I was never suspicious of the biryani because it’s difficult to cook, but because it’s typically served as a main course. As a little girl, rice had always been a side dish for me – something to go with the daal or to soak up a sauce....

I love Chipotle Mexican Grill. It is one of my favorite healthier fast foods because I get to choose what I want in my bowl. A Chipotle Burrito Bowl is so satisfying because it gives you just the right amount of protein, carbs, fats, and greens. With that said, as much as I love Chipotle, I do find the food at Chipotle to be quite high in sodium (that’s any fast food for that matter) which leaves me feeling lethargic....
