A mousse recipe that will become your favorite is here. Inspired from Indian Paan, this egg and gelatin free green dessert is perfect for any party and beyond!! It is Holi tomorrow and I can barely wait! This festival of colors has been one of my favorite Indian festivals since I was a child. With colors, water filled balloons, worshipping the fire and yummy Holi themed food; I love it all.  Today as we are one day away, I am sharing a yummy recipe that is PERFECT for Holi parties; Paan flavored mousse. This flavor has been doing the rounds for a while and is super amazing. I did a post on Paan milkshake last year, and now have this mousse recipe.  Inspired from an Indian after mint that consists of a Betel leaf and various additions, this mousse is super easy to make and needs just a handful of ingredients. Plus this is a no cook recipe and free from eggs and gelatin. Though I am not a great fan of paan as is, I love recipes that use paan as an ingredient. From ladoos made u...

All opinions are 100% my own.   A bunny themed Carrot cake with hints of Orange; this one has a SWEET surprise within. Make this once and you will want it everyday! February is coming to an end already? I just got used to writing 2018 instead of 2017 everywhere and we are already at the end of TWO months! Time is flying for sure in our world. However, it is a different case in the bunny world!  Bunny world you ask? Yes I am talking about the cutest bunny movie  Peter Rabbit! I am a BIG fan of animation movies as they are the most colorful and fun things to watch. The last couple of times I watched movies at the theatre, I saw the trailer of Peter Rabbit. Since then I was super excited to watch the movie with my girlfriends. A movie themed on a rabbit has no better time to release than just before Easter. And Peter Rabbit is just that!  Perfectly timed, super fun movi...

Inspired by Brazilian Tapioca Pancakes; this TWO ingredient pancake from scratch is the breakfast recipe you have been looking for! It is Valentines Day tomorrow and today we are showcasing our Pancake skills for #BreadBakers! Our lovely hostess Wendy from A Day in the Life on the Farm  came up with the theme and I LOVED it. I was thinking of making something RED, given it is time to celebrate LOVE! A couple of years ago I posted  Red Velvet Aebleskiver Pancakes  for Valentines Day and I did not want to repeat something similar. So I opted for something that is different yet PERFECT for V-day; Brazilian Tapioca Pancakes.  These pancakes are traditionally made from tapioca flour and water. However, I had a BIG packet of mini tapioca in my pantry and tried these pancakes using them. The result was so pretty that I started making these with mini tapioca all the time.  Coincidentally this year Valentines Day falls on an Indian festival day; Mahashivratri. Celebrated...

I am partnering with OXO  to share this recipe from the new Healthyish Cookbook by Lindsay Maitland Hunt. #OXObetter #healthyishcookbook Make this yummy and wholesome soup for weeknight dinners. A delicious Cauliflower and Potato soup that is super creamy in spite of ZERO added cream! Spring almost refuses to arrive and the days are still a little chilly. The nights do tend to get super chilly and it is the perfect time to enjoy some yummy soups. I LOVE all kinds of soups; loaded, skinny and the ones made with a couple of canned ingredients.  This winter I made a TON of soups on almost all rainy days. I can never get enough of them and keep making some new ones every week. Most of the soups I make are pretty simple and need only a few ingredients. This soup is also like that; yummy, easy to make and super quick. It is THE soup I would want on any cold evening!  For those who know me as a student, I made really creative notes of important points for all the classes. I had ...
