The twins and I read "Little Red Ruthie: A Hanukka

The twins and I read "Little Red Ruthie: A Hanukkah Tale" for the first time ever at bedtime yesterday & we loved it!❤️
A wonderful retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood", in which Ruthie outsmarts the wolf with her grandmother's latke recipe. The recipe for the latkes is at the end of the book - the twins were so excited to wake up & make them today, & they did not disappoint.
The illustrations by @sueeastlandillustration are fantastic!

This book was extra special for me as my middle name is Ruth.
I went by Ruthie during my high school years because Sadhna was difficult for others to spell & pronounce - and I just wanted to fit in.
It's a name dear to my heart as it’s my first born girl's middle name too, & many of my friends still call me Ruth or Ruthie.

Being a fan of wolves, I typically point out to the twins when we read fairy tales like this - in which the wolf is portrayed as the villain, how wonderful these creatures really are...and that this stuff is just silly stereotyping of a magnificent creature. Anyone else do the same?🐺❤️

So, are you team applesauce or sour cream for your latkes? I am team mango chutney, but we didn't have any left!🤣

Have a great night!

After eating with reckless abandon for 4 days (Tha

After eating with reckless abandon for 4 days (Thanksgiving, my birthday, & Hanukkah), it was nice to have a simple nutritious lunch for Meatless Monday. Moong dal with green bean & potato.🌱 I made it soupy-style with homemade chapati for dunking.
Dal soup is seasoned with ginger, turmeric, cumin & mustard seeds, hing (asafoetida), & fresh curry leaves. No onion or garlic.
A sprinkle of cilantro before serving elevated the flavor, as fresh herbs do.

Have you seen the @houseofguccimovie 🎬?
I watched it in the theater yesterday & loved it! @ladygaga was amazing!👏
@salmahayek plays a psychic in the film - love her, & did not know that her husband is the current owner of @gucci 💃🏻
@tomford on @airmailweekly says of the film, “I was deeply sad for several days after watching House of Gucci, a reaction that I think only those of us who knew the players and the play will feel.”
Even though I myself had no relation to the players, I too am haunted by the sadness of the whole history. Go check it out & let me know how you feel!

Have a festive & happy week ahead folks!
Happy Hanukkah to all who are celebrating!💙

Happy Monday folks!😊 All I can think about is

Happy Monday folks!😊

All I can think about is Thanksgiving dinner right now, anyone else?
We eat a lot of Indian food over here, but Thanksgiving really brings out my southern (Kentucky) side!

I couldn’t wait until Thursday for mashed potatoes, so I decided to make a cauliflower/potato mash for Meatless Monday. I like to think of it as a one-bowl meal, don’t judge.🤣

I used the florets from a whole head of cauliflower & eyeballed about the same amount of potatoes - both from my @farmfreshtoyou box.💚
I cooked them together in a big pot with vegetable broth, water, and salt until tender. Drained them, & then whipped them up in my stand mixer - with ridiculous amounts of @earthbalance & a whole container of @kitehillfoods chive cream cheese with a splash of full fat Oatly.
They turned out so damn good!🌱

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving vegetable dish?

Temps took a dive here in SoCal this week, we went down into the 70’s - which feels like freezing to me after 90’s last week!😂

It was time for comfort food & a big bowl of creamy mixed veg curry hit the spot!
Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes, cilantro, ginger…lots of good stuff, all from my @farmfreshtoyou box. I added spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and full fat coconut milk - flavor bomb. So good, and so good for you!

Twins (8 yrs) & I made zucchini bread for chai time, they thought the batter looked “kinda gross”.😂 Anyhoo, you can’t taste the zucchini, it just makes the bread super moist & tender. I added the chocolate chips because...well, chocolate. Goooood stuff!

We have arrived at the halfway point in our week folks. How are you doing? I’m feeling like “my get up and go, musta got up and went” - can you feel me?

Counting the hours until my head hits the pillow with my Kindle in hand.🤪

Khichdi/Kitchari with beet greens for #turmerictue

Khichdi/Kitchari with beet greens for #turmerictuesday
So nourishing, creamy, & delicious!
The greens from the tops of two beets was the perfect amount for the khichdi recipe that is up on my blog.

Beet greens are high in iron & fiber, taste (and look) a lot like Swiss chard, and cook up so soft & tender. Good stuff!

Sweet dreams friends!😴

Meatless Monday dinner was a simple Fall pesto.🌱
The twins helped me make this one, it’s so easy & delicious.
We had some gorgeous kale & basil, along with lemons in our @farmfreshtoyou box order & when I saw them I immediately knew the kiddos would love to make some pesto.
The freshness of the kale & basil really shine through & make this humble dish something spectacular.
To make the pesto we used kale (ribs removed - just the leaves), basil, garlic, fresh lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast (& you can use parm too if you eat dairy), black pepper, salt and a few glugs of olive oil.
To finish off the dish,
I added a dollop of @kitehillfoods ricotta, drizzled it with olive oil & sprinkled on some red chili flakes & black pepper.
Good stuff!🌱
Kale packs a fiber punch which is so good for our gut health - I love finding tasty ways to sneak it into dishes whenever I can.
