  Paneer Butter Masala (Paneer Makhani) Creamy Restaurant style Paneer Butter Masala is easy to make at home. This creamy curry is made with onion, tomatoes, cashews, cream and butter (of course!). t has a mild sweet taste and pairs beautifully with  garlic naan and rice.

The key to tandoori chicken is to use bone-in thighs and legs (yay! our favorite cuts) because they have enough fat to stay moist under the heat of the grill. We don't recommend this dish with chi

  Balanced Diet Share on Pinterest What is a balanced diet? A balanced diet gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly. The source of your daily calories are also important. Foods that provide mainly calories and very little nutrition are known as “empty calories.” Examples of foods that provide empty calories include: cakes, cookies, and donuts processed meats energy drinks and sodas fruit drinks with added sugar ice cream chips and fries pizza sodas However, it’s not only the type of food but the ingredients that make it nutritious. A homemade pizza with a wholemeal base and plenty of fresh veggies on top may be a healthy choice. In contrast, premade pizzas and other highly processed foods often contain empty calories. To maintain good health, limit your consumption of empty calories and instead try to get your calories from foods that are rich in other nutrients.
