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….
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…
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…
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…
Strawberry Ice Cream
My love for ice cream is legendary, so much so that my hubby has to keep a close watch on me whenever we pass the frozen dessert aisle at the grocery store. My all-time favorite flavor is creamy vanilla, there is something so comforting about a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Then comes coffee, butter…
Asparagus, Peas And Egg Masala
I love it that we are introduced to so many varieties of produce here, some familiar and some not so familiar ones. The end of winter is always a welcome sign. Spring brings with it some gorgeous produce. Not that I don’t enjoy winter melons and squashes. Still, I feel there is something special about…
Papaya Agua Fresca
The papaya is a highly under-appreciated fruit. When you think of tropical fruits, pineapple and mango comes to mind, but papaya seldom makes an impression. Growing up, we always had a tree or two of papaya in our garden. It is an extremely easy crop to grow if you have the right tropical conditions, of…
Homemade Strawberry Jam
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,…
Mango Ice Cream Sundae {With Honey Roasted Cashews, Raspberries And Chocolate}
Drop what you’re doing and just ogle at this beauty, will ‘ya? You know you want it, I know you do! This is my second homemade ice cream recipe for this season and I went all out this time. Last month, I tried my hand at a vegan coconut milk version, but seriously, if you…
