Strawberries! How I love them!! When warmer temps roll around, I cannot wait to get my hands on some fresh, juicy, red strawberries. Then it’s milkshakes, popsicles, ice creams, puddings, breads and what-not all the time at our home… much to the amusement of the guys! This year, we went strawberry picking and came back…

Falooda {Rose Flavored Indian Dessert Beverage}
Every school kid looks forward to Friday evening. I know, mine does. I used to be the same when I was his age (ok, even now!). Growing up, Friday nights (or sometimes Saturday nights) were special. That’s when we went shopping, and most often, dined out. When I was a school kid in the 90s,…
Chicken Gyro Wraps {With Homemade Flatbreads, Grilled Chicken And Tzatziki Sauce}
If I had to survive on only one type of cuisine (other than Indian food) for the rest of my life, then that would be Mediterranean. I love Greek food, which makes up a part of Mediterranean cuisine. My favorite Greek food are gyros – lamb or chicken, it doesn’t matter. I have had it…
Murgh Saagwala {Chicken And Eggs In Spinach Gravy}

Avocado And Egg Toast
My blogging mantra is simple. Keep it simple, keep it real, keep it interesting. Some recipes hit one, maybe two of these criteria. But this particular one, has it all. I always forget to blog about the simple things, the little gems that I keep going back to for everyday sustenance. You know, the kind…
Sabja (Basil Seeds) And Berry Pudding
When the temps start to rise, there’s nothing like a quick and cool dessert to round off a meal. Not that I need any excuse to make desserts, but doesn’t this bowl just scream “Spring”?!! I may have let out a little scream of glee when I started spotting this season’s strawberries. In Texas, we…
