Strawberry and Mango Smoothie

February 19, 2015

I am a huge fan of Berries. They are pretty, flavorful, taste amazing on cheesecakes and hold a long list of health benefits. When in season, berries are delicious on its own or with yogurt for a creamy, refreshing snack. When you do not get the best of the berries, smoothie'ing is the way to go. I wanted to do a…

It's the beginning of the week again? At the pace in which the days are moving, I am gonna be old and wrinkled in a matter of blinks. Last week was kinda hectic. A couple of bakes here and there but my favorite has to be this frozen cake for a 5 years old girl birthday. I'm a typical girl and…

Delicious Con Chili

February 2, 2015

I am a supermarket freak. I look forward to my weekly visits to the supermarket and occasionally I would visit bigger supermarkets that sell a whole range of imported stuff. Somehow, I would always end up going to the vegetables and salads aisle first, every time. I simply enjoy being among different kinds of tomatoes, salad and herbs. Weird much? It's…

Cooks who are capable of creating healthier dishes that taste equally delicious always gain my respect. As the days get busier, cravings for delicious food takes over. Creamy soup and lasagna for lunch at work. Pizza takeaway for dinner. Creme brulee for dessert anyone? What's not to love about the food mentioned above, right? Minus the calories though. There is more to these…

Peas Pulao Recipe

December 9, 2014

Half of the family members are currently away for a week. Initially I thought, this would be the best time for me to cook all the food that I want to blog about, without giving a thought as to what others may not eat. Reality was far from what I thought. Having to deal with the housework all alone and…

Orange and Carrot Smoothie

December 4, 2014

I’ve become a bit of a carrot addict lately. No, I do not munch away to carrots like how BUGS Bunny would. In fact, I am not a huge fan of raw carrots. I do not mind bits of pieces here and there, but I am definitely not one of those people who munch on carrot sticks. I like carrots in…

How was thanksgiving people? Mine was good *rubs tummy* It was so good for me that I felt guilt stricken and I ended up buying an overpriced box of soup that was supposed to be very healthy and it tasted HORRIBLE. Don't you just hate it when you spend your moolah on any kind food that seems so good on the packaging?…

Pina Colada Smoothie Recipe

November 17, 2014

My sleeping patterns have taken a drastic change. I spend the night sleeping in installments. If my sleeping hours were to be made into a movie, it would be a movie with part 1, part 2 and a part 3 (Read: a movie with sequels). I no longer sleep at a stretch, or rather I am not able to sleep…

I should be eating lettuce for the rest of the week and that too sans dressing and only a fork would be required. Reason is, I have had so many cakes on my birthday. I actually came up with a quote while eating all those cakes. "Only those who are loved so much gets more than 1 cakes on their…

Roasted Asparagus in Balsamic Butter Vinaigrette

October 27, 2014

Some of you might be looking at the title and going "Butter on Skinny Mondays"?? Butter in moderation is fine; not my words, but Dr. Ian Smith's. Yes, that is how I roll at times, echoing back whatever the specialist said. It is perfectly normal to quote someone else otherwise there wouldn't be a re-post feature on Instagram, a re-tweet tab on…
