Matcha Cake<\/a> for Arun\u2019s birthday. The recipe was also one of my first blog posts. A year has passed, my blog has turned one year old, and Arun Sai is now two years old. So far, I have learned so many things from this experience with my blog and the motherhood journey.\u00a0<\/p>\nRight now, as I write this blog post, I feel tired, happy, humbled, inspired, full of life, with ideas and creativity and overwhelm by the intensity of the process. I also feel loved and strong all at the same time. It is an exciting journey that I have embarked on, and I can only be grateful for everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For Arun’s second anniversary, I decided to make a Pistachio Cake with Lime and Basil.<\/strong> The main ingredient is pistachio because, lately, Arun has an affinity for it. This is the first time I\u2019m making this cake, and I\u2019m happy with how easy it was to make it and how delicious it turned out.\u00a0<\/p>\nWe are in the process of eliminating dairy products from our diet, so we experiment with different kinds of products like hemp milk, soy yoghurt, and vegetable butter. The process is challenging and empowering at the same time. I used both vegetable and dairy products for this recipe, but you can choose what you prefer the most. Dare to be creative and adapt the recipe to suit your tastes and that of your family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I believe\u00a0words and thoughts have tremendous power<\/a>. The mood you’re in when you are making something to eat is transmitted to the dishes you make. With this in mind, during the preparation of this Pistachio Cake With Lime and Basil, I repeated in my mind, \u201cMay all who eat this cake be blessed with love, abundance and wellness.\u201d I also repeated the word \u201cLove\u201d out loud many times. I believe that it is a beautiful exercise of presence, self-awareness and love. Try it the next time you are preparing something to eat and see how you feel afterwards.\u00a0<\/p>\nSo, let\u2019s have some fun and create something delicious.<\/p>\n
