About Paneer Tikka Pizza A pizza, being junk food, usually has a bad reputation when it comes to health. However, when we are creating and recreating recipes at home, we can be selective and opt to choose ingredients consciously so that a little adjustment can be made.

Not long ago, while Cookie and I were out walking, I watched an older lady cross paths with another woman and her dog. I realized that the women were strangers. Dogs have a way of bringing people together, you know? As we walked up, my gray-haired neighbor was asking permission to pet the big, slobbery mastiff. Then came the usual, “What kind of dog is that?” question. Three single women, two dogs, one neighborhood intersection on a warm summer evening....

You can also add sauteed mushrooms or sauteed spinach or sauteed broccoli....

And Persian Wedding rice is made with the addition of dried fruit and nuts.
