Some #meatlessmonday inspo for my insta fam This plate has protein fibre carbs and tastes so good that you won't regret missing out on the meats😁 Clockwise from top Red lentil curry with a dollop for greek yogurt Green beans sauteed in chillies and turmeric Whole wheat roti Diced cucumber A tiny spoon of #achaar i.e. mixed veggie pickle And a small piece of #Samosa from @haldiraminternational This is not really a weight loss or low calorie meal but it definitely is healthy and will fill you up for the day! . . . . . #indianfood #desifood #homecookedmeal #vegetarianfood #lentils #freshveggies #Samosa #roti #salads #pickles #myhappyplace #buzzfeast #buzzeats #chicagogrammers #chicagofoodie #whatsonmyplate #thali #chicagoblogger #igers #foodpicoftheday #mumbaifoodbloggers #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #myfoodietrails #madeinindia #myfoodiekitchen

Hours were spent on calls to my mum to get the instructions right, more time was spent on sourcing the best ingredients miles away from #Mumbai and then it took some more hours of slow roasting, careful temperature checking and occasionally chasing away Bruno🐶 who couldn't resist the aroma of #amulghee which eventually resulted in me being successful in making this lovely (a little out of shape) Ladoo ...which will be one of the few sweets I'll be making this #Diwali It is always difficult to be far away from home on a festive occasion..so these sweets are a small effort to make up for the moments missed out and to bring in the festival of lights in our little space❤ watch out this space for more such festive stories! Also (if you have read this far then thank you 😊❤) and im trying to use this festive occasion to get back on Instagram and try and post more often! . . . . . . #diwali2019 #festiveseason #diwaliinusa #faral #ladoo #ravaladoo #goodvibesonly #foodpicoftheday #foodblogger #foodielife #buzzfeast #chicagoblogger #igers #igchicago #indianblogger #ladyblogger #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #myfoodietrails

Brunch scenes today at @georgesofoakpark We have been visiting them regularly since early this year and everything we try impresses us! I tried this lovely Greek styled broiled chicken served with tangy greek rice, pita, potatoes and a side of lentil soup! It is a good carb and protein loaded brunch for my hike later in the day😄 I look forward to keeping on visiting Georges and sharing more pictures with you guys!❤ . . . . . . #georgesofoakpark #brunch #brunchscenes #brunchesofinstagram #foodpicoftheday #breakfastessentials #breakfastscenes #oakparkil #oakparkfoodie #chicagogrammers #chicagofoodie #bestfoodchicago #yelpchicago #buzzfeast #cameraeatsfirst #eatingfortheinsta #soulfood #comfortfood #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #myfoodietrails

This week my #sundaybreakfaststories features the humble #pao or bread from the state of #Goa on the western coast of India Known to be a coastal state this puffy freshly baked bread is made early in the morning and sold from two wheelers door to door. We bought this from a seller near our bnb it was still warm from the oven, soft and fresh! Dunk it in coffee or have it with eggs or just by itself it is equally delightful 😊 Such is the pleasure of simple local food! . . . . . . #sundaymood #foodstories #myfoodiestories #breakfastessentials #whatsonmyplate #whatsonmytable #breakfastspread #eatlocal #localfood #hiddengems #goanfood #freshfood #foodielife #foodpicoftheday #indianblogger #indianinoakpark #indianinchicago #indianfood #myfoodietrails

We started summer holidays this year with short day trips in and around the city. One such trip was to escape the hustle bustle of the city to Anderson Japanese Gardens at Rockford Illinois. Located around an hour and half away from Chicago these serene gardens transport you into a quiet and peaceful world. You can simply stroll through them, enjoy the natural beauty or simply pick a spot by the waterfall and relax...nothing can be more rejuvenating than the peaceful sounds of flowing water💕 More such info on day trips coming soon! . . . . . . . . . . . #summertime #summer2019 #summerinchicago #thingstodoinchicago #thingstodoinchicagowithkids #daytrips #daytripper #longdrive #rockford #rockfordillinois #andersonjapanesegardens #japanesegarden #peace #happiness #waterfalls #green greenery #traveljournal #travelogue #myfoodietrails #mytraveljournal
