My family loves to spend time in my sister-in-law’s place. Apart from her warm welcome, it’s her garden which serves as the prime attraction, especially for my little devils since they get lots of space to run around an materialize their mischiefs. But I fell in love with the garden owing to the luscious veggies growing in it. Each veggie always makes me wonder the wonderful dishes I could have whipped up if I had one such garden in my house. So, when she came to my house with a bag full of her garden-fresh Armenian cucumbers, I was delighted. So here I am with a cucumber salad recipe made from those very juicy fruits.

My mom has always been a fan of fruits. It doesn’t matter what fruit it is, if it’s a fruit my mom will eat it. The other day we found quite a variety of fruits in our fridge so we blended up a smoothie for ourselves but we had bits and pieces left over. Because my brother didn’t want to eat them in their “real form”, my mom thought about it for a moment and decided to change the form of the fruit into a fruit sauce. [Read more…]

Healthy Jicama Root Fries

Kids have a tendency to love anything that’s bad for them and hate anything that’s good for them: the perfect example being french fries. French fries seem harmless, after all, they’re just batons of potato sprinkled with salt, right? Wrong! Fast food restaurants fry them, then deep-fry them to make them extra crispy and top them with a salt serving that you’re supposed to have in an entire day! But because they’re a favorite of kids all around the world, you can’t always say no when they ask to eat some french fries.

Hummus has always been an integral part of Mediterranean cuisine as it brings out the flavor and it adds its own kick to everything that it is added to. However whenever you order hummus at a restaurant, you see more oil and less hummus which is EXTREMELY unhealthy and unappetizing.

As a vegetarian, tofu has always been a huge part of my diet as a substitute for meat products in order to get my daily dose of complete protein when I’m not eating lentils. Although many people believe that tofu is tasteless, they are unaware that taste can be added to it by marinating it with different spices. This tofu pasta salad recipe shows a good way to fuse Italian flavors in the traditionally flavorless Chinese tofu to create a pasta salad with a new twist. [Read more…]

My cousins are always complaining about not wanting to eat salad. I tried many different options. I added pasta to the salad, but they ate only the pasta. I tried adding croutons to the salad, but again they only ate the croutons. Consequently, I decided that I had to do something that would tempt them to eat it. I decided to make a face using different vegetables. Using lettuce as the skin, tomatoes as the eyebrows, black olives as the eyes, baby carrots as the nose, and cucumbers and red bell peppers as the mouth, I was able to make a decent looking face.
