Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Bites with Butterscotch Frosting
These mini-cakes are dense and similar in texture to a brownie. I use almond flour which I make myself as a substitute for ap flour. One of my husband's close friends is allergic to gluten, so I always make this when she visits.
The cakes are ideal for chocolate addicts. The small sized bites make your guests feel less guilty, but will also have everyone coming back for seconds.

Baji's Masala Chai
Masala Chai is a very strong tea flavored with a lot of Indian spices. You might have tried it at your neighborhood coffee shop, but this is an authentic recipe I got from my husband's late grandmother. Everyone called her Baji.
The first time I had some, I stayed up all night, and not knowing what to do, I cleaned, ironed, vacuumed and shopped online. I finally collapsed in exhaustion the next morning at 10 a.m. So beware if like me, you're not used to too much caffeine, it's very strong! Or drink it in the morning. Enjoy!
