Lemon & Chillies… err Chilli powder

Elle & I are regular readers of Mahanandi & Saffrontrail, and couldn’t resist participating in this month’s JFI event. Being newbies to the blogging world, we were a little skeptical about participating in such an event right off-the-bat. But what with the ingredient being chillies, there was no way we were going to miss this event. After racking our brains on what to prepare, Elle suggested that I make Lemon Pickle and I couldn’t think of a more fitting entry.

 

Strawberry Chocolate Nut Squares

One of my favorite cooks on the Food Network channel is Giada De Laurentiis. Most of her recipes are easy to make at home with little prep work. Also she prepares a lot of vegetarian dishes on her show “Everyday Italian”. I have learnt quite a lot of tricks and Italian recipes, thanks to her. The dish that I made today has got nothing to do with Italian, but I saw Giada cooking this and decided to make this with the ingredients that I had at home.

 

Saturday Lunch with Lemon Rice & Avial

As our weekday lunches are usually packed box lunch, we like to have a nice sit-down lunch during the weekend. Well, I said we like to, but we normally don’t 🙂 I am not an early riser and getting early (read 8:00 AM) on weekends is a challenge for me. Unlike me, Elle is an early riser and when we were room-mates (I guess that would be a different post), she would become restless by 9:00 on weekend mornings and force me to wake up. It was indeed nice to have her as a room-mate and I never felt that I was staying away from home. Thanks Elle!

 

Sweet Beginnings

To begin a blog or not to – a question most of us seem to be faced with. Once you decide to have a blog of your own, the next stumbling block is the subject. Between Elle & I, we love food, travel, books, movies, meeting new people and everything in-between. So this blog will about every one of those and some others too 🙂
