Introducing solids to your baby at 6 months is a milestone not only for babies but for mothers as well. Searching for baby food recipes becomes a mission. Your mental equilibrium depends on how readily your baby eats all the food. Sounds about right, right? 🙂 Well that sure describes my state as a new …

Ever notice how almost all kids love potato dishes? My kiddo loves it and so did I when I was a kid; come to think of it I still do. This aloo gajar sabzi recipe I am sharing in this post is inspired by my dad’s  batata rassa (curry) recipe. He would make it for us when my …
Sonia has been communicating with me in the form of comments, and messages and posts on my Facebook page since the past six months at least. She posted this recipe on my Facebook page almost 4 months back. It’s taken me this long to get her to say yes for posting this recipe on the …

Slumber, reverie, fatigue, or sheer laziness—I don’t quite know how to describe my state in the past month. Maybe it was a combination of all these and more that resulted me in not posting anything for over a month. And it was not for lack of content. Thanks to the involvement and enthusiasm of all you lovely …
I have gotten into this annoying habit of taking afternoon naps. Now I know they say that afternoon naps are good for health; power naps provide a boost in energy and enhance your productivity etc etc… But when that nap stretches to over an hour it is too powerful for my liking. 🙂 I mean …

I’m passionate about food, but before Devansh was born the passion was more for eating than cooking. Then I got interested in cooking, well cooking for Devansh that is. (OK I don’t know how to add a sheepish smiley. :-)) Initially I used to cook all meals for Devansh. Then as he grew older and …
I cook all of Devansh’s meals except lunch. For lunch, Devansh has the same roti-sabzi as us, which is prepared by my cook. My cook was on leave the day I made this spinach kadhi or “takaltla palak” as we Maharashtrians call it. Now I simply hate making chapatis, and so I decided to make something …
Have you ever reached that stage of inertia where you just can’t motivate yourself to do something? That’s what happened to me past couple of weeks. It all started with Devansh contracting cough and cold, which was followed by me succumbing to cough and cold. And after that no matter what I just couldn’t get myself to write. I came …

I have probably said this before and it still holds true—getting Devansh to eat eggs is a Herculean task. So when his friend’s mom told me how easy it is to make caramel custard at home I was thrilled because eggs are very well disguised in the custard. I looked up a few recipes on …
Sometime back, I had come across some yummy smoothie recipes listed as “healthy breakfast smoothies”. One of the smoothies was made using oats, banana, and yogurt. Now I didn’t have yogurt at home so I thought let me try making oatmeal instead of a smoothie. I decided to substitute banana with mango. After all it …
Sometimes you don’t want to cook two different dishes, one for yourself and one for your baby. Or if you have two kids and one of them is a baby, you want to make something that both will enjoy. Khichdis come in handy at such times. You just need to spice up the khichdi slightly, …
I am a big soup fan just like my dad. Whenever we went out to eat, my dad and I would order a soup. My mom used to think it as an appetite spoiler, although now even she likes soups. I remember making cream of spinach soup for my dad some 12-14 years back. I …
My mother has been making rice porridge for eons. In Marathi we call it “takatli ukad”. I don’t know why I didn’t make this porridge for Devansh earlier; it is such an easy-peasy recipe. My mom doesn’t add curry leaves and veggies though. I add curry leaves for flavor and veggies for nutrition. I avoid …

Devansh turned two this 30th April. I wasn’t sure if we could have the birthday party at home because of the repairing work going on in the house. It was supposed to get over in two weeks but it’s been going on for a month now. Even though I wasn’t sure about the plans, I …
