Masalabilities! A series of recipes with a ‘masalalicious’ twist by moms for moms.
Our latest submission is from mom, Asiya Baig from Toronto.
Asiya is a stay at home mom of 2 boys and lives in Toronto. After having her eldest son, she gave up her full-time job as an actuarial analyst in an insurance company. She has always loved baking but never had much interest in cooking which all changed since becoming a stay at home mom! Asiya started a blog called Chocolate and Chillies in January 2011 to document her recipes and help improve her cooking. She focuses on trying to keep her recipes easy and healthy.
