Living on a budget inspired me to come up with this super tasty and healthy side dish. Pairs beautifully with White Fish or grilled Pork Chop and Fresh Broccoli!

Herbed Fennel Salad

Herbed Fennel Salad

Sometimes a dish comes together just exactly as you’d hoped. This is one of those dishes. Crisp and sweet and savory and herbaceous, I served this alongside grilled lamb and it was perfection. You could serve this with some olives and crusty bread for a light lunch.

Basil tomato squash

A fresh taste of summer. Low calorie, big flavor, satisfying. I just created it tonight instead of a caprese salad. (Because someone ate all the fresh mozzarella, ugh.)

Crispy Veg Pakora is made with gram flour/chickpea flour and is one of the most famous snacks from Pakistan. We make it with different veggies or even with chicken.

Sticky Sesame Cauliflower

Sticky Sesame Cauliflower

Sesame Chicken is one of my all time favorite Chinese take-out dishes. Despite my affinity for it, the summer is slowly approaching and I’m doing everything I can to cut unnecessary calories and fat, without compromising flavor. For example, although we’re breading our Cauliflower, we’ll avoid a ton of excess fat and calories by baking our florets instead of frying them. Even though this is a healthier choice than traditional Chinese take-out, no flavor or comfort factor is compromised.
