All last weekend I craved for cookies, not any cookie but a cookie which was different. As far as my cookie craving went, it had to have figs(I had em’ sitting in my pantry for days staring at me), had to have hazelnut spread and should be great to pack as a gift.
I’ve wanted to make these for months now. The time was right, I had a few hours to myself, the first box of cookies that I made to give friends are here.

Teen(running down, composed, soft yet strong tone)-“Mom, he tore the cover of my favorite book.”
8 yr old(following the teen, high pitched and talking fast)- “Mom it was an accident!”
Me(cooking in the kitchen, I want to be left alone. In a slow tone)- “Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Teen(still composed)- “Give him a thinking time.”
Me(sighing)..”I just want to get my dinner ready, and I’ll deal with this later”.
Teen(disappointed and irritated)- “Not fair mom…” and goes away.

Festivals are fun. Festivals in India are very colorful. Whats your favorite festival/holiday?
It’s one of those festive weeks for Indians. It’s called Ganesh Pooja. The festival of THE ELEPHANT GOD.
Throughout India, people celebrate this festival. It’s colorful, bright, with people singing,chanting, music screaming everywhere, it’s a beautiful atmosphere.
Kids dress up in their new clothes, visit family and friends. It’s a time when people unite in streets to decorate and it’s a big grand affair.

I am not Vegan.
I eat gluten in some form every day.
Healthy food habits…not all the time.
We do go sometimes Vegan for a week, just to see how it feels. Being a South Indian, rice is a huge part of our daily meals, we naturally follow a gluten free diet to a certain extent.
Now about eating and following a healthy lifestyle, wish I was more consistent with it. We eat quite healthy, actually very healthy, but after a good healthy meal, we go out for Gelato:). My new favorite flavor FicoPistachio, oh yum.
OK, I don’t eat ice cream everyday, but I need a sweet something after dinner time. Do you crave a dessert after your dinner?

Cocoa, chocolate chips, chocolate covered almonds and coffee beans. Cookies.
We adore them. It’s the BEST!- I’ve heard( not too humble huh..). I can’t restrict myself in calling them the best.
If there’s one thing kids ask(almost demand) when they come to our place, are these cookies. Now coming to think of it, I’m not too sure it’s just them asking or one chocoholic teen who makes them ask…

Hope you had fun with fireworks and food!!
As far as making cookies go, I am ready for them any time of the day. Maybe I was meant to be a bakers daughter. I can eat them anytime and I can bake them anytime. They have become my obsession. I also want to do a weekly dedication to cookies from around the world. Ain’t that a fun idea?
I have loyalties towards my cookies, I hope that there is an unsaid limit to the number of cookies a food blogger can post.

It’s one those blah days. Weather is dull, and in turn dragging everybody down. I haven’t ticked off half the things I have to do for the week and another list is already awaiting. With the weather like this, I just want to cozy up in my bed, with the heater to my left, coffee to warm up and a good novel for company. Shaking my beautiful thoughts away, have a bunch of chores to get done. But I cannot resist the urge to whip a batch of the simplest biscuits/cookies every.
