Ben and I moved to a new city last Wednesday, and as much as I’d love to tell you that 48 hours later, I was wearing a cute apron pulling a steaming coq au vin from the oven, in truth, we don’t even have Internet yet (hi from Starbucks!). We’ve been madly shopping Labor Day furniture sales, instead of unpacking silly things like real silverware. We are living off of Qdoba (eaten with plastic forks), and I suspect that my aprons are packed in a low-priority box marked “Christmas décor....

(This post is sponsored by Jennie-O.) Four to five weeks to go, you guys! Soon, our little family of three will become a family of four. Oh, we simply can’t wait to meet our little baby! I won’t lie: growing a baby is haaaaard! Put lightly, I can say that life has been a whirlwind, mostly due to this pregnancy. But it is officially summer and we are trying to enjoy ourselves while we can, before our lives change forever and sleep depravation comes knocking at our door....

This recipe is sponsored by Stella Cheeses. My husband Ben likes to remind me that I “can’t please everybody. You’re not pizza.” WELL, after enough times of hearing this echo from him, I finally took his advice… to the dinner table. Combining the most popular protein for family meals (chicken) with the flavors of (conceivably) the most popular food (pizza) will have kids and adults alike chanting “huzzah!” I could happily eat pizza just about any night of the week....

A terrific almost no-cook meal option or a great summer salad for a crowd. This is also how I make prawns (shrimp) stretch further! Summer Salad – Prawns, Mango and Avocado! I’m a bit fussy when it comes to fruit in meals. I never got on board the pork with apple thing. I’m not really a big fan of fruity sauces with roasts unless it errs more towards savoury or tart than sweet....

This Pressure Cooker Pot Roast is great for those busy weeknights because it is done in about an hour. Yes, you heard it right!! No need to cook the roast for 4 hours. Also, there’s something about cooking the meat in the pressure cooker that makes it so incredibly tender. It literally falls apart when you touch it. You are probably sick of me talking about my pressure cooker. You will only understand my obsession the day you get one and start realizing how much time (and work) it saves!...

This pumpkin halwa or kaddu ka halwa is simple to make. It needs only few ingredients and gets done under 20 minutes. I have mentioned 2 options to use pumpkin: grated or pressure cooked. Halwa made using grated pumpkin retains most nutrients as it is lightly cooked and only for a while. However it is a matter of convenience. If you find it hard to grate, go for the other option mentioned in the step by steps....

A planner to the core, my mind constantly wanders to my next errand, the next season, or cosmic questions along the lines of, “What should I be when I grow up?” Late August, in particular, is bittersweet, and it is the bittersweet times when I most struggle to be present.
