Who doesn’t love taco night? Whether you like a simple one-ingredient taco or over-stuffed tacos with a bit of everything, I have just the thing for you. For me, a good taco has two stars. Firstly, perfectly seasoned and cooked meat and then, a killer salsa sauce to complement it. Once you have these two…
Lemony Brown Rice Salad
I have a really quick, delicious and healthy brown rice recipe for you. Brown rice is a great option for rice lovers and is so much healthier. It is great to use in a warm, one-bowl salad type dish. I am calling this a salad, because it is fulfilling yet light, and a meal on…
Steak & Roasted Vegetable Fajitas With Peach Salsa
I love Tex-Mex cuicine. There is something about flavorful food wrapped into warm tortillas that gets me every time. Every bite of a well-made taco bursts with flavor.

Yoo-hoo… I am back! I hope you guys missed me. Please humor me and say yes, won’t ya? I took some time out, traveled to India, and met with our dearest family. Except for the occasional blog post, I was pretty much out of the loop and offline. And guess what? I kind of liked…
Garbanzo Beans / Chickpeas / Kabuli Channa Vegetarian Chili
Growing up in India, we had this unfortunate notion that most western food is 1). Bland and/or 2). Requires almost no prep work. I am being delightfully enlightened over the past couple of years, to say the least. One wonderful dish I discovered in Texas is chili con carne or chili with meat. Traditionally made…
