We love making Mexican food in our home, and if you follow Chef Priyanka, you probably notice a lot of Mexican recipes on my blog! I feel that the flavors and ingredients used in Mexican cooking are very similar to Indian/Asian food, and that may be why my family and I love it so much! …
A lot of what I make is based on what’s good in the grocery store that day. Earlier this weekend, I went to the grocery store just to get 2 items. But of course, I cam out with 5 bags full of unnecessary (but very necessary) items. I found some beautiful fresh Poblanos and instantly …
You all know my obsession with Mexican food and taco bell, but sometimes it’s nice to stay in and make it yourself. It’s also a LOT healthier, considering whenever I go to Taco Bell I’m “starving” and order enough for 5 adults and 2 small starving children. So try making this healthy tostada – super …
Chia seeds are all the rage now – packed with omega 33’s, antioxidants, potassium, protein, and fiber – these seeds can really be incorporated into anything. They don’t require cooking or blending, and have a neutral flavor. Below is my super simple 5-ingredient chia seed pudding that is perfect for breakfast or lunch. It’s super …
So it was falafel night again- if you haven’t noticed by now my family and I dislike eating the same type of food every night! And falafels are really easy to make and generally healthy.

Have you seen TASTY by Buzzfeed? I usually stumble upon the videos via Facebook and they have these amazing short clips that demonstrate how to make an entire dish, dessert, etc. I saw this clip for a layered Brownie Cheesecake, and I was pretty inspired! Diwali is coming up this week, and as most of …
I’ve always had a soft spot for chocolate mousse – so creamy, light, chocolatey, and just utterly satisfying. However, traditional chocolate mouse involves egg yolks and so is limited from a health and diet perspective. I wanted to figure out a way to achieve the same taste and consistency without the eggs, and that is …
Does this really need an introduction? Don’t the pictures just speak for themselves?! Chocolate Peanut-Butter Mascarpone French Toast: 4 slices of white bread 1/4 cup fat-free half&half 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp ground cinnamon 4 tbsp Reese’s Peanut Butter Spread 4 tbsp mascarpone chocolate chips peanut butter chips powdered sugar 1. Please half&half, vanilla …
Have you ever wanted to spend a weekend just eating and lounging? Heck, that sounds like every weekend for me, but I’m usually the one cooking and cleaning. It’s nice to get out and have someone do the cooking and cleaning for me, and it’s even better when they make me feel right at home …
