Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
This weekend is Sankranti, which is a festival celebrated all over India, albeit in different ways. This festival marks the sun’s transit into the Makara (Capricorn), marking the end of the month with the winter solstice and the start of longer days. As with all festivals, various feasts are prepared for Sankranti too. In western […]
Come again? A smoothie bowl? What’s that? Don’t worry, its nothing too complicated. In fact it’s the easiest way to add more fruits and vegetables into your diet! My earlier post on smoothies really talks about why smoothies are good for you and also gives you plenty of ideas to create your own smoothies. With […]
When you have limited options, your brain tries to make the best out of those. Something like that is what happened with this recipe. If you are on a grain free diet, you must have definitely come across spaghetti squash. If not, you are in the right place. I will show you how to cook […]
Living in the New England area has its own charms. And the severe winter is not one of them. Having transplanted ourselves to the US all the way from India two decades ago now, one would think we would be well-seasoned and ‘conditioned’ to the harsh weather. Not me. The only thing I like about […]
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 […]
So I had seen this recipe for Chocolate Fruit Cake by Southern-in-law, which looked very enticing. It was a refined sugar free and gluten free recipe. Last year I had baked an Indian Style Christmas Cake which is brown in color not due to chocolate but due to caramelization of sugar. In India it is commonly […]
With everyone being in holiday baking mood, distractions are everywhere. Folks like me who have successfully managed to stay on track for the entire past year on a strict paleo, modified AIP diet, however, still struggle when it comes to the holidays. Yeah for me personally, its not the ‘eating’ part that I miss as […]
Happy Holidays to all! With Christmas just being around the corner, sweet treats begin to surface everywhere. You see them at holiday parties, on food network, on instagram and also in all newspapers and magazines! There is no harm in making sweet treats once in a while – especially during the festive season and […]
Happy Holiday season to all of you! By mid-december, everyone around here (at least in our neck of woods here in Connecticut ) seem to get into the holiday mood! Folks are taking days off from work just so that they can finish up their christmas shopping or just so they can hang out at […]
Ooh..its December! I cannot believe it. How did we roll into December suddenly? Weren’t we enjoying summer just a few weeks back! Well at least it seemed like a few weeks back! And wait, it just seems like a few months ago that we welcomed 2017! And now you are telling me that we are […]
It feels funny writing a recipe post on Tikka Masala. That is because I had never been a fan of ‘Tikka masala’ that is typically found in Indian restaurants across the US and in India. The main reason for my disinterest was the abundance of cream in those curries. Even when I was not ‘dairy […]
I sometimes wonder if I could indeed have completed one year on Paleo/AIP if I had not come across cassava flour! Although I have embraced many different types of foods and cuisines in the last twenty years since moving to the United States, one thing that I can still not have enough of is ‘curry’! […]
