Corn and Avocado Salsa

May 26, 2014

Hello Skinny People on the blog! Hope everyone had a fulfilling weekend. So how does it feel when someone calls you skinny? I think in the past, it would have been quite offensive but thanks to those darn sized zero models, being skinny is considered cool now. It's the "in" thing and basically fashionable. I am pretty sure that zero sized models…

The beauty must be seen from in her eyes, because that's the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. To all the beautiful mothers out there, a very happy Mother's Day to you. Despite…

Slow Roasted Tomatoes

April 24, 2014

I love oven-roasted tomatoes. They have incredibly intense flavors and when chopped up, they make a great condimento for pasta! Tomatoes somehow get quite intensified after roasting. I just love the intoxicating aroma that lingers around the kitchen while the tomatoes are roasting away with the garlic, herbs and olive oil. Yums! I have tried roasting tomatoes using various approaches. Nigella's would…

You know at times, when you have typed out an email or a blog post, despite after checking at least 129 times, you would still end up misspelling certain words even though you know the right spelling?

Avocado and Fresh Mozzarella Salad

June 22, 2013

I love salads. Love is an understatement because I LOVEEEEEEEEE salads. If there is 1 food that can turn me into a vegetarian, then it has to be a good avocado and fresh mozzarella salad.
