Savoury, On Toast

I freaking love toast. Who doesn’t?! Almost everything today is served on toast, sweet or savoury. And honestly why not? So to make some already yummy toast, even more delicious I decided to top it with a bunch of different things. I’ve used a multigrain loaf you can get at any of your local grocery…

Homemade Granola Bars

So I tend to skip meals now days, due to my work schedule and the hours I keep. Which means when I do get a chance to eat, it needs to be something that’s relatively healthy, and also tasty. And these granola bars fit the bill perfectly. The bars are really really easy to make,…

Oven Dried Strawberries

Most of us are in this mad rush every morning to get to work. We’re just grabbing the first thing we can find, literally inhaling it as we get ready and then out the door we go. For those of us ‘healthy’ out there, we eat flavoured yoghurt or muesli and milk most days. If…

Green Goddess Quinoa Salad

In my second (you can check out the first here) collaboration with Pranita, I’m making a salad. Since the entire brief was about her wanting to lose weight, and be healthy while still eating delicious food, I decided to do a salad. So the concept of Green Goddess was developed wherein you use a bunch of…

Sandwiches

A sandwich is a done thing for a picnic. We stuck to two simple sandwiches a Chicken with Marinara Sauce and a Tomato and Cheese one. I had initially planned to do a pesto one however one of the salads had a pesto in it, so I thought why not change it up. Again, I…

Salads

  Salads are a super easy thing to whip up for a picnic, and are honestly super easy to eat. It’s not drippy, its light and can be eaten cold. We were quite ambitious while planning and decided to do 5 salads, but in the end we only made 3 salads. I made two a…

Chicken Salad with Spinach and Bacon

Since I haven’t done much of savoury so far, I thought I’d start now. This is a simple salad which takes no time at all. It’s the kind of thing I’d put together in the middle of the night and rightfully so since I got the recipe from Nigella’s Forever Summer book. It also works…

Honey Rosemary Ice Cream

Since I’m going on holiday today, I won’t be putting up posts everyday. There will be a new post going up every alternate day instead. I have one more post to end the icies and then its on to something else. I’ll only have four posts in that and then I’ll regularize when I am…

Flax and Poppy Seed Lemon Muffins

Something a little healthier than my previous posts, Flax and Poppy Seed Lemon Muffins. They work perfectly for breakfast and are easy to pick up as you are out the door. This is another recipe I picked up from the Leiths Technique Bible. For the muffins: 250g flour 2 tsps baking powder 1/2 tsp baking…

Lemon and Corriander Hummus

From the last two recipes, you can tell that I’m loving lemony things right now. I decided to switch it up and do something savoury. You could serve this with lavash or pita bread. I used the same recipe as I did for the walnut lavash, I just replaced the walnuts on top with sesame…
