Super Sprowtz
October 3, 2011
This is MUST read for those parents with tots that don’t like their veggies. Introducing the Super Sprowtz – really cute concept created by Radha Agrawal. Think “Sesame Street” of nutrition filled with a bunch of healthy veggie characters! Radha’s narration of each vegetable is meant to inspire children to get excited about nutrition and vegetables. I love that each Super Sprowtz character is given a special power turning them into a vegetable super hero:) What child wouldn’t enjoy that?
Meet Miki Mushroom, Zach Zucchini, Erica Egglant, Brian Broccoli, Colby Carrot, Oliver Onion, Gita Garlic, Samy Spinach, Suzy SweetPea, and Todd Tomato. So so so CUTE, right? I wish I can purchase these veggies as plush toys.
In reading about Radha’s background, the passion for educating nutritional lifestyle is quite evident. Before venturing in SuperSprowtz, she with twin sister Miki opened up SLICE, and organic pizzeria in New York. Miki opened a second SLICE location in the West Village and launched build your own ‘pizza kits‘ which are sold in selective supermarkets. I’m hoping my twins have the ‘super power’ minds of these twins!
Check out this adorable Super Sprowtz video (Beyonce’s version of loving veggies). Also stop by the site, SuperSprowtz.com. There’s tons of great stuff like, recipes, educational information, games, videos, and you can purchase the books there as well. You can also buy the Super Sprowtz collection at Amazon.com.

Easy Recipes for a Diwali Feast
October 27, 2010
Hi everyone! It’s Richa from Mala Handmade and I’ve got Diwali party planning on my mind. The holiday will arrive in just a few short weeks, and for me Diwali is less about what you wear, but rather all about what to eat! I grew up eating Indian food daily, but like so many others I rarely make time to prepare an Indian meal (or admittedly any home cooked meals in general) these days – Diwali seems like the right time to break my takeout streak. And though Indian food has the reputation of being labor intensive, I firmly believe that with a well-stocked kitchen, Indian – and really any – food is less daunting than how it’s perceived and far more tasty, aromatic, and satisfying than whatever is delivered to my door.
Author Shubhra Ramineni just released “Entice With Spice“
“Entice with Spice” is one of several new Indian cookbooks attempting to make Indian cooking accessible – Indian icon Madhur Jaffrey is poised to release “At Home with Madhur Jaffrey

In response to your Oct. 27th article, “Readers, has Shubhra encouraged you to take the home-cooking plunge with me for Diwali or another holiday?” my answer is Yes!
I am already planning to cook the Sauteed Green Beans and Potatoes recipe from Entice with Spice in place of the common green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. It’s a great idea, in my opinion, because sauteing the green beans is much more delicious, nutritious, and less fattening than the common green bean casserole my family has served in the past. I also want to make the Creamed Spinach with Cheese Cubes for another delicious vegetable side. Now, I can’t wait for Thanksgiving!

Wee All The Way
May 6, 2010
Not sure how I missed this one! Wee Gallery’s Dave and Surya teach and design during the day and are parents for life. The idea of Wee Gallery was born after the birth of their first child. The duo learned that black-and-white and high contrast toys are best for infants. After noticing a lack of this theme in the kiddy market, they began doodling using this medium, which eventually got picked up by the San Francisco Museum of Art. The first sampling included flashcards and with its success came canvases, wall graphics, mobiles, letterpress cards, board books, stamps, cold-hot packs, and my favorite…the soft books! Don’t you love the name of the cold-hot packs, “Boo Boo Pack”?
I’m a sucker for flashcards – animals, alphabets, math, I LOVE all kinds. Wee Gallery’s black and white prints come from hand-painted originals of whimsical animals and repetitive shapes. Perfect combination for a nursery.
Wee Gallery recently posted the cutest soft books in their shop, but there’s only one left! I contacted Wee Gallery and they informed me that the books will be ready for retail in a couple of months; the ones listed were sample surpluses….thank goodness! The soft books are made from this gorgeous IKAT material in India. This cushy read has my niece written all over it!
Also, be sure to check out the Wee Gallery blog. They offer free downloads of prints and iron-on patch templates!

A Love Letter To India
February 22, 2010
One of the reasons I started BollyInStyle was because I was amazed at how many people were attracted to this one significant country – INDIA. Although being born and raised in the US, the connection for myself with the mother country has many different meanings. It seems everyone I meet has an inspiring story to relate what this land means to them.
When I heard about the book, To India with Love: From New York to Mumbai, it immediately reminded me of what BollyInstyle is all about. This book is a fantastic personal perspective of what India means to each – from celebrities, designers, artists, movie stars and industrialists. And the best part is that the book was edited by three New Yorkers who came up with the idea of using it to help the victims from the attacks in Mumbai. After the November 2008 attacks, Waris Ahluwalia, Tina Bhojwani and Mortimer Singer formed an organization called Mumbai: We Got your Back. They went across the world, asking all their friends for personal thoughts, comments, photographs, and art. The result is this amazing scrapbook-style book filled with beautiful images, inspiring letters, collages, and traveling stories. Proceeds of the book go to the Taj Public Service Welfare Trust.
Are you in {l.o.v.e} with India? These are just some of the people who are: Adrien Brody, Anthony Edwards, Kenneth Cole, Silvia Fendi, Diane von Furstenberg, Elizabeth Hurley, Padma Lakshmi, Natalie Portman, Rachel Roy, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Williamson. See how India opened their eyes…

I have only been to India one time but I did bring back many clothes like the ones above. I just love the cool fabrics and the prints, very colorful.
