Khandvi - Indian Cooking Challenge

I missed almost all the previous Indian Cooking Challenges, but not this one! I would never give up an opportunity to make khandvi...its one of my favorite Gujarati snacks. They don't always come out great and even this time I barely used half the batter, the rest was too cold to spread:(. But I did enjoy the challenge and the dish was awesome. I made it this morning and after some quick pictures we had it for breakfast...a welcome change. YUMM!!

Mocha Chocolate Chip Muffins

Wish you all A Very Happy and Healthy New Year!! The past year was full of moments that will be cherished forever and there is so much to look forward to this year. My daughter will be one in a short while, it's all happening too fast and watching her grow is such an incredible experience. Needless to say our life revolves around her. She babbles constantly and cruises around nonstop exploring every nook and corner of our home. All my time is spent chasing her and I'm enjoying every minute of it. Here's a picure of my little one...

I barely have time to complete my usual work but I miss blogging so much! I really can't stay away any longer, so here I am hoping to blog regularly. Thank u all so much for your warm wishes after my last post.

I haven't been cooking anything extravagant, just some easy n quick dishes.

I baked these muffins last week and they were amazing. Recipe is adapted from here. Just made a few healthy changes...

Happy Mother's Day!!

It was my first mother's day and though my doll isn't old enough to wish me, she sure gifted me with her cutest smiles today. Didn't sleep a wink and insisted on being carried the whole day, guess she wanted to spend every minute of the day with me :).

A New Life...Meet our Bundle of Joy

Here's introducing the newest addition to our family...my baby girl, Anushka, who turned one month yesterday. The last month has been an adventure really...one exciting day after another. Its so much fun as she now recognizes us, makes adorable sounds when we talk to her, sleeps in such cute poses, rewards us with an occasional precious smile...I could go on and on :).

As for cooking, hopefully I'll post something soon before this blog is declared dead:).
