Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
I don’t know about you but I cannot help but feel amazed by the ‘food information explosion’ that we have been witnessing in the past 2-3 years. And of course I don’t mean that in a bad light at all. I just feel that over the last years there has been such a phenomenal increase in […]
Green Mangoes! Just the thought of them makes my mouth water! In India, early in spring these green ones are so tart that a tiny bite makes your whole face pucker! Dip those tiny pieces in some salt and chili powder and you will keep wanting to take those bites again and again! My mom […]
Over the last two decades the media has been pushing it down our brains (and consequently down our throats!) – Whole milk is full fat and that it is bad for you. “To stay healthy and slim, go SKIM” seemed to be the golden mantra. Well, don’t be so sure! Like all myths (yes this […]
Sometimes words are just superfluous…not needed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say these pumpkin donuts need neither a detailed description nor an elaborate post. Trust me – these are delicious and perfect for anytime snacking aka ‘sweet cravings’. And plenty of reasons for you to not feel guilty. # 1: These […]
My culinary adventures in Spanish cuisine these past few weeks have been absolutely wonderful. The family has enjoyed and appreciated every single one of the dishes made – Paella, flan, tortilla omelet, sizzling shrimp, chicken croquettes and apple fritters! I have posted the first 4 recipes and the rest 2 are in this post. Reading […]
Ha Ha. The title easily gives away how serious I am about celebrating ‘Pi’ day! Well,.. ahem, I was never too crazy about mathematics. I mean I was good at it until 10th grade or so when it started becoming too complicated with theories (or was it theorems) that I slowly started losing interest! Hyperbola, parabola, […]
Green Papayas are a common vegetable in Kerala and consequently ‘Papaya thoran’ is one of many vegetable dishes in the typical Keralan household. The Papaya fruit is a highly nutritious fruit and an excellent source of vitamin C, folate, vitamin A, magnesium, copper, pantothenic acid and fiber. It also has B vitamins, alpha and beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthan, […]
Tapas and tapas bar have to be Spain’s most enduring gastronomic icons. Tapas include a wide variety of appetizers, or snacks and may be served cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or hot (such as chopitos, which are battered, fried baby squid). A Tapa is traditionally just a single bite but you can order a larger portion too. It is also not uncommon to just order many different tapas […]
Breakfast on a Saturday morning …hmm what would I like? Note I asked what would I like not what the ‘kids’ would like. As for them, they just want the usual pancakes and french toast. Going back to my question…let’s see – my husband’s special tomato upma! Which he does so sweetly make on most saturdays and waking […]
I did a guest post for Elaine from foodbod this week. And of course since this was for Elaine it had to be vegetarian, gluten free and healthy! So I thought of making this red chori (adzuki beans) and pumpkin curry. Check out my recipe by visiting Elaine’s blog where you will find hundreds of other […]
Valentine’s day is long gone… however, that doesn’t mean that your chocolate cravings are gone too right? Chocolate can be truly your best friend – you rely on it when you are blue…. you like to indulge in it when you are happy ….and when you are bored, chocolate always comes to your rescue! In recent months I […]
OK So we are still in Spain ..I mean virtually of course (and how unfortunate that is…wish I could be there in person too!). Anyways, I posted the incredibly delicious Paella recipe last week along with my friend Angela’s equally delicious ‘citrusy flan’ recipe. And now this week I wanted to explore Spanish cuisine some […]
