Cilantro Lime Chicken

Hi friends it’s Palak here! My husband Neil has always been big into grilling and smoking meats, and this recipe is a result of one of his experiments. The marinade only uses a few ingredients and you likely already have them on hand. Although it only uses a few ingredients it packs a robust flavor…

Cilantro Chutney

As a huge fan of sauces, cilantro chutney tops our list for favorite Indian “sauce.” It is so delicious and versatile you can pair it with literally anything! Samosa, our Tandoori Kebabs, sandwiches/wraps, dhokla, and tikki are just some of the options. This chutney is super easy to make and will last in an airtight…

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

This is a go to healthy lunch prep for me! I’ve been making it for years and have had plenty of time to perfect this recipe. It’s easy to make and I’ve been able to flex it to accommodate the wideeeeeeeeeee variety of diets I’ve followed (Paleo, Keto, Whole30 to name a few). You can…

Cauliflower Gnocchi

Let’s be real – planning a meal, getting groceries, cooking and then doing a pile of dishes can be overwhelming and time consuming. We all need some express meals for those busy days when we’re working late, trying to make it to a gym class or just plain tired. We wanted to see what others…

Chicken & Rice – Halal Guy’s Copycat

After our first visit to the Halal Guy’s chicken & rice cart in NYC we were hooked. It’s probably been a decade since our first visit but we remember it well. A warm summer night (more likely early morning TBH) waiting in line not knowing what to expect, and getting wafts of the aromatic rice…

Overnight Oats

I used to be so great about waking up early enough to make a nice hot breakfast of eggs, avocado toast and coffee before work. Unfortunately, those days are long gone! More often than not, I’m rushing out the door in the mornings and these overnight oats have become a staple in my house. They’re…

Tandoori Chicken Kebabs

With the start of spring, these Tandoori Chicken Kebabs have been on our mind and are the perfect way to kick off grilling season! It probably has to do with the fact our Dad loves to grill and growing up our summers consisted of weekly family BBQ’s with copious amounts of food. One of his…

They are packed with protein and flavor, making them perfect for pre-made lunches for a busy week or a quick weeknight dinner!
