Everyone has a medium to vent out their work life frustration. Some take a trip, sing, cook or maybe just go out for a run. Amid this are people like me who calm their own self with food! Plenty of times I have craved for yummy dishes at office during stressful hours. In those times, I plan to cook a better meal for myself the next day that includes my favourite ingredients and Veeba sauces. Here are a few lunch items you can make for office:-

1.Rajma Rice – No matter in which corner of the world a North Indian shifts, Rajma rice is their “go-to” dish! Known as kidney beans, Rajma has certainly been everyone’s favourite and a stress buster!

2.Pizzas – This Italian beauty needs no fancy introductions or descriptions. The name itself is regal! Plus there are so many toppings and pizza sauces you can experiment with, and trust you’d never get bored. And if nothing else works out, a Joey’s special will do its charm!

3.Sandwiches – If you are someone who keeps his calories in check and follows strict diet regime (at least through the weekdays), then sandwiches and subs are the best for you. Take a loaf of bread and spread low fat mayo or other Subway sauces, with fresh veggies and TADA! Your job is done.

4.Pasta – Another Italian delicacy that leaves us craving for more. Be it Arabiatta, Alfredo, Pesto or mix, pasta has always delighted us. Thanks to the availability of amazingly prepared pasta sauce in India, you can cook a bowlful of penne, fusilli or spaghetti for yourself and enjoy to the core!

5.Tacos – Mexican cuisine is certainly a blessing! Considered one of the most filling and healthiest options (only if not loaded up with cheese), tacos have become a national rage! Fill up the taco shell with beans, tomatoes, onions and binding sauces such as chipotle ranch dressing and you are good to go!

On a Diet? Try these incredible salads

No longer does one have to munch on tasteless greens like a goat in order to shed a few pounds, for the advent of quality veggies, meats and sauces in India has made it incredibly easy and super fun to go on a diet.

If you are contemplating whether you want o adopt this new and healthy lifestyle or not, here are a few reasons that will make your decision much easier! Give these salads a chance and begin your journey to losing weight with a kick:

Lean Caesar salad:

If you are averse to the mere concept of salads, I suggest you start off with a Caesar salad. Now Caesar salads can be quite heavy and often defeat the very purpose of eating a salad; what with the fired bread croutons and the heavy dressing. Make your Caesar salad lighter without losing the taste factor by substituting the heavier components by lighter, less fatty alternatives. You can use a leaner meat like turkey ham instead of chicken, you can skip the bread croutons or use toasted whole wheat/multigrain bread. The dressing must be low fat , you can either make your own Caesar dressing salad recipe with olive oil. I suggest using Veeba’s low fat dressing cause its delicious and light!

Asian Seafood Salad:

Pick some good jumbo prawns, some Basa or sole river fish and mix them with the greens of your choice. Now since you need to make things zesty, you can make a sweet chili sauce recipe with sesame oil, soy sauce and some vinegar! I can vouch that the result will be nothing short of heavenly.

Tips to recreate delectable food from party leftovers

We are always throwing party every now and then. Weekends or weekdays, every day is a fun filled event. We get a chance to meet our friends, revive our relationships and gorge on some lip-smacking dishes. But there are so many times that we often are left with some party scraps and leftovers; especially food.

I am one of those who doesn’t like to waste food and I would rather save the stuff to hog on the other day. This time, at one of my parties recently, I had lots of leftovers behind. Not only just pizzas and chips, but Tandoori chicken and fried fish too. I was not letting go of it at any cost.

So I decided to recreate my boring leftovers into something new infusing my taste and kitchen essentials. Take a look of how I refashioned my food into new delicious items:

•    Chicken sandwich: Sandwiches are easy and tummy filling. This sandwich was absolutely a hit I had it. I sautéed my leftover tandoori chicken in some olive oil, added lots of herbs and seasonings. Concurrently, I cheese toasted my wheat bread and spread the teriyaki sauce on the base. I took the chicken and diced them into multiple pieces and placed them in the whole wheat bread. If you want, you could also put some chipotle sauce in the sandwich for more creamy palate.

•    Salads: Salads are often akin to the health conscious people. Prepare a basic salad consisting of fresh veggies – lettuce, capsicum, tomatoes and onions. But make it more exciting and delightful by putting in chunks of fish and chicken breasts, sprinkled in oregano and chilli flakes. Put in the chips to give a more crunchy taste. Don’t forget to top it up with the vinaigrette dressing for a scrumptious tang.

Make an extra effort and enjoy your leftovers as never before!

“One cannot think well, love well or sleep well, if one has not dined well.” –Virginia Woolf

Queen of words and the literary world, Virginia Woolf captured the essence of food beautifully and weaved it in the simplest yet profound words. But with the world moving at a faster pace, people barely get time to eat properly, which is also one of the key reasons why city dwellers have more diseases and less life expectancy rate. And considering that breakfast is one of the essential meals of the day, it is important for everyone to eat their first meal to avoid a crappy day ahead. Here are 5 items you can eat while commuting –

•Paranthas – Considered the staple Indian breakfast Paranthas, on which every Indian swears, can never leave anybody unhappy and hungry. It is hands down the most filling and amazing breakfast option. It is unhealthy due to excess of oil and butter used for its preparation, but one can choose to eat dry paranthas with onion, cottage cheese, potatoes or peas as the stuffing, with hint of pickle in the middle, rolled tightly.

•Calzone Pockets – We know the universal love for pizza and the undying craving to have it every day. But eating pizzas while driving or commuting is completely out of the question. Hence one can have its estranged cousin – the calzone pocket which is easy and yummy to eat. Doughy on outside, with enormous space for fillings inside, calzone is definitely your commute buddy.

•Wraps – This is one of the most obvious, filling and extremely nutritional (only if you do not load it up with gallons of cheese). You can go for a smaller, tightly rolled wrap, wrapped in a foil paper. You can fill it up with nutritional goodness by selecting delicious picks such as Greek feta, peri peri hummus, iceberg lettuce, chicken, low fat mayo, peppers, and olives and top it up with sweet chilli sauce with veeba.

•Bun Omlette – Another delicious and interesting pick, bun omelette is two worlds meeting to give you the delight of sumptuous breakfast that is not only delicious but nutritional!
