Holi Hain! The mention of Holi makes my heart feel so happy. And warm. The warm feeling you get when you think of fun things that you used to do on Holi like fooling around with friends, playing pranks on strangers (only when I was a teenager 🙂 ), throwing tons of water and color […]
Desserts
Dates, Almond and Coconut rolls (Easy 3 ingredient Date rolls)
These 3 ingredient easy rolls are so yummy! A few weeks ago while shopping at our local supermarket, I noticed these date nut rolls displayed in cute little packages in the middle of the produce aisle. ‘Neat’ I said to myself and also made a mental note that I had to try making them. Of […]
Chocolate Love Cake (Vegan Chocolate Cake with a berry filling)
February brings mixed emotions in me. One one hand it brings us a lot of snow storms but on the other hand it also is so romantic because of Valentine’s day. Our wedding anniversary also falls close to V day so for me Feb says ROMANCE in capital letters 🙂 And so once again I got my twin heart […]
Semolina Almond Halwa (Vegan Sooji Halwa)
One always hear about folks talking about middle of the night cravings. But what about middle of the day cravings? And that too when you are in the middle of work? Well that does not usually happen to me but of late its been happening. I think its because of the different diet restrictions that […]

Date and Almond Truffles (Healthy 3 Ingredient Truffles)
What do you folks think of the expression ‘Healthy indulgence’? Does that even make sense? Is that even possible? Or is it an oxymoron? The dictionary defines indulgence as ‘yielding to an inclination or desire’… ‘To allow oneself to follow one’s will’. By that token, any kind of ‘desired’ activity could be your weakness and whenever […]

Baked Chocolate Pumpkin Donuts
It is Pumpkin galore! Last fall I had made ‘baked Pumpkin donuts’ that the kids had just loved (and devoured). So this year again my munchkins were demanding the same. Being a blogger mom, I needed to make it even better for them right? And so what did I do? I added chocolate to the batter […]
Molten Chocolate Cake with Caramel sauce
When it comes to cakes and breads, I never post a recipe unless I have tried it at least twice successfully. And when it came to Molten Lava cake, I have never been fully satisfied with the results until now! Over the past 1 year I have tried 3 different recipes and finally this 4 […]
Summer Special: Strawberry and Chocolate Cream Cheese Ice cream Pops
Creamy ..Dreamy …Yummy…just fabulous! That about describes this ice cream made with cream cheese, fresh strawberries and oreo cookie crumbs! You can’t go wrong with these ingredients can you?

Cherry Clafoutis
Mom, can we make cherry Clafoutis? This was a question my 8 yr old asked me all summer last year but unfortunately this busy mom never got around to doing that with her. So so bad of me! She had saved a copy of the recipe that she had found in a ‘kid friendly recipe book’ […]
