kind of dish! Easy to make, easy to serve and easy to clean up. A busy mom’s best friend and ideal for weeknights! I rely on shrimp a lot when it comes to weeknight quick meals. My hand quickly reaches for that shrimp pack in the freezer when I have […]
If you like Chicken and if you eat Chinese take out, you would have certainly tried ‘Kung pao’ chicken. Kung Pao chicken is a fiery chicken stir fry dish with peanuts which has red chillies for the heat. Just like any other chinese take-out it tastes great while piping hot and when you are really […]
Happy 4th of July folks! July is here and there are so many things to love about summer! For me the best things in summer apart from the lovely weather are arrival of fresh vegetables and fruits – the berries, fruits and all the summer vegetables. This year I didn’t do much vegetable gardening since […]
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 […]
Goodness me! Did I really make Tamales? From scratch? Yes ..And that too on a weeknight after work? I must be crazy! Well a little bit crazy perhaps… but I did have a reason for doing what I did – trying to make tamales on a weeknight! And the reason was that I had soaked […]
It has been a busy couple weeks – Spring and warm weather is here at last. But the kids outdoor sports activities have started too and with that and work and yard work etc etc there is no time to even blink! And I am also on my Mexican mission this month trying to read […]
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 […]
Imagine the goodness of almonds in your curry. Now add the most flavorful blend of spices to it. And then imagine ‘marinated in yoghurt’, tender, juicy, falling off the bone chicken pieces in this gravy. That my dear would be your Moghlai Chicken – A curry that originated in the Moghul era and was cooked for […]
My husband makes the meanest Chicken burger ever! 🙂 No I really mean it! Men are really great at grilling, aren’t they? Actually my husband happens to think that we (women) like to designate them as such so that we can avoid all the hard work involved there:) And by hard work he means cleaning […]
