December 2, 2020 By Asha Shivakumar

Crispy, quick and easy homemade crackers under 20 minutes! It is as easy as that.  This whole wheat healthy cracker recipe, made with pepper, 3 ingredients comes together in few minutes. Perfect on a cheese board or for gifts. Thanks to Sante for sponsoring this post. Crafted in small batches, Santé‘s lightly-candied pecans are distinctively crunchy for the perfect, plant-based snack.

I don’t think I’m alone in falling back on cliché to express what has, for the most part, felt inexpressible. The unprecedented. The thing to do, I guess, is parse what I really mean when I fall back on the clichés that have come to define this very strange time.

What’s not strange is the love of home made food that has grown hundred fold. People have started making sourdough, yogurt, spiced crackers and more.

These spiced easy crackers have been made quite a lot of times at home. They are healthy and you can make it your own by adding any flavorings. What I love during the holidays is to make a cheese board gift box or basket with crackers, Santé Candied Pecans, and cheese.…

It’s a delicious combo of different kinds of chocolate, condensed milk, with a touch of coffee too.

I saw this on Pinterest a couple of years ago and had pinned it, and I finally decided to make it this year.  Here is the original idea  Inakatrinakitchen. What a delicious idea, and it’s so great for edible gifts.

‘Tis the season of giving, of togetherness and support.  A sensitive subject I’d like to touch upon during this season of giving is giving credit….

5 RIDICULOUSLY EASY AND BEAUTIFUL DIY MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS

May 10, 2017 By Asha Shivakumar

Happy Mother’s Day!!!!

I am a big lover of handmade gifts and these ridiculously easy and beautiful DIYs are perfect for moms.  They also make great gifts for friends and end of the year teacher’s gifts.

I wanted to get this post up before the weekend.  Hope you get to make one of this and impress your mom, friends or teachers.

  1. A universally appealing gift.   This pretty marbled clay ring dish is probably the easiest that I’ve made which looks quite like it came from Anthropologie.  I have found that not mixing the colors too much gives the best results, and lighter clay is gorgeous for ring or knick knacks. I got my clay from Amazon  and baked it at 275 degrees for 2 hours and left it in the convection oven overnight.  I make them a little thicker so it looks quite sturdy and is not delicate.  Here is the link of the Marbled dish, it is beautiful with step by step.5 RIDICULOUSLY EASY AND BEAUTIFUL DIY MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS |foodfashionparty| #mothersdaygift #Diygifts
