Over the weekend, I baked a large batch of Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies that I gift packed for my dear cousin who was visiting us. Baking is therapeutic and I always look forward to heat up the oven. With Christmas season upon us, my oven is busier than usual. I find that the best time to bake is early morning when the house is calm. I love it when my son wakes up to the warm aroma of baking and asks me, “Amma, what are you baking for me?...

Salmon has become a bit of a staple at our house. In my unrelenting effort to reduce how much meat we eat, I’m trying to get us to one veggie day a week and one fish day. Salmon tends to be the fish of choice because I know everyone will eat it. So when I see sides of salmon on offer at the supermarket, I always grab one. Sometime I’ll cut it up into portions, but this time I decided to cook the whole thing....

A few things first… The avocado. Avocados are known to hydrate the skin, bringing back that glow we all love. The mangos and pineapple. Mangos contain carotenoids, which help our skin glow. My dermatologist told me that these carotenoids help give a rosy glow to dull looking skin. And pineapples are high in vitamin C, which I’ve learned is key to the production of collagen, giving our skin its firmness and strength....

Crispy gnocchi is the BEST way to eat it in my opinion. I love the golden crispy exterior, plus those extra crispy bits in the pan. For this recipe we fry up the gnocchi first, then brown plenty of butter, before adding lots of sage leaves (don’t worry, they mellow during frying, so they won’t overpower the dish), garlic and lemon. In my testing stage I also tried adding a good helping of parmesan towards the end of cooking, but I found it simply doesn’t need it (not often I say that about cheese)....

A lot happened last week, such as the moment I found out that I hadn’t been losing my hearing capabilities for the past few months. Turns out I had blocked off part of the earpiece on my new iPhone with the screen protector.
