steamed green beans
Lately, I have been working in the garden in the mornings. I found that the sun is softer, and the areas needing work are shadier. Early this morning, I picked some green beans to serve with Monday’s Pepper Rasam. Later that morning, I returned to the garden and started pottering around, feeding the plants with […]
Donna’s Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
On this day ten years ago, Donna and I posted our first combined post on ‘Goodnessis’, and with this in mind, we felt it was appropriate to share another, considering that we are currently spending family time together in Australia. As we live on opposite sides of the world, we always commit to meeting once […]

turmeric flavoured millet, amaranth & seasonal vegetables
I thought I would share this simple but extremely quick and easy nutritious meal I have most mornings. You will appreciate how easily the body digests it. It is my first meal at around 10 or 11 o’clock, depending on when I feel the first signs of hunger. I love these one-pot meals, which use […]
green pea & yellow dal coconut curry soup
in the spirit of change and acceptance feeling the need to be quiet and introverted, completely lost in my own meandering thoughts. I thought I woke up to rain this morning, but it was just the wind in the trees. GREEN PEA & YELLOW DAL COCONUT CURRY SOUP This soup thickens up, so you may […]
ghee
It’s wonderful and simple to make! Ghee is the most amazing substance. Melted, it pours like liquid gold. At room temperature, it is semi-soft and creamy. Ghee can be kept at room temperature for months and heated to frying temperatures without burning. It takes only moments of hands-on time to make at home. Ghee is […]
