With Valentine’s Day coming, love is the topic of the moment. When we think about love, we generally think in terms of who loves us and whom we love, both of which refer to others. But what if Valentine’s Day were really about falling in love with ourselves, cherishing ourselves, and knowing ourselves as manifestations of the Divine. Self-love is not an act of effort but rather a way of being. It means living in a way, moment to moment, that makes room for our own heart’s experience, being with ourselves with kindness and without judgment. Love is not a…

I have a sweet tooth and so has my son… after every meal my family needs something sweet to indulge. Whether it’s a cake, cookie, brownie or a fudge …anything sweet to satisfy my sweet craving shall do. After finishing my zebra cake thought to lay my hands on a fudge. Didn’t wanted to go for a baked one, hence landed up making a No Bake Choco Nut Fudge.Something that was quick and hassle free. The preparation time was hardly 10mins and cooking time 10mins.

9 months of blogging and my 100th post…feels great. The journey so far has been a learning experience that allowed me to explore and nurture my culinary skills. Initially baking was one of my weakest point, but gradually it became my strength. What can be a better way to express my happiness on my 100th post than baking a cake. Zebra-striped cake made with patterns of vanilla batter and cocoa batter is one of the impressive looking cakes. It looks complicated to make but in fact its very easy to get the patterns.

I mean who doesn’t like a cake, specially if it is a cute lil Cup Cake. Today was a cup cake kinda day, and i’m pretty sure tomorrow it will be too.

It’s Christmas time and lots of baking going around which inspired me baking a cake too. After lots of online searches i found my friend Nidhi S Raj’s recipe of Tooti Fruity Cake as the best and worth trying. I followed the original recipe from http://soulandspicebox.com/eggless-tooti-fruity-loaf/. The recipe was precise and easy to follow. As i wanted to try my hands on an eggless version, hence this recipe came out to be the best. Though the original recipe doesn’t have dry fruits but i chose to add some to make it a lil more rich.

As a kid i was always a big fan of Pan Cakes which my mom use to make when me and my sister use to return from school. The memories of those fluffy cakes are so fresh in my mind that they still manage to get that taste in my palate. I remember my mom use to get tired making pan cakes as me and my sister never use to stop eating them. Today as it was my son’s school holiday i thought to make him relish these beauties too. Just added some caramelized apple and dark chocolate sauce as…
