I’ll love you forever…
Before leaving for India, I had the pleasure of working on a commissioned, mixed-media art piece for a dear friend of mine. Her first grandchild was born this year, so she was inspired to give her daughter and granddaughter a very special first Christmas present that she hopes will be handed down from generation to generation.
2014 Thanksgiving Round Up
Since I’m not here for Thanksgiving this year, I thought I’d share some recipes from one of my favorite blogs, Oh She Glows! She has a great step by step, 3-Course, Vegan & Gluten Free Holiday Menu that looks pretty good…I’ve never made these particular recipes, but all the recipes I have tried from her site have been DELICIOUS…so I have high hopes for these as well.

Hello all!
Well, I leave for India this weekend and boy, am I excited! I have not been to India since 2006 and I know so much has changed….for the country as well as for myself :). This will be the first time my family in India will meet my husband…this Thanksgiving marks our 7 year Anniversary, so this visit is definitely overdue!
Deepest Gratitude & Adoration
This past summer I had the fortune of spending quite a bit of time with my meditation teacher Shri Anandi Ma. For those of you that don’t know, Anandi Ma is a spiritual master in the lineage of Kundalini Maha Yoga. Her mission is to help people reach their true selves through meditation; and she has students all across the world.
Around Here Lately
It’s October…yippeee! Another autumn full of gorgeous colored leaves, sweater days (& BOOTS), fresh apple pie out of the oven, evenings chilly enough for fires (& SNUGGLING), big pots of soup that make the kitchen windows steamy and the excitement of the holidays in the air! Yes, I do indeed love you, Autumn :)…you are one of my favorites!
Between you & God

Focaccia {gluten-free & vegan}
Last weekend I had the treat of going to a friends house for lunch and she made Focaccia (gluten-free and vegan!) and I made my pesto. The focaccia was so delicious; it melted in my mouth and definitely hit the spot for this gluten-less girl. I can't wait for you to...

Crunchy Raita {carrot, tomato and cilantro}
This week I made one of favorites called Sahkla, also known as Spiced Up Rice Patties (click here for the recipe). These delicious patties are light, tasty and pretty easy to whip up if you already have rice leftovers on hand. I changed up the recipe a little by using...
