Simple Paneer Vegetable Pizza with Italian Ghee

August 12, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This is an easy-to-make vegetarian pizza flavored with assorted pizza-loving veggies and our signature Italian Ghee (infused with rosemary, thyme and oregano). Paneer makes a great addition to pizza; it not only adds great flavor and good nutrition; it holds its shape beautifully!

Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes with Garlic Ghee

August 11, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

What a combo! Red skinned potatoes and garlic ghee – so delicious! You can make a meal off of these with a side of salad and/or green vegetables, or add some protein of choice – chicken, salmon, beef, or pork chops. Either way, you’ll love these yummy taters!

Ghee Roasted Chickpeas

August 11, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

These make a great snack or a fun addition to a meal. Try them over pizza, stuffed into pita, or served over rice or quinoa with a side of veggies.

Cardamom-Scented Fresh Orange Sherbet

August 6, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Creamy, cool and luscious! You’ll love this orange summer treat. For a non-dairy version, full-fat coconut milk can used in place of half and half or milk. Try this great recipe sprinkled with raw cacao nibs, frozen raspberries, dried coconut flakes, or any options of choice.

Green Bean and Tomato Bhaji

July 29, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Pair these wonderful green beans with a cooling raita or plain yogurt; serve hot with favorite bread/roti, paratha, or steamed basmati rice with protein of choice – legumes/daal, tofu, chicken, beef, etc.

Dal Makhani

July 25, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This wonderful Dal Makhani is rich, creamy, and packed with North Indian flavor. It’s a slow-cooked dish that tastes even better the next day! Enjoy with naan, tandoori roti or rice. It’s a perfect treat for friends and family.

Spiced Nuts in Garlic Ghee

July 23, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

These savory spiced nuts make a great, healthy snack for home and travel. Try them with fruit, yogurt or cottage cheese, chopped and added to cooked grains, or spread over jam on whole grain bread. Adjust seasonings according to personal taste. Remember: To preserve freshness and prevent rancidity, all roasted nuts should be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or the freezer for long-term storage.

Black Eyed Pea Salad

July 22, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Cumin, Coriander and Balti Curry season this delicious vegetarian black-eyed pea salad. The peas can be substituted with another legume if desired, and the amounts of vegetables and dressing ingredients can always be altered to personal preference. Enjoy this healthy salad with buttered crusty sourdough, or as a wrap. It’s wonderful served over baked potatoes or stuffed into pita pockets, too.

Chipotle Masala Rice with Tamarind

July 19, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This delicious basmati rice dish is seasoned with a unique masala made from dry-roasted smoked Chipotle Morita chili peppers. Tamarind, jaggery, ghee, and roasted peanuts round out the flavors. Serve this as a side dish, or as a main dish with added vegetables and protein of choice. You can reduce the heat (spiciness) of the masala by halving the chili pepper and removing the seeds before pan-toasting.

Tamarind-Ginger Grilled Chicken Thighs

July 17, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Tangy and slightly sweet, these finger-licking chicken thighs are so easy you’ll go back to them time and again. For the marinade, we’ve used A Date with Tamarind Chutney for a little sweetness, but feel to use straight tamarind paste if you prefer a stronger tart flavor. The tamarind-ginger marinade is also great with tofu, summer squash, onions, peppers, and sweet potato.

Easy Pad Thai

July 2, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

The main flavor in this well-known dish comes from the tamarind. Make sure you have the highest quality organic tamarind paste for the best flavor!   Print Recipe Easy Pad Thai Votes: 1 Rating: 2 You: Rate this recipe!

Natto Lunch Bowl with Sesame Dressing

June 24, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

This is more or less a DIY lunch bowl, simple and ideal for one person. It’s prepared with re-constituted natto and a delicious Japanese-style sauce. Choose any cooked grain or potato you like, along with favorite veggies, and your choice of protein. We’ve used curry-spiced tofu teriyaki (recipe below).
