Kitchen NINJA :) No, I'm not talking about myself ;) I am in love with my Ninja Kitchen System Pulse. It is so awesome! I am particularly fascinated by the dough blade, probably because prior kitchen gadgets I have owned never had one. I've been making pizza dough, chapati atta and plain simple bread! It is super fun, delicious and fulfilling. My favorite part is knowing exactly what it is that … [Read more...]

Peachy Keen I'm feeling rather good about this year so far; for no reason in particular though :) Bound by an academic calendar for as long as I can remember, I really think New Year's Day should fall in August or September.

Not so … [Read more...]

While 2011 was a wonderful year for me personally, it was very quiet on the blog front because of pregnancy + newborn. This year, I plan to make blogging a top priority as I have been cooking up some delicious dishes and want to share them with you! … [Read more...]

Happy New Year Here's wishing you all the best in 2012. May this year be filled with more cheer, fun and delicious food for all of us. On my part, I will keep churning out fun recipes in my kitchen and share my foodie haunts with you on Eatomanaic :) This past weekend, I was racking my brains trying to come up with an interesting dessert for a Christmas meal at our friends'. Lion King … [Read more...]

Just when I thought I was finished making Christmas cookies for the year, I realized Violet and I never made any to leave out for Santa! While I know she won't remember making them for the next several years, I will, and I love creating traditions with her. … [Read more...]
