About Me

I am Kanika.

Thank you for stopping by.

As you browse through, you will find recipes that are healthy, quick and achievable, and made with simple and seasonal ingredients, more importantly, that you will love to cook!

Here, you will find tips that can make your life easy. With a focus on meals that you can cook once and eat twice. There are recipes for 30 min meals that you can whip up on those busy nights when time is limited, but you still want to prepare healthy home cooked food for the family.

About me

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables, finely shredded: capsicum, broccoli, beans, carrot and cabbage (I use my food processor for this)
  • 1 splash olive oil, for the stir-fry
  • Salt, pepper and dried herbs, to taste
  • 2 cups shredded roasted chicken (a deli chicken works well)
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup crumbled feta
  • ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • ¼ cup sliced olives
  • ¼ cup pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • Sliced Turkish bread, or bread of your choice

Method

  1. Stir-fry the shredded vegetables quickly in a little oil until cooked. Season with salt, pepper and dried herbs, then let them cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled vegetables with the chicken, mozzarella, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and pesto. Mix very well.
  3. Pile the filling onto the bread and grill until the cheese is melting and the top is crisp.

Notes

  • The filling keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days, so I always have a batch ready. It makes the best school lunch, after-school snack and holiday recipe for when the kids are home and forever hungry.
