This breakfast recipe is all you need to make your mornings ROCK! A recent trip to the Farmer's Market and I came home with THREE boxes of Blueberries. They are back in season and we cannot wait to feast on them! I am a big fan of berries, especially blueberries. I always make delicious recipes around this time of the year using them. This year my first blueberry recipe is a breakfast special. I combined my love for these berries with the morning cereal and came up with this recipe. Whenever I have blueberries in my recipe, I like to add either lemon or cinnamon. These ingredients make a perfect combination with the berries. So this recipe has it all; cereal, blueberries and cinnamon! Breakfast, the most important meal of the day should be healthy, yummy and yet ea...

Celebrate RED WHITE and BLUE with this easy to make pie. It has the goodness of fruits on a super flaky base! We are at the end of June, which means we have reached the half year mark already! It seems like yesterday that the year had just begun and now we are almost halfway through this year. The year so far has been great and I hope the rest is equally great.  While I have blogged for almost three years now, I have NEVER posted any recipe for July 4th! Either I realize too too late that the day is here or I am just thinking and thinking and July passes me by! This year I planned (yay!) and so I could post this one today. Though I am a little late, this recipe is SUPER EASY and even if you read it on July 3, you can make it on 4th. I promise!  Last week I was contemplating between fruit salad, cookies, cake and tart. Finally, I decided to make a tart, given that I had everything needed in my refrigerator. As I said, this recipe needs little preparation and can be made quickly...

Sweet, Spicy and colorful; this Virgin Margarita has everything you need to get through summer! Plus a beautiful SUNRISE in a glass!  Mangoes have been on my menu almost everyday now. Whether it is mango based chia pudding or mango kadhi or just chopped mango pieces for lunch, they HAVE been there!  After all the mangoes I have been eating lately, I wanted some in my drink too. That is how I came up with this mango drink. But I did not want a typical smoothie or juice or the like. I remembered how my friend used a magic potion to convert orange juice to a sunset! The magic potion is called Grenadine, a simple flavored syrup that is available in most grocery stores and alcohol stores.  I have used grenadine in a lot of orange drinks since I had the wonderful drink she made. Lately I started using it with mango juice too; given the similarity in color. However, mango and grenadine almost always overpowered the sweetness of the drink. So I added some Jalapeño, and boy it did...

A THREE ingredient TEN minute snack made from dates. These Chocolate Covered Dates are super delicious and healthy!   Ramadan  Kareem! The Holy month for Muslims is here and a large number of people are following the fast. This month holds a lot of significance in their religion and it is fascinating to see how they are able to fast all month long.  Through school and college I have had friends who keep the fast and that is where all my knowledge about Ramadan comes from. After a day long fast, they break their fast by dates and then consume other food items.  Dates has been an ingredient I have worked with in several recipes. From a Date sweetened Banana Bread to Sugar-Free Dates Anjeer rolls , I have used dates in other recipes too. The large size dates we get here are super juicy and full of flesh. I love to gobble them as is too, in case of a sudden sweet craving!  Last year we went to UAE and we visited a Dates market in Abu Dhabi. The market was super ama...
