There’s something deliciously satisfying and cooling about warm fresh toppings on creamy and cool ice cream. Berries are the best during the summer time, and we tend to buy tons of them in our house. But as you know, they don’t have a very long shelf life. That’s when I make this delicious mixed berry …

A lot of what I make is based on what’s good in the grocery store that day. Earlier this weekend, I went to the grocery store just to get 2 items. But of course, I cam out with 5 bags full of unnecessary (but very necessary) items. I found some beautiful fresh Poblanos and instantly …
Do you ever get a craving for a simple grilled cheese sandwich? Something gooey and delicious and full of carbs and cheesy goodness? Yah, I get these cravings all the time, but if I ate what I craved all the time, I’d probably be a beluga whale. But I do like to reasonably indulge from …
Last weekend a legend passed away: Michele Ferrero the owner of Nutella (not to mention the richest man in Italy) died on Valentine’s Day (of all days!!!). In his honor, I had to use Nutella this past weekend (let’s be honest, it was just another excuse for me to use Nutella). Recently my mom made …

I started my new job last week and found out that there are a ton of perks. One is being able to sign up for a bi-weekly organic vegetable delivery in the summer-fall months, and a percentage of the proceeds goes to charity. I actually don’t know all the details, but what I do know …
I love making omlettes – they’re super easy to make, fast, and full of protein. I’ve been off for the past 2 weeks, as I’m in between jobs and was lucky enough to have some time off! I pretty much made breakfast every morning since I had the time to. I made a particularly delicious …
As soon as April-May comes, I go on a watermelon binge for the rest of the Spring-Summer. I think I’m slightly obsessed – I can pretty much eat an entire watermelon in one sitting by myself. Clearly, I don’t know how to eat in moderation. This time around, I decided to share my watermelon with …
I really like bread salads, and I feel like each type of cuisine has their own version of bread salad. I know my moms makes an Indian bread salad, that’s made with regular white bread, onions, curry leaves and Indian spices. They’re really filling and hearty. One night last week we were having Italian night, …
