Cucumber raita is a popular yogurt-based side dish that you’ll typically see on every menu at any Indian restaurant. If the food ends up being too spicy, I always ask for a side of cucumber raita because the yogurt plus high-water content in the cucumbers are especially cooling. My favorite way to enjoy it is in the summer during peak cucumber and grilling season. A heaping side of raita with grilled tandoori chicken or kebabs is just chef’s kiss....

I think the whole paleo thing gets a bit of a bad rap for being a carnivore’s diet, that people eat nothing but meat all day. For me, that can’t be further from the truth. Having been on the Whole 30 for over 2 weeks now, I have to say that my meat consumption has not increased too much from before. I actually find myself eating more vegetables because I’m making noodles with zucchini (like this pasta and this pho dish) or making rice with cauliflower....

What I love about these freezer ideas is that you only have to do the prep work once, while making enough food for two or more meals. It’s a win-win situation! Vegetable-based meals are a little trickier to freeze than more traditional meals, so these are the three options I defer to the most often– because I know they work. I hope you enjoy the video below: Here are the details for the three freezer meals I mention in the video:...
Indeed, there is no better way to celebrate my love for purple than to create a recipe featuring a vibrant purple vegetable. Purple cauliflower is part of the Romanesco family, along with its green and yellow/orange cousins. To me, they taste just like regular cauliflower, but their gorgeous color sets them miles apart from the white variety. For some reason, this cauliflower reminds me of the “funky purple” ketchup that Heinz marketed in the 90s....

After posting 6 Things You Should Know Before Using Henna Hair Dye, a common question I receive is how henna hair dye works for covering gray hairs.

Before you dive into using henna dye on your hair, it’s important to know that not all brands are created equal....

So you can imagine my surprise when my husband and I were awoken at 4:30am to the sound of our baby monitor alerting us that the battery was low– when it was still plugged into the charger! In our groggy, still-asleep state, we couldn’t figure out why our charger had stopped working, but once we finally woke up we immediately figured out the problem. The power cord had frayed, probably from moving the charger back and forth for daily naps, to the point that it almost completely detached itself from the plug....
How to Cook Instant Pot Baked Potatoes Cooking potatoes in your Instant Pot is as easy as pouring a cup of water into the bottom, adding a trivet (I use the one that comes in the Instant Pot box), and then placing your potatoes on top of that to keep them out of the water. Instant Pot baked potatoes are technically steamed, rather than baked, so the skin won’t get crispy like they might in the oven, but that also means you never have to worry about the potatoes burning or over-cooking, either....
