When these Snickerdoodle Cookies were baking in the oven, we felt like we were passing by Auntie Anne's store. Maybe it is just me but I have always associated cinnamon sugar with Auntie Anne's pretzels as I am definitely #teamcinnamonsugar when it comes to pretzels or churros. So what is a Snickerdoodle? Well, basically they are a cinnamon lover's dream!…
My social media account is filled with people uploading pictures of their snow holidays. Every other person is going somewhere and almost all the pictures they post look like wallpaper. The closest I have been to snow is the frost that builds up in my mom’s fridge. True story! Nevertheless, it is some consolation that the weather has been pretty…
Hello beautiful people, how have you been? I was under the weather earlier this week with my temperature being on the higher side. I was almost convinced that I can do a sunny side up on my forehead. Well, I'm feeling pretty okay now, might experiment with the sunny side up on another day. The weather has been quite unpredictable over…
A month to Christmas! Who is excited?? *Raises up 2 hands in the air*. Christmas trees, Jack-o-lanterns, turkeys, snowmen and pumpkin spice lattes! Oh, bring it on! I would usually have a small Christmas get-together with my cousins and I'm so excited to come up with a menu for our dinner. :D Anyways, there is still some time for Christmas…
I was always looking out for a good cheese muffin recipe. Something that is savory, buttery, and cheesy all at once. Obviously, the search has ended with this recipe. Oh, It was my birthday last week. 2nd November to be exact. Had a small hotpot/bbq with the family. Small and cozy, pretty much perfect. I also had like 9 birthday…
Namaste beautiful people! Diwali, the brightest of all Hindu celebrations is fast approaching. It is definitely a festival that is close to my heart. <3 . Prior to moving to this new house, I had an Indian neighbor for about 20 years and I always enjoyed seeing their house buzzing with activities a few…
Hello beautiful people! Are you also in a habit of spending $10 on a Starbucks drink every now and then? I am certainly one of those, however, it’s rarely $10 coz I would usually have someone tagged along with me. Most of the time it’s my niece. So we are looking at expenses of $20 for 2 ventis. Is it…
Do you guys have some customary traditional food that you prepare only on special occasions or festivals? Let's say, maybe a specific pie that your mom bakes only during Christmas. Basically, food that makes its appearance only once or twice a year. My family has two things I would say. Mom used to make them every Eid and now she…
The eldest brother came over to my place a few days back. I cooked Asam pedas fish as it is one of his favorites. Obviously, I had to make a dessert as well. I am someone who wants to overdeliver when it comes to entertaining guests. It does not happen every time but if I had my way, I would…
I’m torn. Whenever I am busy, I wish I had more time to laze around. Now that I have been pretty much lazing around for the past two days, I hate how it is proving to be counter-productive. I feel a sense of satisfaction when I get things done, whether it is getting the laundry done or even mopping the…
