WARNING: This is not a ‘healthy’ post, so don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂 These aren’t really “Almond Joy” cupcakes, but more so “Mounds” cupcakes. But I figured Mounds isn’t as popular as Almond Joy, so no one would’ve known what I was referring too. Anyways, Mounds is like the sister to Almond Joy- …
I had a sudden craving for a veggie burger, but with an Indian flair. In India, you’ll find different variations of veggie burgers, for instance- Frankies, Kati Rolls (which btw The Kati Roll Company on W 39th is amazing) , Vada Pav, Aloo Tikki etc. These are all essentially different forms of a veggie burger. …
Don’t need much of an introduction for these yummy pops, besides mentioning that they’re CRAZY easy to make and I used a slightly ghetto cake-pop method. What! I wanted cake pops fast and I was tired! Jeez, a chef can take some shortcuts! Anyways, I used Betty Crocker chocolate Chip Cookie mix and instead of …
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and even if you’re not Irish, doesn’t mean you can’t partake in the festivities!

You’re probably thinking how is this Eggless French Toast possible?! Well it is! I woke up this past Sunday morning with a sudden craving for french toast. I’m usually more of a home fries, cheesy-omlette type of person, but I can use a little bit of sweet-stickyness from time to time! So I decided why …
Growing up I wasn’t a very big fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t really like red roses and I hate hearts (maybe I’m traumatized by all the heart shaped jewelry that Staten Island girls wore). But, nonetheless I do like to indulge in chocolate and desserts whether or not I have a valentine. There’s no …
Here’s a list of yummy dishes you can serve at your Superbowl Party! They’re hearty, healthy and best of all, they’re vegetarian! Your guest will be begging for more! Full of spice and flavor, you don’t need the wings or the chili on top of your nachos to be satisfied while rooting for your favorite …
The Superbowl is around the corner! Get out the chips, dips and fried wings!! NOT. The Superbowl every year is about tailgating and partying. Now, for most that does mean calorific fried food items and generally non-vegetarian dishes. But, it’s time to change that! Indulging once a year is okay, but taking in about a …
This past weekend was my boyfriend’s birthday and I planned a surprise party for him (yes, I can be sweet when I try!). So, I decided to treat everyone to some quick, sweet bites- Banana Bread Cake Pops. Why the Banana Bread? Well, it’s a staple in the Naik House- we always have some moist, …
