I feel like okra (or ladyfingers) is a really underrated vegetable. I also feel like okra is primarily used in the south (in gumbo, fried up, etc), but not so much in the northeast. I almost feel like people don’t really know what to do with okra. Okra is extremely versatile. There are SO many …
Beautiful flower arrangement in my lobby (they change it weekly)! Hello everyone! So if you’re wondering why I’ve been so M.I.A it’s because I have a legitimate excuse! I swear!

I think this is the first time in the history of Hinduism that Ganesh was fed a cupcake.. or anything vegan for that matter! I actually hate color pink, but I must say these look quite impressive 🙂 For the past 5 days we, as in my family, have been celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi- the celebration …
This past weekend was my middle sister Puja’s engagement party! This past weekend was also the most unnecessarily hyped-up Hurricane of the decade- Hurricane Irene.
