Hello friends!!!

Stepping away from technology is a revelation, every single time. Not only I was away from blogging, but all social media accounts. And it has been glorious!

Its essential to go offline every now and then. This “noise” that is pretty essential in my life, but a break is always necessary. Not feeling a tinge of guilt and you shouldn’t too. But thank you so much f0r sticking around 🙂

Many of you wrote emails, left comments on various social media accounts, worried about the sudden absence. And I want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to write to me. I apologize for my sudden disappearance. Next time, I’ll take effort to at least make an announcement and not just disappear 😉

Back to good food! We disappeared from blogging scene, but have been indulging with nothing short of deliciousness. Spring has sprung a whole array of beautiful foods.

So the only best way to enjoy spring is with fresh and colorful salads. The only way.

Loved the multicolored carrots!! I was there in the sunshine state a week ago for the spring vacation. It was really fun. I too played around with beets and carrots over the weekend for a recipe. Will be posting it soon.

Can’t wait to read about your recipe. Already sounds delicious!

Dixya — thanks love. it was more of a personal break than vacay, really. But sometimes, life priorities precedes over blogging. Keeping everyone in Nepal in our thoughts and prayers during these trying times.
