I love mixing my Eastern and Western culture by bringing together spicy Indian food with American staples that I grew up with – like Mac & Cheese! Although my tum tum loves that creamy cheesiness, my waistline doesn’t :) So I have to improvise in certain areas and end up always substituting ingredients because of […]
Truffles. No need to say more. I made this dish recently for lunch when I had that ever-so-often pasta craving. But as I don’t do anything half-assed I kicked out the typical red sauce and brought it up a notch. So enjoy my Truffle Mushroom Sauce. Serves 2 Ingredients: 8-10 ounce package fresh ravioli (I […]
Years ago I spent a month traveling through Thailand and got in-and-out of the country 100% safely, even though I have a severe peanut and tree nut allergy. Then a few years later, a local San Francisco restaurant (who shall remain nameless, Osha Thai) tried to kill me, as I had given my allergy card […]
If you’ve been reading through my personal website, by now you know I’m all about Clean Food. Meaning fresh grains, lots of veggies and lean meats mixed up with global spices and herbs. No processed crap, no ingredients I can’t recognize nor spell. This style of cooking is not only deelish but actually is good […]
I love grilled cheese sammys. Growing up my dad made great ones (sorry Mom) even though his version was Stroehmann bread, Kraft singles with some butter and then carefully grilled. He always added a ‘twist’ which made us giggle in delight, like adding some spicy pickle relish with a little ham and thinly sliced tomato. […]
I love burgers but I try not to eat red meat too often in keeping with a healthy and balanced diet. I make these super yummy veggie burgers made out of chickpeas (yes it’s the same as garbanzo beans) and I added sweet potato – because I love it and I can! Great bursting flavors […]
Being from the East Coast I spent many summers playing in the backyard with my pals while my dad was on our deck chillin’ and grillin’ up some scrumptious bites with a cold beer on the side (for him, not me). He is a great Chef and makes amazing kabobs, typically with ground beef. As […]
I started my mom on Quinoa after learning she is gluten intolerant. I’ll be honest, when I first tried it I can say it tasted like crap. Yuck..no flavor at all. I’ve been messing around in the kitchen to figure out what would actually make this grain have some taste so that she would actually […]
This is a great side dish that goes with my Herb Marinated Leg of Lamb recipe. You can eat this as a side for the lamb or put it on top if you’re making lamb sliders. It’s super healthy and easy to make ahead of time. Ingredients: 1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound) 1 teaspoon […]
I love authentic Mexican food but rarely get to eat it at restaurants because of two major food allergies that I have: avocado and corn. I’m sure your eyes popped out of your head when you read ‘avocado’. It’s the Beetlejuice type of reaction I get when I tell people. I don’t fret because my […]
