Indian Puffed Rice Salad

The first time I tasted Bhel Puri salad was in an Indian restaurant in San Jose California many years ago. Someone at our table had ordered it as an appetizer.

Corn Curry Soup

20-Minute Coconut Curry Corn Soup

This week, we found some really cool fresh corn. It was multi-colored, not something you see very often. It was almost too beautiful to eat but got around to it eventually! While most of the corn produced is yellow, there are many more varieties like red, scarlet, pink, yellow, orange, magenta, bright blue, dark blue, […]

If you have seen the documentary “Seaspiracy”, you will appreciate doing your part in protecting the ocean by eating lower on […]
