Over Never – My Vegetarian Journey
Over Easy, Over Hard, Poached, Lightly Scrambled, Hard Boiled – I liked my eggs any which way. Breakfast was always a boiled egg and toast when I was a child. And adult life wasn’t much different. Eggs were the ticket to a quick home cooked meal even for lunch or dinner. But one day something…
Homemade Salsa Recipe – Mexican Restaurant Style
Salsa! Aaah..as I close my eyes, I can remember the mariachi music in the background, the smell of fresh fried tortilla chips and big earthern bowls of fresh, hot, spicy, zesty salsa!

Of Grape Juice and Goldilocks

Sweet Lullaby
Dear Child of Mine, I can see you cringe at the thought of being called a child. But you will always be a child to me. And believe me, the more you age, the more you will long to be a child again. You are entering a new phase of your life – motherhood. The…
All I Ask, the Heaven Above [Bucket List]
All I ask, the heaven above, and the road below me – these lines from Stevenson’s Vagabond have always stayed with me. When I heard of ‘Befikar Umar Bhar’ (Sans Worry All Your Life), I took a moment to sit down and think of my bucket list. One thing about life is certain. It is…
