Lemon Rice with Carrot Raita
Apr 16th
Lemon Rice
This is yet another favorite dish that I make when I have leftover rice on hand and (as usual) I am in a hurry to put together a delicious yet healthy meal. This version of Lemon Rice is based on traditional South Indian flavors although I am not sure if I always follow the tradition religiously and do try different variations now and then.Carrot Raita
I usually serve this rice with ‘Carrot Raita’ – Yogurt based condiment that is used as a side or sometimes a dip as well. There are numerous types of ‘raitas’ that you can make More >

Banana and Date Smoothie
I wanted a quick breakfast replacement this morning, and decided on a delicious smoothie. Smoothies can be made from any fruit combination you can dream up, but while some are very tasty and refreshing, not all are efficient hunger busters, if you need a meal replacement. Try this delicious banana and date combination to use as a replacement meal. Optionally you can use your meal replacement powder or dietary fiber powder in the mix, but it is good on is own too.Ingredients 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup yogurt or ice-cream 1 banana 2 tablespoons chopped dates More >

Today I got a new idea for a toasted open sandwich. I needed to get some brain-food and Omega 3 into my bloodstream, and opted for a tin of sardines. Tomatoes are rich in anti-cancer agents, and cheese – well melted cheese is just absolutely yummy. How could I not add that.
Ingredients: (per slice of toast)
1 slice of toasted bread
1 – 2 sardines
1 – 2 slices cheese (mozzarella is delicious)
2 – 4 slices tomato
Salt and pepper to taste
Pre-heat your grill.
Toast your bread, and butter it.
Start off by placing your tomato slices on the toast.

Sometimes we get into a real bind, and don’t have time to cook a full meal. But if you’re anything like me, you want to give your family something wholesome to eat. Just because it’s quick and easy to prepare, does not mean it has to be unhealthy.
Tonight was just such a night. We got home, and knew we would have to fly again early morning. So I made French toast with a bit of flair: I crossed it with a pizza.
Ingredients: (Per Person)
- 1 slice of bread
- 1 egg
- 2 – 3 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tomato relish or More >
