This is like having extra hands in the kitchen: The Ninja Master Prep
Lately, breakfast is the most leisurely meal at my my house. It’s my daughter’s favorite meal, and we’re not exactly running out to the playground early in the morning this time of year. So it’s not uncommon to find me whipping up French Toast and such in the middle of the week, or for breakfast [...]

Tea forte iced tea
I’m always raving about tea here on my blog. It’s truly one of my favorite drinks. While I used to be addicted to the iced tea at my neighborhood bakery, lately I’ve been experimenting at home with various blends and brands, which is how I came across this new tea-over-ice brewing pitcher set by Tea [...]
Mango lassi recipe
My 2-year old daughter loves mango lassis. When we go out for Indian food, she gobbles one up along with some papadum. So I decided to make one at home. Indian food is so alluring, because although I can usually deconstruct a recipe and know exactly what’s in a dish, I can’t seem to do [...]
Fennel, red onion, orange salad

Making seltzer at home with SodaStream
When I go out to dinner, I love to drink sparkling water. Yet it’s not something I drink at home, mostly, I think, because I don’t want to lug bottles of soda up to my apartment, especially with a toddler in tow. So I was very excited to find out about Sodastream, which turns tap [...]
MAVEA filtered water pitcher
I just discovered a new water pitcher that I love much more than the Brita I used to use. The Brita was somewhat annoying because of: • Those little specks of black minerals that sometimes floated into the water • The plastic date that indicated when you added the filter • Its bulkiness Then along [...]
Mom & Daughter Aprons
My toddler loves to help me cook, and especially when I bake. She loves saying “cake” and “cookie,” a girl truly after my own heart. Admittedly it gets very messy, which is perfectly fine. It’s just so cute to watch her smiling as she dips measuring spoons into sugar and flour, or takes the spatula [...]
Milk Foamer
It was one of those days again. Gray. Rainy. Couldn’t take the toddler-who-loves-to-run-around to the playground. We, the normally peripatetic duo, stayed in and entertained ourselves, while I drank a lot of tea. And to me, a cup of tea isn’t complete without warm, foamy milk, so this
