Home-Made Balti with a little help...

I have been digging deeper into the world of food sense becoming a Pescetarian. (no, it's not for humanitarian reason's, totally personal and working on going full vegan) I want to start blogging my food to help me remember and give people a place to go and see what I have been working on.

Today, I made Indian for Dinner. Balti! I feel in love with Indian food when i moved to England and decided it would be good to try making at home. So, here is what i used.


A whole medium zucchini.
Two handfuls of fine beans.
A third of yellow and red bell peppers.
A whole medium parsnip.
One can of Black Beans.
One can of Patak's Balit sauce. (one of the Helpers)
Store bought/Pre-made Nan. (the other Helper)
Extra virgin olive oil.
Sesame oil.


I cut up all the veggies into relatively small chunks and put them in a big hot pan with EVOO and sesame oil. Tossed it around a bit and added the beans. Then it sat a few minuets in between tosses. Once all the veggies were tender and beginning to brown I added the Balti sauce. Don't forget to cook your Nan according to the direction on the package.


This meal should feed four adults. I didn't time myself to see how long it took but give yourself about 45 minuets to get it done. I bought organic when I could but that isn't necessary. This is simple and can be changed up as needed. Experiment and find out what works for you. That's what i did. Good luck!

Pride in your skin color.

I don't know if it's just me or if others have noticed it, But why is everyone trying to change their natural born skin color. Society pressures girls with beautiful Milky white skin to tan and get darker cause they are to bright. Society pressures girls with beautiful silk chocolate skin to stay out of the sun cause they are to dark. I'm very light skinned and I love it. I think the wide and never ending variety of skin colors are SO beautiful! God's wonderful work of art! Some people feel the need to change who they naturally are to become more "attractive"... But that is a matter of opinion! There is a wide variety of people and personalities out there, and along with that there is a wide variety of skin colors and eye colors to match those personalities! I think we should just leave our sweet skin colors alone and it someone has a problem with it then they aren't worth our precious time anyway! So i guess, I'm White!!! and Get over it!!! I love it!!!
