This is a wholesome breakfast comprising of all the essential ingredients needed to kick-start your day and keep you satiated throughout the morning. Chano is essentially chickpeas and phovu is flattened rice. Chickpeas we know is a great source of protein and the flattened rice is essentially carbohydrates. The chickpeas is cooked with a tempering of mustard, curry leaves and green chilies. Traditionally, black chickpeas ( kala Chana is used). Here, I have used white chick peas or kabuli Chana. Sweet potatoes are sometimes added and sometimes not. I like to add sweet potatoes in mine as they are nutrient rich.</span></i></b></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OBldFhr1kIQ/YBiD4iTapTI/AAAAAAABCpg/OM5BS8EfC04DGETZMxLCMeVPSYbw4fDzACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Chano%2Bphovu%2B5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OBldFhr1kIQ/YBiD4iTapTI/AAAAAAABCpg/OM5BS8EfC04DGETZMxLCMeVPSYbw4fDzACLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/Chano%2Bphovu%2B5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><i><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">There are various ways in which phova chutney can be made.

This could be due to the fact that most people make New Year's resolutions, weight loss, eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyly being a few of them. It is never hard for an Indian to go meatless. We are experts at cooking up a plethora of vegan and vegetarian dishes using mother nature's bounty. Breadfruit is one of them. I personally love them!</p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">Jeevkadgi known as Breadfruit in English is tropical vegetable. Yes, it is not really a fruit. It never really ripens into anything. The inside becomes mushy and it rots once it ripens. It is usually used in cooking either when it growing or when it matures and the consistency of the fruit is just a little soft.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">We, the people of South Canara ( Mangalore, Udupi & Kundapur regions) love to cook breadfruit. We curry it in different ways, we batter fry it using different kinds of batter. You can find one kind of fry/ fritter here. It makes for a great accompaniment with tea.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">We curry it a couple of different ways: with gravy (which is usually saved for a mature breadfruit ) or like a dry subzi as I have today. This method can be used for both tender and mature breadfruits. I know the people in the Caribbean region roast it and eat it. I personally, love bread fruit any or all different ways. Growing up we had a breadfruit tree in our backyard which always gave us a bountiful crop year after year!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">Today's dry method is pretty simple and easy to make.

<i><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Yesterday my husband came back from the grocery store with a 5lb bag of
carrots. I asked him what I am supposed to do with that many carrots, he
said “ you can make carrot halwa”. I knew that meant he wanted me to make
the halwa. I ceded and made halwa using 5 big carrots. I still had a lot of
carrots. I have been wanting to make this blended dump carrot cake for a
long time. I decided to give it a try. Blender cake means the cake is make
using a blender or mixie ( without using any other fancy gadgets). Dump cake
means that the cake is made by dumping all the ingredients into one bowl and
mixing them up. In this case we dump all the ingredients into the
blender/mixie and mix them all up. You put it into a pan and bake them. I
decided to make muffins instead of baking them into a cake. The result was
these delicious looking golden beauties. My children finished them in half a
day!!

Yes, oatmeal every single day.. I am sure you must be thinking.. how boring!! Well, actually it isn't as I make my oatmeal many different ways: steel cut oatmeal, oatmeal with quinoa, oatmeal with lots of dry fruits, berries and nuts , masala oats and from time to time: overnight oats! </i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I have oatmeal for breakfast everyday because it is by far the easiest healthy and nutritious breakfast one can make in minutes. The good thing about overnight oats is that there is no cooking involved. You just dump/layer all the ingredients in the container that you are going to take it in and leave it in the fridge. The best thing about overnight oats is that it can be made/packed the night before , which means that making breakfast is one less thing to worry about in the morning upon waking. You just grab your jar of oatmeal from the fridge and head out the door. </i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Overnight oats has been especially good this summer helping me beat the heat! The yogurt and fruit medley are cooling to the body and highly enjoyable to the mouth!<img alt="😄" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f604" goomoji="1f604" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f604" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /> I especially love piling up all the fresh fruits on the oatmeal. I am sure you will too once you try it. I use chia seeds in mine, which is entirely optional. Do give it a try. You can use any fruits of your choice. While it is gluten free when you buy gluten free oats ( oats not contaminated by wheat ), it can be vegan if you use almond/soy milk and/or yogurt. I cannot think of an easier and healthier breakfast!!</i></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-jaHVm8-jw/X_z2KYq4mnI/AAAAAAABCQM/xedlL7_lE_sqqLTuOty9dbDEbhasdxpfACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Overnight%2BOats%2B1%2B%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-jaHVm8-jw/X_z2KYq4mnI/AAAAAAABCQM/xedlL7_lE_sqqLTuOty9dbDEbhasdxpfACLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/Overnight%2BOats%2B1%2B%25283%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><i><br /></i></span></div>

Truthfully, most Indian meals are vegetarian and quite wholesome. Growing up, nonvegeterian fare was cooked only on Sundays. However I understand the situation people here in the US find themselves in.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Sometimes my children get bored of having rice for dinner on a daily basis and ask for something else.. While they are not much of a <span class="il">pasta</span> fan, I think this particular time, they just felt like <span class="il">pasta</span> and requested for <span class="il">pasta</span> for dinner. I had a lonely pack of Rotelle <span class="il">pasta</span> sitting in my pantry and decided to use it. I was going to make a basic white sauce, throw in some peas and carrots and call it a day. Coincidently, on the back of the <span class="il">pasta</span> package I found the recipe for Rotelle <span class="il">Primavera</span>. Usually I am wary about recipes on the box but this one was vegetarian and had green beans asparagus, green peas and bell peppers. When I looked in my freezer, I found that I had used up my peas and carrots but I had a handful of just peas. In my refrigerator I had fresh green beans and purple asparagus. I didn’t have any peppers on hand. I didn’t have half and half so I used whole milk instead, which also cuts the calories! I decided to try the recipe. I am glad I did. It was quick and easy to make and the taste was delicious! The kids loved it and so did hubby!! I strongly recommend this wholesome <span class="il">pasta recipe, especially now that spring is here and there will be a plethora of fresh vegetables in the market.</span> No, this post has not been sponsored by Ronzoni <span class="il">pasta</span>!! </b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>My favorite way to include quinoa in my diet is by making a salad of some kind or mix it with rice in a Pulao. I usually make quinoa-Black bean salad or make methi pulao. When Camellia sent me a bag of Lima beans, I decided to make Quinoa Pulao without any rice in it using a very simple and basic recipe that doesn’t require too many ingredients or take too much time and yet is simply delicious. The end result was more like a warm salad that is nutritious what with both the main ingredients being protein-rich and quinoa we know is a superfood! </i></b></span></div>

Beans is a great source of protein, iron and folic acid. When coupled with a carbohydrate such as rice or bread, it makes for a complete meal. Beans form an integral part of the Indian diet as majority of the Indians are vegetarians. There exists a plethora of recipes in the Indian Cuisine that makes use of beans in some form or the other and is beautifully complimented with particular vegetables.<span style="color: #b00000; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">I chose to use Lima Beans to be showcased for this special day today as it happens to be my favorite beans. I have created 3 recipes using them, all of them gluten free, diary free, nut free: Lima Beans Rice, Lima Beans in a curry and Quinoa Lima Beans Pilaf, each one competing with the other in taste and ease of making it.</span></span><br />

By acting together as a global network, we can pivot towards more sustainable food production and farming systems, and achieve a climate friendly future. Food is a cause and victim of climate change, but also a delicious solution. This year, @SlowFoodUSA has focused on the positive solutions of Slow Food to connect the dots between farmers and consumers as the everyday climate champions. </span><b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>I am Indian and therefore rice has a ubiquitous presence in my diet. My husband prefers pulao( pilaf), fried rice, Biryani or any kind of one pot rice dish as opposed to plain white rice served with some curry ( side-dish that has gravy). Lima Beans is one of my favorite beans and I decided to make a rice dish using the Lima beans sent by our friends at Camellia Beans. Many of you must have eaten the cilantro lime rice at Chipotle. Imagine that with Lima beans added to it. Believe me when I tell you that not only does it taste delicious but it makes for a complete meal what with the essential elements of protein, carbohydrate, fat and minerals. </i></b></span></div>

Not the musical kind; the gastronomical kind. Song is basically the type of sauce or gravy that is make out of sautéed onions and tomatoes. Loads of onions and tomatoes are used in this dish. Song can be made with coconut ( masolu ghalnu) or without coconut in which case it is referred to as mirsange pitte song ( which essentially means song made with chilli powder). This is a nice tangy , spicy,delicious dish. Like I mentioned earlier there are several types of song: batate song( made with potatoes), mushroom song, tingalavre song ( made with navy beans).It is again one of the favorites in my household. The best part is that it is quick an easy to make! I decided to make this song with my favorite beans: baby Lima Beans. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: purple;">Servings: 4</span><br /><br /><span style="color: purple;">Ingredients:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;">Baby Lima beans: 1/2cup ( dry) </span></i></b></span></span></div>

Then drain the water, add fresh water about 1.5 cups and cook in pressure cooker with until tender. Generally about 15 minutes on medium heat or until you hear 1 whistle. Make sure you don't overcook the beans as the dish will turn into a mushy paste.Do not open the pressure cooker until the pressure has completely been released. Keep aside.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;">Heat oil in a frying pan/ wok on medium heat. Add the chopped onions, sauté until they turn almost golden brown. Add the tomatoes and sauté until the tomatoes begin to wilt. Now add turmeric powder and Chilli powder and sauté for 30 seconds. Now add the cooked navy beans( without the water) and mix well. Add the water left behind from cooking the beans as needed based on your desired consistency of the dish. Add salt, mix well. Simmer until it comes to a gentle boil. Turn off the flame.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;">Garnish with fresh cilantro.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;">Serve hot with rice/ roti/ bread.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;">Enjoy!</span></i></b></span></span></div>

I also have to humbly acknowledge that in the 12+ years that I have been living in this country I have never been to Qdoba. I have been to Chipotle on multiple occasions over the years.. Hmm wonder why??? Simple.. I think in NYC Chipotle is ubiquitous and there are very few Qdoba locations.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: 100%; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; orphans: 2; outline: transparent 0px; overflow: visible; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: 100%; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>As it is getting warmer outside, the desire to eat food that is light, refreshing encourages. One does not wish to slave in front of a stove when it is hot outside ( well, I never slave in front of the stove anyways!) Quite often you are not even hungry! I tend to make and eat more salads during summer. This is also excellent for BBQs and picnics. It’s makes for a perfect lunch. The kids also like it. You can use any kind of dressing with this one. I like to use a basic vinaigrette. Sometimes I will use a raspberry vinaigrette. My husband likes to pair it with creamy dressing such as Ranch or poppy seed dressing. Either ways this is a salad that is simple and quick to make and something everyone can enjoy! </i></b></span></div>

They are vegan yet taste like meat. They are made from plant based ingredients that are kosher with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The primary ingredient in the Chick’n strips is soy and ancient grain flour. I hope you had a chance to look at my post regarding vegan burgers from Gardein. You can check it out <a href="https://sus-healthy-living.blogspot.com/2018/05/spicy-vegan-burgers-with-sriracha.html">here</a>. Yesterday I had the chance to try their Teriyaki Chick’n strips.

<i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>I try to be equivocal about most things in life.. however, there are some things that I am passionate about. One of them is healthy eating. Therefore, I am a staunch proponent of the Meatless Monday Movement. If people make a start by going vegetarian atleast once a week, it will go a long way towards a healthy body and a healthy lifestyle. The issue for most people is that they have difficulty finding or preparing vegetarian food that is palatable to them to the same extent that meat is. Most vegan products that are used for substituting meat/chicken available in the market are dry, chalky, cardboard-like and tasteless, therefore not appealing to the masses. When I was approached by <a href="https://www.gardein.com/">Gardein Brand </a>via Meatless Monday to try their vegan products, I was curious and interested. I signed up for it and soon a nice cooler package arrived with the following items in it: </b></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>The first item I tried was the <a href="https://www.gardein.com/products/seven-grain-crispy-tenders-2/">Seven Grain Crispy Tenders</a>. It was so good that my kids ate it without realizing that it was not chicken. This is high praise indeed coming from my 6 and 9 year olds as both of them are very picky eaters who don’t really like to try anything they are not familiar with. They polished their plates off in no time! The crispy tenders are made with primarily from grains such as Kamut, khorasan wheat, amarnath, millet and quinoa. This takes these Tenders to a higher nutritional level and more bang for the buck.

As mothers we do everything for everyone else but us. We forget about our health, our well-being and “me” as an individual. In this day Cancer is ubiquitous. Every family has atleast one person who has been diagnosed with some form of cancer or the other. For us as women, breast cancer is most concerning. Breast cancer has become quite commonplace today. We can however fight it with good, healthy food and lifestyle. These are also the topics that Dr Kristi Funk addresses in her latest book “Breasts, an owner’s manual" which was released onto the bookshelves on May 1st , 2018. </i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>My family is a connoisseur of vegetarian food. Fish and chicken is cooked only occasionally. I love fish and cannot resist grilled chicken. However, my husband and kids prefer vegetarian food over non-vegetarian. Needless to say, I therefore end up cooking more vegetarian dishes than non-vegetarian. Truth be told, personally for me, cooking a vegetarian dish is much easier and quicker than non-vegetarian.</b></i></span></div>

I </span>am always on the quest for cooking in a healthier manner. I grew up in a family where 1 liter of oil would last the entire month. This recipe of Kristi’s uses no oil at all!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Happy New Year to all of you. To start off the year on a sweet note, I rustled up together some carrot Halwa or gaajar ka Halwa as it is popularly known. This is akin to a pudding where in shredded carrot is cooked with milk or milk solids, sugar and clarified butter. This is a winter delicacy. I remember the last time which was basically my first time making carrot halwa. It was almost 25 years ago on New Year’s eve, where I spent half the night cooking the carrots, waiting for it to reduce. You guys know that I am not a person for long drawn process. I never ventured to make it again until now. This time I used a quick technique which was basically a trial and error which worked out well. I bought shredded carrots which I pressure cooked with condensed milk which I then cooked on stovetop for a few minutes and reduced the liquid.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>There are many reasons for this apple pie! My son has been asking me to make him apple pie for days now!! I have had the mini-apple pie pan that I have been meaning to use for more than a year now!! We went apple picking and even brought apples for the pie but never made them! I even got the crust couple of weeks ago but only on Thanksgiving Day did I eventually get around to making the pies! There is a story behind that too.. My husband was very sick on Thanksgiving day and was resting. The kids and I were pottering around the house with nothing much to do. When my son went to take a nap, I told my daughter that we should make the pie. We got together and made the pie.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>At my work place, we have a tradition of celebrating everyone's birthdays. Recently it was one of my co-worker's birthday. She has dairy allergy and therefore cannot eat regular cakes. I wanted to make her something pretty that didn't have dairy in it. I then decided to make her a Chocolate-Orange Marble Bundt Cake with orange glaze. As you can see I have made Chocolate-Orange Marble Bundt Cake before but without the glaze. I used powdered sugar and royal icing flowers to decorate the cake. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My husband's birthday was in the recent past. I try to make birthdays special by making a cake from scratch for each of my family member. Even though we are not much of sweet eaters, my husband would be appreciative of a nicely made cake. I decided to make a Black Forest Cake as it is moist and delicious! Most importantly it is easy to make. This also happens to be one of the first cakes that I attempted 4-5 years ago when I first started baking. I must admit that it has been a learning curve and that I have learnt much since then about baking cakes.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I made a 4-layer Black Forest cake with fresh cherries in between the layers and whipped cream frosting. I used the maraschino cherries in syrup for the garnish on top. I had only two 6 inch pans so I baked in them and sliced each cake into 2 layers. This batter would easily fill three 6 inch pans. If you do that you don't have to cut the cake into layers. This batter would also be enough for two 8-inch pans, in which case you will have to slice the cake into 2 and then layer. I wanted something small and tall so I went with 6 inch pan. </span></div>
