Sun-dried Tomato Olive Ricotta Crostini

When my husband and I were dating, I let him know I had a food blog on the side, but never shared my blog’s name. 

It was still early in our relationship so I didn’t wanna share every single detail of my life, and as you guys know, I share a decent amount on my blog. A girl’s gotta remain mysterious. 🙂

A few weeks passed, and yet I still wouldn’t share any blog details, nor would he stop inquiring. I just shared about my family, friendships, work, and interests.

The Phone Call

One morning as I was getting ready for work, Mr. Honey called me around 8:30 AM my time, it was 5:30 AM in California (sigh). Here’s how our conversation went:

Me: Hello.
Him: Hey Honey, What’s Cooking?
Me: What’s that? (of course, in my head I was LOL)
Him: Your blog.
Me: No it’s not, what are you talking about?
Him: Yes it is, I already read a lot of it.
In my head I was thinking… OMG… I’m no longer a mystery.
Me: Okay, but how did you find out?
Him: Well, I was stalking you on Facebook, and looked up your best friend, Anu. I landed on her page and saw you tagged her in a few photos (that were public). It wasn’t that hard to figure out.

Well, turns out my then boyfriend (now husband) learned a lot about me by reading my blog. One thing he most certainly learned is that if he was gonna end up with me, he would have to get used to a healthy lifestyle, which btw he still kinda complains about. With that said, so we can all be happy, I will make something a little indulgent on occasion. This one’s a party favorite and a total crowd pleaser.

This Sun-dried Tomato Ricotta Crostini is:

    I’m an absolute fan of sun-dried tomatoes! I tasted them for the first time a couple of years ago in Italy (that was my first visit there, so it was full of delicious products and tasty things). I brought a package of those tomatoes to America and cooked sooo many dishes with them: pizza, pasta, sandwiches, sauces etc. Untill my family and I couldn’t even look at them all in all 😀 Now I saw this recipe and remember that perfect smell and stunning taste… And now I’m on my way to kitchen to cook these crostini. Thank you! I like your blof so much :)))

I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
