Warm and comforting, this Gingerbread Maple Latte is my new favorite holiday drink. It’s also dairy free and vegan.

Nutella Pumpkin Spice Latte – Homemade pumpkin spice latte with a nutella twist!
Happy November! This year is just flying, I think I will blink one more time and we will be in December. I have really no idea where this year went by. Yesterday I read a tweet which said “I swear, October lasted like 5 minutes”. My sentiments exactly! Anyway what did you guys do for Halloween? We didn’t do anything much other than of course giving out candies. God, I have so much...

Easy and delicious Vegan Spinach Smoothie is just what you need to start your day!
Urgh, writer’s block – I absolutely hate it. But as a blogger, you obviously have to deal with it at times and today happens to be one such day. They say when there’s too much going on inside your life (and mind!), you really don’t know where to start and that’s exactly what’s happening with me. I have been totally engrossed with family and hospital duties, so it’s...

Kick start your mornings with this Berry Oat Smoothie. It’s super filling, nutritious and good for you!
So I realized that I don’t have too many smoothie recipes on the blog! In fact this is only the 2nd smoothie recipe that I am sharing with you guys! How did that happen? I really don’t know. I think it has to do with the fact that a) my husband isn’t very fond of smoothies, not of any kind [except mango milkshake but that isn’t really a...

Easy Iced Mocha Mint Frappe is a refreshing treat to enjoy this summer!
Last few days of summer remaining and all I crave these days is refreshing drinks. Of course being an Indian, I grew up having chai but I could never understand how people would drink chai @ 115 F in Delhi during summers! Now don’t ask me why and how because I clearly don’t get it. It was a everyday thing, I would come back from college, it would be super hot and humid (sometimes there won’t...

My husband goes for indoor rock climbing twice a week. This started last year and since then he has been super regular with it. I have always been a gym girl but my hubby? He never liked the gym. I dragged him with me to the gym so many times but he would get bored and not want to come the next day. He has always been someone who enjoys playing different sports and doing adventurous stuff so maybe gym was not his thing. Well it took me some time to understand that but I did and since then I have been wishing for him to find something he enjoys...

I hope you guys are not getting tired of my mango recipes, I promise I will take a break (or I will try!!) after this one. However this recipe is different because it’s not made using ripe mangoes in stead it’s made with raw mangoes.

Refreshing Watermelon Jalapeño Limeade – a perfect summer drink with a touch of spice!
You guys already know how much my husband loves mangoes, like he is a mango fanatic and so obviously he’s very happy that the mango season is here. Well I like mangoes too, but if you ask me which fruit I eat/love the most during summers, watermelon wins hands down! Nothing like fresh, juicy watermelon straight out of the refrigerator on a warm day....

Mango season is here. Especially when you are in India, you don’t see anything besides mango in the market these days. You get so many varieties of mangoes here and they are all so delicious.

Are you feeling the heat? Well maybe not here in US, but back in India, temperatures are already 100 F degrees + and trust me it’s just the beginning.

Non Alcoholic Apple Cider Sangria is the perfect drink to celebrate fall. Kids and adults can enjoy this drink alike!
Confession time – I don’t drink alcohol. Not of any kind. In my 30+ years of life, I have tasted alcohol 7-8 times, I can count it on my fingers. I was brought up in a family where drinking alcohol wasn’t considered a good thing. Yes that’s how the society I grew up in the 90s in India was. Things have changed so much and now no one would think that way. I...

The weekend was so crazy. I never ever thought that I would be painting walls one day! Seriously in India, we always had painters to paint the wall, well everything is easy in a developing country when the cost of labor is low but not so in America. I have realized that all the small small things that we never even bothered doing ourselves in India (because there was ALWAYS someone to do it) has to done all by us here and that includes painting the wall.
So we have been meaning to paint the...
