One of her routine work included collecting the cream from milk, churning it every few days to make homemade white butter, making pure aromatic ghee from the butter and sharing the fruits { in this case ghee } of her labour with her loved ones. And then came a time when anything made of ghee was suddenly termed unhealthy as it was full of saturated fats. Coming from state of Haryana and Punjab { a land of doodh (milk) dahi (yogurt) and Ghee (clarified butter)}, where all three are component of everyday meals, I can say that I have seen most strong and healthy people in these states in India....

16 Published May 31, 2017, Updated Oct 06, 2019 Cold sores. They’re embarrassing and no one wants them, yet they’re nearly impossible to avoid. In fact, close to 90 percent of adults have been exposed to the virus, and nearly half suffer from them repeatedly. Like many people I was exposed early in life (I have a vivid memory of having a cold sore on picture day when I was in the third grade) and I’ve since struggled with reoccurring outbreaks....

Last week felt like an eternity. It was mostly the election and ensuing anxiety (and the loss of sleep it caused me for multiple nights), but it was also my husband’s surgery, which went well but has taken him somewhat out of commission for helping around here, and it was the general 2020 angst of daily living in these most abnormal of times. But whew, I feel like we’ve turned a huge corner, at least with the election and with the direction or country is going in....

I spent most of last week at the beach, working and taking super long walks on the beach. My kiddos are both at sleep-away camp and the house seemed just a little too quiet. But I’m back now and have a week before they come home. My puppy Sadie, our 9-month-old chocolate lab, is just home from training camp, so she and the older dog will keep me company. And I plan to work through TONS of recipes and get ahead a little bit so I can just spoil my kids with love and attention when they get back....

Yay for Friday! We’ve had our first full week of school, and I think we are all worn out. Which is maybe too bad for us, because my husband and son are headed to a Carolina Panthers football game tonight and we’re all headed to a baseball game tomorrow night. Add in some play dates and pool time and it might not be a very relaxing weekend. But at least we can sleep in a little!...

4.91 14 Published Jun 22, 2022, Updated Mar 05, 2024 This recipe is actually based off of the oat flour brownies. The only difference is that I swapped some of the oat flour with brewer’s yeast, which is one of the main ingredients that helps with milk production. I definitely noticed a difference in my supply when I ate my lactation cookies and lactation bites on a regular basis and I’m super pumped to now have a recipe for tasty brownies that will help with my supply as well....

4.32 20 Published Nov 23, 2020, Updated Nov 06, 2024 Funny story about when I was testing this recipe… we’ve been doing curbside pickup lately at Kroger so I put in an order for a turkey breast. I thought I was ordering a small turkey breast (similar to what you’d get if you ordered a chicken breast)… well little did I know what I actually ordered was a frozen 8 lb turkey breast....

It makes a delicious lunch or light dinner anytime. And I love serving this Instant Pot lemon chicken over some orzo to help soak up some of that incredible sauce.

Did you all enjoy the big game this past weekend? Did your team win? And more importantly, are you team chili or team pizza on Super Bowl Sunday? We were rooting for the Rams but weren’t super invested in the game, so it was really more of just a fun evening of watching football and eating good food. It was also a pretty low-key lazy day, since my husband and daughter were both under the weather....

We love a taco night in my house. It’s tasty, it’s easy and everyone can fix their tacos to their liking. That’s a win. And to keep it from getting boring, I try to vary our taco nights a bit from time to time. Our standard default is turkey tacos. They are a kid favorite and seriously tasty. But sometimes we make a big taco salad or switch it up with my creamy shredded chicken tacos....

These maple roasted brussels sprouts are vegan and paleo! It took me a while to realize why brussels sprouts got such a bad rap, and why they would often get lumped with broccoli as something kids couldn’t even be forced to eat. The reason is simple – you just got to cook ’em right! Overcook them and they turn stinky, boil them and they get soggy and mushy. The one sure-fire way to cook irresistibly flavorful brussels sprouts is to ROAST them!...

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Cancun 8 years ago and decided we’d head back south for our anniversary this year. Honestly it was one of the most relaxing trips we’ve done because we didn’t do anything but sit here: And down there: Lots of sunsets and beachcombing and plenty of virgin daquaris and pina coladas (aka tropical smoothies in grown-up cups) And of course eating. Why is it that all-inclusive resorts are always on the beach?...

Bacon is one of those foods I always have in my refrigerator. I cook with it, sure, and I use it for toppings. But mostly it’s part of our regular breakfasts. My son is a little bacon fiend, and so I’ve always got some available for him. Sometimes just as a side, like with cheesy baked eggs or our healthy waffles or pancakes. Other times I’m cooking some to go into a breakfast grilled cheese or add to a folded wrap....

3.9 10 Published Jul 02, 2021, Updated Jan 05, 2022 I honestly never would have thought to put pasta in the air fryer but I’m so glad I did because these pasta chips are really tasty and super addicting. Can I Bake Pasta Chips? If you don’t have an air fryer, you can totally bake them in a regular oven but they probably won’t get as crunchy. Just bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes....
