Crazy Foodie Stunts. Soni's Food — Indian Inspiration! Coriander Chicken Kebabs with Lemon Cilantro Yogurt Sauce. Why I don’t eat Indian food more often, I cannot tell you. With the first bite every time I eat it, I think to myself this is some seriously incredible flavor. The fragrant blend of spices and herbs and the creamy sauces that often accompany it, they are simply mouthwatering.
So my husband still orders the newspaper. Yes, he’s 28 years old, but sometimes I wonder if he grew up in a different era =). He says he has always read it every morning since he was a kid. You can omit the cream if you want to keep this recipe lighter, it is optional but I love it in Indian food.

Lemon Asparagus Couscous Salad with Tomatoes. Pearl couscous (otherwise known as Isreali couscous) tossed with asparagus, tomatoes and lemon juice make a vibrant Spring pasta salad that is perfect for lunch, as a side dish, or even to make as a side dish if you are grilling for Mother's Day this weekend! I'm not usually a fan of the taste of whole wheat pasta, but I don't mind it when the pasta is a smaller cut like orzo, angel hair and pearl couscous. Yes, for those of you who've never tried pearl couscous, it's basically pasta and I treat as such. I don't follow the directions on the box, instead I boil it in a pot of water like I would with orzo. I just adore the pearl shaped texture and also found it as the perfect shape for my daughter when started eating solid foods. This salad can be eaten room temperature or chilled, and leftovers are great the next day for lunch. Ingredients: Directions: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add asparagus and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
Chop it into small 1/2 inch pieces. Sweet Potato Lentil Quinoa "Meatloaf" (vegan) Amidst all of the fall love for pumpkins, squash and apples, I almost forgot about another fall favorite: the sweet potato. The sweet potato, or yam, is another vegetable to eat this season to get ready for the cold winter months. It has unsurpassable amounts of vitamin A and vitamin C. Plus the beta-carotene benefits are most definitely high enough to brag about. It has been said that the sweet potato is the most nutrient dense vegetable according to it's weight and price that you can buy at the market.
We did not plant any sweet potatoes in the garden this year, but I am hoping to next year because my family loves them so much. So to get creative with this great old favorite vegetable I decided to try my hand at making another ol' time favorite: a "meat"loaf. I topped the loaf with some gorgeous heirloom tomatoes from my garden.

Trying to find things to do with the kids in the middle of an Arizona summer can be hard when it is an average 105 degrees outside. So, when we are not in the pool (or in Southern California at the beach), we are busy finding indoor projects to occupy our minds…so we don’t end up losing them… So…when my kids were complaining that they were bored today and it was only ten o’clock in the morning, I decided to put them to work and adapt the Cherry Crumble recipe that I had planned on making the other day (before the neighborhood went dark) and found a good use for all of the blueberries and blackberries that were overflowing in the refrigerator.
This recipe honestly could not be easier. I am not kidding. Other than getting out all of the ingredients, I did nothing. My six and three year old made this entire dessert by themselves.

Healthy Lunches. Saturday Pancakes | GFCF and Egg-free - Lexie's Kitchen | Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free - In the beginning, the modifications we made to our son’s diet threw my husband for a loop. Weekends were his time to cook breakfast. It was a tradition he enjoyed, but remove gluten, eggs, and dairy and it became a serious challenge. So when I saw my husband flipping picture-perfect pancakes one Saturday morning, I nearly broke into tears. “Those have got to have egg in them,” I exclaimed.
Nope. They were gluten-, dairy- and egg-free and delicious! That’s when I knew I had married a genius and Saturday Pancakes were born. The recipe I am sharing today for Saturday Pancakes is featured in my cookbook Everyday Classics: 68 Tasty & Essential Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free and Soy Free Recipes. On the occasion that I use a ready-made gluten-free flour blend, I opt for Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour 1) because it is one of the few that is gum-free and 2) because it has proven to be one of the best performers when baking without eggs.

Here is my disclaimer up front: I am not a big meatloaf fan. I will eat it (because really, there is not much I will not eat). But it is not something I crave, nor enthusiastically enjoy. My husband, on the other hand, seems to have fond detailed childhood memories of this well-known comfort food.
So…I make it for him. As we started out as the newly co-habitating couple umpteen years ago, I attempted his childhood favorite on a number of occasions. It would receive mixed reviews and never any resounding accolades. After many efforts (none of which I was particularly proud of), I asked him to explain why there was not the same clamor for my meatloaf that he gave to his mother’s version.
After all of these years, he failed to mention this small, simple, yet obviously, quite important detail. So, I decided to adapt my meatloaf attempts to his likings. So, the next time I made it, I added a little touch of my own. For the milk, I use plain Hemp milk. For the eggs, well..I use eggs. 1. 2. 3.
