Every time I make a trip to Costco, I purchase a eight-can package of chickpeas. Usually I am all for using dry chickpeas that have been soaking overnight, however having a can or two of chickpeas around is quite convenient – I make a lot of hummus and I make a lot of chickpea curry. This vegetarian curry is quite Read More …
Most of those that follow me on Instagram, know how much I love Organic Meadow dairy products. I recommend them to everyone I know simply because the quality of these products are absolutely amazing!

Okra is quite the interesting vegetable – It is known for it’s sticky/slimy texture once cooked, which is what turns many children off from trying it. However, I absolutely love Sri-Lankan style okra curry made with deep-fried okras tossed in a tomato-based gravy.

Over the weekend, I made some Minestrone soup and it was so comforting! It was thick, hearty, full of flavour, and loaded with vegetables such as celery, carrots, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, beans, and spinach. This is such a filling soup for vegans, vegetarians, and those simply looking to eat less meat. Served with a sprinkle of cheese and a slice Read More …

All three of my children are huge fans of Brussel sprouts, however the only way they ate them (until a couple days ago) was roasted with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. A few days ago, I used the brussel sprouts to make a varai and it turned out delicious. It was so quick to prepare as well, so I Read More …
Ever since I discovered that Parmesan cheese is made with rennet (an enzyme extracted from the stomach of calves), we have completely scrapped Parmesan cheese from the children’s diets. My pesto recipe contains no Parmesan cheese and is a suitable choice for both vegetarians and vegans. Not only that, but it is highly nutritious and delicious. In addition to Parmesan Read More …
About two months ago, I started to share some of the activities that I do with my 2-year-old Vishnu, on my Insta Stories on Instagram. I have received a ton of great feedback and so many questions so I thought I would take the time to write a detailed post about the types of activities that I implement in Vishnu’s Read More …
Having two boys, with birthdays three weeks of eachother equals to one big birthday party for both. However, since the boys are four years apart, finding a theme that they would both enjoy can be a bit tricky. Last year, I organized a carnival theme for Vishnu and focused on a magic theme for Karthik. Fortunately both themes correlated and Read More …
