It's Bluebonnet season in Texas! Wondering if heading out, hunting for bluebonnets is considered acceptable during social distancing. 🤔 With six feet distance from others of course! 😁

Happy Holi to all those celebrating! 🎉
Since we've all been laying low at this point and Holi celebrations being cancelled, here's a flashback to 'pichkari wali Holi' days! 🙂🎈

It's winter season, and for me that means it's time for 'Gajar Mooli Gobhi ka Achaar' (Carrot Radish Cauliflower Pickle). 🥕😁 I love it not just for its flavorful taste, but also its nostalgic value. Takes me back to winter afternoons spent in my parents' balcony, soaking in the sunshine while enjoying hot parathas...always with #gajarmooligobhikaachaar 😋 Sigh...Dil dhoondta hai, fir wohi fursat ke raath din ❤️ If like me, your meals are incomplete without pickles, do try this one as it requires very little effort and is ready to eat fast. This achaar (pickle) has a strong spicy flavor and is the perfect side-kick to any of your meals. Goes well with plain parathas, stuffed parathas, dal chawal...just about any Indian meal.

I love making a huge batch coz in my home, we can't seem to have enough of it. 😝 There is more than one way of making it, but here's how it's typically made in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Recipe 🥣 • Slice carrots, radish and cut cauliflower into florets. Pat dry with a towel to get rid of excess moisture.
• For the spice mix - Grind mustard seeds and fennel seeds to get a coarse powder.
• Take a big bowl. Place all the veggies in it. Add the ground spice powder, salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, asofetida and mustard oil to the veggies. If you don't like the raw taste of mustard oil, you can heat the oil first.
• Give everything a good mix. At this point, the veggies should be thoroughly coated with the oil and spices.
• Take an air-tight glass container/mason jar and fill it with the prepared veggies. Tighten the lid and give it a shake.
• Place this container in the sunlight for about four days and your pickle is ready!
• Always use a dry, clean spoon to take out the pickle.

The older the pickle gets, the better it tastes because of the fermentation process.
If you happen to try this, do post a picture and tag me! 😁

Half of me is filled with bursting words and half

Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding.
Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough. 🖤🖤🖤

One thing the DFW Metroplex is NOT short on is amazing holiday light displays. I’ve got a hidden gem to share with you! 🎉

Every neighborhood has that one house that goes above and beyond for the holiday season. The Burkman home in Frisco, Texas is that house. They have been putting on amazing Christmas displays for twenty years now. But this house is more than just a “drive by” to admire the lights.

Be prepared to park your car, and head on over to enjoy all the interactive displays. You can also meet the family on weekends in December.

The Burkman’s display began with 500 lights and has since grown to almost 65,000 lights! Each year they have added more interactive pieces like a gingerbread house kids can walk through, a toy train station, and North Pole Post Office. There are selfie stations, family photo stations, and even a dog selfie station.

If you are lucky, you can even snag a photo with Santa! 🎅 On the weekends they serve hot chocolate too!
Address: 3809 Hazelhurst Drive, Frisco 75034

Which are your favorite neighborhoods in for holiday lights in DFW?🎄

Rocking holiday classics: a red jumpsuit and red lips ❤️🎄🎉 This jumpsuit is seriously the most comfortable and most beautiful jumpsuit I've ever put on my body! The comfort of pants and the right amount of feminine with it's flirty sleeves and shimmer on the bodice. It also has a bow tie at the back that you can keep adjusting as you eat all the holiday goodies. Pockets too! What's not to love! 😁
