She said “Dad’s coming home tomorrow. We should make something special. Betty’s cake!” I said “Let’s wait for him to arrive.” #blackthumbbaker #myhusbandbakes Pictured here is her modeling with @stemsandfork ‘s most delicious chocolate cake we enjoyed last month. Fingers crossed, he bakes this one again. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! : : : : : : #chocolatecake #darktablemood #heresmyfood #foodfluffer #thesupperclubmag #tv_stilllife #stilllifephotography #foodstyling #beautifulcuisines #foodblogfeed #ihavethisthingfordarkness #lifeandthyme #indianfoodbloggers #desi_diaries #foodtalkindia #indianfoodtales #foodiefeatures_ #f52grams #cake
Husband writes “Good news, bad news, coming home, only for 4 days.” The 12-year-old replies “Wonderful! Looking forward to 4 days of getting my protein from anything other than eggs.” Okay, so maybe I overdid it with the eggs... 🤷‍♀️ #vegetarianmom #carnivoredad Also, a huge thank you for getting in on the conversation of my last post… you guys are the best!! My apologies for the delaying in replying but I will get back to each comment soon. 💕 : : : : : : #quiche #eggs #beautifulfood #healthyfood #simplekitchen #ihavethisthingfordarkness #thesupperclubmag #hocsupperclub #fbcigers #darktablemood #foodfluffer #stilllife #still_life_mood #raw_kitchen #raw_flatlays #stilllifephotography #lifeandthyme #shareyourtable #cuisinesworld #indianfoodtales #foodtalkindia #desi_diaries #indianfoodbloggers
Food for thought today… Dad (🇮🇳, age 78) : What’s all this fussing for? Me: Just to make it pretty. Dad: It’s just food. You cook it, you share it, you eat it. Me: It’s for photos. Dad (sarcastic): Who eats photos? Me (annoyed): It’s for Instagram! The whole world can see my photos. Dad: Half the world lives in poverty and you’re showing them photos of your pretty food? Me (speechless) Maybe because of this conversation, maybe the way I was raised, maybe my experiences, but as much as I love food photography, there is always this feeling at the back of my head, a feeling that there are more important things to do in life. If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to end hunger. Buy a sandwich for the homeless person outside the café, help out the family in need down the block, give to your local food bank, tell me we are more than a photograph. Food, after all, is meant to be shared. Have a wonderful week dear friends! 💕💕 #tribute #anthonybourdain #foodblogger #endhunger #fighthunger #endpoverty #socialgood #bloggingforacause #foodforthought #fooddiary #foodfluffer #indianfoodbloggers #hocsupperclub #raw_kitchen #foodtalkindia #indianfoodtales #desi_diaries #foodiefeatures_ #lifeandthyme #darktablemood #asimplelife #alifewelllived
Pesto anyone? First we have, @marisasitaliankitchen artichoke pesto made for my artichoke-loving son… quite frankly, he loves all of Marisa’s recipes that I have made to date! Secondly, the dynamic duo, @sugarlovespices sundried tomato pesto… so happy to get a thumbs up from the daughter who doesn’t like tomatoes! 😲 Last of all, I put some leftover fenugreek leaves to use… it was so good, I’ll post the recipe on the blog (soon hopefully!) : : : : : : #pesto #picnicseason #healthyeating #tastingtable #nutrition #mangersain #healthyfood #vegetarian #eatyourgreens #easyrecipes #eatrealfood #homemade #gatheringslikethese #lifeandthyme #foodphotography #foodblogger #eattheworld #hocsupperclub #foodfluffer #fooddiary #f52grams #darktablemood #healthycuisines #heresmyfood
Local cucumbers can only mean that it’s time to make #tzatziki or the Indian version, #raita again… whichever you prefer, I have a few good tricks for making both thick and creamy. 1. Seed the cucumber before grating. 2. Salt the grated cucumbers to draw out its natural water content. 3. Use a bit of labneh (or hung yogurt) in place of some of the yogurt. Search “tzatziki” or “raita” for exact recipes on the blog. : : : : : : #cucumber #springproduce #eattheseasons #healthycuisine #instahealthy #eatgoodfeelgood #thehub_food #hocsupperclub #darktablemood #foodfluffer #indianfoodbloggers #desidiaries #lifeandthyme #foodtalkindia #f52grams #foodiefoot #foodphotography #raw_kitchen #foodiefeatures_ #eattheworld #greekfood #desifood #indianfoodie
Not all hope is lost... first 3 radishes pulled out for a salad, the best part was the look of joy on my little princess’s face. : : : : : : #radishes #vegpatch #organicgardening #urbangarden #tscsowproject #simplelife #thegoodlife #seekthesimplicity #thesimplethings #eattheseasons #groworganic #eatfresh #raw_kitchen #foodfluffer #darktablemood #fooddiary #desidiaries #heresmyfood #darkandmoody #lifeandthyme #thesupperclubmag #f52grams #indianfoodbloggers #gardenfresh
The message I sent to my husband earlier this week: “Dear John, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the basil seeds you planted before leaving are not growing. The good news is that there’s no possibility for me to kill them now. “ 🙃 I am a terrible gardener, but at least I am proactive and have been trying out alternative pesto recipes… I’ll share my finds soon! And yes, yesterday I posted a photo with icing sugar and today, this is white bread... what’s the point of making rules if you can’t break them once in a while!

The last cakes baked by husband just before he left. My flowering almond is in bloom no more, the cakes have been eaten and my littlest princess is asking that I bake another batch, thankfully she’s got a birthday party to go to this weekend so I’m off the hook, right? : : : : : : : #miniloafcakes #floweringalmond #onmytable #heresmyfood #myopenkitchen #f52grams #darktablemood #hocsupperclub #ihavethisthingfordarkness #fbcigers #foodtalkindia #desidairies #indianfoodbloggers #fcpindia #foodiefeatures_ #foodiefoot #foodfluffer #tv_stilllife #thebakefeed #raw_kitchen #raw_flatlays #thehub_food #darkandmoody #darkgrammer #lightandshadow
Blogging has been taking the backseat lately, but I finally managed to find 15 minutes to rest my tired bones, and proofread a draft post and hit “publish” while doing so... up on the blog now, recipe for a kid-friendly piña colada, drinks or ice pops, plus my family’s allergy story. : : : : : : : #pinacolada #virginpinacolada #healthytreats #healthyanddelicious #vegan #inmykitchen #foodstories #foodblogeats #heresmyfood #feedfeed #lifeandthyme #f52grams #hocsupperclub #foodfluffer #darktablemood #ihavethisthingfordarkness #feedfeedvegan #lifewithallergies #allergyawareness #foodtalkindia #desidiaries #indianfoodbloggers #thehub_food #onmytable
