Video: Chocolate Milk

Chocolate milk is a treat! My kids drink chocolate milk 2-3 times a week, the rest of the times it is plain milk with some omega 3 in it. They have been drinking plain milk from the beginning – no added sugar, and no added flavor. I want to believe that their taste buds have [...]

Blueberry Tarragon Frozen Pop (Zoku)

Hello my Zoku maker! It has been a long long time, since I have played with you. You see I have been playing with lego blocks and puzzles lately and dwelling in the world of pixies and goblins and fairies courtesy of Enid Blyton books for kids. I saw you sitting in the corner of [...]

Rosemary Lemon Zest Naan

I love taking something store bought and kicking it up a notch. For instance, I find store bought naan blah, a type of flat bread extremely popular in South Asia, there’s no comparison with the naans you get in Indian restaurants.  You cannot make Naan at home easily unless you have a tandoor, an indian [...]

Fruit Kebab Skewers

Fruit salad was one of my favorite dishes from my childhood. I knew I was in for a treat everytime I saw it on the table because vanilla icecream always came with the fruit salad. Yummy! Even now, when I visit India and see fruit salad on the table, my smile stretches from cheek to [...]

Cauliflower Popcorn

I have come to realize three things about feeding children. One – food doesn’t have to have complex flavors.  Two – kids love crunch when it comes to their veggies. As long as veggies are not too mushy the kids are more likely to eat them. Three – if they don’t like something at first, [...]

Nutella Strawberry Milkshake

  The way my 2 year old drank this milkshake will be etched in my memories. I had poured the milkshake to photograph it for the post and by the time I came back to the kitchen with the camera, my little sneaky swiper (yes we love the Dora books in our home) had swiped [...]

Honey Sesame Baked Tofu

During our nightly snuggle and talk time, my 4.5 year old daughter asked me how I made the baked tofu that the kids at her preschool had eaten earlier in the day. Me: I mixed some honey, sesame oil and soy sauce together and baked it. Her response: You know why I asked you for [...]

Puff Pastry Cheese Straws

  My children have discovered puff pastry now and fancy themselves as gourmet cooks! I think puff pastry makes everything seem gourmet. Growing up, puff pastry dishes were the ones you ate out of the house, because you didn’t make it at home. Imagine my joy when I discovered puff pastry sheets a few years [...]
