In my home, largely due to our Indian heritage, my family cooks from scratch everyday. Although this may sound daunting, it’s actually quite exciting in the warmer months when we have our very own garden of delicious veggies to choose from. Yesterday was a ripe day for picking!
We season chopped eggplant with lots of scrumptious spices.
Whether served on a salad or puréed into a sauce, tomatoes are a part of our daily diet.
Though not a personal favorite, the rest of my family loves to include green bell peppers in lots of dishes.
Indian cuisine tends to be spicy!
Indian bay leaves grow year-round and are a major component in many Indian dishes. During the winter months we move this potted plant indoors.
Also growing in our garden are beautiful hydrangeas. They always put a smile on my face!

great post. i’m like you, though—I’m not a fan of green bell peppers, although I like red and yellow ones. What time is dinner?!

All of those veggies are nightshades, which I learned just yesterday were once believed to cause health problems such as arthritis and—get this—insanity. I love ‘em, though. Your home garden looks like it has produced a delicious bounty!

I can’t imagine how wonderful your home smells when something is being prepared, especially with such fresh ingredients!

I just bought that little pocket pie mold for the kids last week. A trip to Williams Sonoma is always an adventure! You can never have too many gadget and tools for the kitchen. Post your favorite cupcake recipe!! I am always looking to perfect some of mine and would love to see yours!!
Thanks for the fun post! xxj
