Happy Ganesha Chaturthi to all who celebrate!!
It is one of the biggest festivals of India this week. It is the birth of Ganesha, the Elephant God. To me, I love the vibes that this festival brings. I’m enamored with the colors and the mood it creates.

It’s a perfect combination of nuttiness and creaminess with a touch of coffee. The coffee cream is very subtle and works like magic in this cake. It’s a coffee lover’s dream cake. Happy Father’s Day to everyone around! Happy father’s day to my pops who has the biggest sweet tooth!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
There are a couple of reasons I am super hyped for this post.
One: Cardamom and Saffron, a match made in food world, is not only a favorite of mine but also of many. Isn’t there something great about it?. Close your eyes and think of those two spices. The warmth and the sweetness just engulfs you.

Somethings are great in theory.
Like the Mazda Miata I wanted. Can you imagine driving the kids and carpooling?..NO, so not practical.
Like the beautiful apple tree we bought and thought that we would see apples in couple of years, it’s got the same number of leaves on it as the day we bought it.
Like the good intention to wake up at 4.00 a.m. for my workout.
Like the time we wanted a dog. We dog sat our friend’s little shih tzu and we loved him. Just that he loved my sandals too, he would nag us to take him out every time. I love animals, but in no rush to get one.

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.

Happy Monday Friends. How was your weekend?
Our weekend just flew by with the realization that there’s only two more weeks of summer vacation. We are trying to fit in dinners with friends, cooking workshops and a lot of movies in between.
The boys seem like they are in no rush to start their routine. I can say they’ve having fun.
My teen has learnt how to make lunch to survive at least.He made some balsamic noodles and they were good, maybe a bit too strong for my taste, but he loved it.

My life during weekends is a never ending marathon with constant pauses to think whether I forgot an event or did I forget a birthday the kid had to attend. So this was one of those calm couple of days, where I didn’t step out to greet the beautiful weather California is witnessing. But, that didn’t stop the kids from their routine with their dad who happily chauffered them around.
Between the laundering, cooking, reading…… my sweet tooth required immediate attention. Didn’t wanna eat the remains of the cake, nor the ice cream which was screaming at me…So, the health nut side of me decided to make GRANOLA. I had Greek Yogurt(one of my new faves), so let’s toss in Granola and have that for dessert tonight. Sounds, good right..
