It got worse before it got better, folks. At this point it honestly feels like all of December went by in a blur of holiday baking and upper respiratory infections. The baking you already know about. The flu came right after Thanksgiving followed by 2 different bouts of strep throat followed by the nastiest of…
Top 13 Foodie Recommendations 2012, The Spiced Life Style
It’s that time of year! Lists, lists, and more lists! I love them! I spent the day perusing the 50 top singles and albums of 2012 from Rolling Stone. My Pay Pal account is lighter because of it. I have been checking out the top cookbook lists, although I have not seen a ton yet….
Kozani Braised Beef with Grape Molasses
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!! I apologize for having dropped off the planet. I got strep throat and an ear infection for the second time in 2 weeks (both!!), and between that and last minute holiday stuff, the blog just took a backseat for a while.

Chicken and Cauliflower in Coconut and Mustard Sauce
This Bengali Chicken, Butternut Squash and Cauliflower with Coconut and Mustard knocks it out of the park! For being a relatively mild dish, it packs a wallop of flavor! I made this dish again and updated the photos in November 2015. The curry was as fantastic as I remembered! A copy of The Bengali Five…
A Review of Marshmallow Madness: Kahlua & Cream Marshmallows
Sometimes you get offered a book to review that you are really excited to try cooking or baking from–but just not that time of year. I am extremely moody when it comes to the seasons and food. I don’t like gingersnaps in the spring or summer. I used to refuse to eat Indian curries in…
Saffron Rice with Meatballs; Quick Spiced Potatoes and Cauliflower with Baby Shrimp: A Review of The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles
One of the big perks of blogging is being given cookbooks to review (I know you are shocked to hear me say that!). I try to only accept books that I would be interested in at least some of the dishes. You can imagine that I often get offered baking books that I am super…
