Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
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 […]
It’s Onam again! And I should say Onam week since Onam is perhaps the only Indian festival that lasts for 10 days! Of course only folks in Kerala still get a chance to celebrate it for 10 days. Less privileged ones like us have to wait for the weekend. But celebrate we will. And how? By cooking an […]
When it comes to cakes and breads, I never post a recipe unless I have tried it at least twice successfully. And when it came to Molten Lava cake, I have never been fully satisfied with the results until now! Over the past 1 year I have tried 3 different recipes and finally this 4 […]
Hi Folks Sharing this post that I wrote on a new blog I have started. As you will gather from this post, I have not been well for the last few weeks and have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I thought sharing my experiences with treatment and in general about dealing with different aspects of […]
Fish Nuggets! That’s the name my kids have given this! But don’t let the name fool you – these are nothing like the Nuggets mass produced by the fast food world. These are fish pieces dipped in a batter of chickpea flour (besan) and spices and cilantro. The fresh cilantro makes these so incredibly flavorful! […]
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 […]
Creamy ..Dreamy …Yummy…just fabulous! That about describes this ice cream made with cream cheese, fresh strawberries and oreo cookie crumbs! You can’t go wrong with these ingredients can you? You may recall that last summer I had made an ice cream with cream cheese and blueberries which had won the hearts of all my family […]
One snack my mom made often when we were kids was this one made of flattened rice with coconut. It is so easy to put together especially now that we have frozen grated coconut available easily. Amma had to grate fresh coconut using her coconut scraper which was a laborious task. And one that she used […]
Mom, can we make cherry Clafoutis? This was a question my 8 yr old asked me all summer last year but unfortunately this busy mom never got around to doing that with her. So so bad of me! She had saved a copy of the recipe that she had found in a ‘kid friendly recipe book’ […]
‘Life is too short’ … ‘live your life to the fullest and have no regrets’. All these words we have heard many times before but when you hear of an unexpected demise, these same words suddenly mean so much more real and make you realize the undeniable and harsh truth of life – that it is indeed too […]
Being in the dead of summer and having kids around the house for more hours than usual only means you need more snacks to assuage those ‘ Mom, what can I eat? I am bored ‘ calls! I was looking for date recipes since I was having a large pack of dates lying around in […]
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 […]
