I know I am on a diet and focusing more on all things fitness these days. The last few posts have been about all things fitness and I should stick to that. There is no fitness without those cheat meals. We need to create imbalance every once in a while. Human body is an amazing piece of machinery. It adapts quickly. So if...

"Snacks can make or break your diet"  Well all you fitness enthusiasts already know this. We all swear by it. We work on it. We count our macros and portions right. Just when we think we are doing everything right the whole process of eating/ preparing the "right" snacks becomes tedious. The monotony sets in and before you know it you are grabbing...

I hate missing my workouts and last night it was a forced rest day. I reached home late from work and then you know its a chain reaction.  So I decided to take the day off and relax. I looked in the fridge for possibilities and was super excited to see a jar of Pumpkin Puree. I don't think that I’m ready for...

I have been running for the past 11 years now and have been competing participating in races for the past 3 years. I have been obsessed with fitness for a while now. It is a big part of my identity and my lifestyle. I love every thing about it. It is a journey. I eat EVERYTHING. Crash diets are not for me and...

A slice of cake, a good coffee and a good song. You just need simple things to get you started.  Sometimes you just need a cake. On that note let me tell you that I love coffee cakes.  Give me a light fluffy cake and I am the nicest person on this planet. I am really a cake person.  Today morning I realized...

I love food. No surprises there. When I talk about my love for food it is not just the eating bit that I appreciate. I love shopping for groceries (Which is mainly online these days) also. When I was in Germany I made sure I visited Farmers market every week for  fresh produce. I create and construct recipes in my head. I come...

I bought lots and lots of apples last week, 18 if you must know. This is what I am good at. The moment I spot seasonal fruit in the market I go C.R.A.Z.Y. Apples are not seasonal anymore but I refrain myself from buying them in the summer months. I think at the back of my mind I just wanted to bake a...

This is probably the easiest cake I have baked in a long while. It fluffs up and is moist from inside. The flavor of dates is even better the next day.  The recipe that I used is around 70 years old. When I was in the UK last year I went to this tiny bakery in Brighton. I have a thing for bakeries....

I had to come here and write today. I have had a good day in a long while. I am just fed up of heat, humidity and life in general. I have been taking all sorts of shortcuts while cooking. There have been no elaborate meals lately. Well, that's Dilli kii Garmi for you.  It rained beautifully today and I had to celebrate...

Saturday: It was a lovely day today. I kick-started my day with a 16 km run. I was so excited and ready to just laze around and do nothing. I went off to sleep for a quick nap at 11:00 am which turned out to be a long siesta. I woke up at 3:00 PM to beautiful weather. My legs were all sore...

I haven't abandoned this space like my other food ventures. I am pretty sure that this blog is here to stay. I am battling heat in my part of the world. I am not a fan of summers (not Indian summers). They are too harsh for my liking. I am trying my best to stay hydrated and taking best care of myself.. My...

I added a new tag to my ever growing collection of hashtags on Instagram. It is called #DinnerForOne. I know that cooking for  single person is a challenge and esp if you don't believe in leftovers. This is a perfect, no fuss recipe and I strongly recommend it. I wanted to eat Salad for dinner and was at my laziest best on Saturday....

Yes, I am that girl who loves to bake. I am the one who loves to experiment. My ambition is to invent a dessert one day.  There are a thousand reasons to bake but nothing beats when you just want to bake for yourself. Yes, it has been that kind of a week. I am a little under the weather and have been...

I workout in the evenings and light dinners are simply not for me. My plate needs to be warm, hearty and comforting. Anything less and I feel starved. I am very particular about getting my macros right with every meal. I love dishes which are easy, flavorful and full of nutrients. This one has become a family favorite.  Last night I posted a...
