Being healthy shouldn’t mean sacrificing flavor! This simple chicken and vegetable tray bake is great for a weeknight meal but fancy enough to serve at a dinner party. No need to stand at the stove and stir pot. The oven does all the work for you!

Thai Inspired Healthy Brownies (Gluten free, Paleo, Nut free, Refined sugar fee)
Thai herbs are the unusual chocolate pairings in these gluten free and paleo brownies that I’m really excited to share with you. They are light with a deep chocolate flavor and not overly sweet. The addition of thai herbs might be a surprising addition but in no way does it overwhelm you. I bet you’ve never had a brownie like this before!
Methi Paneer
Fenugreek leaves, also called Kasuri Methi, is an herb/ vegetable with a bitter but an addictive taste. I find myself adding it to everything from rice, to chicken and also rotis. People often like to mix methi with spinach to mellow out the bitterness. I am sharing a recipe where methi is used as a vegetable and to which paneer is added, and so the sweetness and richness of paneer also mellows out the bitterness of methi. This is a highly fragrant winter dish that goes beautifully with almost any indian bread-chapatis, naans, rotis or parathas or with some daal and rice.
Thai Chicken Laksa
Laksa is a popular noodle dish from south east Asia. There are many variations of this dish and each regions’ version has slightly different spices or ingredients. The one that I first had and adored was in a Thai restaurant. Ever since then, I have been an addict. So, here’s my version of chicken laksa with Thai flavors. It tastes delightfully refreshing and light, yet nurturing and filling at the same time.
Lemongrass Infused Clear Chicken Soup
You don’t feel like eating much when you are sniffling, sneezing and have sore throat. Drinking hot liquids is one of the thing that helps to relieve symptoms, move mucus and keep you hydrated. But a good bowl of salty soup can do wonders and make it easier to recover from flu symptoms by giving your body the energy and nutrients it needs to fight the cold. At such times, it’s quite handy to have broth at home. If it is homemade, then that’s well and good, if not even boxed broth is delicious to transform into healthy soups. This is a light, fresh and zesty soup with plenty of flavor. The slow cooked juices of lemon grass and ginger helps soothe the sore throat and warm you from inside. Lemon grass has a citrus flavor that goes really well with spicy ginger. The whole house smell fantastic and the best of all it is fast and easy to prepare.
Hope you like it!

Thai Green Chicken Curry
All through her summer break, my daughter bugged me to make thai chicken curry and when I made it she was not impressed. She said it looked unappetizing. I was a little disappointed but eventually, when she had it for dinner, her verdict changed and I couldn’t help saying to her to never ever judge a dish without tasting.
