Swai is a fish native to South Asia. It is a great source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids and low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Swai is great for people on a budget as it is not expensive and can be found at your local grocery store. For this recipe, you can substitute any other white flaky fish if do not have this specific one.
The best part about this recipe is it takes only about 15 min to make. It super easy. You can also make the sauce and refrigerate it until you are ready to make it.
For all you breastfeeding mamas here is an interesting fact about how your baby digests your milk. Usually fats are broken down in our body in the small intestine with the help of bile, which is released from the pancreas. However, in newborn babies, pancreatic activity is still not developed fully. Instead, babies are able to digest the fat globules in the milk in their mouth with the help of lingual lipase.
I have had this recipe for such a long time that I don’t even remember where I got it from. It is one of my favorite deserts because it is so light and fresh at the same time.
The thing I love the most about heirloom tomatoes is the colors. You get a range of yellows to purple to almost pink and sometimes greens. Plus it doesn’t hurt that they are so full of flavor.
One of the most frequent conversations I have with people is a mutual frustration that the FDA does not require special testing, regulations or labeling of genetically modified foods.

When you are shopping for produce, you will notice a code written on each fruit/vegetable.This is the code that your grocer will type in or scan at the cash register.
This salad is one of my favorite midday snacks. It has all my favorites-chickpeas, cilantro, olive oil- Arab much? Its super easy to make and LOADED with nutrients. So not only does the cilantro flush out toxins from your body, but the chick peas are loaded with protein and fiber and are a great source of the “right kind of carbs” for diabetics! Say whaaaat?! there’s more
Where would we be without farmers markets? Without them we would buying all our fruits and vegetables under artificial lights listening to instrumentals of 80′s songs and the ping-ping of people checking out all the time. Which is not ideal. What is ideal is talking to local farmers and learning straight from them the best way to store and prepare the produce you are buying.
After months and months of thinking about this blog, I have finally decided to make it happen. This morning, the weather was gorgeous and the sunlight coming in through the windows was divine and I thought that there couldn’t be a more perfect morning to make my first post.
