Now that Spring has officially arrived, I am a happy person. I am so not a winter girl. The bundling up, chapped lips, and cold feet are not for me. Honestly, I shouldn’t even complain about winter because we Texans do not experience a fraction of the difficulties folks up North have to put up…
Sunrise Mocktail
It does look like sunrise in a glass, doesn’t it? I am super excited to share this amazing mocktail with all of you, but first, I must tell you how it came to be. I mentioned in this post that a bunch of us have decided to do a monthly blog post based on a…
Jalapeno Cheddar Muffins
Every once in a while, I bake a batch of savory whole wheat muffins studded with whatever vegetables I happen to have in my refrigerator that day. We have them with our evening tea and eat them at breakfast. As I write this, I also realize that I’ve never shared the recipe with you. My…
Dirt & Worms Pudding – Kids’ Delight!
Picture this. You are at the grocery store, trying frantically to locate the items on your list, all the while trying to steer your kids’ eyes away from the candy aisle. And almost always, they are drawn to it like moths to a flame. Starburst is Boy’s favorite and also those icky gummy treats. Gummy…
Cardamom-Vanilla Cake Topped With Nutella
It seems there is a special day for anything and everything under the sun. I am not one to follow these trends, so imagine my surprise when I learned that there was an entire day dedicated to Nutella! I give Nutella my fair share of love, but nothing over the top really. I like to…
Yogurt, Berry And Granola Parfait
Last week, I introduced you to these new granola bars that can be baked at home with minimum fuss. While I loved the granola as such, I also wanted to use it in other creative, yet easy and healthy ways. And what better than parfait? Parfait was traditionally used to refer to a layered frozen…

Fresh Orange Muffins
Oranges, they are such a joy to behold. It’s like sunshine packaged in a fruit. I love oranges in any form, though I am a bit partial to the easy-peel, sweet varieties. I love how Boy gets orange breath after eating sweet clementines for a snack. Or how they make my fingers smell when I…
Grapefruit Juice {With Ginger Simple Syrup}
I feel grapefruit is a fruit with an identity crisis. It belongs to the citrus family, but cannot seem to make its mind up on which end of the spectrum to belong to, whether to be pucker-worthy tart like limes and lemons or sweet like oranges? So this gorgeous fruit has carved a niche following…
Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark
I am so happy that at least for now, Texas is out of the deep freeze that’s been gripping the nation the past month. I realize not many are as lucky as us, but I have a super simple recipe to cheer you up. And it’s a frozen treat. Don’t hate me, please. It’s absolutely…
Millet Pudding {Served With Cider-Poached Peaches}
I know what you are thinking. Where are the desserts? Aren’t you making any? Well, not much, actually. I got till the second week of January without baking anything. Then I buckled and made those little mug cakes for us one evening. But that doesn’t count, does it? Then, last week was Pongal (an Indian harvest festival) and…
Oatmeal Thumbprint Cookies
This post should have come out earlier. I came up with this recipe last week when I was feeling down and defeated hearing all the terrible events taking place around the world. Baking these cookies was my way of overcoming a sudden sadness that seemed to cocoon me. Somehow, working with my hands has always…
