Chai is the Hindi name for tea, which apparently, was derived from the Chinese name 'cha'. Chai contains a blend of different spices, varying vastly through different regions and cultures.

Tacos are awesome traditional Mexican food, made with a shell of ground corn. Today, that is what I am getting excited about here in my kitchen because I've created the most delectably delicious 'Kind Earth Kitchen' version of these little beauties. I think you will love 'em! A taco is basically a 'tortilla' folded or [...]

Once upon a time, I thought it would be fun to make spring rolls. Naturally, as common sense would have it, I followed the instructions on the rice paper wrap packet. Pretty simple you would think.
