One thing and another.....and it's been about 3 weeks since I updated this blog.
Truly speaking..I'm very uninspired right now.
My mind feels blocked and I don't know what to write.
Food blogs are not just about recipes, are they?
If they were, it would be easy to simply post a recipe and be done, but it does not work that way.
Yesterday was Sid's 4th birthday.
He had really been looking forward to it and so I asked him yesterday if he was excited to be four.
And he said grumpily "No mom, I feel just the way I did when I was three!"
I laughed.
Most adults are just like that.
We ache, wait and pine for something special to happen.
And then when it does, we realize it does not make any difference at all.
Anyways, I don't want to get too serious on you, so here are some Spider man cupcakes that I baked for Sid's party today.
Eating healthy and making conscientious choices regarding food comes with challenges.
Sid wanted a Spider man party. OK , except if you want to make or buy a Spider man cake, it's going to have tons of color in it.
I would've made it in the past.
But how can I, now that I am aware of the perils of the horrible blues and reds in commercial food?
Plus the son told me very seriously "Mom, make sure you don't put any color on my cake".
Yes Sir....four year old son.
So I made these....iced the web on the cardboard and placed the cupcakes in the web. A few spiders here and there, a light shake of sprinkles, and a toy spider man to complete the look.
Happy Birthday my sweet son.
And remember...with great power comes great responsibility..! ;-)

See ya'll. Hopefully I'll get back in the mood soon and have something exciting to share.

gosh havent blogged in so long - and you're right its just more and more difficult to find inspiration!
Birthday wishes and hugs to dear Sid.
I read this post to my superhero crazy son, and Sid's not wanting any colours on his cake seems to have made an impression, which I hope stays:)
That is so cute!!
Come back to the food blog world soon!
I go through phases where I'm hot inspired to blog, I think it happens to everyone. Those cupcakes are really cute though!
Good to see a post here again. I don't think you have to post a recipe always ...I mean just a snap of a cup of ginger tea with some crackers would be great with your ramblings Bharti ... which are always good to go thru. ;-)
God bless your son.:-)
I was guessing you went back to work.Glad to see you back.
My boy is also fond of the super heroes figures.you know I'm lot like you ,always avoiding the unnatural colors in the food,love the smart idea of cupcakes on web icing.
My best wishes to your adorable little one:)
Good to have you back Bharti. You'll find inspiration soon, when you least expect it too! happy birthday to your precious little Sid!
Your son knows what he wants. Very informed choice.
Is that spiderman sitting in a cupcake?
Nice too see you back. Sometimes it's a pain to put out that next post, but don't give up.:)
Thanks for all the birthday wishes and "good to see me" comments. I feel so touched that you guys are always around to encourage and support. Blogging friends rock!
Belated Birthday wishes to your son Bharti...the cupcakes look cute and I am impressed you managed to get the right look without using food colors :-)
Spiderman is exciting enough, Bharti :)
I know what you mean about lacking inspiration when you've been away for a while. It's your space, so just put down what's in your heart. We'll always be here :)
Best Birthday wishes to Bharti!! The Spiderman Cupcakes ROCK!!
Belated Happy Birthday to Sid! And get back to regular blogging...I miss your stories
