'Morning Rush' Salad with homemade vinaigrette

-

healthy salad

Some mornings are rushed and some are super-rushed! you know those mornings, when you miss hearing the alarm clock ring, and are already an hour behind in your day, and still feel like you need to sleep an hour more, but you drag yourself out of your bed like a zombie and head over into the kitchen to make your son's lunch box because his ride to school is going to be here in 15 minutes??? I am talking about bed-freshen up- head to kitchen mornings, Not the usual tea-yoga-pilates-meditation-kitchen mornings.
so what do I do on such mornings? Being the self-proclaimed lazy innovator that I am, I came up with a salad that I can put together in 5 minutes flat. watch the video below for instructions

Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that this salad is original, it did come out of my extremely sleepy mind one rushed and stressful morning, but it's obviously based on scores of salads I have eaten at restaurants until now (sure tastes like one!).
Also as great minds think alike, I am sure this brilliant idea must have come to more than one great mind apart from me. I cannot credit anyone specifically for this post, but if  you have made a similar salad and posted about it before, then we are soul -sisters and definitely need to connect so please give a shout-out to me

Most weekdays see me getting up really early at the crack of dawn to savor the fresh air,  and the peace that comes with solitude.  I  have to admit, though, that I  have never yet  managed to get up earlier than my Neighbors.  One would imagine,  that if one got up a quarter of an hour before sunrise,  one would be entitled to get up to the sounds of birdsong,  but no, I seem to live in a street of impossibly early risers.  I generally get up to the sounds of dishes being washed and of yards being swept all around me. Yet,  I  like to get up at this early hour and having gone through my ablutions and my  prayers, (just saying that links my soul somehow to all the men and women of all the ages past who did that very same thing,) sit down with a nice cup of tea by myself before the rest of the household wakes up,  and I have to get into the daily grind. Weekends,  however bring out all the latent spirit of 'la dolce vita'  in me. I get up far after the sun has gotten tired of

There was this family tradition we followed since I was a kid, and which me and my husband have continued with our children too and that is to cut a cake and eat it so we eat something sweet to welcome the new year.It has always been our my fond hope and belief that in so doing we are ensuring sweetness and joy for each and every moment for the rest of the new year. Optimistic much?? I guess so!!  Idealistic?? Definitely Surely in all the twenty plus years, of  carrying on this tradition, even I, a self styled incurable romantic and stubborn idealist should have realized that this trick doesn’t work, that you cannot bribe the fates with cake, that every year will bring its share of joys and sorrow, and as thousands of  internet memes going around, and the cynic in me say,  “ A new year is just a change in date and no big deal. Circumstances don’t drastically change because it’s a new year, and the resolutions (making resolutions on new years is so passé) can be made at any tim

Orange Cake

Normally, I make it a point to post a dish as soon as I make it. I prefer it that way,as all that led up to the making of it , is fresh in my mind. Somehow or the other, I missed posting this one, although I made it quite a while ago and even took photographs, fully intending to post it. It all started with my son, clamoring for something sweet, and there being a surfeit of oranges in the refrigerator. The obvious choice for me to make an orange cake. In the mood for experimenting, I decided to steam the cake instead of baking it, and concerned about the effect all that maida (all purpose flour) would have on  my little one’s tummy I substituted all purpose with half of whole wheat and half of multigrain flour. The cake came out moist and sweet, with just the right tang of oranges. 3 oranges peeled and deseeded 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup multigrain flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup sugar  powdered (Depending on sweetness of oranges) 1 pinch powdered cinnamon 1 cup beaten yo
