[A super late post from NYE]

I frantically called my mom the afternoon of NYE asking for ideas to make an easy dip for a NYE party. I didn’t have much time to plan ahead because work kept me busy but mom came to the rescue! She saw this recipe on Show Me The Curry and she has made this a bunch of times. She adds her own twist to eat each time she makes it and its always super delicious. I guess I get my “I can’t follow a recipe” from her and how ironic that I have a recipe blog!

Anyway, this dip turned out delicious and only took me 20 minutes to put together. This is definitely a crowd pleaser…perfect for any party.

Zucchini-Spinach Lasagna

I fell in love with zucchini squash recently and I’ve been coming up with different ways to include them in my meals. This is my low carb lasagna where zucchini ribbons act as pasta. The end result ends up looking a bit messy but it tastes incredibly delicious!

Vegan Polenta Crusted Eggplant

"Eww...eggplant..so mushy...eww," said young Karishma. "Hmm...how can I make eggplant not so mushy," said "chef" Karishma.

I used to HATE eggplant as a kid. Whenever my mom made anything with eggplant, I used to pick it out because I didn't like the texture. But lately I've been giving it another chance and I actually don't mind it at all. I made this when my mother-in-law was in town back in April (yes, this is a very late post). She loves trying new things so this gave me an opportunity to create a new recipe.
