Sorry, I have been away for a while. We were away on a vacation to Brazil for about 10 days. Yay! But we got home to see our house flooded and needing some major demo and reconstruction work. The last few weeks were spent trying to deal with that. With two floors of our house mostly inaccessible, there is not much cooking happening, except for maybe making a quick pasta or a khichdi for lil V. We have been living through with dinner invites and boxes of food packed home for us by our friends. We are so lucky to have them all in our lives.
These are a few recipes that I had made a photographed some time back that I will be sharing with you all for a few more weeks. I also have some great photos and stories from our trip as well. Hopefully, the kitchen will be up and running by then and I can get back to some cooking, that I am itching to!!
Here is a quick brunch recipe that will fill you up and is also super easy to make!
