On a rain soaked day ...

Whilst other parts of the world is experiencing the warmth of summer, for us, it's the glorious rainy season. Today is a day of a cloudy sky with the rain drizzling since morning. It is wonderful to watch the silver streak of rain water dropping from the sky outside the window. I love the rain and the way our mood gets influenced by the way we perceive things ...  

With the gloomy weather outside I wanted to relax and enjoy the climate with a casual sit down lunch with an easy to make meal. As I don't want to strike off soups and salads from the food list, as boring, keeping that in mind, I prepared a quick crispy salad and soup to have along with fruits and laid a table in my favorite and usual place as the drizzles became heavier than before.

I feel a simple dish presented with a simple styling idea & with imagination can be inviting and this turned out to be a prefect deal for a rain soaked day.





















Sprouts can be called super foods as they enhance health energy and longevity since they have the greatest nutrient content all raw foods.

Even with simple preparations food must first look good, smell great & be finally delicious.


This has been my 25th post since I started blogging. I would like to thank my readers, and wonderful followers, whose comments and encouragement, drive me to continue blogging. Love You All... Thanks.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M...

Festive Give Away:)))

  Season Fall is to arrive soon and the season has its own charm in providing us with plenty of seasonal specials. Oranges are best during Fall and they last from beginning of Fall to end of Winter. In our garden plenty of Calamondin oranges started to appear and the fresh smell of the citrus in the air so soothing.  Plucked few of them and made marmalade from the ripen oranges for the morning toast. Also a good idea to make marmalade when the oranges are plenty, fill them in cute little bottles,tie with a ribbon/card and gift it when there is a Fall party or for Thanks giving & festive occasions. Its easy and quick to make and my way of preparing the recipe is given right here.  Cut the calamondin orange to half, remove the pulp and the skin separately. While removing the pulp take away the seeds. Squeeze out the juice from the pulp using a thin cloth . Cut the skin to thin stripes.  Put a heavy bottom pan on the stove and keep on low flame. (For one glass of ju...
