White Hot Chocolate with Coconut Milk

December 14, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

White Hot Chocolate with Coconut Milk

It was a welcome pleasure.

As I got down from the car, the winds hit me in my face at 60 mph (at least it felt like it).  My hair was flying everywhere. I hadn’t read or listened to the news.  After picking up  the boys, my older one went on and on about how there is going to be a big storm coming our way.  Not knowing the severeness, I turned on the radio station. …

GIFT BASKET-Hot Chocolate gift basket

December 9, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

 

GIFT BASKET-Hot Chocolate gift basket

We are a bunch of hot chocolate lovers. Now, that comes with its own disadvantages. The drink has to be a certain consistency; the teen needs it a bit bitter, and the little one needs it lighter. So my hot chocolate is always a bit on the thicker side.

This recipe is quite a rich chocolate drink and quite an indulgence.

SPICY FENNEL ROASTED POTATOES

Welcome to my new space!!!

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving!

We did, and I am excited for my new little space here.

When the thoughts of writing snippets along with food came to mind, blogging was the way to go.  Since I procrastinate so much, it helped that my then 12 yr old opened up a blogger account and jumpstarted the blog. That’s the story of how this blog was created.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

There are a couple of reasons I am super hyped for this post.

ZESTY AUTUMN VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOUP

November 15, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

ZESTY AUTUMN VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOUP
It was Friday night, and the kids didn’t care what they ate.  All they wanted was to take a break, relax, and do nothing.  After a few days of binge eating and carb overload, we all had to eat a bit cleaner for a few days.  The good thing is, the kids love to eat healthy food, but only when it tastes good. When they help make it, it’s even better! ;). I called them to come up with their own ingredients for a soup(little did they know I had it all planned).  The little one chose the vegetables, the teen chose beans, and we had a winning combo. I asked them to chop, clean, and organize. I had the base ready, and they put things together; it’s that simple. They enjoyed it and were thrilled that they came up with it :).…

ALMOND AND SAFFRON VALENTINE PIES

February 12, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

ALMOND AND SAFFRON PIES

Friendship Day was the most popular college celebration I knew of when I was growing up.  Seriously, I never celebrated Valentine’s Day until the last year of my graduation. It was so interesting and fun to see girls buying cards for their Valentine. They got so giddy over it!

On Valentine’s Day, you could see girls dressed their best. They wait for their Valentine to come with red roses.  Few guys did come, and the rest were jealous.  The four(my friends and I) did not have much excitement on the day and tried to get past the day without being too embarrassed or annoyed. This happened for years.

DOSA- A SOUTH INDIAN SPECIALITY

February 5, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

DOSA with PEANUT CHUTNEY(a perfect South Indian breakfast)
Imagine going to your in-laws’ home for the first time, that itself is nerve wrecking(it was for me). How would you react if they ask you to make dosa?  It was quite overwhelming. At that time, I didn’t know how to make coffee to save my life, leave alone the art of making a perfect crispy dosa.  I slowly made my way to the kichen, kept the flat iron pan, and started making my dosas. That was not so bad until my father-in-law came and said, “hold on, let me show you how to make a proper dosa”(in a nice tone).  My ego was hurt, and I was not a happy girl.

Back at my parents’ home, we did make dosa, but it is not as popular as it is in some parts of Southern India. My hubby comes from Coimbatore, a place known for its idli and dosa.  Well, along the years, I’ve learnt much traditional cooking from my in laws, and I love their cooking style.

SAVORY WHOLE GRAIN WAFFLES

January 23, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

Whole Grain Savory Waffle

How are you’ll doing? Hope you are keeping yourself warm and safe.  
What have I been up to?? 
Not a lot.  Watched a very bad movie, infact the worst Indian movie ever and it had the biggest cast.  
Ran 6 miles today after taking a break for a while, feels AMAZING.
Ohhh and by the way, watching episodes of STAR GATE.  I remember watching it long back.  Now on Season 2 and I am quite addicted now. After the boys are in bed, hubby and I watch at least four episodes, loving it.
And also made a huge batch of these waffles.

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI WITH ASIAN DRESSING

January 15, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

CRISPY ROASTED FLORETS WITH SPICY ASIAN DRESSING1

It has been a good couple of weeks. I am trying to get back on track with my workouts and a good healthy diet.  I’ve always been consistent with workouts, in fact I can overdo a bit but the results are definitely well worth it.  Although my parents beg to differ, they hate to see the skinny me.  Food, on the other hand is something I love too much to be eating less portions and healthy all the time.  So I have to come up with tasty alternative which are liked by all.  I am so glad that my boys are into salads and smoothies.  
This was our light dinner for the day, with a cantaloupe smoothie (cantaloupe, strawberry, and coconut water).   …
