Some pro-tips from someone in northeastern usa with food sensory issues AND cooks for both a small army of picky eaters & folks with different health risks:

Frozen onions are pre-diced and very, very easy to add into things. Unless someone has an allergy, I toss a handful of frozen onions (and garlic) into most of the dishes I cook. In thicker sauces & soups especially, they're very easy to sneak in.

Most squashes can be pureed and mixed into sauce! I like to use butternut squash especially (very popular donation to the food pantry so we always end up with a bunch) to mix into my stovetop mac'n'cheese sauce! Also another dish that you can freeze, though I will say that cubed squash (pumpkin especially~) is also really, really good when roasted with bacon, or when mixed into seasonal risotto.

Cauliflower! Cauliflower is a miracle veggie to me! You can dice it, rice it, mash it, use it as an alternative to pizza dough, and from personal experience it is absolutely delicious when breaded and deep fried.

Cucumbers! They go great with mint, watermelon, and are easy to sneak into sandwiches!

Kale & spinach are some greens that always are fairly popular with the crowd. For kale I like to either fry it up with some bacon, chicken, and pecans or dice it really fine to mix into soups. Spinach is very similar to that, but both are also good for salads. Kale has kind of a bitter- very mild!- taste to it and a bit more crunch; spinach is a little more bland & a bit softer (slightly longer to chew). Kale is also a good base for pesto. (I had so much kale from my garden last year; I had to get creative.)

Tomatoes are a hit-and-miss for me, so I've been getting more creative with them. I usually take canned tomatoes (homemade or store bought are both really good) and mix them into Hamburger Helpers (I'm poor and they're yummy), puree them for my own quick pasta sauce or salsa. I also love the smell of stewed tomatoes with mac'n'cheese but hated the texture; I found a recipe online that incorporates bell pepper slices and a slow simmer. I make them every time together.

Corn is very versatile. I personally love to make homemade cornbread (no idea how old our family recipe is), grill it, boil it, broil it, mix it into soups... I know there are more ideas out there, but I haven't tried them all yet.

Celery is one of those veggies I still can't quite get into, but it's always been good for soup: chunks into chicken pot pie, beef vegetable, pureed into a chilled celery soup on hot summer days, or even as a key ingredient in a veggie stock for meals later on.

Frozen berries! I know this thread is about veggies, but fruits & veggies kind of go hand-in-hand with this for me. Frozen berries can easily be added to ice cream, smoothies, cookies, or made into sauces & dressings for your rice, salads, & roasted meats. A few weeks back I used one bag of frozen blueberries to make a sauce that I put on chicken thighs, rice, and the rest went into a salad dressing. Plus they can be added to muffins, cereals, oatmeal, grits if you're willing to give it a go (maple syrup adds a little something-something too~)

Apples! I love apples; I can never stop thinking about how good apples are. They are very crunchy as they are and are very yummy raw, or drizzled with caramel, honey, baked into pies, grilled with brown sugar & cinnamon... Some of my personal favorites though are recipes where I slice them thin and incorporate them into my salads & sandwiches. Apple slices with cheddar cheese, apple butter, and cucumber slices on a cracker is divine for a midday snack, or apple slices with turkey, brie, and a little bit of honey toasted together (good place for some romaine lettuce too). My younger brother loves to grill up some slices of sausage with kale, apple, chive & onion cream cheese on toasted pieces of baguette.

Canned pears, peaches, and pineapple are always another option you can fall back on. I'm sure it's nowhere as good as the original, but I like to make sticky rice with pears as a dessert sometimes, and I've found the full sized canned pears are also good for making into a compote. Pineapple slices always add a little bit to a roast ham, and I love to heat up my peach slices in the microwave with a little cinnamon. They make easy snacks, too.

If you're like me and you have a phobia of produce going bad before you can finish it, I'd do a little digging into what you know you like to see if you could preserve it in some way.

Canned foods are usually fairly cheap (rinse several times before cooking to remove excess sodium!) and will stay good for several years.

Frozen fruits and veggies are often cut up in advance, which I can say from experience can save a LOT of time, and you don't need to use an entire bag in one go. I usually just do a handful or so at a time. Many also come with seasoning and can be cooked in the microwave!

If you, like me, rely on a food pantry, or even if you have to shop bulk, and tend to end up with a lot of fresh produce you don't think you can eat, it's worth the effort to set a day aside (if you can!) to figure out ways you can preserve it. I often spend my Saturday afternoons canning, dehydrating, and/or freezing what I know we can't use in the next week. I usually don't have a lot of spoons when I get home from work during the week, so any time I can save for myself cooking later is much better. (You can also freeze fresh herbs, cheeses, and meat!)

Getting into the habit of eating healthier can be a challenge, but it's worth trying to experiment and finding what sticks. In my case, it was eating mac'n'cheese baked inside a pumpkin & having my entire world view shift on me. Maybe it'll be something as simple as eating an apple slice drizzled with honey, or trying a different cheese on some leafy greens. You just have to find what works for you, and be patient with it.

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

What goes in an Indian Tiffin?

An Indian tiffin is a meal container packed with a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes that are both nutritious and delicious. A staple of daily Indian life, it typically includes a balanced mix of grains, vegetables, proteins, and snacks, making it ideal for lunch.

A tiffin service near me provides freshly prepared meals, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, delivered daily for convenience and taste.

Here’s a closer look at what often goes into an Indian tiffin.

1. Main Dish

Most tiffins start with a main dish like rice or Indian breads such as roti or paratha. Rice is often accompanied by dals (lentils) or vegetable curries, while rotis are paired with sabzis (vegetable dishes). Dishes like paneer curry, aloo gobi (potato and cauliflower), or chana masala (chickpea curry) are popular choices for their hearty flavors and balanced nutrition.

A typical tiffin menu includes roti, rice, dal, vegetable curry, salad, yogurt, and a small dessert for balanced nutrition.

2. Side Dishes

Indian tiffins frequently include side dishes to complement the main course. These could be dry vegetable stir-fries like bhindi (okra), baingan (eggplant), or a potato-based dish. Small portions of pickles, chutneys, or raitas (yogurt-based sides) add a burst of flavor and freshness. Raitas, made from yogurt and cucumbers or carrots, are cooling accompaniments perfect for balancing spicy dishes.

Food service Slough offers diverse options, from local eateries to catering and delivery, providing fresh, convenient meals for all tastes.

3. Protein-Rich Additions

Protein is an important part of a balanced Indian meal. Lentils, beans, chickpeas, or paneer (Indian cottage cheese) are common sources, especially for vegetarian meals. Dishes like rajma (kidney beans) or dal fry make satisfying, protein-packed additions.

A vegetarian tiffin service near me offers fresh, plant-based Indian meals delivered daily, featuring dishes like dal, roti, rice, and vegetables.

4. Salad and Fresh Vegetables

A small portion of fresh salad, usually with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and sometimes carrots or beets, is also included.

A Punjabi tiffin service near me delivers authentic meals daily, including favourites like butter chicken, chole, paneer, roti, and rice.

5. Sweet Treat

To finish the meal, many tiffins include a small dessert like a piece of mithai (Indian sweet) or a few slices of fruit. This sweet touch can include treats like laddoo, barfi, or seasonal fruits. A tiffin meal provides a balanced, homemade Indian lunch with essentials like rice, roti, dal, vegetables, and a small dessert.

6. Snacks

Sometimes, Indian tiffins come with crispy snacks like papad or a handful of roasted nuts for an added crunch.

Packed with variety and flavor, an Indian tiffin is more than just lunch — it’s a wholesome, fulfilling experience in every bite. A tiffin Indian lunch box includes a balanced meal with rice, roti, dal, vegetables, and sometimes a small dessert.

Tiffin delivery brings fresh, home-cooked Indian meals directly to your doorstep daily, offering a convenient and nutritious meal option.

Meals vary each day to provide diversity, with some services offering customized menus to cater to dietary preferences and restrictions. A Gujarati tiffin service near me offers traditional meals featuring dishes like dhokla, khichdi, rotla, and various flavorful curries delivered fresh daily.

The Appeal of Tiffin Services

Indian tiffin services are valued for their affordability, convenience, and quality. Unlike fast food, these meals are typically made from fresh ingredients with minimal preservatives, delivering nutritious, homemade meals that evoke the flavors of traditional Indian cooking.

Indian Thali Set at Everest Tandoori Kitchen

Components of an Indian Thali Food

1. Lentils: Lentils, or dal, are essential in the Indian thali at Everest Tandoori. Dal is made from lentils like yellow split peas, red lentils, or black gram. Cooked with spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala, it is a nutritious and flavorful dish. Garlic, ginger, and tomatoes often enhance the flavor. It’s a comforting and protein-rich dish that pairs well with rice or bread.

2. Paneer Makhani: Paneer Makhani is a rich and creamy dish made from paneer, a type of Indian cottage cheese. The paneer cubes are simmered in a tomato-based sauce enriched with butter, cream, and a blend of spices. The sauce is smooth and mildly spiced, featuring ginger, garlic, cumin, and garam masala. The soft, succulent paneer pieces make Paneer Makhani a delightful component of the thali.

3. Chicken Tandoori: Chicken Tandoori is a vibrant, smoky-flavored dish. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. This marinade tenderizes the meat and infuses it with robust flavors. Cooked in a tandoor, a traditional clay oven, the chicken has a distinctive charred taste and juicy texture. It adds a protein-rich element to the thali.

4. Tandoori Pickles: Tandoori pickles are a tangy, spicy accompaniment. Made from vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, and green chilies, they are marinated in mustard oil, vinegar, and spices like fenugreek, mustard seeds, and turmeric. The vegetables ferment, allowing the flavors to develop. These pickles provide a crunchy texture and a zesty taste that complements the other dishes in the thali.

5. Naan Roti (Bread): Naan Roti, commonly referred to as naan, is a soft and fluffy Indian flatbread. Made from a dough of refined flour, yeast, yogurt, and sugar, it has a slightly sweet taste and tender texture. The dough is rolled out and cooked in a tandoor, resulting in a bread that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Naan is perfect for scooping up curries and dals.

6. Papad: Papad, also known as papadam or appalam, is a thin and crispy Indian wafer made from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour. Seasoned with spices like black pepper, cumin, or asafoetida, it has a unique and flavorful taste. Papad can be roasted over an open flame or fried until crispy. It adds a crunchy texture and a savory element to the thali.

7. Rice: Rice is a fundamental component of the Indian thali. Basmati rice, known for its long grains and fragrant aroma, is commonly used. It is usually steamed or boiled until fluffy and light. Sometimes, it is flavored with spices like cardamom, cloves, and bay leaves. Rice pairs well with dal, curries, and other thali components.

8. Salad: The salad in an Indian thali is a simple and refreshing mix of fresh vegetables. Common ingredients include sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and carrots. These are often seasoned with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Some variations may include grated radish, beets, or cabbage. The salad provides a crisp and cooling contrast to the rich and spicy dishes in the thali.

9. Sweets: No Indian meal is complete without a sweet ending. Our thali includes traditional Indian desserts like Gulab Jamun, a soft dough ball soaked in sugar syrup.

Increase Your Revenue with Diet chart for kids

Designing a balanced and nutritious diet chart for kids is of utmost importance to support their growth, development, and overall well-being. Children have unique nutritional needs that vary with age, activity level, and individual preferences. A well-structured diet not only provides essential nutrients but also lays the foundation for healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime. Here's a comprehensive guide to creating an effective diet chart for kids:

Breakfast: The first meal of the day is crucial for providing the energy and nutrients needed to kick-start a child's day. A balanced breakfast can include a combination of the following:

Whole Grain Cereal: Opt for whole grain cereals like oats, whole wheat bread, or whole grain pancakes. These provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.

Protein Source: Include a source of protein such as eggs, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese. Protein supports muscle growth and repair.

Fruits: Incorporate fresh fruits like berries, bananas, or oranges for vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.

Milk or Fortified Plant-Based Milk: Provide a glass of milk or fortified plant-based milk for calcium and vitamin D to support bone health.

Mid-Morning Snack: A nutritious mid-morning snack helps keep children energized and satisfied until lunchtime:

Nuts and Seeds: Offer a small handful of nuts (if age-appropriate) like almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds for healthy fats and essential nutrients.

Fruit: Provide a serving of sliced apples, grapes, or carrot sticks with hummus for added nutrients.

Lunch: Lunch should be a well-balanced meal that provides a variety of nutrients:

Lean Protein: Include lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, turkey, legumes (beans, lentils), or paneer (Indian cottage cheese).

Vegetables: Serve a mix of colorful vegetables, like tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers, either as a salad or in sandwiches.

Whole Grain: Choose whole grain options for carbohydrates, such as whole wheat pasta, quinoa, or brown rice.

Fruit: Include a small serving of fruit like watermelon, mango slices, or kiwi for natural sweetness and additional vitamins.

Afternoon Snack: A nutritious afternoon snack helps maintain energy levels and prevents overeating during dinner:

Cheese and Whole Grain Crackers: Offer whole grain crackers with a slice of cheese for a satisfying and balanced snack.

Vegetable Sticks: Provide carrot, cucumber, and celery sticks with a yogurt-based dip for a crunchy and nutrient-rich snack.

Dinner: Dinner should be a lighter meal that includes a variety of nutrients:

Fish or Tofu: Include a source of omega-3 fatty acids like salmon or tofu to support brain health and development.

Vegetables: Serve steamed or roasted vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or spinach.

Whole Grain: Opt for whole grain options like whole wheat roti (Indian bread) or quinoa to provide complex carbohydrates.

Dairy or Fortified Plant-Based Alternative: Provide a glass of milk or fortified plant-based milk for calcium and vitamin D.

Evening Snack: An evening snack can be a small, nutrient-rich option to curb hunger before bedtime:

Fruit Smoothie: Blend a fruit smoothie using yogurt, banana, berries, and a splash of milk for a tasty and nutritious treat.

Nut Butter and Whole Wheat Bread: Spread nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew) on whole wheat bread for a balanced snack.

Hydration: Encourage children to drink water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Limit sugary drinks and opt for water, milk, or diluted fruit juices.

Tips for Creating a Healthy Diet Chart for Kids

Variety is Key: Offer a wide range of foods from different food groups to ensure a diverse nutrient intake.

Portion Control: Serve appropriate portion sizes to prevent overeating and promote mindful eating.

Colorful Plate: Aim for a colorful plate by incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables in different hues.

Limit Sugars and Processed Foods: Minimize sugary snacks and processed foods to promote balanced nutrition and prevent excess calorie consumption.

Engage Children: Involve children in meal planning and preparation to encourage their interest in healthy foods.

Role Modeling: Set a positive example by eating a variety of nutritious foods yourself.

Family Meals: Whenever possible, enjoy meals together as a family to create a positive mealtime environment.

Individual Preferences: Respect your child's preferences while encouraging them to try new foods over time.

Consult a Pediatrician or Dietitian: If you have specific concerns about your child's nutrition, growth, or dietary requirements, seek guidance from a pediatrician or registered dietitian.

In conclusion, a well-structured diet chart for kids should prioritize nutrient-rich foods, balance, and variety. By offering a combination of lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, parents and caregivers can ensure that children receive the essential nutrients they need for growth and development. Instilling healthy eating habits from an early age can contribute to a lifetime of optimal health and well-being. It's important to remember that each child is unique, and their nutritional needs may vary, so consulting a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can provide tailored guidance for your child's specific requirements.

I came across the recipe just recently and was immediately drawn to it. With cauliflower back in season (yes, it's happening!) and a bottle of BBQ sauce still in my fridge, this just seemed like a timely pick.

I quartered this, subbing the pickled jalapeno for pickled red onion. I totally forgot to soak my cashews before diving into this so ended u having to boil them, which I never find to be ideal.

After getting that going, I started on the cauliflower first, as it takes the longest, adding the chickpeas in for the former's final 10 minutes in the oven. This is by far the most efficient way to go about this recipe, which actually turns out to be easier than it appears!

To no one's surprise, I had a rather difficult time getting my cashew sauce to blend and ended up adding a lot of extra water, so the flavor wasn't great. But with a big food processor and only 1/8 cup of cashews, that was unfortunately pretty inevitable.

For serving, I really shouldn't have gone so heavy on the kale and cabbage, as I think they really took away from the flavor here (I certainly could have skipped the tomatoes, if I'm being honest), but that was my own fault — other than that there was very little to complain about here. The cauliflower turned out absolutely stunning, so crispy and full of flavor, like wings you'd get in an upscale vegan restaurant.

This was a deliciously hearty salad, packed with a variety of textures and flavors, and I think a pretty solid first pick for cauliflower season!
