Though my husband and I aren’t vegetarians, we eat meatless meals several times a week. We do this partially for health reasons, partially for cost reasons and partially because vegetables are so darn tasty. I’m also biased in favor of them because I think food should be attractive. Veggies are generally prettier than chicken breasts [...]

Indian Feast: Garlic Naan & Carrot-Coconut Salad
Indian food is still something I am experimenting with and learning about. Two of my favorite local Indian restaurants are Venky’s Spice House and The Banana Leaf. I might even get around to reviewing both of them someday. The great thing about these restaurants is that you get to sample fresh and authentic food that [...]
