Here's a little dish from our Eid celebration yesterday at my mom's house...lamb pulao - basmati rice & shredded lamb cooked in a blend of crushed tomatoes, garlic, cilantro chutney mixed with masala spices- cumin, coriander, pepper, & cardamom. Garnished here with dried rose petals & more cilantro. The lamb is marinated in papaya overnight (it acts as a tenderizer) & just melts onto your plate. I'm still working on getting my version up to her classic standards( nothing beats mom's cooking) so hopefully one day I can share the recipe with you all. Hope everyone has a happy Monday ❤ #goodeggseats #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #saveur #huffpostetaste #thekitchn #eatingwelleats #howisummer #jbfsummer #todayfood #tastingtable #foodblogfeed #eattheworld #rslove #eattherainbow #goopmake #thechalkboardeats #eatonhealth #beautifulcuisines #cuisinesworld #recipeoftheday #eeeats Here are my matcha green tea energy bites (from a few posts ago) to celebrate the "almost" first day of summer 💚🎉They are refined sugar free; made with figs, dates, ground ginger, coconut oil & almond flour. The matcha is subtle with just a hint to kickstart your snack time. Recipe is on the blog ☝️Link attached in profile #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #cookit #gloobyfood #eatingwelleats #healthyfoodshare #buzzfeedfood #thrivemags #tastingtable #foodgawker #howisummer #rslove #thekitchn #foodblogfeed #jadeleafmatcha #healthyaperture #barneybutter #todayfood #eeeats #thechalkboardeats #goopmake #jbfsummer #huffpostetaste Instead of a bouquet, I treated myself to these edible flowers & greens from the farmer's market yesterday. It's been quite a week & summer is finally here! The salad is thrown together with grated carrots, slivered almonds & fresh peas. It was lightly dressed with a lemon, honey & orange blossom vinaigrette because those flowers are the 🌟of the show. Happy Friday everyone 🌼🌻🌸 #feedfeed #f52farmstand #cagrown #tastingtable #saveur #coloryourplate #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #cookit #buzzfeedfood #eatprettythings #howisummer #esfgrams #eattheseasons #honestcooking #northberkeleyfarmersmarket #eatingwelleats #thekitchn #eeeats #forkfeed #foodblogfeed #healthyfoodshare #eastbaynosh #eastbayeats #todayfood #jbfsummer #rslove This happened yesterday because it was a lazy Sunday morning 🎉Blueberry muffins made with a combination of sprouted spelt & almond flour. Flavored with vanilla, ground ginger & lemon zest. Lightly sweetened with turbinado sugar. My favorite muffins to make during blueberry season because those jammy pockets & golden tops are soo good. Dairy-free recipe is in the blog archives under blueberry almond muffins.

My dear friend Monica just graduated from @baumancollege culinary school & instead of receiving a gift, she brought me this delicious liquid gold & scoby 🎉🎉💛I couldn't resist taking a picture & sharing. I'm so proud of my sweet friend & I look forward to learning how to make this at home with her very soon. Hopefully I can share the process with y'all too 👍 Anyone else make kombucha at home? Any tips for newbies? Happy Friday everyone! #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #cookit #gloobyfood #tastingtable #eeats #thekitchn #buzzfeedhealth #kombucha #guthealth #thenewhealthy #paleoeats #eatingwithhealthmag #baumancollege #foodandwine #progressivenectar #eatonhealth #thrivemags #huffpostetaste #healthyfoodshare #cookcl #foods4thought #honestcooking #spoonfeed It was all about sprinkles and more sprinkles this past weekend 🎉🎉The hubs & I threw a belated birthday party for my sweet 10 year old monkey. Seven big girls and two little girls out on the deck making sushi & celebrating with these vegan chocolate cupcakes. The ganache on top was made by heating a 1/4 cup (culinary) coconut milk until it almost reaches a boil & pour over 4 ounces of @enjoylifefoods mini chips. Whisk it up and dip tops in ganache. It's a delicious insta- topping & less messy than frosting. The cupcake recipe is adapted from the book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" by Moskowitz & Romero. It's like this 😋🌟😋. You can also google vegan chocolate cupcakes on @chowhound to find it online. I used avocado oil & coconut milk for the adjustments 👍 Happy Wednesday sweet friends! #feedfeed #marthabakes #chowhound #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #cookit #baking #gloobyfood #realfoodforkids #tastingtable #thekitchn #eeeats #todayfood #bakefeed #imsomartha #recipeoftheday #foodgawker #buzzfeedhealth #thenewhealthy #healthyfoodshare #enjoylifefoods #sodelicious #rodellevanilla Although it's been a short week, I am ready for Friday, how about you? 🎉🎉❤ I had some of my cilantro garlic chutney paste stashed in the freezer( I freeze them in ice cube trays), they needed to be used up so I defrosted and added yogurt, a squeeze of lemon, sumac & some chive blossoms on top for an Insta- dip 😘Here it's paired with all of my favorite veggies that needed to be used up from the week. The pita was on its last leg too so I cut it up & baked in the oven for about 10 min at 350 for extra crisp. The recipe for the cilantro chutney can be found on the blog under preserved goods. Enjoy sweet friends 💚 #goodeggseats #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #feedfeed #cookit #todayfood #gloobyfood #onmytable #honestcooking #buzzfeedhealth #eatingwelleats #tastingtable #foodstand #forkfeed #foodblogfeed #healthyfoodshare #eattherainbow #saveur #huffpostetaste #healthyaperture #thekitchn #cookcl #nowaste #cuisinesworld #betterbutter #vegetarianfoodshare Here's my avocado toast today. Remember the kumquat achaar(spicy kumquat pickles) from a while back? After fermenting for thirty days - they are done 👏. I love to eat them as a condiment with Indian food but one of my favorite non- traditional ways of eating is on avocado toast, a suggestion long ago by a very dear friend of mine 👏😘I usually make a mango chutney but haven't gotten around to it just yet. Here it's paired with mango stars, fresh peas and mint. I also served it with some smoked salmon( not shown). It's a bit spicy, sweet & bitter all mixed up in one bite 💛 #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #buzzfeedhealth #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #tastingtable #progressivenectar #gloobyfood #esfgrams #thenewhealthy #healthyfoodshare #saveur #spoonfeed #fravorites #thekitchn #guthealth #eatonhealth #spoonfeed #thrivemags #eeeats #todayfood #honestcooking #betterbutter #preservedfood #cuisinesworld Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend. I caught up on baking projects like this simple bowl of granola with fresh berries. The oats are made with a mix of coconut & olive oil, quinoa flakes, pumpkin & sunflower seeds, almonds, puffed rice cereal, buckwheat groats, coconut flakes & a little oat flour- pretty much everything I had in my cupboards 👏Sweetened with maple syrup, cinnamon & vanilla. Let's do this Tuesday 💪❤ #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #cookit #buzzfeedhealth #gloobyfood #esfgrams #realfoodforkids #foodstand #honestcooking #thenewhealthy #goopmake #tastingtable #todayfood #apronsquad #eeeats #thekitchn #fravorites #eatprettythings #cookcl #cagrown #huffpostetaste #eatonhealth #healthyfoodshare #progressivenectar #healthfoodedition I made these matcha-coconut 🍵 energy bites over the weekend. Made with dried figs, dates, almond flour, vanilla, coconut oil & coconut flakes. 😍💚 Rolled in honey powder & bee pollen from @oaktownspice. Still tweaking the recipe a bit but definitely a fun, tasty nibble. Recipe to follow soon. Also a thank you to my dear friend Maris @yogamaris for including me as a recipe contributor in her newsletter & a belated thank you for interviewing me for her blog. Maris is the sweetest, strongest, wisest young soul who also happens to be an amazing yogi. These are for you dear! #feedfeed #kitchenbowl #oaktownspice #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #tastingtable #cookit #gloobyfood #notrecipe #esfgrams #realfoodforkids #buzzfeedhealth #honestcooking #thenewhealthy #healthyaperture #foodblogfeed #goopmake #thekitchn #eatprettythings #cookcl #healthyfoodshare #eatonhealth #todayfood #fravorites #apronsquad #eeeats #jadeleafmatcha #barneybutter #huffpostetaste It's food allergy awareness week so I thought it was only fitting that I share with you my cannelinni bean dip. When my daughter, now 5, was diagnosed with life threatening food allergies at the age of 2, one of the foods we missed dearly was hummus( she is contact allergic to tahini). I was bound and determined to recreate something similar just in allergy-friendly form. I know I am definitely not alone. This recipe is slightly adapted from Jacques Pepin's book Heart & Soul. It is one of the reasons why I took a deep breath of courage & started my blog. I've never put anything out into cyberspace before but sharing recipes for those of us with dietary requirements just seemed like the right thing to do. This recipe is the one dish I offer to bring to any party (instead of hummus)so that my little girl can be safe. It's tasty too. Here it's topped w/ sunflower seeds, fresh cilantro & parsley, smoked paprika and EVOO. The recipe is in the blog archives under appetizers, snacks & beverages. I've updated it so that you can make it free from the top 8 allergens too 💙 thanks so much for reading sweet friends & giving me the gift of this space 🙏 #goodeggseats #kitchenbowl #organicmoments #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #nytimesfood #cookit #feedfeed #gloobyfood #esfgrams #realfoodforkids #foodstand #saveur #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #buzzfeedhealth #customeater #nomsy #thenewhealthy #eatingwelleats #honestcooking #bonappetit #huffpostetaste #goopmake #jacquespepin #healthyaperture #thrivemags I finally picked up some beautiful rhubarb at the market. I roasted it with strawberries, fresh thyme, vanilla bean, lemon, sugar & a tiny splash of rose water. It's tangy, sweet, chunky goodness. Makes a nice breakfast or snack swirled into coconut or greek yogurt. Make it into a parfait, serve atop pancakes or waffles too. If you want to spoil mom, surprise her & serve it for brunch this Sunday. Recipe is up on the blog now ☝️link attached in profile. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend ❤ #kitchenbowl #feedfeed #f52grams #bareaders #yahoofood #cookit #gloobyfood #onmytable #esfgrams #foodgawker #realfoodforkids #foodstand #tastingtable #buzzfeast #saveur #foodandwine #honestcooking #thenewhealthy #apronsquad #cagrown #cookcl #eatprettythings #spoonfeed #healthyfoodshare #fravorites #foods4thought #mywilliamssonoma #bbcgoodfood #todayfood #thekitchn
