Baby Ganoush
Hi guys! Hope you’ve had a wonderful Indian Food Wednesday. Thank you so much to those of you who have already hit up the Sun Warrior deal – I replenished my stash, too 🙂 The promo is good until Friday, or until we run out!
The inspiration for today’s post title:
Thanks, Evan! 🙂 Love it even more because babaganoush is very similar to my favorite Indian dish, baigan bhartha.
Meet Baby Ganoush.
Made of 75% Indian buffet:
(Channa masala, cabbage, dal, a couple potaters, spinach and gajar halwa)
and 25% roti:
Oh roti, I just want to curl up and live in you.
The Pilot and I came back to the casa, he went back to work, I took a nap with the puppers on the couch (a wee bit exhausted this afternoon), and then put on the only Lululemon shirt I own:
and did some yoga.
(60 minute hip opening flow a la YogaDownload.com)
Namaste, yo.
Hahaha. That pose would be called “Flying Ninja.”
(Can someone please give me some DSLR self-timer tips?? All the pics were blurry)
Viesa judged my yoga goofing.
I just grabbed an apple with mesquite and cinnamon:
and am about to head back to work. 😀
Have a great night and I’ll see ya in the morning!
xoxo,
Gina

hahahahaha I love the ninja picture!! 🙂 Cute yoga outfit!
hahaha, love the ninja! Will have to try that one out during my next practice 😉
Love the ninja picture! The Indian buffet sounds amazing as well.
Once I asked someone how to spell baba ganoush, and he told me, “B-A-B-A…ganoush.”
Totally perfect name for Indian food baby.
LOL!
I am planning to enjoy some serious Indian food tonight. Get in my belly!
Judgmental dog is…judgmental.
I think its because when you set the self timer, there’s nothing in the background for the camera to focus on so it gets all confused and is blurry when you step into the picture as it’s not focusing on you, or if you were stood in front of the camera its forcused onto a much closer range. I’ve had this problem too! Get a remote for it is ideal, or else you could try putting something into the frame (or not standing in front of the camera) and move it out of the way when you jump into the picture to take theshot. Hope that makes sense!
Why is it that the dogs have to be ON the yoga mat? Mine know I don’t want them on it (don’t like doing downward dog in dog hair), so they get as close as possible to it without touching it. It’s pretty funny.
LOVE baby ganoush. Evan is truly HILARIOUS.
I just saw a phrase lately that said “Going Gaga for Baba!”
ahaha! love it!
Baby Ganoush — how adorable! Congrats 🙂
That roti bread always looks sooo good 🙂 What is the difference between roti and naan?
roti is whole wheat, naan is completely white flour
lovin the lulu on you lady!! great color 🙂
hehe perfect food baby name! Love the new yoga pose – trademark it, girl!
Hahaha I definitely giggled when I saw that on Twitter!
Baby ghanouj. I love it. And I love that Lululemon top!! I probably sound like a total creeper but your arms look amazing- all that boot camp definitely pays off!
thanks, girl!
Ha ha love that you’re naming food babies now!
I have had that same problem with setting the self timer. It’s annoying.
Definitely get a timer if you are doing self portraits. OR grab a stuffed animal about where your head will be and focus on that before you set the timer! That should help!
good to know, thanks carrie! 🙂
Love your LuLu lemon top! Super cute!
Your Indian looks great.
I made a coconut chicken curry and some Naan bread…from scratch I might add…I was super impressed by how they turned out…yum!
The ninja pic is the best! Your Lululemon top looks great on you!
thanks! super comfy 🙂
How to fix your timer issues: Easiest fix – Turn off auto-focus and manual focus to about the spot you’ll be at when the shutter goes off. If you have a hard time trying to focus to an empty space (which is hard to do) take a few photos until you find the sweet spot.
You’ll want to make sure you’re shooting at smaller aperture to get a better depth of field, that way your focus doesn’t have to be dead on.
Some cameras have different timer-focus functions that you can set. I recommend reading that 1000 page tome of information that comes with your camera.
If you need more tips just e-mail me.

hahah i’ve been dreading that manual FOREVER. i might do it.
thanks for the tips- hope it’s ok if i email ya for help 🙂
Love the Lululemon top!! Looks super comfy.
for your dslr, it focuses when you first hit the shutter. You either want to put something there so it can focus, if you cant do that put it on manual focus, then focus on something in that part of the room and then hit the self timer shutter. if you focus on the wall behind you, then it’ll make you blurry.
oh and try getting a remote, those things are AWESOME 🙂
awesome tips- thank you!
Love the food baby’s name. And the flying ninja. 😉
For pictures to not be blurry be sure your shutter speed is really fast. At least 1/125 second.
Faster shutter speed = less blurry. But remember to adjust the ISO and aperture to make up for a faster shutter speed so that the image is still properly exposed.
thank you!
The lululemon shirt is absolutely gorgeous.
No Indian food for me tonight. It’s leftovers for dinner!
I believe a Ninja would tuck her thumbs in.
🙂
My dog loves getting on the mat too! I think I need some Indian food in my life, may wait to the weekend.
yo, looks like evan needs to get into comedy! that is gold. it takes a lot to make me LOL, but… definitely laughing alone in my room.
that ninja picture of you is SO CUTE! i just did hot yoga for the first time evah this week and i did NOT look like that. more like drowned rat on floor pose.
Gina I just read your post again 🙂
You are so cute in your yoga pics! I love the new tank.
that was a great joke! way to go evan 🙂
I finally made your Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake after staring at that post for 3 days! FANTASTIC! The only difference in mine was using millet flour for a gluten-free version, 1 T of unsweetened applesauce, and a sprinkle of brown sugar because I don’t have stevia. I also made a simple chocolate sauce from 1/2 T melted chocolate chips and 1/2 T applesauce. So good! I’ll be making it for the boy very soon 🙂
that sounds GLORIOUS! i’m so glad you liked it! i just ate one, too 🙂
Hey…I was reading my Cooking Light magazine, and saw this recipe and thought of you and your Indian Food Wednesday! It is a Indian Yogurt Dip that sounds right up your alley 🙂 Let me know if you try it!
Indian-style basic raita: combine 1½ cups plain low-fat yogurt, ¾ cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber, ¾ cup chopped seeded tomato, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garam masala. Cover and chill before serving.
yum! thank you for sharing it with me 🙂
I heart you.
That is all.
No, that’s not all… one of my students today told me that one of the few Spanish words he knows is “berenjena”
love eggplant so much 🙂
I made Baba Ghanoush first time last week….I used too much tahini, didn’t care for it..need to master that one.
Love the only lululemon shirt–I own none…taking yoga there in Sunday, not tempted to even spend that much on a yoga shirt, but yours really looks comfy!!!!
hahaha, i thought bella was the judgmental one. lol. guess she’s rubbed off.
btw, do you know of any good indian restaurants in the atlanta area?
hahah bella always judges me.
so does vies, though 😉
no i’ve never had indian in atlanta… i HAVE had seasons 52 though if you haven’t tried it yet 🙂
Can you give some tips on what kind of training bras to use? Apart from the few lucky ones I own, I don’t find a good variety.
my favorite one is from victoria’s secret… and they discontinued it 🙁 i have yet to find another that i really love
Baby ganoush! Definitely cracked me up…oh how i love baignan bhartha and roti and channa masala. mmmmmmmm.
Fierce looking top, even fiercer pose 🙂
Baby Ganoush..too cute! Evan is awesome, love that kid!
Your Lulu top looks fabulous on you! That coral just POPS against your tanned skin and gorgeous brown locks 🙂 Work.It.Girl.
And the flying ninja..totally into that one! Ha!
🙂
Loving the Lulu top, it suits you so much! the indian meal looks lovely, i really want to try Roti.
I eat my apples with chili powder, cinnamon, and stevia mmmmmm. Love the lulumon shirt!
Just started reading your blog — can you tell me a little more about the Sun Warrior? I’m interested! 🙂
hey emily!
welcome to my little blog 🙂 sun warrior is a raw, vegan, brown rice protein powder. the ingredients and nutritional stats are amazing, and it also tastes amazing 🙂 we ran out of sun warrior yesterday but are hoping to get more in and run the promo again on monday
Apple, cinnamon, and mesquite??? Did I read that last part right??
yup- it has a sweet carob taste.. doesn’t taste like bbq 🙂
So what do you think of the new yoga gear? Do you like it more than your usual workout clothes? I think their tanks are great for yoga because they actually stay put when you are(or trying to)invert;) And even when doing the vinyasas, other tops that I have tried move around and expose the belly or back…I’m not a fan of exposing those areas or worring about tugging at my top while trying to clear my mind and focus on the poses! That color looks great on you btw!!!
i’m trying to deny it… but i’m obsessed already. i wore the lulu pants to work last night and when i came home, i left them on until i went to bed because they were SO comfy.
indian food looks great!
You look so cute, Gina….goofy, yes..but oh soo cute!
hahah thank you. yes, i am a giant goofer 😉
love the tank – i have the same one!!! 🙂 🙂
express? 🙂
