Homemade Funfetti cupcakes

I am a serious cake lover and adore everything and anything that has to do with funfetti, sprinkles , cake batter and cookie dough! If it were upto me, I would add sprinkles to everything  possible, can you blame me? Surprisingly, they are not only popular with kids but adults also have fond memories of enjoying…

Mixed Berry Pound Cake

There is a special comfort in knowing that you are stocked up with fresh seasonal berries for the summer.  Honestly, I get a little carried away whenever I see them in the supermarket and end up buying more than necessary. Can you tell? I am a berry hoarder and that is the reason you are seeing…

This is the kind of food I throw together when I do not have much going on in the fridge. This happens more often than I would like as I am a sucker when it comes to making grocery lists. I overestimate my ability to memorize things and then end up forgetting majority of them….

I think it is commercialized and catered more towards high school crowd and teenagers. 😉 I say this…

Lemon Butter Chicken

Now that January is over, it is safe to say everyone is getting back to their old 2015 self. Just Kidding! It is great to be able to stick to your new diet resolutions but as far as I am concerned, my ship has sailed long time back. I try to substitute rich ingredients with healthier…

Veggie Pizza Muffins

Cooking and baking are one of my few passions but because of that I always end up making more food than necessary which leads to lot of leftovers.  My favorite way to use up left overs is to add cheese to (almost) everything! Whenever I think of cheese & leftover veggies , I think of pizza…

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache

Any food that includes Chocolate makes me happy! So, it was only fitting to kick start the new years eve with a decadent chocolate cake.
