I thought I would give you guys an update on my attempts at homemade pizza. I was feeling pretty good after all the response and encouragement I got for this post. Fellow bloggers, you guys rock! So, remember how I told you I found an easy rise pizza dough recipe. The same dough can be refrigerated…
Brazilian Lemonade With Coconut Milk
I might a be a little late posting a lemonade recipe, as summer is giving way to fall, though it doesn’t seem that way in Texas. Still, better late than never, right? I pinned this recipe for Brazilian lemonade (it is made using limes, actually), but just now got around to making it. What was I…

Ricotta Cheese Cupcakes With Ricotta Cheese Buttercream Frosting And Candied Orange Peel Garnish
Phew, that is a long blog title! Anyway, let me tell you how it came to be. I’ve been collecting cake recipes to try out for our fifth wedding anniversary (already!) this week.

August 15th marks the 67th Independence Day of the Republic of India. It is a day of great joy and pride to Indians all over the world. I decided to make a tricolor dessert for a little celebration at home. The Indian flag colors are saffron (a shade of orange), white and green, with a blue wheel…
How I Made *Dried Apricot Refrigerator Jam*
Growing up in humid South India, I have never come across fruits such as peaches, nectarines or apricots in my childhood. So imagine my surprise when I read that some sources believe that apricots were originally cultivated in India (the drier Northern part, of course). I love such historical tidbits of information. I don’t really know why! Like…
Easy Dessert – Apple Crumble With Pudding
I love apples. They are my favorite fruit hands down. I like them as a simple fruit snack or with a little pat of peanut butter (You’ve never tried it, you say? Well you should!). Sometimes I make a simple apple crumble (or crisp, as it is known in some places) which is usually a fall treat,…

Summer Cooler – Tomato Watermelon Juice
A friend gave us some home-grown juicy tomatoes. I used a couple of them in curries, when suddenly my mom reminded me that I could juice them for little Boy. Tomatoes are full of essential nutrients, you know. So I made this super summer cooler with the rest of the tomatoes. They were quite sour…
Light Potato Salad With Yogurt Dressing
I love the potato salad from Bill Miller BBQ. I do not have it that often, but I wanted it so bad the other day, I decided to make my own potato salad. I did not want to use mayonnaise or sour cream, but I found many recipes that used plain yogurt as the base for…
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
This is a delicious, super-easy peanut butter cookie recipe that even kids can help make. I used chunky peanut butter because that’s what I like, but feel free to use the creamy version, if that’s what you prefer. You will need: Peanut butter – 1 cup Sugar – 1 cup Egg – 1, large Vanilla…
