This recipe is dear to my heart and very quick to make. So given that i had everything in my fridge to make this, it took me 30 mins :) mama used to make it in layers. Spaghetti first, then chicken, then béchamel sauce and cheese on top. I make the béchamel sauce after the chicken is cooked in the same saucer (frying pan). Ingredients: 1 chicken breast (cut into thin medium thin pieces 1 tsp garlic powder 3 tbsp olive oil 3 green chiles chopped Salt 1 tsp Pepper 1/2 tsp 1 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 1 1/2 cup of milk (depending on how saucy you want it) 2 tbsp sour cream 2/3 cup of shredded cheese 1/2 a bag of spaghetti (2.5 cups approx.) Method: Sauté chicken in olive oil and add garlic powder and salt on medium high. Cook until chicken gets little golden brown( 5-6 mins). While this happens boil water to cook spaghetti( i used gluten free spinach spaghetti). I break spaghetti in half so its easier to handle. Add green chiles and black pepper to chicken. Then add but...

I wanted to share a picture of my recent indulgence. This cake takes me back to childhood late Autumn evenings, where adults sipped Chai with delicious cake and us kids just gobbled the cake down. It also reminds me of my mums struggle on hot summer days to beat the cream into whipping cream and it still melted even with a double ice bath. Yes it takes time but just looking at it made all my hard work worth it and yes it is gluten free so i enjoyed every bit of it :)

                  This post is long over due and I wanted to share how happy I felt when I discovered glutenfree corn tortilla at my local safeway store. Make your way to the deli section and amidst many types of flour tortilla, you will find corn tortilla. As I found my canvas, it was time to find my paints. I have had beef tacos, chicken quesadilla but never ever tried fish tacos. My husband had tried them and was never satisfied with the taste of them at restaurants, so I decided to give it a go. We got Mahi Mahi fillets from costco; and avacados and red vine tomatoes from superstore. I started and we ate and they were delicious. If you are not a seafood fan and want to have fish in your diet, try this recipe. It has everything to brighten your tastebuds as well as your day. Ingredients: Fish 2 Mahi Mahi fish fillet (cubed) cumin    ...

This is currently my favourite spice blend that is perfect for marinating and grilling. It is smokey and has sugar that balances well with the saltiness of the spice mix. The smokiness of paprika add a perfect heat to your dishes.

Hi Readers,         Today I would like to share my story of how I found out that I had Celiac disease. I considered myself pretty healthy. I ate everything that my mom made at home and she did a wonderful job of balancing vegetables, meats, grains fruits, desserts. I was a thin child growing up but had a little bloated belly right where the intestines are. I started gaining weight when we moved to Syria and I was introduced to Tang and Kraft cream cheese spread when I was fourteen. I always loved eating rice with masala dishes or dry vegetable dishes. I loved eating tarka rice  (fried onions with spices), white rice with yogurt and biryani. I liked roti(bread) but with very few dishes like bhindi (Okra), Kerela (bitter melon) and Paye (Goat Feet curry). When I moved to Winnipeg, for University, I ate whatever I felt like eating. I avoided bread as much I could and started disliking pizzas, burgers and bread. I ate rice, poutine (best Canadian food ever ), ...
