When it comes to making dinner after the busy working days, I usually go for quick meal which can be ready in 30-45 minutes.e.g. pulao-raita, roti–sabji, dal dhokli or khichdi-kadhi. Among all these, our family favorites are roti-sabji and khichdi-kadhi combo. I usually make masala khichdi or vaghareli khichdi at least once a week. But recently, hubby gave up the white rice because of some medical reasons. So I started making khichdi with brown rice....

We hope you love this smoothie bowl. It’s perfect for all you peanut butter banana lovers out there who also love a healthy dose of greens....

I was at Noodles and Co. for the first time a few weeks ago with John and our cellist/runner friend, Arleigh. After scanning the menu and coming to our respective conclusions about what was thee best noodle dish, we approached the cashier and delivered our verdicts. John – penne marinara.Me – pad Thai with tofu.Arleigh, pad Thai without tofu. (side note: Arleigh later tried to steal my tofu because she sub consciously wanted it but forgot to order it....

Say hello to these SPICY Jackfruit Tacos that come together in less than 45 minutes in 1 pan! Huzzah! Origins of Tacos Who exactly invented the taco? It’s still a bit of a mystery! But a professor who has spent much time researching the topic theorizes that tacos were invented by Mexican silver miners in the 18th century. (source) Tacos became popular throughout Mexico and were introduced to the US by Mexican immigrants in the 19th century....

All of that fun goes into this fantastic salad. Hello, summer! It’s just too darn hot to eat anything but salads and spring rolls these days. Portland is experiencing a serious heat wave that’s only been intensified by our lack of air conditioning.

They’re crispy, salty-sweet, and toast up beautifully while you prepare the rest of your salad....

I have dry roasted the spices and ground to make fresh masala powder and used in making this rice. Freshly ground masala gives nice flavor to the dish. In other languages, it is known as Pulihora, Puliyodharai or Puliyogare. The term puli means something sour. In this case, it comes from tamarind. It is also called imli rice where imli is the Hindi word of tamarind. I have adapted this recipe from “this cookbook”....

This is not classic american chop suey dish which is made from beef and macaroni. Instead this is Indian chinese version. I have ordered this many times in India when we go for chinese dinner. This is my dad’s favorite. But here, I have not eaten that many times since hubby is fan of spicy food. He would prefer other dishes over this one. I enjoy this because of the combination of taste and texture....

Notice I said “style.” There is no actual game watching going on, just the snacking, which is the best part in my opinion. Thankfully, I lucked out and married John who is the exact same. We prefer Netflix over football any day. After discovering a Vegan Mexican Cheese that requires no soaking or cooking, I knew I had to do something special with it. This dip immediately came to mind....

Whether it’s a side effect of giving up dairy and relying more on cashews and coconuts or the maturing of my palette, I’m all for coconut these days. So it was only natural that I tried my hand at macaroons. Spoiler alert – nailed it. Traditionally, macaroons contain sweetened condensed milk and eggs. But to keep mine vegan friendly, I skipped the eggs altogether and sweetened them with maple syrup!...

My friend Katie was a server, and I managed the dessert counter (are we surprised?). And we both had a thing for the chocolate cake on our menu. It was three layers of rich, decadent, chocolatey goodness, and every once in a while, after a particularly long shift, we’d buy a slice, heat it up, top it with fudge, take two forks, and go to town. Ah, sweet bliss. One bite of this homemade chocolate cake sent me right back to that sweet moment in my adolescence....

Not only are these quick and easy to make requiring 7 ingredients, 10 minutes, and 1 food processor. They’re also healthier than your average truffle, relying on dates for natural sweetness, cacao powder for antioxidants, and cashew butter and almond flour for plenty of healthy fats and protein. Let’s do this! This recipe starts in the food processor. Pitted dates are blended with a bit of water and coconut oil, which adds creaminess and helps them firm up once chilled....
