February has been a month of many delicious new trials and some hot favorites. With the winter snow blanketing the ground, and the slushy, slippery streets to deal with, it has been a month of warm, cozy meals by the fireside, safely ensconced in the family home.
We started the month off with the
Goat Cheese Salad with Couscous - an easy and quick dish to put together when you are back home tired after a long day at work. Goat cheese gave this salad that gourmet touch, while the Kalamata Olives provided that tangy, salty taste. All in all, it was a healthy, low fat, and satisfying meal.
The
Brain food - Stir fried Curried Okra added that crisp, crunchy flavor to any meal. This accompaniment is the enticing pick-me-up to keep your family's intellect sharp and incisive. :)
If you ever needed to entice your taste buds and ensure that you have something at hand to smother over warm bread to make an easy meal, make the
Sweet Green Chili pickle. Stock your refrigerator with this pickle and you can lay your hands on a yummy meal in a snap.
For a replete Sunday lunch, after a day spent on the snowy slopes sledding with your children, make the
Radish Greens Stuffed Whole Wheat Bread. Serve with the Sweet Green Chili Pickle or with warm jam. Nothing like greens camouflaged in warm, homemade bread to welcome kids home from a long, rambunctious morning of play and fun!
Make the
Crisp, Curried Kovakkai, if your family is tired of the same ole' potatoes, peas and cauliflower. Watching your family down the vegetable without any proddding will be a reward in itself.
Fasting one day a week? Don't forget to take a swig of the
Fresh Homemade Vegetable and Fruit nectar to keep you alert and hydrated.
When the sweet tooth beckons, make this wonderful, healthy
Sugar Beet payasam. No trans-fat laden, unhealthy, artery-choking dessert for you and your family! Enjoy every sensation with healthy, wholesome ingredients!
Cold winds howling outside your window panes with sleet and snow bearing down? Eat this satisfying, sweet and spicy,
Sweet Potato Spicy Soup to warm the cockles of your heart.
There are days when you crave a delicacy and all you can think of is to visit the local ethnic restaurant for a meal. Resist that feeling and make this wonderful
Edamame and Green Onion Pilaf at home to assuage that craving.
And finally, round up your snack attack with this wonderfully healthy
Jicama Mint cutlets.

Jaya, thank you for all the tasty looking recipes! It does make a difference when to actually see what it is supposed to look like. And thank you very much for the link to your review of Slumdog Millionare. Now I really can't wait to see it. I want to send you a link as well, this is a site that I have on my favorites list. I am a history buff and I'm always hoping to learn more about India so I can teach my daughter about her fathers homeland. I hope you like it.
