I just realized…this post can totally do double duty as a St. Patrick’s Day post. Because green! I was a skeptic the first time I tried saag (with paneer, a fresh indian cheese) many moons ago. It’s not super, um, visually appealing let’s say. But the flavour. The flavour, guys! I can’t even remember where…

How To: Quickie Meal – Tofu and Vegetable Pomegranate Curry
This post was actually meant to go live last Monday. An ugly case of the stomach flu foiled that plan. Do you know what’s not fun to look at when you are nauseous and vommitting? A food blog! Thankfully I am now fully recovered and off my diet of toast, toast, and more…
How To: Healthy Lunch – Curry Roasted Butternut Squash, Chickpea, and Kale Salad with Tahini Dressing
It’s time to get back to reality folks. The holiday season has come and gone, school is back in session, and vacation time is over. I must say, I really didn’t mind being at work over the past two weeks. There was no traffic, I got the best parking spots, and everyone just seemed happier….

How To: Slow Cooker – Vegetarian Coconut Curry Soup
The dinner theme in our house these days can be summarized by one word – easy! Delicious? Sure that’s good too. And quick? A bonus. But most importantly, it has to be a meal that comes together with as little chiffonading and pan searing as possible. And this is why I have really been singing…
