Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Vanilla Cupcakes with a strawberry surprise! How cute is that isn’t it? I don’t know how this idea came to my mind. But it did and I just had to try it! Especially now when it is strawberry season and when for the last two weeks my weekly share in the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) […]
Yes its all about the sauce! This red chill tomatillo salsa called as Salsa Roja is the bomb! Hot and fiery with a slightly sour tinge from the tomatillos. This was a perfect complement to the vegetable quesadillas I made. Nothing too complicated about the quesadillas – they are my ‘go to’ recipe when I need to […]
Oh boy, its summer vacation! Can’t believe how an entire school year is gone. Whoosh. Just like that. Unbelievable. And with the relief also comes a slight panic attack. How am I going to keep them entertained and busy for the next two months? I guess we will figure something out. Maybe I can get […]
It is Monday night and I am just about to type my post that I meant to post last Friday. Where did my weekend go? I am increasingly feeling that a 2 day weekend is not sufficient. Especially when the weather is so great outside. When you have so much to do! Soccer games to […]
Oeey Gooey So Chocolatey! Dreamy, Ethereal… The best chocolate cake ever! – Now even that description does not do justice to this cake. This cake is beyond ordinary words! Just one bite of it and you are in heaven!. Last weekend was fabulous. Mainly because it was the long weekend…Memorial Day weekend. Fortunately for us, we didn’t […]
When I started my blog about a year and a half ago, I was working from home full-time and that definitely saved me about a couple hours each day since I didn’t need to commute. Sadly, I had to move jobs last year and although things are good on the work front, I miss those days […]
The name ‘Mexican Wedding cookies’ sounds quite romantic and alluring right? These cookies are actually indeed quite cute and seductive looking – small cookie balls rolled in powdered sugar. And when you bite into them you get the flaky cookie with a delicious buttery pecan flavor. You could use walnuts too instead of pecans. And the best part is […]
Goodness me! Did I really make Tamales? From scratch? Yes ..And that too on a weeknight after work? I must be crazy! Well a little bit crazy perhaps… but I did have a reason for doing what I did – trying to make tamales on a weeknight! And the reason was that I had soaked […]
It has been a busy couple weeks – Spring and warm weather is here at last. But the kids outdoor sports activities have started too and with that and work and yard work etc etc there is no time to even blink! And I am also on my Mexican mission this month trying to read […]
To cook authentic Mexican, you need ingredients that are authentic Mexican. I am sure you will agree. Reading about traditional Mexican recipes, I was noting down names of a lot of exotic spices, herbs, chillies, cheeses and was wondering where I could find them! I went to our local Whole Foods Market and did find a […]
A bottle of homemade pickle will be found in any self-respecting Indian household. And If you happen to be an Indian living away from India then you must be smuggling homemade pickle jars every time you pay a visit to your homeland. As for me, I get jars of home made pickles made lovingly by my MIL […]
The decision to do Mexico after Spain was just a practical one. Our friends happened to visit us a couple weekends ago and since they are vegetarian, I thought why not do a ‘Mexican’ meal?. Plus ‘Cinco de Mayo’ is just around the corner ! Thus the destination choice for Around the world #2 was made! I […]
