Sesame Lavash Crackers

I am so happy that I am finally feeding and nourishing my family. Mission Accomplished! My mojo is coming back. I am starting to think of food again and making simple recipes to start. For example these sesame lavash crackers. So simple and so quick that they are done in less than 5 minutes. The [...]

Spinach Lamb/Beef Meatballs

These are perfect for St. Patty’s day treat! It is only recently that I have discovered the beauty of using fruits and vegetables to add color to a recipe. So, these yummy lamb kebabs are green courtesy of pureed spinach. You can easily substitute the lamb with minced beef in this recipe. This recipe makes [...]

Vietnamese Spring Rolls

I think there are certain food items  that the whole family can tailor to their tastes. You can have an apple dipping station where each member can dip slices of apples in the dip of their choice. Or you have the taco night where everyone can make tacos with the toppings they like. Or you [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Bacon Black Eyed Peas Green Herb Patties

I am a big fan of kebabs or patties. Kids love them too. They are awesome finger foods. They are multi purpose – you can eat them for lunch, snack, dinner, school lunches and serve as an afternoon snack! My 2 year old inhaled these patties. They have this smoky bacon flavor that just makes [...]

Cilantro Lime Quinoa Chicken

What’s your favorite part of eating at Chipotle? Our favorite definitely has to be the cilantro-lime rice. It just tastes so yummy and is a perfect flavor. If you haven’t eaten at Chipotle, you should still make this Cilantro Lime Quinoa Chicken dish.  This one dish wonder is perfect as a snack or a one dish dinner. [...]
