Tortelloni in Tomato Sauce

 So much has happened since I wrote something here, the world is upside down, we are locked in our home and spending more time on zoom. I am spending less time in kitchen even when my son is at home. 

Art is helping me heal and I am learning to stay quiet with this chaos.

Sharing ten minutes pasta meal which we had yesterday.

Tortelloni in Tomato Saue. Advay feels I am good with pasta and noodles. I don't blame him. He is raised in a different world. This one is good for lunch or brunch and kids are always happy to see something different in the plate.

The year that was,..

 Its been a month since I am back from India Trip,but then Advay's winter break started  that kept me busy,

but  today i stole some moments from my hectic schedule to write this post as I had to do this before the year ends.

year 2012 was a busy one for me right from the first month and tha'ts how it went the whole year,most of the time was spent travelling so you guys can imagine how busy I have been.

Today before writing this post when I looked at the resolutions which I had written for myself when the year 2012 started there was a smile on my face as I had managed to accomplish almost all the resolutions,so I can say that 2012 is one of the best year of my life as I learnt a lot with each passing day and ya cherished each moment .

On Advay's friend demand - Pasta in Red Sauce

when it comes to cooking for kids i am a bit skeptical,as each of them are different .
So when one noon when Advay's friend had come for play date

 I asked Advay's friend what he would like to eat
he - aunty i will eat pasta
me -ok will prepare for you
he - aunty please prepare pasta in red sauce not in white sauce
me- uhh okay
Advay didnt had any clue what conversation we were having as he just asks me to prepare pasta :-)
