Welcome to Bake with Sonia, my fabulous little food blog. Right now, it is more of my travel blog, because I have dropped everything, and taken off to INDIA! SOME HISTORY…I grew up in southern California, +father +mother +two brothers +puppy. I graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2011, landed a job, and moved to …
I love good quotes. Fortune cookies. Little notes from the Yogi tea tags. What a great way to put a smile on your face. Last week I was cleaning out my room – I am one of those people who saves EVERYTHING. Just in case, you know, I need it later in life. Or so …
HEY thank you everyone for reading my last post. I am overwhelmed with gratitude by the number of views it received – the highest number in a long time, ESPECIALLY for a post that didn’t involve chocolate. Tons and tons of good energy flowed our way, just by people reading. I totally believe that. Thoughts …
Hey America. You drive me crazy. I have to admit. I miss India incredibly. In five months, my life was turned upside down into something new, something simple, something princess-y, something good. It is a bit strange being back. And I keep forgetting I am HERE and not THERE. Things have been rough at Casa de …
I’m getting on a California bound plane in five hours. We booked it today. All my big important decisions in life happen in a heartbeat. Literally a heart beat. On the surface, I seem to be really bad with decisions. You could say I am one of the most frustrating decision makers. But only when …
Gosh these last few weeks have been a whirlwind of events! Let me tell you about it. Family is in town!!! HEYO! This makes me a happy happy girl. I forgot how much I missed these people – my dad and older brother. They know me inside and out, and we can all connect on …
I can’t sleep. I am in a bit of a conundrum. Today was weirdly emotional for me. Not in like a break-down crying way. But inside, I was jumping from nervousness to doubt to excitement, then joy, then a little fear, and overall confusion. What is going on? I’ll tell you. India is throwing a …
HEY remember when this used to be a food blog? I know, I also almost forgot too . A recipe post at last!! Get excited. Sunday was Grandpa’s 81st birthday. He actually turned 82, but his parents had lied on his birth certificate and made him one year younger, in case he failed school or …
“All it takes is 20 seconds of insane courage and great things will happen.” Says the movie We Bought a Zoo. Nice message. Cute movie. I recommend. I just had an experience where I was glad for trying. For being curious and determined enough to experiment. I was down the street at KSHITIJ yoga center …
The human body is amazing. Amazing. The more I read and learn about it, the more impressed I am. All these cells and neurons and systems scurry around together to keep your machine running. Not in a mechanistic way, but in a fluid, flexible way that can quickly glide and shift strategy depending on your …
Indians like to take crooked pictures. Apparently the angle makes you look better. Delhi International terminal 3 is my favorite airport, hands down. First of all, it’s a real airport, with intercoms and wifi and sliding side-walks. Many Indian airports I’ve been to are like big and un-air-conditioned houses that just so happen to have …
