I’m sure you know by now that I have a huge sweet tooth and will always given in to something chocolatey. I was bored one day and was really in the mood for a strawberry shortcake, but I wanted chocolate as well. So what better way to combine chocolate and strawberries than in a cupcake?! …
Even though orzo is an Italian pasta, I feel like it doesn’t have to be cooked in a traditional Italian manner. Then again, nothing has to be cooked with rules or regulations (that’s why I love to cook!). When I think of orzo I think Italian, Moroccan and a bit Middle Eastern. So I basically …
* Before you continue reading, do not judge my pictures in this post. I forgot to take my beloved Sony G-Lens camera, so all of the pictures were taken via my iPhone 4S (they didn’t come out THAT bad!) I haven’t written a Restaurant Review in a while, not because I’m lazy but because I’m …
Usually when its Winter time, I think of warm beverages, fireplaces and sweets that are on the comforting side. We’ve been making these yummy cranberry sweetheart scones for years at my house. They’re sweet, tart, buttery and so good with tea! I kinda feel a little British while eating these.. no but really I do. …
First off I would like to say- Sorry for being so MIA! I’ve had an extremely hectic Christmas and New Year’s weekend, and I would rather NOT go into detail about it.

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’ve been busy moving into my own new apartment in the city!! Yes, living the independent life in my own studio 🙂 Some of my …
If you happened to be in India a week ago, you would be well aware of Diwali– our New Year, roughly translated into the “Festival of Lights.” It is one of our (and when I say our I’m referring to Indian people haha) biggest celebrations of the year, and has a religious as well as …
I cannot tell you the number of times that my family and I have gone to restaurants where they serve French Onion Soup and we can NEVER eat it. Why? Because one the primary ingredients is beef broth!! UGH SO ANNOYING. It always looks so bubble, so cheesy, so yummy and delicious, and in the …
