Keto / Paleo Pizza | Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Today's recipe is one of the amazing recipes which I bumped into, after embarking on this Keto journey in 2017. It all started with me reading about Paleo Diet on Gayathri's blog, which claimed to be one of best Diet plans to lose weight, especially within short period of time.Her write-up was just enough to trigger a spark in me and spent the whole year reading and exploring a lot about Nutrition and Low Carb diets and how they work. I should say, I was on a roll and nothing could stop me. Oh man, it worked like a miracle. I could discover a NEW ME which I had not even dreamt in life. Losing oodles of kgs and more than that,so many inches, on a sustainable Diet plan was fantastic. Would share more about my Keto journey in coming days, maybe as a separate series.. 

Coming back to the recipe, it is one recipe which I never expected to turn out so well. Many recipes shared for Keto or Paleo diet are based on Cauliflower. It is swapped mainly with Potato to make a Low-Carb food which originally is high in Carbs. Cauliflower Rice is doing the rounds in the Diet world. In the same way, this Cauliflower Crust Pizza turns out really so well and definitely a perfect replacement to regular Pizza. Best thing is my kids loved it so much and I have done this Keto Pizza a few times already. Come, let enjoy a guilt-free Pizza.

Healthy Plantain Chips | Vazhakkai Chips, Baked Version

This week, I would be sharing some healthy / Diet-specific Recipes under New Year Challenge. I had long back started cutting junk food and all things unhealthy for my kids from Cornflakes to white sugar to deep-fried snacks. I replaced Deep-fried ones with either baked or Shallow fried version using Appe pan. This crispy, flavourful Raw Banana Chips is one such recipe which is very healthy, yet so addictive. It uses very little oil and within minutes, comes out perfectly crispy, just like its deep-fried counterpart. I stopped using Refined oils as well, so this Chips is made using Organic Cold-pressed Coconut Oil, which makes it even more flavourful and yummy.

Low fat Atta ka Sheera Recipe | Microwave Atta Halwa in 5mins

For Day 5 of this week's Low Calorie recipes, I would share an easy to make dessert recipe. Atta Sheera or Atta Halwa can be made healthy by reducing the sugar as well as replacing the ghee with Oil. I tried to cut down on the quantity of fats used but that did'nt affect the end result. The Atta sheera turned out so well and I was asked for the recipe by my friends who tasted this. This yummy dessert can be whipped up in just 5mins time..Microwave oven does the magic. Off to the recipe now!

Cream Of Cabbage Soup | Low - Calorie Cabbage Soup With Broccoli

Soups are our comfort food which also happen to be a healthy alternative for most weeknight dinners at home. For a quick and healthy dinner,I always resort to one of the easy soup recipes such as this Bean and Mixed Veg Soup which works with pretty much any combination of veggies and/or beans. Another family favourite is this creamy Cabbage soup which I love to include in our everyday menu as often as possible. Cabbage is a Powerfood which is low in calorie and high in fiber and it works wonders in aiding weight-loss and helps with lowering Blood pressure and Cholesterol. In this soup, onion and cabbage are blended with low-fat skimmed milk into a smooth puree and you'd swear it included cream. Even those of you who don't like the strong smell of cabbage would enjoy this. Spare an extra 5-7mins to top it with Broccoli bits which you sure would love to munch on while relishing the soup.

Vegan Pancake Recipe

Coming next on Tawa recipe series is a healthy, vegan Pancake made with Organic Wholewheat flour, almond milk and flax meal.

Since this Pancake is high in fiber and protein, it is likely to stick with you until lunch. Come, lets make some Pancakes now!
