Ever since I began going to the gym and working out, I’ve had to increase my daily in-take of protein. I got bored of eating the same old, tasteless hard-boiled eggs so my mom decided to spice things up for me (literally).

Now instead of having to force myself to eat the eggs, I look forward to “paneer-stuffed hard-boiled eggs”!

Growing up, my ultimate goal was to learn how to cook just like my grandma (or atleast try and get close to her level of cooking) so I would always spend my time with her in the kitchen whenever I’d visit her during my summer vacations. She taught me quite a few things but her tips and tricks always stuck with me and they still come in handy to this very day.

I still remember when I had first watched her make this vegetable cake recipe, I stood there thinking to myself ‘wow, this looks really easy. I can definitely make this’; however, it was the complete opposite. [Read more…]

But in reality, it’s low in fat, nourishing and an ultimate energy booster. [Read more…]
Being a vegetarian doesn’t mean that you will be deprived of the lip-smacking flavors of hot dogs. During trips to supermarkets and grocery stores, you must have come across frozen faux-meat or tofu hot dogs in the processed food section. They might satisfy your hot-dog cravings to some extent. But if you ask me – I hate them! I find them unusually hard, chewy and obviously unhealthy (don’t forget the preservatives in them)! So, I prefer to make my own version of hot dogs at home. They are purely vegetarian, fresh, easy on pocket and definitely more nutritious alternatives to its fake store-brought counterparts. [Read more…]
