With Thanksgiving in a couple of days, there’s a lot of pressure to entertain and display your cooking skills to a crowd. I can’t imagine doing all the cooking and mingling on the same day. I wouldn’t want to be stuck in the kitchen while every body else is having fun in the living room. In such times, having pre-made pie dough in the fridge helps a lot!

No Thanksgiving feast is complete without potatoes in some form. For someone like me, who hasn’t had more than a couple of those scrumptious feasts, classic mashed potatoes are what dreams are made of. Continue reading “Creamy Mashed Potatoes”
Its soup weather and you can officially start having soup for every meal.
A good soup is like a giant hug, keeps you warm and happy with a sense of gratification. Talking about soup gives me all kinds of cozy feelings like a fuzzy blanket. Like curling up in bed with a good book and a mug of hot soup while it endlessly snows outside. Continue reading “Delicious Butternut Squash Soup”
I dream of breads!
Honestly, I do! My love for bread is undying! Even when I was advised to avoid gluten, I experimented with gluten free variations. There’s nothing more seductive to me than the art of making bread! Continue reading “Perfect Focaccia Bread”
Hummus is a staple in my household and disappears in less than a minute after serving. While testing recipes, I ate copious quantities of this velvety dip. I think the blood in my veins is now replaced with hummus. Continue reading “Easy Homemade Hummus”
If you know me, then you know I travel a lot with my partner. More often than not, we end up staying in chain hotels while on the road. I try to stay locally wherever I go and pay those folks instead of a multi-million dollar chain, but it’s not always possible. Continue reading “Autumn Breakfast Hash”
Ever since I was diagnosed of mild gluten intolerance, all kinds of breads, cakes, noodles, pastas have been diminished from my diet. Naturally, it had me wondering and listing all the food stuff devoid of gluten. I took my time and did some research. First thing that showed up in the gluten-free food list was ‘Oats’. Continue reading “Overnight oats and chia pudding”
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and I’m all for variety in this meal. Most of the days I consume smoothies, acai bowls, overnight oats and chia pudding or avocado toast for breakfast. However, some days I just feel an uncontrollable need to eat something spicy and that’s when I cave in and make something like I did today.
In no ways am I saying that you should restrict this dish for breakfast. Have it for lunch or dinner by all means. Continue reading “Eggplant Shakshuka”
Smoothies are my absolute favorite beverage! I can have them any time of the day, any day of the week, any week of the.. well you get the point!
I’m so excited to write this post because I have been asked for smoothie recipes on Instagram by few too many people. Well, finally here it is. Just a few of many many smoothies I have on a daily basis.
I have been making (and devouring) smoothies since quite long now. The first ever smoothie I made was with bananas, kiwi squash/concentrate, yogurt, milk and honey. As time passed, I experimented with a ton of fruits and veggies to create different types of smoothies with or without yogurt and milk. Recently I started leaving out regular milk from as many meals as I could. That also meant I cut down on yogurt. Started using almond milk which gave the smoothies a subtle flavor and made them sublime. Not that I turned vegan, just that I like the taste of almond milk. I also started adding protein and fruit powders to boost their health quo. Continue reading “Smoothies galore”
