Most of the foods we cook at home are high in fiber and have high insulin sensitivity.Chickpeas, green and leafy vegetables, cinnamon, dry fenugreek appear very frequently on our dinner table. We made these crispy healthy kebabs for a week day dinner. Bursting with the goodness of vegetables these kebabs were a real low carb and low fat treat. Ingredients: 1 cup dry green chickpeas (green

We were in for a sweet surprise after we returned from Germany. Our lawn was greener than ever and our vegetable patch was bursting with veggies and herbs. I had planted some veggies in  early July after I returned from India. I know July is kinda late  but for my love of gardening I would not let the summer go without working in the yard :)  I left to Germany  on 4th August and these babies were

I am not a cola girl. I would any day trade pop for a glass of Nimboo pani (Lemonade), Jal Jeera ( a cumin flovored drink) or fresh fruit juice. Last Sunday was a beautiful day.It was 72 F outside ( If you live in the Midwest you know why it is a big deal  :) ) and a perfect afternoon to laze on the patio sipping  something refreshing while watching  the Falls colors in the backyard .

Rahul loves Chinese food. He can eat Fried Rice any day. In BadSalzDetfurth, Germany there are very few Chinese restaurants and the food there is "just Ok" types . So on Wednesday, when we were in mood for some oriental food ,we had no option but make a Chinese feast at home. However, I have been watching my diet and therfore wanted to keep the fare healthy. Well! There are also some smart ideas

I love the chicken wings with Mango Habanero sauce from BWW. I also love red tamarind-date chutney used in chaats and hot and sweet Thai sauce. Great! But I cannot eat these very often because of the high sugar content.My doctor once told me the human body doesnot process the fruit sugars in the same way as it processes the regular white sugar or artificial sweeteners. He told me fruits eaten in

We are still catching up with work,home chores,and ofcourse all the unpacking.We finally received our missing bag. According to the NorthWest Airlines the bag was sent back to Amsterdam after we checked it in Detroit after going through the customs. I wonder why? Anyways, I was elated to get the bag because thats where the stash of german choclates were put :) There is a week long "Apple fest"

After an eventful trip to Europe we got back to the states on 15th Oct. When I say eventful I really mean it. We witnessed a major car pile up on the Autobahn and could have easily been part of it if we had left to the airport about 3-5 minutes earlier. We are grateful we are back home safe and sound. Diwali was around the corner and I could not wait to get some action started in the kitchen.

There were a bunch of carrots lurking in the vegetable crisper.Last week I made Gajar Halwa for friends and wanted to make something to share with my German colleagues.We have tasted the best cakes,pastries and fine German chocolates here.I thought some finger food would be convenient.Also I wanted to participate in the "Microwave easy cooking" event hosted by Suma.After some brainstorming I set

There was some frozen spinach and cauliflower waiting to be used and I put together a simple casserole. This will make a nice side dish for a light meal or one to take to potluck parties. Ingredients: 1 cup Cauliflower florets 1 cup frozen Spinach,thawed 1 Tbsp Garlic,finely chopped 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil 1/4 cup milk 2 Tbsp grated Gouda cheese salt to taste Method: 1.

When your loved one is sick and the only thought on your mind is –“Honey,what can I do to make you feel better? ”then you definetly  want to cook something comforting and nourishing. Last week Rahul was sick and wanted to eat something light and flavorful for dinner. I saw a packet of mushrooms and bunch of scallions lying in the fridge and I knew there was a new recipe brewing in my head -

I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance in November 2008, after suffering from the symptoms for several years. I always looked tired and fatigued. I attributed it to the long hours spent at work, lots of caffeine and lack of sleep. I was working 80 hours/week and had developed sleeping disorders. But I enjoyed the work. I loved the challenge and the thrill which came with the unrealistic schedule

We love soups. Panera Bread is one of our favourite places whenever we have to eat at chain restaurants. The soups there taste wonderful and I wish I could say something equally positive about the nutritional value of the soups. I wish the soups had less sugars and hence were low carb. The creamy tomato soup has  39 gms of carbs, 13 gms of sugar,740 mgs of sodium  and  23 gms of fat. Well, this

We often refer to this simple chicken curry as "Chicken Curry for the busy soul" . Why? On one of those busy weekdays if we crave for a rich chicken curry and really don’t have the time and the strength to cook it the traditional way, this simple recipe comes as our saviour. The curry not only looks rich but also tastes rich. When I mean rich- I mean the red vibrant color of the curry with a thin
