Oh my goodness 2016 is basically over. In a few days, we’ll be celebrating the New Year: 2017 style. You guys. For most of the world, 2016 has been a crazy and chaotic year. But in my little corner of the world that I call “Ashley’s place,” 2016 was filled with blessings. Our biggest blessing: my son. We welcomed him to the world in September. Before I share the top 10 recipes from this past year (according to my google analytics), I want to say THANK YOU....

Red Potato Salad I want to say that I’d take this potato salad over a classic mayonnaise version any day, and right now I would. But I firmly believe there’s a place in this world for both. So I’ll trumpet this one as a great alternative potato salad for all those times when you want something a little different, with a little wow factor: tasty bacon bits, charry golden pops of sweet corn, all dressed with a mildly zingy cider vinegar dressing....

Warning. This drink is going to ruin all other varieties of lemonade for you. Love regular lemonade? Think pink lemonade is exciting? This Shikanjvi laughs at all its lemon drink competitors. HA. (Gosh, now that I think about it, Shikanji is a bit arrogant. I guess it can be, though, because it’s so remarkably refreshing and delicious… and it knows it 🤷🏽‍♀️🍋 ). Really though, as soon as you take a sip of this Indian spiced lemonade, you’ll never want to go back to lemonade sans spices....

A lot of people compare kheer to rice pudding, but I think they’re totally different. Kheer is so much better. The ghee and the cardamom give kheer a completely different flavor. Now that I no longer eat dairy or gluten, I decided to attempt a Paleo Kheer using spaghetti squash strands in place of vermicelli and coconut milk in place of regular milk. It was so good – truly. Rob can vouch for me....

To make this recipe, add the beef roast, onions, garlic, serrano pepper, organic diced tomatoes, and spices to a crockpot. Several hours later – the meat will be falling off the bone. Shred-it with two forks, place some on a piece of romaine lettuce, top it with a tomato and eat it like a taco. The great thing about shredded beef is that there’s a lot of surface area, and so all the tasty spices can better coat and cling to the meat....

Magic super low calorie creamy Vegetable Soup! Though my recipe feed doesn’t exactly scream “healthy eating” by any stretch of the imagination, the more discerning may have noticed that most of my dinner recipes actually have a sensible level of calories. I don’t often cook with cream. I control my use of butter (sometimes reluctantly). And I am pretty sure I can count the deep fried recipes on this blog on one hand....

I have seen in many of my friend’s place they make this sweet pidi kozhukattai for Ganesh Chaturthi | Pillayar Chaturthi. Amma never makes this at home. I wanted to post this sweet pidi kozhukattai recipe for the past few years but some how couldn’t do that. Finally tried this last week but somehow it turned out dry. Later spoke with few friends and they told the tips and tricks to make soft kozhukattai....

This is how to make sweetened condensed milk caramel: Place sealed cans of sweetened condensed milk in slow cooker, fill slow cooker with water, slow cook on low for 8 hours. Output: Perfectly smooth, no stir, thick, deep flavoured caramel sauce. It’s incredible! Sweetened Condensed Milk Caramel “This keeps for a month in the fridge. But it won’t last that long.” Dulce De Leche. Smooth, rich and thick with a deep caramel flavor, this South American export is the king of all caramels....

Excellent use of portobello and BBQ Flat Mushrooms. Can’t find giant mushrooms? These are amazing made with small mushrooms too! Swiss Mushroom Burgers I love a good burger – and I don’t discriminate between meat and vegetarian as long as they tick all my Burger Boxes: juicy; meaty; satisfying; and you get burger pattie in every bite and not just bread. It’s so disappointing when you get a giant hamburger bun with a tiny burger pattie inside....

No, I’m not from Texas nor am I a chili connoisseur (that’s a thing, right?)… BUT this recipe is from my friend Jennifer, who’s a true southern gal and knows her stuff. This flavorful and comforting Texas Slow Cooker Beef Chili is from her new cookbook, Down South Paleo. I have to tell you how much Roby and I loved this meaty meal! It’s a hearty chili that’s packed with ground beef, fresh vegetables and savory spices....

I am a big fan of homemade tomato thokku. When i was casually talking with a friend in Chennai, she was telling tomatoes were in season and they are getting nice red tomatoes. So I decided to make tomato pickle | Thakkali oorugai recipe. It turned out so well and I am enjoying this pickle for my dosa, idli , parathas, upmas , curd rice, sambar sadam …. Make it today and enjoy it for a month....

Oh my goodness, this paleo-friendly fettuccine alfredo is incredible. I honestly can’t believe that this is a cheese-free recipe! I used wild-caught canned tuna as my protein in this dish but the original recipe calls for lobster, which I’m sure is also amazing (I plan on trying it with lobster as soon as I can get some from my local grocery store!). This delicious recipe is from the new cookbook, Make it Paleo II, by Bill Stayley, Hayley Mason and Caitlin Grace Nagelson....

This uttapam sandwich recipe, Sandwich uttapam turned out to be a super hit at my home. If you are not getting bread during this lockdown period, try this sandwich without using bread. I made the same filling which I used for the Bangalore Iyengar bakery style Masala sandwich recipe. I have given variations in the notes section, please check that out at the end of the post. Sandwich uttapam In a pan add 3 tsp oil and add the finely chopped onions....

We usually make Mor kuzhambu by soaking little dal and use green chilis for grinding. This is a different style of mor kuzhambu which I learned from my friend Banu. A few days back, during our evening walk, she was telling me that she made Mor kuzhambu and sevai for dinner. She also shared this simple mor kuzhambu recipe, which her mother-in-law makes whenever they make sevai at home. My amma always make sevai, the one using traditional sevai nazhi, Mor kuzhambu and fried appalam combo....
