We always keep rotating the same set of vegetables for our meals. I keep seeing this stout green tuber at our grocer, but mostly walk past it without a second glance. But not this time. I was on a mission to make my family eat some kohlrabi. It is similar to a turnip and shares…
Roasted Chicken And Ramen Noodles Soup
I hate it when my little Boy falls sick, even if it’s just the sniffles. I feel as if the universe conspires to make an otherwise sweet Boy feel miserable and sick. The biggest challenge when he is feeling down is feeding him something worthwhile. It has to be something mild, nutritious, easy to eat…
Chilled Beetroot, Tomato & Watermelon Soup {A Summery Borscht}
We’ve been trying to eat as much fresh vegetables and fruits as one possibly can this summer. And it feels good. We’ve also been trying to get our hands on the freshest produce we can. After every visit to the Farmer’s Market, I’m almost tempted to throw together a loaded veggie pizza, but I just…
Egg Drop Soup
Which is the easiest and most popular soups of all time? Some would say it is chicken noodle soup. But I would say it is the egg drop soup. If you are feeling low, in a real hurry or just need a comforting bowl of soup, all you need on hand are two ingredients –…

There are countless varieties available in cans, packets, and what not. But, soup just might be the easiest thing to put together. Most people like soup. I…
Light Potato Salad With Yogurt Dressing
I love the potato salad from Bill Miller BBQ. I do not have it that often, but I wanted it so bad the other day, I decided to make my own potato salad. I did not want to use mayonnaise or sour cream, but I found many recipes that used plain yogurt as the base for…
Chinese Rice Noodle Soup
The internet is a wonderful tool, and so is blogging. There is so much inspiration around us. This is especially true in the case of foodie blogs. It is so addictive, dangerous even. You may get fixated on some mouth-watering dish created by someone half a world away, and you just have to try it…
Spicy Shrimp Soup/Curry
I bought some frozen raw shrimp last weekend. I wanted to try out something new with them. And this afternoon, I came up with this spicy dish with fried shrimp in it. This dish contains roasted aromatic spices and coconut milk, creating a delicate balance. I think it was the gloomy weather outside that inspired me….
