Wh-aat??? It’s August already? Where did the time go? I’ve been cooking my little heart out with fresh summer produce all summer long, but the recipes barely make it to the blog. I am so sorry about that guys, but I will try my best to bring you all of them before the season comes…
Peach Iced Tea {With Peach Simple Syrup}
This summer, we’ve been trying to eat healthy, more mindful of what we put in our bodies, trying to avoid eating out whenever we can help it. Speaking of dining out, our go-to drink of choice has always been a nice, cold glass of southern iced tea. While maintaining a healthy diet, I still believe…
Blueberry Limeade (Or Lemonade)
Oh, summer, how I love you! Yes, you are hot, sweaty and annoyingly, blindingly bright on most days. But I don’t care. I love not having to wear jackets, scarves and boots. I love that I can literally be out of the door at a moment’s notice. And even though I end up looking like…
Falooda {Rose Flavored Indian Dessert Beverage}
Every school kid looks forward to Friday evening. I know, mine does. I used to be the same when I was his age (ok, even now!). Growing up, Friday nights (or sometimes Saturday nights) were special. That’s when we went shopping, and most often, dined out. When I was a school kid in the 90s,…
Mango Ice Cream Sundae {With Honey Roasted Cashews, Raspberries And Chocolate}
Drop what you’re doing and just ogle at this beauty, will ‘ya? You know you want it, I know you do! This is my second homemade ice cream recipe for this season and I went all out this time. Last month, I tried my hand at a vegan coconut milk version, but seriously, if you…
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…

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…
Chocolate Sugar Cookies
I have a love-mostly hate relationship with those sweet sugar cookies thickly frosted with royal icing. Please do not get me wrong, I love desserts. But there is something annoying about the cloyingly sweet store-bought cookies. And it makes me feel so guilty afterwards. My solution is actually pretty simple. Skip the icing. Bake cookies,…
Keema Cutlets {Indian Minced Meat Croquettes}
This week, I find myself in a peculiar sort of predicament. Whenever I sit down to draft a post, I find that I am at a loss for words. If you know me personally, you will find it weird, impossible even. I am rarely at a loss for words. But right now, I am coming…
Paneer Kofta Korma {Indian Cottage Cheese Balls In A Delicate Yogurt Sauce}
Winters are when I am at my lethargic worst. But the colder weather requires substantial sustenance too. That is when you go for the rich and filling curries and korma fits the bill perfectly. Depending on where you come from, korma can mean different things. What we call korma in South India tend to be…
Chocolate Cupcakes With Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
Thanksgiving is a beautiful all-American tradition that I really look forward to each year. Though the hubby would argue I actually look forward to the shopping extravaganza the day after, but truly, I love the concept of giving thanks for our everyday blessings. It is immensely important to instil this thanks-giving virtue in our kids…
