Bedtime sucks. Seriously. I like the idea of bedtime–a relaxed routine of baths, pajamas and stories. It sounds delightful. Except that it’s not. Putting my toddler to sleep is far from delightful, in fact it’s become a full fledged battle. And I’ll give you one guess who is winning… My strong-willed child begs for another […]
It’s no secret that I don’t really love many vegetables. Especially green vegetables. I tolerate them because I know they’re good for me, but I can’t say that I actually look forward to eating them. These green beans are a complete exception! I first tasted this recipe a few years ago when we were traveling […]
When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, my husband and I decided that once the baby arrived I’d give up my job and stay home with the kids. It’s a practical decision, and we’re practical people. Daycare is expensive and currently, in Rochester, infant care is nearly impossible to find. It’s […]
There are few desserts as rich and delicious as cheesecake. Personally, I prefer cookies, but Piyush–who swears he does not like sweets!–is definitely a “cheesecake man.” In fact, he likes it so much that it’s all he wanted for Christmas. No presents, just cheesecake. Heck, that’s easy enough! I first made this particular cheesecake during […]
Lately I’ve been making some recipes that require many different steps or “recipes” within the recipe. To make it easier on me (and probably for you, too!), I’ve decided to split these recipes up into a few different posts. Because I want to share this stellar Lemon Cheesecake with Blackberry and Ginger Spiced Topping (jam) […]
Hello Readers! It’s been quite some time since my last post–too long, actually. Since returning from India I’ve found myself incredibly swamped. Between unpacking from our trip and entertaining for the holidays, I simply haven’t had the time to sit down and blog. I also haven’t had time to moderate comments/emails, so please bear with […]
Anda Curry is one of Piyush’s favorite dinners. It’s inexpensive, incredibly quick to throw together and is super simple to make! In fact, it’s so easy that Piyush is usually the one who makes this dish for himself–although his recipe is completely different than mine. He likes his curries “watery” and I prefer mine thick. […]
This post has been a long time coming. I’ve started writing it (what seems like) a million times, but no matter how hard I’ve tried to finish…it just wasn’t happening. The phone would ring. A time sensitive email would show up in my inbox. Piyush would want the laptop to practice Chess–he’s a competitive player, […]
Allow me to introduce you to one of my absolute favorite Indian dishes, Pohe! Since Pohe is traditionally made and served in the west of India–specifically around Maharashtra– it’s not something most Bengali families would grow up eating. Luckily for me (and you all!), Maa (my mother-in-law) learned to cook Pohe while Baba (father-in-law) worked […]
Last week Piyush and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. He had to work for the day so I decided to make him a delicious meal before picking him up from the office and whisking him away to watch The Great Gatsby. Before I get into all the details of the curry, I’ve got to […]
