 Chipotle Veggie Bowl


Here is a delicious chipotle veggie bowl with Fajita veggies, black bean, guacamole and tomato Salsa. You can make any variations to this by replacing tomato salsa with tomato corn salsa, add any other veggies to Fajita, replace rice with brown rice. 

Below are the different ingredients and sides I include in my veggie bowl, which is also my family favorite.

You can make any variations to this.

1) Cilantro-lime rice,

2) Canned black beans,

3) Veggie Fajita

4) Tomato Salsa or Pico de Gallo

5) Guacamole

6) Sour Cream

7) Shredded Cheese

8) shredded lettuce

9) Cholula Hot Sauce


How to make Cilantro-lime rice

Cook the Rice with Olive Oil, Salt, bay leaf(optional), 2-3 Cloves (Optional)

Once the rice is cool, Add little Olive Oil, freshly squeezed Lemon juice and chopped Cilantro. You can adjust the amount of lime and cilantro depending on your personal preference.


How to make Veggie Fajita

Slice or Stripe the colored bell peppers and Onions. I like to add few Jalapenos, but this is completely optional.

Heat Olive Oil in a Skillet and add the chopped onion and pepper slices. Sprinkle with Salt, Cumin/Jeera Powder, red chili flakes, Oregano,  garlic powder (optional). Fry until veggies are tender.


How to make Guacamole

Take 2 ripe Hass avocados and mash it with a  fork. I like to get few small chunks of avocados while eating. But if you like creamy one, then use the blender and mash it.

 Add 2 tsp lime juice, 2 tbsp. cilantro (chopped), ¼ cup red onion (diced), ½ jalapeño including seeds (diced), and ¼ tsp salt. 

Optionally add chopped tomatoes, black pepper powder and finely chopped fresh garlic.


How to make Fresh Tomato Salsa or Pico de Gallo

Fresh tomato salsa is ideally made with firm, fleshy tomatoes like Roma tomatoes. Roughly Chop the tomatoes, Red Onions, Chili peppers and Cilantro. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse few times to dice the ingredients and not puree it. Now add lemon juice, Salt and black pepper.


If you do try this out or want to share any variations, do leave a comment. Would love to hear from you.

SuryaNamaskara

Home is the starting place of love, hope and dreams. As we are all maintaining #socialdistancing and staying home, it is equally important to keep our body and mind healthy. I am best utilizing this time practicing SuryaNamaskara or Sun Salutation. SuryaNamaskara or Sun Salutation is one of the basic Yoga Practice. It consists of 8 Asanas or postures combined in a Yoga Sequence of 12. This powerful and ancient asanas not only makes you flexible and strong but also boosts metabolism. Best time to practice SuryaNamaskara is early morning before food intake, but can also be done late evening before dinner. Each posture stretches different part of the body and has its own health benefits. But maintaining right posture and breathing rhythm is equally important to get these benefits. Some of the benefits are - Tones muscles and improves flexibility - Keep anxiety and Stress away - Good for hormonal balance - Improves Digestion - Improve your Skin - Increases Energy

My two month review of F45 HIIT training workout

Its been 3 years since my second delivery and i breast fed my LO for 3 years. After weaning off,  i still continued to eat the same amount of food. This resulted in excess weight gain. I did not do any workout, nor followed any specific diet and to add to this had a laid back lifestyle (although busy running around my 2 kids) , there was a lot of fat deposition around my abdomen and waist.  My dresses are not fitting any more. Every time i see myself, i thought of starting workout or going on a KETO diet which has amazing and fast results (although not sure about any side effects). With 2 kids and a full time corporate job, i was always pressed for time. I always had reasons not to workout - sometimes it is crunched for time, other time it is no motivation or sometimes low in energy. Occasionally I did yoga at home, but starting yoga in your 30s comes with its own challenges. When i started to have weakness, pain in my joints and fatigue all the time, i knew this is the time.
