Telangana Thali Spread I know I kept mentioning about the Thali spread for the past two weeks but had to wait until now. I know, I can’t claim this spread an authentic festive spread or traditional spread because I missed some of the recipes like Kandi Podi / Paruppu Podi, Garelu / Vada, and Koora / lentil curry. But I still managed to create a not-so-elaborative spread. With Ugadi coming up in few days, I am super elated to share this....

Ummm, what’s Nice Cream? Nice cream is very different from regular ice cream. For starters it’s called nice cream because a) it’s nicer for your health b) it’s made with frozen fruits (not heavy cream) and c) it’s vegan since we’re not adding any animal-based milk. And anything vegan by default tops our charts because caring for the animals and the environment is our utmost priority. Nice Cream was first used to describe a soft-serve type ice cream, where instead of heavy cream, chunks of frozen fruits were blended and gave it a rich custard-like consistency....
I recently shared the recipe for this buffalo chicken pasta salad over on Spend with Pennies. I’m trying to be grateful. It’s 100 degrees outside and the air is thicker than a bowl of my favorite Panera broccoli cheese soup, and just as hot. It’s literally difficult to breathe; my lungs take a few extra milliseconds to filter out the oxygen from this dense blanket of sheer humidity. But, it’s summertime, it’s warm (putting it mildly), and there’s no snow in my 10-day forecast (and hopefully won’t be for a while), and for that, I’m trying to be grateful....
