Did I mention that I am learning to drive these days? Yes, after being in US for more than 3 years I finally decided to learn how to drive. Actually all this while we have been living in downtown where everything is at a walking distance so I didn’t really feel the need. But now that we have bought our own house which isn’t actually in downtown, it finally dawned upon me that I need to learn this.
I used to drive in India but driving in India and US is as different as chalk and...
My husband’s favorite season is here and yes it’s only because he gets to eat mangoes. I think 90% of the Indian population is obsessed with mangoes, I don’t blame them though. You do get the most amazing mangoes in India, the ones we get here in USA can never match up to them. The Indian mangoes are so sweet and bursting with flavors, each variety has it’s own unique flavor. And that is the reason why mango is everyone’s favorite fruit in India!
Spring is finally here with Easter less than a week away. While I always want to share dessert recipes for holidays this time I am making an exception. Today I am sharing with you a super simple recipe, which traditionally doesn’t belong on the Easter table but I see no reason why it shouldn’t?! It’s fresh, delicious and perfect for spring. I think that qualifies my Strawberry Lassi for the Easter brunch. Isn’t it?
Lassi refers to any yogurt based drink in India and it’s quite popular in US as...
Are you a morning person? When I was in college I used to sleep pretty late, I think that’s a common thing with everyone during college time. But it’s amazing how a lot of our habits change with time. After getting married and settling down in life, I started sleeping early, in fact now it’s a challenge for me to stay awake till midnight. I remember recently we had this Indian-Pakistan world cup cricket match and it went on till 3 am in the morning. I can’t remember the last time I was up this late and trust me it was hard for me to keep my eyes...
Chai – so many ways to make it and so many ways to relish it. Mornings in India are incomplete without chai, I think nobody does anything till they get their fix of chai. With so much chai around, it was obvious that I grew up loving the drink as well. However my parents always drank the simple chai made with milk, water, sugar and loose tea leaves but I could somehow never like it that way. So when I grew up, I always tried making my own chai, sometimes with ginger, sometimes with cardamom and...
Do we really need protein supplements available in the market? Is out diet not enough to provide all the proteins that the body needs? These were exactly my thoughts some years back when I didn’t know much about exercise and nutrition. I had limited knowledge and I never gave protein powders a second thought. But over the years I realized that my diet doesn’t provide enough proteins to my muscles which they need after I lift weights or run. It’s especially true for vegetarians [like me] who do vigorous workouts or for someone who wants to gain...
Hello everyone! How is you week going so far? I hope everyone is having fun and enjoying the holiday season. I am out on a vacation with hubby and friends. I did snowboarding for the first time today and fell down so many times! It was crazy but good fun. We are still here for a day and then go to Vegas! How I love that city, so excited to be there always!
So before my vacation I worked overtime in my kitchen so that I have recipes to share with my readers while I am away. Is there anything more wonderful than hot...
How’s your weekend going? I am just lazing around, the last week was pretty hectic so I’m taking it easy for the weekend. It has started to get cold suddenly, like I don’t know it was not this cold last week and from the last 3-4 days the air has become cold. My pillow, my bed sheet, the wall of my room, everything has started to turn cold. It all points out to one thing > Winter is coming! Winters means more hot chocolate and probably that’s the only reason I look forward to this...
In my opinion, Nutella is great with anything and everything. It’s just so delicious and if you add it to your food, the flavor just doubles up. Maybe I am biased because I love Nutella way too much but seriously how can you not love it?...
You know it’s fall when Starbucks starts featuring Pumpkin Latte on their menu! It’s the most popular drink during fall but me being a tea lover prefer their pumpkin chai tea latte, which is a delightful combination of pumpkin and lots of spices. I had my first pumpkin chai this year a week back, while it was nice I thought it was the regular Starbucks chai with little pumpkin pie spice. I could not really taste any pumpkin in...
What would be this world without chocolate? I think it will be totally depressing and boring! Chocolate I think is the best thing to have happened to mankind, one bite and you feel happy and energetic,there’s no other medicine that can do that!...
Posting this from the beautiful Yellowstone National Park. Even though the weather is not so great the place is simply stunning. The geysers, wildlife, lakes, waterfalls, it’s all so scenic. The only flip side is it’s really cold here, I didn’t really...
