There’s a reason peaches are synonymous with summer and the south. They need the bright, hot southern summer sun to ripen to perfection. And the ripe fruit itself resembles a golden orb, like the one in the sky. We have sort of made it an annual summer tradition to pick peaches at a local farm…
Watermelon-Berry Popsicles
Today’s recipe is going to be an easy and really quick one. You just need to be patient for a few hours till the popsicles set in the freezer, that’s all. Now, who doesn’t love popsicles, right? I think it is the treat-on-a-stick allure that brings out childhood memories and makes it an all-round favorite….
Milk Tea, Cardamom And Rose Cake {With Brown Butter And Cardamom Glaze}
It’s been rather quite around here. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I am enjoying having the little one home all the time this summer. Not that I am not trying new recipes or playing around with my camera, but I am simply not bound to my usual schedule of posting at least twice…
Blueberry Limeade (Or Lemonade)
Oh, summer, how I love you! Yes, you are hot, sweaty and annoyingly, blindingly bright on most days. But I don’t care. I love not having to wear jackets, scarves and boots. I love that I can literally be out of the door at a moment’s notice. And even though I end up looking like…
Pho-Inspired Asian Noodle Soup
If you believe that soups have no place in summer, you might want to rethink that once you read today’s recipe. Soups generally fall into two main categories (I am sure you can think of more) – creamy soups and lighter broth-like soups. While the thicker and creamier soups made with melons, tubers and other…
Aam Panna {Indian Green Mango Summer Cooler}
This recipe has been on my bucket list for the blog for such a long time now. Most of the recipes on this blog are happy accidents or delightful surprises from my kitchen. I rarely chart a proper course of action as to what to post and when. But I was adamant that aam panna…
Homemade Chocolate Truffles
This post made it just in time for Father’s Day…phew! This post has been in my mind for such a long time, but somehow the execution and posting bit got delayed a bit. This is actually part of the monthly Cooking With Friends themed blogging challenge. Ever since we decided to do no-bake, no-fuss desserts…
Crispy Fish Tacos With Jalapeno-Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
Summer vacation is in full swing here right now and I am enjoying every bit of it. I decided to give the little guy a short break from summer camps and classes, so he is home with me all the time. And while we drive each other crazy, we wouldn’t have it any other way….
Vanilla-Lime Cupcakes With Blackberry Buttercream Frosting
The little one “graduated” from Kindergarten last week and I made him these cupcakes to celebrate. His class actually had a double graduation. They were invited to be on the local TV show with their little caps and gowns and later that night, they had a beautiful ceremony hosted by the school as well. Little…
Guac And Roll Burger {Guacamole Cheeseburger For H-E-B #PrimoPicks}
Nothing, and I mean nothing, satisfies when the burger craving hits you. And when it’s summer in Texas, you better fire up your grill (or grill pan at least!) for some juicy, homemade burgers. Homemade burgers may sound intimidating, but they are so easy. Just make sure you have the right tools and ingredients and…
Lemon Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait
So, the move went well but it has left me exhausted. We are settling in at the place and I feel like I have to do everything at once. Since that is not really a good idea, I am taking it slow. So I thought it was time for another blog post. This recipe is…
Beans Thoran/Poriyal {South Indian Style Green Beans And Coconut Stir Fry}
Whenever I post a new recipe, people have either one of two reactions. If it is someone who has known me for a while (read, since childhood), they are truly amazed at my culinary transformation. As for the rest, well, there are some who offer constructive criticism and others who even request certain recipes. But…
