As promised! This is the made-from-scratch version of the teriyaki stir-fry that my husband whipped up with our leftover veggies. He’s so good at improvising meals with what we have on hand. I loved it, and decided to come up with my own homemade teriyaki sauce to replace the jarred kind. This dish is inauthentic (maybe we can call it Asian fusion), but definitely delicious and healthier than take-out....

More on Apple Milkshake I usually make Apple Milkshake with sweet tasting soft textured apples. I also make it with a plant based milk like almond milk or coconut milk. In this recipe, I have added ground cinnamon powder. But if you don’t use cinnamon powder during fasting, then skip it entirely. Always serve milkshakes fresh and don’t refrigerate them to be served later. The freshness goes away and the taste also changes....

More on Butter Murukku As I mentioned in the beginning, Murukku is to South India, what Chakli or chakri is to Maharashtra and Gujarat.

The Butter Murukku is one of our favorite snacks too at home. My family swears by this tasty snack, especially during our evening chai sessions....
Como? Well, because pieces of grilled Carne Asada stuffed into each wedge with Chipotle flavours and an abundance of melted cheese.

This may just have been breakfast. This morning. Aaaahhhh…the life of a blogger. And this particular Pull Apart Bread can be served as an appetiser of main....

At times I steam extra idlis, just to make this recipe of chilli idli....
As usual, when I think of a salad, I don’t think of rabbit food. Rabbit food? Example: 4 small, poor looking lettuce leaves with 2 strands of grated carrot and a tear in my eye because I can’t do it. I think of salad as a meal. Or rather, I transfer them into a meal. I had some leftovers from the Crispy Slow Cooker Carnitas over the weekend….and a salad is all I could think of....

Here’s the paradox of producing a healthy cookbook: the stress of it leads to cravings for all kinds of not-so-healthy things. Like, mac and cheese. Pizza, delivered. Spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream. Those chocolate coconut almonds from Trader Joe’s (have you tried them?!). I’m only human. I’m in the thick of recipe writing now, and it’s tedious work. I think and re-think how to structure each recipe so it’s easy to understand....

I tend to keep to myself, especially in yoga class. It’s not a very social form of exercise, you know? Last year, when I walked into my usual Tuesday evening yoga class and my instructor shouted, “COOKIE AND KATE,” I froze. Kim, a regular in the class, had learned about my blog through her co-worker, and she said, “I know her! I go to yoga with her!” Then Kim told Kristina, the teacher, and then everyone found out....
I fear I’ll run out of summer Fridays before I run out of refreshing summer cocktail ideas, so I’m posting two today. So many cocktails to try, so little down time. Hiccup.

Cucumber Caipiranha Serves: 1 cocktail Classic caipirinhas are made with rum, lime and sugar....
What is Curd Rice Curd Rice (Yogurt Rice) is typically a South Indian dish made of curd (yogurt), cooked rice, herbs and spices. The states where it is most popularly consumed are Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is also quite common in Maharashtrian households. As a staple preparation, Curd Rice is not tempered and mostly all South Indian meals end with this version. However, the one with a tempering can be had as a meal or be served in formal gatherings and also as prasadam or naivedyam in temples....
