Bread and Breakfast, Lunch

4th of July Berry Sandwiches

July 3, 2013 by Rakhee

I've never been much of a bread kind of person. Growing up in India, I liked bread but only the flatbread, indian sort. I never tired of my daily dose of parantha or chapatti. And since some 15 years ago, when I seemed to have had a gene that didn't allow me to put on an ounce of Read More »

Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes

So, when it's 54°F or 12°C outside, raining cats and dogs, when it's really supposed to be a warm spring day, what do you do? And, it's also your nephew's 17th birthday, what do you do? AND, your baby girl has no school and invites a friend over. What the heck do you do? You Read More »

Garlic is a precious and loved spice in my kitchen Garlic is a precious and loved spice in my kitchen. My kid actually digs her nose to savor its aroma when I cook with it. Indian food wouldn't be what it is for me without it. And what a ton of health benefits. Our ancestors knew their stuff. See my stories for some benefits that worked for me.

It's been a while and so many of you have been so It's been a while and so many of you have been so kind to constantly ask me what's up. I think I owe you all some answers. My health has been up and down. Don't know if it's serious or not yet 😊 and an existential crisis continues. Well to be fair I've been in one for 30 years 🤣.
I've missed being here (the honest connections) and then again not (the intense superficiality). At my age the competition is too much (been there done that) and the blatant discrimination too much to handle. 
At the crux of it all I think I failed because I couldn't keep up.
Right now I'm charging up... it's taking the longest... must be my old bones needing all that power!
.
I spend my time cooking old favorites though, for people in my life that just don't want anything else haha. So here is a plum galette because they are in season and so delicious. I made it few days ago and it was gone the same day. 💕
.
So here's me saying hello again and a thank you for sticking with me.

Much love - Rakhee
