Watch out Giada – there’s a new girl on the block and she’s jumping on the PAA-sta train 😉. Haha, just keeeding. Who can ever trump the Everyday Italian queen! This pasta comes pretty close though! This is inspired by my love for Cacio e Pepe and this simply delish pink peppercorn pasta dish at …
I am born & raised in Staten Island (aka Shaolin) and yes I mention this all the time, because rarely do you find first generation Indian families on Staten Island. But given the fact that I’m born in SI almost makes me half Italian…right?! LOL! What I mean by that is I looove Italian food …
Drop that Grilled Cheese & Tomato Sauce because there is a hotter, sassier, AND browner girl in town. Yes, I have done the unthinkable but dreamt about – Grilled Cheese with Tikka Masala Dip – 100% vegan!!! Ok y’all likely know my sentiments on Tikka Masala (Chicken Tikka Masala) by now – it is NOT …
I have to admit – I’ve never actually eaten ceviche before. BUT, I’ve been to enough Latin American restaurants and seen my middle sister eat it enough (she lives in Miami) to have a sense of what it might taste like. It always looked like a cross between an Indian koshumbri (Kannada for cold side …

I love it, you love it, we all love it. TACO BELL. I can confidently say that I have not met an Indian person (at least in the States) that dislikes Taco Bell, or even a non-Indian person. It is the only fast food chain that caters to vegetarian AND vegans for a long time, …
Let me start by saying that if you are not a chocolate chip cookie fan, you are not human. I literally do not know a soul that doesn’t like a classic chocolate chip cookie – even people who HATE chocolate like chocolate chip cookies. We grew up on the classic refrigerated pillsbury dough roll (where …
Honestly, this doesn’t need a fancy intro. You like cauliflower, I like cauliflower. We’re all screaming for… CAULIFLOWER. But! This ain’t no any old cauliflower rice or cauliflower wings. This is a Whole Roasted Cauli baby (yes I refer to my vegetables as babies. Back off), with a pretty unique marinade. And I recommend starting …
Alright, alright. I know the internet is swarmed with “Chana Masala” and “Chickpea Curry” recipes – ugh don’t even get my started on the word and use of ‘curry’ RAWR – but I can assure you, there isn’t a recipe out there like this! This Chole is a dish we’ve been making at home, so …
