  Tofu Piccata

  Posted on January 10, 2012 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Tofu piccata was on the menu tonight! Once again, we went searching in the great Internet space to find another recipe that used tofu and REB found a recipe featured in the Vegetarian Times. It was actually a recipe made with seitan, but we had tofu in our fridge (like we usually do) so we [...]

  Tofu Marsala

  Posted on December 30, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  We had some leftover tofu in our fridge, so we decided to make something with it that wasn’t Asian-themed. Our usual go to is to make General’s Tofu, but we had that last night, so we wanted to find a recipe that used tofu differently. We found a recipe online for Tofu Marsala and it [...]

  Back in Paris

  Posted on October 17, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Main Dish, Vegetarian

  Believe me, the photos from the trip are coming! I got through a lot of photos today from our first stop: Paris. I can’t stop thinking about Paris. I have been there before when I was 18 or 19 with my sister for three days. We packed too much into those three days and couldn’t [...]

  Spicy Paneer Tikka Masala

  Posted on April 7, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Indian, Vegetarian

  After making the tandoori masala yesterday, I wanted to make paneer tikka masala so I could actually use the mixture. The last time REB and I went out for Indian food, he ordered this dish and it was incredibly delicious and not too spicy. I decided to try making it based on what I remembered [...]

  Tandoori Masala

  Posted on April 7, 2011 by Aparna B. in Food, Indian, Spices, Vegetarian

  So I was on a bit of a hiatus. I didn’t realize I hadn’t updated this thing since the holidays! That’s totally my bad. Things have been pretty crazy between traveling for work and wedding planning. We’re almost all done with the planning, but I’m still traveling a lot, which means not being able to [...]

  Gingerbread cookies

  Posted on December 28, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  We made gingerbread cookies today! Mostly because we were bored. We followed a recipe from a book my future brother- and sister-in-law got me for Christmas. They turned out pretty well! The only thing we noticed after the first batch came out, was that they were incredibly hard! We both prefer cookies that are on [...]

  Mint Chip Cookies

  Posted on December 22, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  The holiday season brings out the Holly Homemaker in me. Well OK, not really, but I seem more inclined to bake during the holidays. REB and I have wanted cookies for a few nights now. I realized I had everything in my pantry to make cookies, so why not? This is based on the typical [...]

  Mango burfi

  Posted on November 26, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Indian

  Indian sweets are really sweet. I don’t care for a lot of them, but there are some I absolutely I can’t resist. I did a recipe earlier this year for kheer (Indian rice pudding), which is REB’s absolute favorite. Yesterday, my awesome sister showed me how to make mango burfi. Burfi is basically a solid [...]

  White Chocolate Bark

  Posted on October 28, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  Had a late night craving for some chocolate. Don’t you hate when that happens? Luckily, with a few ingredients from the pantry that needed to be used up, we were able to calm the craving and our sweet tooth. It’s probably the easiest thing to make too. We made two batches. One with slivered almonds [...]
