Garlic Hummus with Warm Toasted Chickpeas

February 16, 2013 karishma

I love hummus. It is a great snack and makes a great appetizer. You can serve it warm pita bread, toasted pita bread, pita chips or veggies. I always get the grocery store version or eat it at restaurants but I tried making it home and it is super easy. I made it again as an appetizer when we invited some friends over for dinner and it was definitely a crowd pleaser.

Valentine's Day 2013

February 14, 2013 karishma

Last year, on Valentine's day, we made Pizza at home and it was a wonderful way to celebrate the day of love with my love. We go to restaurants for every special occasional but on Valentine's day, I wanted to continue the tradition of cooking together, so this year we made Sushi. Neither of us had made Sushi before so it was fun trying to figure it out and watch YouTube videos of how to make a Sushi roll. It seems so intimidating at first but after a few tries, we got a hang of it and made the perfect sushi roll by the time we were on our 4th one. :)

Spinach Soup with Toasted Chickpeas

I bought spinach with the intention of making a salad but for some reason I changed my mind and I decided to make warm soup instead. I started blanching the spinach but I had no idea what I was gonna do next. I just threw some ingredients together and came up with this recipe. You can make the soup without the potato and add pasta to it instead.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

My hubby’s really good friend, Adil, is an engineer, a designer, a health buff, a table tennis guru and he’s just one of the nicest people we know. Beyond all that, he loves to cook and is an awesome baker. The two of us can endlessly talk about food, recipes, knives, chefs, restaurants, chocolate, etc. He made these cupcakes that I fell in love with. This has to be the best Red Velvet cakes I have ever had! It was so moist, not too sweet and the cream cheese frosting was perfect. Enjoy this little write-up by Adil on the scrumptious Red Velvet Cupcake.

Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, you can make these cupcakes for your sweetheart and wow them with your baking skills! :)
