If you enjoy Indian food on a regular (or even semi-regular) basis, you have probably heard of the samosa. The samosa is to India what the “Hot Pocket” is to America…only it has a million times more flavor. And no cheese. And includes vegetables. Okay, it’s nothing like a Hot Pocket. It’s better! Way better. […]

Vegetarian Momos! …and Remembering Darjeeling
While on our trip to India, Piyush and I met tons of incredible people, visited many spectacular places and tried many different foods (well…different to me!). I didn’t really think too much about it while I was there, but now that I’m back home in the states…I can’t get Darjeeling out of my head! Darjeeling […]
Wild Mushroom and Marjoram Chicken
I started my morning off with a trip to the dentist. It’s not the most pleasant way to begin the day and truthfully I had no idea that I even had an appointment. There was some sort of a mix up at the office—they thought Piyush had an appointment at 7am, so they called […]
The Perfect Health(ier) Pizza!
I haven’t blogged lately, and it’s not because we haven’t been cooking and eating at home. In fact, I’ve cooked quite a bit. We’ve had blackberry-ginger glazed salmon, chicken biryani (these will all appear on the blog, eventually!), and homemade pizzas. I love Pizza. There is just something so mouth-watering about dough smothered in tomato […]
Monday Madness! and a Greek Inspired Dinner
I really enjoy Mondays. Though, I haven’t always. In fact I used to spend Tuesday-Sunday dreading the upcoming Monday. Extreme? Probably; but when I was young(er) with few(er) worries and responsiblies, Monday meant that the weekend was ending…and work/school was starting. Mondays were an unpleasant jolt back to reality, and I hated them for […]
Vegetarian Bean Taco Salad
I must be in a Mexican kinda mood, because it seems that’s all I feel like cooking lately! I’ve also felt like eating beans. Lots of beans. source (you can also click this link to learn about the health benefit of beans) When I was planning dinner the other day, I decided I’d make a […]
It’s Clemen-time!
You know what I love about winter? It’s not the snow or the cold (actually, I hate both of those things). It’s not even the holidays. Nope. What I love most about winter is the clementines! Look at this guy: One bite…and I was in love. It didn’t stand a chance. The only problem? (aside […]
Black Beans and Rice…Fancy Style!
Happy 2012! Everybody make some stellar resolutions for the new year? I did! …I resolve to see Paris in the spring (or summer)! …That’s a resolution, right? I haven’t thought all that much about it yet, but I’m going to figure out how to make it happen! My holiday weekend was spent working the early […]
“Dorthy’s Cookies”… a.k.a Chocolate Crinkles
Although winter in Minnesota is usually quite harsh—piles of snow deeper than I am tall, and temperatures that would make even an Eskimo cringe— this particular winter has been anything but normal. Its the end of December and it is nearly 40 degrees outside…at 10 pm! I’m not complaining…no sir-ree…in fact, I wish every winter […]
Fleur De Sel Soft Caramels
I wanted to give Piyush something special for Christmas this year. We decided not to exchange gifts because we had just returned from India—where we bought so many incredible things! We also splurged on a pool table for our family room earlier in the month, so there really wasn’t anything either one of us needed, […]
Meet The Spiced Up Mom
Hello! I’m Shari Mukherjee. I’ve got 2 kiddos-Arjun and Rohan. My husband, Piyush, is from India so we’re a multicultural family.
