Vegetarianism Helps Achieve Personal Health and Wellness Goals

Tex Mex Breakfast Tofu Scrambled “Eggs”

Right from my childhood I have had issues with eggs. I won’t say I am allergic (the cakes never hurt me! ), but I would always throw up the minute it touched my tongue. My mom gave up trying and it was not a big deal since no one really…

2 Ingredient “Nutella” Popsicles

The boy doesn’t really need summer to eat popsicles. I tend to make fruit based popsicles, Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles for ex, throughout the year. Frozen fruits along with greek yogurt make nourishing and protein rich fun treats for kids (and adults alike). But occasionally I like to indulge the boy. To…

Grilled Cheese Naanwich

Life with kids, needless to say, is hectic and at times most times exhausting! At the end of the day, I am too tired to spend some time on me (‘cos working on me takes effort as well! ) To keep my sanity, I look at food options that take minimal…

Cream of Tomato Soup ( Indian style)

While growing up,  I really did not care for soup(s). My mom tried making few times until she kinda gave up on me liking it. Then came a stage in my late teens when I started having it at restaurants since everyone else ordered it at the table and felt it…

I have already posted Green Coriander (w/peanuts) Chutney and Green Mint Chutney  but you will find the subtle variations to chutney abound from family to family. Each one of them is absolutely delicious…

Pita Tostada

I love making things from scratch (like my Tiramisu, Apple Strudel, French Bread, Apple Rosemary Pie, Ricotta Cheese…you get the idea!). If I had my way, I would love to make freshly prepared meals throughout the day. But life happens and it brings 100,000 things to do KIDS into the…

Classic Oatmeal using Sprouted Rolled Oats

I was never big on oatmeal until I found this way of eating it – topped with assortment of flavors and colors. Its amazing how a pretty tame oatmeal gets brilliantly delicious when few spoons of nut butter, applesauce/date paste along with juicy seasonal fruits are added on top. Suddenly…

Vegetable Pulao using RightRice

There was a time when I seemed to be on a perpetual diet. I have tried multiple fads and every one of them have worked. For few weeks! Then I have to start it all over again. After a point, with years and experience comes the epiphany that its got to…

Instant pot Applesauce

We love applesauce in our house which is probably pretty evident to my regular readers who have already seen my 6 min Applesauce (using pressure cooker), Unsweetened Applesauce with Quince and Apple Butter. Now here I am once again with an another applesauce post, this time using Instant Pot. With all…
