Creating content for this blog is fun most of the time. I love experimenting with recipes (the kitchen clean up afterwards not so much.), taking photos, and editing photos. The part about blogging that I dread the most is writing; sometimes I know exactly what to write and then there are times (95% of the time) I am staring at the computer screen with a blank stare. I am not a writer, my grammar is not the best, and a lot times I wish I could hire a ghost writer to write my post. Any writers out ...

Healthy chicken cauliflower fried rice
Hello! I am Surati I run this blog, I feel the need to re-introduce myself because I am pretty sure you might have forgotten about me. I haven’t posted anything for over a month and I would like to apologize for it. During my time away I have been cooking a lot but haven’t felt the desire to take photos, write a post, and jot down a precise recipe. I will be frank I have enjoyed my time away from the blog, but it’s time to return back to creating content like this easy recipe for Healthy chicken ...
Lemon Garlic Spaghetti Squash
Happy New Year friends! Holiday season has come to an end and so has the season of indulgence. It’s time for a detox and to rejuvenate ourselves, so we can feel our best in this new year. For the month of January, the recipes I will be posting will focus more on healthy balanced eating. The recipes will still be scrumptious because healthy eating doesn’t equate to eating grilled chicken and steamed veggies everyday (Boring!). My first recipe post for this year is a delish lemon garlic spaghetti ...
Grilled romaine lettuce salad with roasted butternut squash salsa
It’s been a while since I have enjoyed a good crunchy hearty salad. I’ll be honest I am not an avid salad eater, but usually in the summer I get into a salad eating kick. A week ago, I got a major craving for a salad while watching an episode of the chef’s life (PBS cooking show).On the show, the chef was making a scrumptious grilled lettuce and persimmon salad. Taking inspiration from the show, I recreated my version of a grilled lettuce salad. I swapped the persimmon for butternut squash, ...
Chinese egg drop soup
This thanksgiving I really overindulged and when I returned home I needed to detox. I have been sticking to making super simple meals consisting of big bowls of soup. I make a lot of different types of soups, but lately my go-to has been this Chinese egg drop soup. Egg drop soup is one of my all-time favorite soups to eat at Chinese restaurants. It’s a soup that I also love making at home along with my sweet corn soup. Chinese egg drop soup is easy to whip up, healthy, and light. This ...
Indo Chinese sweet corn soup with chili vinegar
My husband and I are opposites in many ways, especially when it comes to our food preferences. I adore vegetables while he absolutely despises them, he loves things on the sweeter side and I’m more of a savory gal, you get the drift.The one thing we both mutually love though is soup, specifically sweet corn soup. We eat soup throughout the year: during breezy spring time, sultry summer heat, crisp fall, and especially chilly winter. Just call us the soup connoisseurs, we adore it. It is ...
Quick 10-Minute Lemon Cauliflower rice
I am eternally grateful to the person who came up with the brilliant idea for cauliflower rice. I don't have what you call the skinny gene, so literally, I have to be watchful of everything I eat. If I am not, it's very easy for me to start expanding. Thank you for the genetics Mom and Dad. I still love you! That being said, I can't really afford to be eating rice all the time, even though I would love to. The other thing is my husband despises rice. He is an anomaly. He doesn't like ...
Simple garlicky Dal
Dal (lentil stew) to me is like a good bowl of chicken soup to others. It is just comfort in a bowl. To be honest I was not always a fan of it. While growing up my parents use to make lentils and rice at least once a week for dinner. On those days I would magically lose my appetite. I appreciated the goodness of lentils only when I got older. I like my parents make it at least once a week for dinner and it is seriously one of my favorite things to eat. There are many different types of lentils ...
