Whole30 Recipe Round Up

Shveta Berry — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 22:15:28 +0000

It has been over two months since I completed the Whole30 and I still feel the benefits of the program. For the most part, I’ve continued to eat Whole30 unless I am at a restaurant and then I get carte blanche to indulge. I typically only eat out 2-3 times a week so these...

Stuffed Dates

At the beginning of my Whole30, the thing I probably missed the most was cheese. So when I stumbled upon Nom Nom Paleo’s recipe for macadamia nut “ricotta” I was pretty excited. It is a cinch to make in the food processor and requires less than five ingredients. During the Whole30, I used it to...

Whole Roasted Indian Cauliflower

Growing up in a vegetarian Indian home meant that there was no meaty piéce de resistance like a standing rib roast when we entertained. If my mom wanted to step it up a notch, she would serve vegetables whole. The two examples that come to mind immediately for me are her whole roasted cauliflower that...

Whole30 Recap

Well folks, my Whole30 ended earlier this week. This was the first time in my life I have embarked on any sort of elimination diet and, honestly, it surprised me. The health benefits were great and the effect on my cooking even more profound. If I’m being perfectly honest, my cooking and eating were in...

Berry Pulao

I visited Mumbai for the first time back in 2011 and despite only the one visit, it remains my favorite Indian city. My husband, Arjun’s sister was living there at the time and we took our (then) baby boy, Shiv on his first trip to India to visit Arjun’s family. Mumbai charmed me with its seaside...

Chai Chia Seed Pudding

Shveta Berry — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 23:54:54 +0000

Before I was on the Whole30 my breakfast would be either some sort of egg (boiled being the go-to) or oatmeal plus fruit. Since I can’t currently eat grains, I have been eating a lot of eggs. The easiest way to do this and still get out the door on time is by making a...

Curried Sweet Potato Bisque

Shveta Berry — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 21:41:17 +0000

Towards the end of last year I started hearing about a newish way of eating called the Whole30. Now I am not a diet kind of gal. I believe all foods have a place in your life in moderation. Or at least I did. What convinced me to look into the Whole30 was that really...

Stir-Fried Green Beans with Cumin

Shveta Berry — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 04:55:33 +0000

I have a confessions to make….I am a hoarder….of cookbooks. Much to my husband’s dismay I have a rather large collection of cookbooks that only seems to be expanding. It doesn’t help that up until very recently, my sister worked at a major New York publishing house and would send me a box of free...

Quick Sautéed Bell Pepper

Shveta Berry — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 03:37:35 +0000

Three weeks ago my little man started Kindergarten. Now, he has been attending school prior to this but for some reason this feels like he has officially entered “school.” And likewise, I feel like with the start of the school year comes a regular “school” year schedule. The one thing that can be tricky is the weeknight...

Masala Egg Scramble

On our most recent trip to India at the start of this year, we had the good fortune to stay at the charmingly old world Tollygunje Club in Kolkata. And included as part of our stay was breakfast. And part of the breakfast was an egg station where you could basically get whatever your heart...
