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…

Sweet Spring Desserts {Strawberry Cupcakes And Coconut Milk Ice Cream}
Now that Spring has officially arrived, I am a happy person. I am so not a winter girl. The bundling up, chapped lips, and cold feet are not for me. Honestly, I shouldn’t even complain about winter because we Texans do not experience a fraction of the difficulties folks up North have to put up…

Jalapeno Cheddar Muffins
Every once in a while, I bake a batch of savory whole wheat muffins studded with whatever vegetables I happen to have in my refrigerator that day. We have them with our evening tea and eat them at breakfast. As I write this, I also realize that I’ve never shared the recipe with you. My…

Kurkuri Masala Bhindi {Indian Style Crispy Okra Fry}
My husband loves okra, but he has just one condition, it must be super crispy. He has the same philosophy when it comes to eggplant as well. Over the years, I have convinced him it is better to forego texture for health and he has somewhat reluctantly agreed. That’s how I ended up creating my…
Whole Roasted Chicken {Seasoned With Sumac And Piri Piri Sauce}
Many people who cook will fondly recollect time spent cooking with their mothers since childhood. But me, not so much really. Of course, like most children, I may have been excited at the prospect of playing with flour and dough and in general, being more of a nuisance than help. I have to thank my…
