Red Door restaurant is one of our go-to places to order food. But finally this weekend we decided to go there and dine in 馃槉 The waitress asked me, have you been here before? And I said yes but before the pandemic, before Prisha (I pointed towards her) was born. We always order take out from here. We had a great time there and spent a nice family time together 馃グ #lifewithoutalu #reddoor #restaurant #eatingout #dinein https://www.instagram.com/p/CqCNBQ9rjxy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

~*~ New article ~*~ Veggie Puffs I put up the spring wreath and the tulips were ready to bloom but the weather channel said Nop! It was 60F in the morning and now it feels like 23F. So I decided to make the most of this cozy season. I made some veggie puffs to soak up the goodness of all winter vegetables. These puffs are flaky, delicious and perfect tea-time snacks! Yup these puffs are 100% veggies with mashed potatoes, carrots, beets and peas. Preparing them is super easy, I used readymade puff pastry sheets but I will make them again with puff pastry made from scratch. Pair them with a cup of hot tea. You can find the ingredients and directions on my blog Life Without Alu? In the Appetizers and Beverages section, find the article - Veggie Puffs Or click on the link of my Instagram story.

The pure flavors of this stir fry reminds me of cold winter evenings at my parent鈥檚 home and sitting in front of my mom鈥檚 kitchen. My mom has this beautiful tradition of cooking parathas or roti and serving it to everyone straight from the skillet! Her kitchen is so small that there is no chance of anyone cramming in there and help her out! She loves rolling the dough and cooking it all by herself! I don鈥檛 know how you do it mamma but kudos to you!! I cooked this torkari today and immersed in happy memories https://www.instagram.com/p/CptvKFpM5Q4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Next time you are going to make scrambled eggs 馃嵆 add a handful of spinach in it. Super delicious 馃構 You know that bag of spinach which you always get thinking that you will eat more greens but never do. Then they go bad and you throw them away thinking that you will eat the next box. Then you go to the grocery store and instead of grabbing spinach you pick chips and dip. Believe me I have done that! But this recipe is super easy and absolutely delicious 馃構 Start by melting a knob of butter 馃 then add the spinach, as soon as it wilts add whisked eggs, salt and pepper and then add a few slices of cheese. Cover and cook so that the cheese melts. Then break the egg so that it scrambles and serve immediately. #lifewithoutalu #spinach #egg #eggs #scrambled #scrambledeggs #eggswithspinach https://www.instagram.com/p/CpReE4iMXte/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

~*~ New article ~*~ Mixed Dal with Cilantro (Arhar-Masoor Dal with Dhania garnish) Today鈥檚 recipe is all about simplicity and what can be more simple than the humble lentil soup? Have you ever mixed red and yellow lentils together? They create a mouth-watering soup! The creaminess of red lentils with the deliciousness of yellow, makes this dal thick and finger licking good. Don鈥檛 forget the garlic and cumin seeds tempered in ghee and chopped cilantro for that final fresh touch. I love to pair this dal with rice and papad fry.

We have been planning to bake some Christmas cookies for over a week now! So yesterday I mixed some flour and sugar and added it in creamed butter and egg. This is a standard cookie recipe uses some baking soda and vanilla extract as well. I mixed the dough and put it in the fridge because it was Prisha鈥檚 bedtime. Today I gave Prisha a portion of the dough and helped her roll it. This babe knows how to roll and mold cookies because she has been working with playdoh for the last few months. Still I was amazed to see her interest and workmanship. I wasn鈥檛 sure how the cookies would turn out so we did just a few cookies or rather were able to salvage just a few 馃槀 These are snowmen 鉀勶笍 I thought I would decorate them with royal icing but noone in our home has the patience for it 馃槃 Bake at 325 for 5-7 minutes. I love holiday season because there is so much to do and share! If you know someone who is alone, send them a message, I鈥檓 sure that will make them feel loved 馃グ Happy holidays everyone 馃檪 #lifewithoutalu #holiday #holidays #holidaycookies #cookies #cookiesofinstagram #cookiesforsanta #baking #bakingfromscratch #bakingrecipes #bakinglove #bakingtime #bakingwithkids #mamababy #selftaughtbaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CmOAgmiOyMa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

~*~ New article ~*~ Fresh Homemade Salsa I think there is something special about making fresh homemade salsa. You get the best flavors without any preservatives. Plus you can easily keep the leftover salsa in the fridge and use it the next day. I recommend the usual pair - tortilla chips. But you can also pair it with scrambled eggs for some extra flavor. I sometimes add a tablespoon of this salsa in my taco as well. Shrimp stir fry also goes great with this salsa. You can find the ingredients and directions on my blog Life Without Alu? In the Chutneys, Condiments and Dips section, find the article - Fresh Homemade Salsa Or click on the link of my Instagram story. Or click on the below link: https://lifewithoutalu.blogspot.com/2022/10/fresh-homemade-salsa.html . . Have you checked my Youtube channel? It's called 'Life Without Alu?'
