Kitchari is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. This cozy, porridge-like dish is made with basmati rice and yellow moong dal, simmered with healing spices like turmeric, cumin, ginger, and black pepper. A staple in Ayurvedic cooking, it’s gentle on digestion and was my go-to during Panchakarma. I love packing it with veggies like zucchini, squash, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and spinach. For toppings, I reach for lime juice, cilantro, black sesame seeds, black lava salt, cashews, or a splash of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Nourishing, grounding, and endlessly customizable!

Maple Whiskey Candied Pecans (aka Bulliet Pecans)

These sweet, spicy candied pecans are irresistible—made with maple syrup, a touch of cayenne, and a splash of whiskey for a bold twist. I call them Bullet Pecans, thanks to the two tablespoons of whiskey I add before baking.

Perfectly crunchy with a sweet-savory kick, they’re great as a holiday snack, on-the-go treat, or a flavorful topping for yogurt. Customize with your favorite spices—fall-inspired or even a DIY everything seasoning. You really can’t go wrong!

I topped mine with sautéed spinach, avocado, sprouts, green onions, and furikake for the ultimate umami crunch. Bonus? It tastes even better the next day!

I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. This is my take on a healthier version of the classic morning glory muffin. While most bakeries offer these muffins—and they seem healthy thanks to the carrots—they’re often loaded with refined sugar and processed ingredients. Adding a vegetable doesn’t automatically make a pastry nutritious! So, I reimagined the recipe to be refined sugar-free and optionally gluten-free. I even snuck in an extra veggie: zucchini! Give my version a try and let me know what you think.
