We always try to explore the country apart from our stay in Mumbai, as India offers so many different experiences with different topography, from mountains to beaches, deserts to forests, and wild life to cultural heritage. On our previous trip in 2022, we visited the Himalayas around Manali. This year I chose Goa, a small mini trip for Jason’s birthday. Though sea and sand are nothing new for us, as we live on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean here in Florida, I still wanted Jason to feel the charm and exotic feel of Goa....

Picky Eaters Sometime between age 1 and 2, most kids go through a normal phase of picky eating known as “neophobia.” They become more selective than they were as babies, both due to a decrease in appetite—growth slows down during the toddler years as compared to the first year of life—and as they become more aware of the world around them.

Caramelized onions, crumbled veggie burger, fresh basil, and delicious creamy vodka sauce. That is all it takes to make this delicious pizza. Vodka sauce is my new favorite pizza base, made creamy with cashews and a little cheesy with vegan parm or nutritional yeast.

I absolutely love my light and fluffy Zucchini Slice recipe! It’s my go-to for using fresh zucchini when it’s in season. The best part? It only takes me 15 minutes to prep.

It was simple – just mix some ingredients and bake....
