What says, “I ❤️ you, I care for you!”… better than a PINK PULAO loaded with veggies?! Well, that’s the story I’m going with today while we celebrate 19 years of togetherness.

Red roses, chocolates, mylar balloons… none of these feel like the right gifts anymore… gift of togetherness, health and a happy family surrounded by loved ones is all I look forward to!

Before I get all mushy, let me get to what’s in my plate today.☺️
In my thali~

• Cucumbers & onions
• ♡-shaped roasted chana barfis
