In recent months I […]
Valentine’s day is just around the corner but last weekend was our wedding anniversary and so I had to make a special cake! Since hubby dear in general does not love sweets but adores nuts I decided to make a chocolate almond cake replacing part of the flour with almond flour. I actually got the idea for this […]
What do I like about the holidays? Everything! The lights, the decorations, the shopping, the gifts, the positive spirits and yes you guessed it right ..the treats! At this time of the year I like to take a few days off from work and spend time with the kids. I love to make and /bake […]
After apples last month it is pumpkin season now…well, at least in my kitchen! Last weekend I roasted our ‘Halloween decoration’ pumpkins. Roasted, Pureed and Packed (in freezer pouches).

Last week after I hit the ‘publish’ button, I realized that was my 100 th post! So much for waiting for a long time for my 100th post so I could create a special post! 🙁 Anyways then I thought 101 is a more auspicious number than 100 ..at least in India that is true! Hence you […]
Spring weather is finally here (yes it’s almost the end of May!) and as my kids like to say …’The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and dad is sneezing! 🙂 Yes the weather has been unusually cold here and so I am finally relieved to get some warm weather. And this year spring is extra […]
‘Everything goes as long as it has chocolate in it’ ! And that’s very true about any thing (baked or otherwise) that comes out of my kitchen. Hardly surprising is it? I think I won’t be terribly way off if I stated that ‘Chocolate makes the world go around’ 🙂 While we are on this topic – […]
