Namaskaram Everyone!!

I am greeting you guys in tamil(my first language) in part because I have been doing a lot of things that remind me of home (eating dosas, watching movies, and what not) 😛 but also because I am plain homesick. Add monday mornings to the mix and that is the perfect recipe for furrowed brows and clenched jaws 😛  Nothing that some old fashioned whining and candy eating can’t remedy! 😉 Here’s my top 5 from last week.

1. Made some basil spinach fettuccine with parmesan! Leftovers for the lunchbox today 🙂 20150712_1617072. The legendary toy store FAO Schwarz is closing their doors this month and that warranted one last visit to buy overpriced bags of candy, and photos of with life sized stuffed penguins and lego batman! 🙂 3. Here is the best looking version of me as per my mom. 😉 Photo on 7-12-15 at 1.41 PM4. How have I not known of this UD lip primer considering I own 6 shades of red?? Anyway better later than never 😀5. Watched a tamil movie in a theatre after a good while and thoroughly enjoyed it. Like I said time to take a holiday!! 🙂 Brace yourselves for a wonderful week ahead! 😀

chia, diet, flax, healthy, kale, nuts, seaweed, spinach, superfoods

Not only have I disappeared for a while but I have suddenly decided to write a food post because …eating is always “in” right? 😛  Jokes apart, I’ve been trying to eat cleaner and healthier( thanks in part to my stubborn love handles, and a fresh bout of adult acne :/) and have consciously been trying to incorporate them into my diet to counteract several years of sugar and junk food abuse ;). The last few weeks have been all about the below…. in addition to plenty of fresh veggies,fruits and water( and bites of dark chocolate when I see a mood swing coming :P)!

1. Flax:  A spoon of these little buggers in my cereal / yogurt and tadaaa.. I’ve gotten fiber and much needed omega 3 🙂 2. Kale/ spinach: As a former hater of all things green,  I’ve taken a shine to these greens packed with all sorts of goodness, thanks in part to some really great recipes floating around the internet.3. Nuts: No brainer.. great for snacking, lots of essential fats and when if they are activated, even better 😀 4. Chia: I’ve swapped my daily after-dinner dessert with Chia pudding. While chia can be expensive, it more than makes up by being a super food full of oxidants, fiber and keeps you full 😀 5. Seaweed: The first time I ate a sheet of Nori, I literally gagged… but it really does grow on you. Living in an asian neighborhood helps, I buy fresh kelp and just throw it into a soup or a salad. Anything for some folic acid 😛 While it is a task to consciously put the right stuff into your body , I am hoping it pays off and I can soon do a post with pictures of me all fresh faced and dewy 😛 I am hoping I keep at this.. wait.. what.. do I smell a pizza? 😛
