Indian tofu burger + red pepper hummus…

I am not a vegetarian…not at all…. but there was a short period of time in my life when I was! I was 14 and decided that I needed to make a sacrifice.. a small one.. for something to turn around… there were a few rough moments happening in and around my life and I hoped for change… So one of the things I gave up was meat…. and it was totally fine… I don’t quite remember missing it….

Sugar Cookies… personalized!

Personalized sugar cookies…

Weddings are such fun and special occasions, especially when it’s a family wedding… everyone come in from all over the world, and gets together for a few days, reminiscing, laughing and celebrating until the wee hours….

We had family wedding last week…. and it was so lovely to see so much family gather together, young and old alike….

Pretty personalized cookies…

The bride asked me to come up with something sweet and special for the kids’ table…. She loves children and always thinks of them…. and so she wanted something personalized…. I think it’s always such a great idea to personalize gifts or anything that would make a person feel special… Continue reading
