Hearty, low-carb, delicious pizza crust. Perfect with Indian toppings and chutneys! Parmesan is one of the cheeses that generally works with my lactose intolerance. This is why this crust is a hearty, low-carb, and delicious way to enjoy a pizza on any occasion that you are craving it. The topping options are endless, but my favorite way to garnish pizzas is with Indian toppings and chutneys. What's yours?

MediumLow-carb, super versatile, and perfect for meal prep during a busy week. I always like to throw in extra veggies I have on hand! The easiest tip to make these guilt-free is to use greek yogurt with all of the same seasonings to give that same sour-cream kick guilt-free! ⏱️ Total Time: 35 minutes

MediumCreamy, crispy mushroom filling topped with makhani sauce and cilantro! These croquettes were inspired by similar crab filled ones that I got at the Iberian Pig in Buckhead, Atlanta. Instead of using meat, I wanted to try a mushroom substitute to achieve the same creamy and crispy texture. Trust me, you won't even miss meat after trying these. To add to the fusion aspect of this dish, I topped it with fresh cilantro and a homemade makhani sauce! ⏱️ Total Time: 35 minutes

MildI made these super easy pancakes for breakfast last week with all of leftover blueberries I had in my fridge. Let me tell you, they turned out full of sweetness from the added sugar in the bananas along with a touch of honey that I put into my blueberry compote. I occasionally have a sweet tooth, and this definitely felt like a throwback to an IHOP breakfast that I used to get during the holidays on those chilly mornings. ⏱️ Total Time: 25 minutes

MildThis is a simple risotto made using fridge and pantry leftovers that I really needed to get rid of: tomato paste, half a lemon, risotto, and chicken broth. They came together beautifully! It's slightly rich because let's be honest - risotto always is, but it's also lightened up because I didn't add any heavy cream or butter. It's simply olive oil, onions, garlic, tomato paste, lemon, broth and risotto with some simple pantry spices that everyone usually has on hand! You're going to love it on a rainy, chilly, winter day. ⏱️ Total Time: 45 minutes

MildSavory breakfasts tend to keep me full and energized throughout the day. I always opt in for avocado and a soft boiled egg because it is just SO GOOD together. This recipe replaces my protein shake I usually take after a workout because I add the extra protein from Greek yogurt. The yogurt adds a tangy kick to the avocado toast, and you definitely will keep going back for this breakfast over and over again! Best part - it's super simple and you probably already have all of the ingredients in your fridge. Dress it up or keep it simple, it never disappoints. ⏱️ Total Time: 12 minutes

HotI love experimenting with dairy-free pasta sauces, and i've found that coconut milk is a great way to create a very similar texture to parmesan and cream. Trust me you won't miss the dairy in this recipe. I added my homemade hot sauce and a ton of chili flakes to this dish to make it extra spicy, but this dish can be made more mild as well if that's what you prefer. I kept it simple with sliced red onions, grilled chicken breast, and lots of cilantro to garnish! ⏱️ Total Time: 40 minutes 🌶

MildI'm not a huge sweet breakfast person in general, but i'm telling you these pancakes are just the right amount of sweet, warm, and comforting during the chilly autumn mornings. I use a base of cassava/oat flour and blend it with bananas, honey, cardamom, and almond milk. It's topped with a delicious honey greek yogurt, almond butter, and lots of walnuts. ⏱️ Total Time: 25 minutes

MediumMany road trips later, here I am making my spicy twist on the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. To make it even better I served this delicious juicy chicken sandwich with a masala and lime corn chaat that adds all of the right zesty notes to this burger. I tend not to fry any of my food, so this recipe is definitely for those craving CFA without all of the extra greasiness of a fried dish. ⏱️ Total Time: 35 minutes

MediumSadly, this is another staple item Taco Bell is getting rid of, but you can make it at home! All you really need are the TB hot sauce packets to make this recipe feel like you got it from the drive through next door. I made this tostada pizza slightly healthier by using an air-fried corn tortilla for a one-layer pizza, lots of freshly chopped veggies, and greek yogurt as a sour cream alternative. I hope you love this as much as I do! ⏱️ Total Time: 50 minutes

HotIf you haven't been to Dumpling Time in San Francisco, you really do need to go! It's definitely not the most vegetarian-friendly place, but the small number of veg options they do have are outstanding! I have adapted a few of their menu items to my taste AKA made them more spicy for all of you to try! These dumplings have all of the ingredients in the original dish, but I also added two types of mushrooms to make the texture more meaty in nature. Trust me even if you're not the biggest mushroom lover, you will be able to eat so many of these in one sitting. ⏱️ Total Time: 50 minutes

MildWhenever I buy herbs for one dish, I always have leftovers that end up going bad and it makes me wonder why I can't just incorporate new herbs into dishes that I already make. For this recipe, I revamped the traditional pesto by using Thai basil and kale in order to up the greens, but also bring a unique flavor profile into the dish. This pesto pasta can be served hot or cold, and pair SO well with fresh, juicy cherry tomatoes! ⏱️ Total Time: 30 minutes

MediumTaco Tuesday is here! I am obsessed with my air-fryer as most of you probably already know, so I decided to create yet another crispy creation in it. This recipe basically consists of adult chicken nuggets, green mint & cilantro chutney, and fresh guacamole. It's tangy, spicy, refreshing, and delicious. You can always sub the chicken with mushrooms, cauliflower, fish, or shrimp depending on what you love in your tacos! ⏱️ Total Time: 35 minutes

HotI looked to Taco Bell this time to inspire my Keema Quesarito. YES - it is a quesadilla with spicy keema (minced meat), cilantro rice, sour cream, and a whole lot of queso. I would essentially call this a MUCH healthier and tastier version of the Taco Bell classic. For some, this might be another meal prep classic. You can transform the ingredients into a delicious bowl or enjoy it as a quesadilla! ⏱️ Total Time: 50 minutes

MediumUse this easy plant-based queso as a unique and delicious alternative to a traditional dairy-based dip. This recipe is filled with veggies, and tastes just as delicious as any other cheesy dip. I use this as a base for a TON of Mexican dishes that I make, but it also tastes good on its own with a huge bowl of tortillas chips! Total Time: 40 minutes

MediumWho knew adding Indian spices to your falafel mix would make them more indulgent and delicious, at least for the Indian palette. These falafels are quite possibly the most healthy and nutritious protein sources that you can eat as a snack or as a full meal. I personally enjoy mezze plates whenever I go out to eat to a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern restaurant because you get to try a wide variety of new dishes. For this mezze, I combined garlic and red pepper hummus, harissa, garlic feta dip, fresh parsley, lettuce, red onion, and tomato. This is perfect to serve with fresh pita (highly recommended) or any tortillas you need to use up in the fridge. It is also a really great way to have a unique family meal, and to get the family involved in cooking! Bonus excitement: these are vegan and gluten free! (unfortunately the garlic feta dip is not, but it's SO GOOD). ⏱️Total Time: 45 minutes

HotThis one is inspired by a local Oakland restaurant called Hawking Bird. They have really amazing tofu and chicken bowls, salads, and sandwiches. There is just something super comforting about crunchy tofu with sticky jasmine rice and a spicy chili glaze. This is a meal prep staple that you can prep on a Sunday night. Best part is that you can really use any protein you love as long as you make sure you have all of the fresh herbs to bring out the aromas in this dish. ⏱️ Total Time: 50 minutes

HotI can't wait for you guys to try this buffalo chicken mac inspired by the infamous Homeroom in Oakland, California. They have some incredible mac & cheese dishes with super unique flavors, and this recipe serves as a great base for all types of add-ins. I made this recipe dairy-free for the base, and topped it with a greek yogurt ranch from Ambitious Kitchen. Highly recommend with Frank's Hot Sauce and a TON of black pepper. ⏱️ Total Time: 35 minutes

MildThe best Summer activity in San Francisco is going to Dolores Park, grabbing a bit to eat on Valencia Street, and taking it to the park with some wine. Depending on my mood, I usually go for a good grilled chicken burrito or a delicious pizza, and of course - Flour and Water always does a good job with everything on their menu. This time, I tried the pepperoni pizza with ranch; however, you can always change up the toppings to make this pizza your own. My crust is inspired by the King Arthur Flour Neopolitan Crust Recipe with a couple of modifications. *Keep in mind - the dough in this recipe does need to rest for at least 12 hours, but once it is made, the pizza is very simple to put together. ⏱️ Total Time: 24 minutes

MildThis recipe is inspired by this amazing Casbah salad I had at a deli in San Francisco called Blue Barn. Anytime I see crispy chickpeas in a salad, I always get excited because it's just something I never put in the effort to make at home. I also realized because this salad has so many elements that can be stored easily in my pantry and fridge, it's going to become a meal prep staple for my busy work days at home. It contains delicious beets, fresh feta, pistachios, couscous, and a honey-turmeric vinaigrette that packs a punch. Salads don't always have to have meat to be filling, delicious, and healthy! ⏱️ Total Time: 70 minutes

HotThis recipe contains my fresh green curry paste as well as how I use the paste to make green curry with coconut milk. Please look at all of the options you have in terms of proteins, veggies and grains so you can adjust this recipe to your preferences. Also - if you don't have the time/ingredients to create the fresh curry paste, you can use the second portion of this recipe to use a store-bought curry paste in the same type of coconut curry. A couple years ago, I stumbled upon a delicious Burmese dish called Khao Suey, and got extremely curious as to how so much flavor could be packed into one soup. I experimented a little bit and came up with a great Khao Suey Paste recipe filled with garlic, ginger, chilis, and so many whole spices that I had at home. This recipe almost felt like a fusion of Thai and Indian food! After making this recipe so many times, I decided to infuse the curry paste with my favorite Thai dish - Green Curry! This recipe has a ton of wonderful aromas and spices that make coconut curry super flavorful and spicy. Best part: it's extremely versatile. You can make it with meats, veggies, seafood, or simply noodles/rice. ⏱️ Total Time: 50 minutes
