Everyone has that one meal that reminds them of home. It brings back the sights and smells of home. Most importantly, it is entirely associated with the greatest food of all- mom’s cooking. Very few people don’t love their mom’s cooking and I am no exception. One of my favorite meals that my mom makes […]
My Instant Pot has made our lives easier in so many ways, not the least of which is by helping me make this regular family meal in a fraction of the time it used to previously take. Both my sons LOVE pasta. Basically like any other North American child. As somewhat health-conscious parents, my husband and I […]
Curried chickpeas, or “cholay” as they’re known, are such a delicious (but healthy) meal, especially for meatless Mondays. Our family has been trying to cut down our meat consumption for the last several months and instituting meatless Mondays.

Since getting pneumonia in August, I’ve just been getting sick frequently and struggling with keeping up with life. One of the things that has kept me sane and made getting dinner on the table for the […]
Warm, savoury curry with a hint of spice and so very easy- this is one of my favourite dishes that I’ve made in the Instant Pot. The recipe is heavily adapted from the Gastrosense blog. I’ll share what changes we made below but this one is definitely, definitely a keeper. Changes I made Because I […]
Who doesn’t love pasta? Certainly not our family. My kids can have pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner and all the snacks in between. Even though I shouldn’t, I often accompany them in this pursuit to consume all the pasta on the Eastern Seaboard, I’ve been working on subbing regular pasta out for whole wheat […]
