brew-skeh-tehs!Girl talks, giggles and good food with a splash of alcohol - now thats a perfect recipe for a great girls’ nite! No matter how busy we get, my girl friends and I make it a point to meet up regularly. It is our much needed time, away from all those day-to-day things, just getting together and having a ball of a time. Sometimes it does become a little difficult to get out and meet up – like this last time a couple of weeks ago. That didn’t stop us! We just got together at my place for a girls’ night in!

keeping a promiseAnd again, it’s been months since a published my last post! I don’t have any excuses other than simply being busy with life. Work definitely takes up most of my time and the rest goes juggling in between a kindergartner and all other things that come in between me and my blog. Weekends start off with lazying around and then before I know I’m back to the grind. Nonetheless I have been cooking and clicking quite a few of my signature concoctions…
When I download the photos from my camera every now and then, I realize how much I love doing this. Yes, I’ve really missed blogging all these months. Now, I am going to make every effort to keeping a promise I have made to myself and that is to write at least 1...  pack a punch!I sure love to taste a little bit of San Francisco every day but once in a while I do like to pack something homemade my lunch box.
Homemade lunches work great, especially on crazy busy days or those rainy days when I can stay in and continue ploughing through my work.I find it quite boring to bring in previous night’s leftovers for lunch next day. Instead, I indulge in some cooking therapy after dinner, whipping up a signature concoctions like quick lemony tuna salad sandwich, a light mung bean salad with tangy Chaat Masala vinaigrette or a hearty Greek-style quinoa bowl in my lunch box. Check out my easy lunch ideas and get packing a punch in your lunch box! (...)
