Chaat masala? What the heck is that?Don’t worry this is not a complicated curry recipe! Chaat Masala is just a blend of different spices with a prominent tangy taste and a slight touch of heat from black peppers. Trust me when I tell you…It is ‘freaking finger-licking’ good! I think I won’t be wrong if […]
Salads
Teriyaki Salmon (Paleo, AIP)
I happened to come across an authentic recipe of Teriyaki Salmon on CPTV last month where the chef was a native Japanese Chef who was showing how to prepare an elaborate Japanese meal. It was quite enchanting to watch how she cooked using very simple ingredients and yet was able to create wonderful dishes! One […]
Chicken and Avocado Salad with Thai flavors (Paleo, AIP)
When salads are your whole meal, you want to pack a lot of punch in it. At least I do. Most days for lunch I will have some left over protein from dinner the previous night – usually some fish or chicken and then I just eat that along with some lettuce and celery. I don’t […]

Summery Pasta with a pesto sauce
Happy 4th of July folks! July is here and there are so many things to love about summer!

This year I didn’t do much vegetable gardening since […]
