There’s been way too much brouhaha about all this protein nonsense these days. And I know, it’s all very true and much required and blah blah blah… All that I know of is a severe depression when I’m told to eat a piece of boiled egg and veggies for dinner. Terrible isn’t it?

Now my taste buds need spice, chatpata, namkeen… basically really tasty food. I’ve found the easiest way is to sprinkle some of this goodness on top – Organic Farmers Co. Quinoa Pops. I love the Wasabi flavour so that’s my go-to, but we even have it in Masala, Jaggery and Chilli Lime (available at Food & Wellness at The House of MG).

This salad is nothing too complicated – sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, salty feta, and basic lemon vinaigrette and a good dose of Wasabi Quinoa Pops for added zing!

I have always been the biggest fan of cinnamon rolls for special occasions, but my general cravings are usually for cheese-y salty, garlicky decadence. and bread is a forever love affair. so this recipe is adapted from one of my original cinnamon roll recipes, but a tad bit sturdier to hold the heavier wet filling these will fly off the cooling rack faster than you can say kitchen therapy!

Leek Mac + Cheese

This is a meal I make often just for myself. I love mac+cheese and it is very much a part of my dinner roster menu. I love mixing it up with various ingredients, but the one I love the most is adding lot's of sautéed leeks which adds such intense flavour and I still feel I have eaten my greens (pls no, don't believe me, this amount is not enough, pls add a green soup on the side!) This recipe mentions macaroni, but I use whatever pasta I have and I am partial to spaghetti at times!

A mashed potato cake is a dreamer's paradise. I found an Italian nonna's recipe for a mashed potato bake layered with ham and cheese, baked into a crusty glory - and I had to try it instantly. Of course, I had to add my version with a layer of colourful vegetables in the center and so here we have a baked savoury potato cake! And maybe one day, this version will be Kamini nonna's recipe for my grandchildren ;)
