Can you ask for more deliciousness in ONE meal?   Did you notice we are almost at the end of May? Another month passes us by as we start looking forward to warmer days and LOTS of Summer activities. As the days get longer and warmer, we make TONS of plans for family trips, barbeque evenings and long long road trips. When we have the entire plan set for an upcoming weekend, I hate to wake up with a terrible headache. Worse still, when I end up with back ache coupled with headache. I already have reservations made for the day and I think I will have to pass the plan thanks to the awful ache. That is when I trust  Extra Strength TYLENOL® . Available at Target, this one he...

All opinions are mine alone. #FoundMyDelight #CollectiveBias A childhood favorite grows up in the form of a wonderful coffee. This cotton candy coffee is what you need all summer long! The scorching heat of Summer is on! All I can think of is a range of chilled drinks to enjoy through the day. Whether it is juice, coffee or cold drinks, we are up for everything all day long.  It is fun to make a lot of flavorful drinks at home and enjoy them with family. I prefer to do that rather than visiting a coffee store each time. However it may not always be feasible to make a new drink every now and then. For those times I LOVE to have  International Delight® Iced Coffee on a few cubes of ice. And yes, they make a great starter for an array of chilled drinks you can enjoy all summer long!  Recently I brought home  International Delight® Iced Coffee from Walmart . These coffees come in half gallon pa...

When Indo-Chinese meets South Indian, a delicious dosa recipe emerges. This Noodle Dosa is addictive, yet super easy to make!  Dosa, a simple crepe made from rice and lentil has gone too far with respect to innovation. From the simple Sada Dosa and Masala Dosa we have graduated to Chinese Dosa, Maggi Dosa, Paneer Chilli Dosa and what not! Everytime I visit my favorite street vendor in Mumbai, he has a range of new flavors that are almost beyond my imagination!  While some combinations are really unique, the rest are super delicious and easy to make at home. Among the newer combinations, the one with noodles and schezwan sauce is my favorite. I am a fan of Indo-Chinese food and Dosas is on my go-to list of comfort foods. So when there is a recipe that combines the two, I cannot not like it. I have tried various versions of this dosa based on what I have had in India and how we like our dosa. This one turned out to be our favorite. With a teaspoon of Schezwan Sauce in each dosa ...

A perfect combination of chocolate and strawberries that is colorful, delicious and easy to make. A summer treat that everyone needs to try! Strawberries are in season and I am making a TON of recipes using them. From milkshake to cake and from ice cream to chocolate dipped berries. We went a couple of weekends ago to pick strawberries. The berries there were super bright colored and looked amazing!  While we had initially decided to bring home only a pound or so, we ended up with FOUR pounds of berries to finish between the two of us! We made glass of milkshake, roasted half a pound of berries and made a couple of smoothie bowls too.  Then I wanted to make a cake that was full of strawberries. I thought I would make a strawberry cream cake. My husband is a fan of chocolate cakes. Thus, I changed my mind and made a chocolate strawberry cake. The sweetness of chocolate and the fruity flavor of strawberry came together really well in the cake. I started to wonder why I had not c...

An instant version of Jalebis; sinful crisp fried spirals dunked in sugar syrup. This Indian version of Funnel cakes make a perfect dessert or breakfast recipe! Jalebi, those rounds of crispy fried flour dunked in sugar syrup. The dessert that everybody enjoys! Some people dunk it in milk, some in rabdi and the rest enjoy it for breakfast with gathiya.  Jalebi is one of the most popular desserts at weddings. A live counter of jalebi is pretty common now. A person makes fresh jalebi there and it is served with rabdi or vanilla ice cream. Everytime I think of a wedding, I instantly dream of the orange yellow rounds of goodness! I have a traditional recipe of jalebi  on the blog. However, it needs a lot of planning to make them. So I started making this instant version. Now, with this recipe, Sundays are so much better. We plan to make jalebi in the morning and we are enjoying hot breakfast in under 30 minutes! A typical Gujarati breakfast combination of home-made jalebi and stor...
