So I had to hop onto the Dalgona train! Oh the pics on instagram were driving me crazy! I love me a good cup of coffee and that whipped soft coffee layer on top was just freaking killing me! At first I ignored all those posts thinking that to make a Paleo version would be […]

Seaweed, Carrot and Avocado Salad (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, Vegan)
I love watching ‘Chopped’, the food network show where competitors have to create fancy dishes using a set of basket ingredients. It’s so fun! Well, let’s say there’s a lot of fun nowadays in my kitchen since I have to work with whatever is available in my refrigerator and pantry:) Because of the shutdown, I […]
Gluten free and Grain free Pizza Crust (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
I make grain free flatbreads regularly using cassava flour. I also make a pizza crust that I have shared before but I have been making it since so long that I have now revised the recipe a bit to make it even better! This week I decided to do a video for that recipe […]
Quinoa Halwa (Gluten free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar free)
The very mention of ‘Halwa’ is likely to cause increased salivation in most Indians! And if you have been on a gluten free diet, then halwa just gets tossed out of your life 🙁 Halwa had always been my favorite, favorite dessert! Actually growing up my mom used to occasionally make ‘Broken Wheat […]
Sweet Potato ‘Chocolate’ Mug Cake (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
“Me making a Mug Cake? No! That’s never going to happen!” Yes that was me until a few months ago! I really was against such sweet treats since I thought they would derail me from my healing journey. I also thought that cooking in a microwave oven was bad. Especially if you cooked stuff in […]
Rainbow Salad with Teriyaki Dressing (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
‘Get the rainbow on your plate’ – This is something I frequently tell my clients. Eating a variety of vegetables is one of the ways to ensure nutrient density in your diet. In addition to having various minerals and vitamins, colored vegetables also have phytonutrients in them and these phytonutrients function as antioxidants slowing the […]
Banana Coconut Pancake (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
There is something incredibly delicious about this combination of bananas and coconut! If you have not tried them together, then you need to rectify that! Of course both of these are tropical fruits and banana plants and coconut palms are found together in most homes in Kerala, which is in southern India. And therefore not […]
Halloween Special: Dirt and Worms (Paleo, AIP)
When I sent the above pic to my husband, his first reaction was ‘ What? Where did the worms come from?’ He He, I felt good – my worms looked real! Thanks to these gummy worm molds that I ordered from amazon. Making these was a breeze! Getting that dirty brownish green color for the worms […]
Sweet Potato Kheer (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
Yes it is that time of the year again! The festival season! Being a transplant from India settled in the US, the holiday season for us starts from September itself! Our celebrations first begin with Onam which is a harvest festival celebrated by southern Indians (yes that would be us 🙂 ) followed by Diwali […]
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (Paleo, AIP, Vegan, Whole30)
I so love the color orange! And that is my favorite color when admiring fall foliage too! It represents vibrancy and a deep passion… like fire! So fall is here and along with the beautiful foliage we also get all the fall seasonal fruits like apples, pumpkins and squashes! And you can guess which is […]
Healthy Snack Bars (Paleo, Vegan) || Chocolate Nut Bars
I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to try making a Paleo snack bar! In my pre-paleo days, I used to make these ‘no bake’ breakfast bars and also a baked version of breakfast bars which I still make for my children. I have been meaning to try making a Paleo version for the longest […]
Home made Nutella || Hazelnut and Chocolate Spread (Paleo, Vegan)
‘Mom, I don’t know about this…is it going to be good? I mean Nutella is so good! Why can’t we have just that?’ ‘Have you checked the ingredients list for Nutella? Refined Sugar is the first ingredient! And then there is skim milk too. Two ingredients that mess up your metabolism and digestion’! “Anyways, let […]
