Giveaway
This week's giveaway is being put on by Saffron Fix. I recently discovered their company and I'm in love. We cook Indian food in our family every day. Some of the dishes are quick and easy, but most of them take a while. There are so many steps to follow in order to prepare an authentic Indian dish. Not to mention authentic recipes are hard to come by. Saffron Fix is the answer! They sell meal kits full of pre prepared ingredients and recipes. They take all the hard work out because they know moms already have a full plate! As a start up company they're only able to sell and ship to East Coasters (NY, NJ, CT, VA, DC, MD, DE or PA) for the time being. If you live on the East Coast, be sure to check them out today! This week they're giving away a recipe kit from this month's menu!!
I hope you're as excited as I am because it is delicious!! Indian food is our favorite and I think it may be yours soon too!

Intercultural Couples: Why Should You Cook For Your Loved One?
This post is sponsored by Saffron Fix. As always all my opinions expressed here are my own.
As a wife in an intercultural relationship, I can tell you making food from a culture so new to me can be intimidating. When I first started making Indian food for our family, I had no idea what I was doing. The first time I made chicken curry was a disaster and to be really honest, I wasn't extremely motivated to keep trying. There are so many couples out there facing similar situations. They want to learn to make the food their loved one grew up with, but they're intimidated and tend to give up early. 
Taking the time to learn how to make food from your loved one's childhood means more than you think.
It shows your spouse you love them.
When you take the time to learn something new, it reminds your spouse how much you love them. Sometimes, you need to go beyond just saying "I love you," and actually show them.
It brings you and your spouse together.
Food has always been the thing to bridge cultures and bring people together. Whether you're eating or cooking together, you're putting everything else on hold and making each other the priority.
It reminds your spouse you want to blend cultures.
Blending cultures in your food is a great idea because it means you're both experiencing it together. Every bite you have and every minute you take to prepare the dish, is another moment you're blending cultures in your family. ---You can see how important it is to blend cultures in your family meals, but don't let it intimidate you. All you need to do is ask for help. If this is you and you're looking for a little help to learn how to make authentic dishes for your family, Saffron Fix is the answer.
