Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Now this is a cake that I have been meaning to make for ever. I have looked at several recipes over the past few years and saved a few too. But somehow not got around baking it. Growing up in Mumbai, Plum Cake was a common pantry item. Yes I am serious – you would […]
Granola had been on my list to make for ever. I don’t know why it took so long for me to try it. Especially since I have made Homemade cereal bars before which has been a big hit in my house. Granola is actually much easier to make since you don’t need to chop the […]
What do you do with all those pumpkins you had around your house for decoration? I am sure most of you do use (I do hope you do because seriously otherwise there would be so much wastage of food !) up the pumpkin flesh. Very simple to cut the pumpkin into 2-4 big pieces and […]
OK not going to babble much here. Thanksgiving is tomorrow! One by one the dishes are coming together. We are celebrating as usual with our close friends – we are all a big family 🙂 So I have signed up for only a couple. But you know me, I do have to make an extra […]
Vegetable Pulao is a dish that you will find in every decent Indian cook’s repertoire. It is so easy to put together and its a one pot dish! Plus what I like about making pulao is that you can vary the amount or types of spices, use different combination of vegetables to come up with variations […]
Winter is here after all. Sigh. The last few weeks I have been visiting all our local farms to try and stock up on all the fresh apples of this season. Along with apples, there have been a good bounty of pumpkins and squash as well. This past weekend when I scouted the farms again to […]
Last time I asked my husband to get peanut butter for the kids snacks, he got a giant jar of it. Which of course the kids were only too happy about. But that instantly got me thinking about utilizing this peanut butter into other recipes! I had also been wanting to bake healthy recipes and had purchased […]
With Diwali just being around the corner….it falls on Oct 30th this year, it is going to coincide with Halloween and we know what that means, right? Yes, just sugar overload! The traditional Diwali sweets mostly all require dairy and tons of sugar. Oh boy! This past year has been one where I have spent […]
Fusion or confusion? ha ha Not sure. But it was a weeknight. Kids were hungry and I wanted to make them something quick. I got the shrimp out to defrost and soaked basmati rice having planned to make my favorite go-to ‘easy shrimp pulao‘. But as I started chopping the onions, I realized I had […]
These dosas came out fabulous as good as the traditional ones with rice and urad dal. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. From Wells to Velcro and from tyres to test tube babies! Humans are a determined species indeed. And when someone who loves the typical south indian dosa made with rice and urad […]
I had read somewhere a long time ago that if you don’t have the time (and the energy) to make an apple pie, an apple crisp can be the next best thing. I didn’t think much of this since apple pie is what my kids demand every apple season as soon as we go apple […]
