This week my #sundaybreakfaststories features the humble #pao or bread from the state of #Goa on the western coast of India Known to be a coastal state this puffy freshly baked bread is made early in the morning and sold from two wheelers door to door. We bought this from a seller near our bnb it was still warm from the oven, soft and fresh! Dunk it in coffee or have it with eggs or just by itself it is equally delightful 😊 Such is the pleasure of simple local food! . . . . . . #sundaymood #foodstories #myfoodiestories #breakfastessentials #whatsonmyplate #whatsonmytable #breakfastspread #eatlocal #localfood #hiddengems #goanfood #freshfood #foodielife #foodpicoftheday #indianblogger #indianinoakpark #indianinchicago #indianfood #myfoodietrails

We started summer holidays this year with short day trips in and around the city. One such trip was to escape the hustle bustle of the city to Anderson Japanese Gardens at Rockford Illinois. Located around an hour and half away from Chicago these serene gardens transport you into a quiet and peaceful world. You can simply stroll through them, enjoy the natural beauty or simply pick a spot by the waterfall and relax...nothing can be more rejuvenating than the peaceful sounds of flowing water💕 More such info on day trips coming soon! . . . . . . . . . . . #summertime #summer2019 #summerinchicago #thingstodoinchicago #thingstodoinchicagowithkids #daytrips #daytripper #longdrive #rockford #rockfordillinois #andersonjapanesegardens #japanesegarden #peace #happiness #waterfalls #green greenery #traveljournal #travelogue #myfoodietrails #mytraveljournal

Summer on my plate - these pleasant summer days mean more time spent outdoors and more energy spent! To keep your energy levels high you need to eat well and nourish your body with natural sugars and vitamins. So today for breakfast I mixed together whole wheat flour with finely chopped red cabbage, carrot and spinach some roasted flax seeds and sesame seeds, rolled it in a soft dough and made flatbreads / parathas out of it. I served them warm with freshly made mint & lime chutney. This was a pretty filling meal and was well nourished start to my day! . . . . . . . #paratha #indianfood #breakfast #vegetarianfood #veganfood #simplerecipes #indianfoodmadeeasy #chicagofoodie #indianinchicago #instafood #mykitchenstories #eatingfortheinsta #eattherainbow #veggingout #whatsonmyplate #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #oakparkil #oakparkfoodie #homecookedmeal #homechef #homekitchen #myfoodietrails #madeinindia

We celebrated a small festival yesterday which is usually celebrated by women in Maharashtra state of India known as Vat Purnima it is similar to the pretty popular festival of #karvachauth The concept behind this festival is that a married woman will pray to the deities for a long and healthy life for her husband and that their marriage should last beyond infinity. I prepped a simple vegetarian festive platter of potato subji, lentils, spiced rice (masale bhat) and roti served with traditional Indian papads and Aamras from Swad Swipe left for a full picture of the meal💕⏩ . . . #indianfood #indianfestivals #desikhana #desiinchicago #festivefood #vatpurnima #marathifestival #maratha #marathi #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #marathimulgi #mumbaichimulgi #homecookedmeal #homechefs #foodpicoftheday #foodblogger #chicagoblogger #igers #igchicago #myfoodietrails #mykitchenstories
