It’s that time of year – when people begin regretting stuffing 3 donuts in their face every morning during the holidays or going to the movies 3 days in a row and promising yourself that you won’t eat popcorn, but you see a Cheetos popcorn special and order a small, a large, and a nachos. …
These juices are so versatile! What juices you ask? Lumi Juice of course! Did you see there’s a dedicated section for me on their site?! I love their product – drinking it straight and cooking with it! This week I created something deliciously Indian with their Belmont Beet juice. Belmont Beet has a very refreshing …
Did you eat Almond Joys or Mounds as a kid (or now, no shame)? Well, I did. I LOVE the combo of coconut and dark chocolate. It’s truly a classic. Coconut gives a tropical feel, while the dark chocolate adds a hint of French decadence. But onto the real topic – stolen bread. I am …
I see all these towering pancake posts on Instagram. Like – who is spending the time to make these for breakfast?! I can barely wake up in time to do my makeup in the morning, let alone make a towering stack of delicious pancakes. Keyword – delicious. So,, I (or you) may not have time …
Do you remember back to your college days when all you had was a microwave and Maggi Noodle packets? Oh wait, you don’t?! Well that was me. Just as my freshman year roomie (and now forced bff) would say about my Maggi Noodle days. We had one crappy microwave, but is was just good enough …
Not your momma’s lentil soup – that’s for sure! I realized that I don’t cook with legumes as much as I want to. I have grown up (and still do when I go to my parents) eating a lot of legumes – Indians love them legumes! We generally use them in daals (thick soups/stews), in …
Bread to me is like a blank canvas. There’s more to bread than just grilled cheese, toast, and croutons. I know avocado toasts are all the rage, but I seriously cannot justify spending $15+ at a time for one piece of bread and half an avocado. I grew up eating bread in very unique ways …
As a vegetarian I eat a lot of bread (if you haven’t already noticed by now), and I like making open-faced sandwiches and ‘toasts.’ But what really pisses me off is when restaurant offer ‘Avocado Toast’ at $15+ – WHY would I spend $15+ on one piece of bread with MAYBE half an avocado on …
I’ve seen these Smoothie Bowls popping up everywhere, especially on Instagram. They’re super colorful, look healthy and delicious. I do make smoothies from time to time and I had some ingredients all ready to go to make one before work. If you buy fresh fruit, I recommend washing, prepping, and freezing at least a quarter …
Have you ever eaten Stuffed Capsicum at an Indian restaurant? Its generally North Indian dish of roasted green bell peppers stuffed with a potato-paneer mixture and cooked in an aromatic gravy. I made a similar dish, except with a South Indian touch – no gravy, no paneer, and instead, with Cauliflower and South Indian spices. …
