And, because I am a recent cancer survivor (ovarian tumor at age 29!) and my oncologist (who is also Indian) recommended I eat turmeric because of the health benefits. I don't know anything about Indian food so I thought I would browse your blog to see if you had some ways to incorporate turmeric into my food. Well, let me just say, I am so floored after reading your blog! I saw that you mentioned "God" but I was wondering what you meant since there can be many meanings of that these days. I feel so much more bonded with you now knowing that your view of God is our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I am a strong Christian and definitely try to center my life around Him - which it sounds like you do too. I am so so so happy that you won the Next Food Network Star - that God has been going before you and blessing your obedience to Him and giving you a platform to share more of Him through your life. I really am just thrilled for you. So I am a newfound fan of yours tonight and plan on following your blog and watching your show. I also am interested that you are gluten-free...I just got home today from going to an integrative cancer center and am radically changing my diet. I am interested to see what healthy recipes you share! Oh and also, I have a blog: www.insightforgirls.com, where I share my faith through my cancer struggle as well as what God is teaching me. Also on Mondays I share a "Monday Morsel" about a new health tip. Anyway, this was super long-winded but I just wanted you to know how thrilled I am for you that God has entrusted you with much. I am excited to see how God will use you! PS- loved this entry about what you've been learning! Aarti,

Thank you for sharing this. I have been watching you for the past three weeks on FNS and I am praying for you to win. Remember, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." You have been so delightful to watch, you show so much honor and respect to the other team players and that quality is very important in life. Continue to remain true and faithful even in these tough times - I know God will honor you. I am praying for you. Aarti, what a wonderful testimony!! Thank you for sharing this.

Just so you know, God is really using you in and out of the kitchen to touch lives. I, too, struggle with faith sometimes especially when it comes to financial worries. Thank you for the reminder that our focus should be on His faithfulness and goodness to provide all of our needs. It's so easy to worry about the future, especially for me as a mom who wants only the best for her children. I know that He definitely has a plan for our lives. Anyways, thank you for sharing your faith and bringing hope to those of us who are reading:) This made my day today… Just so you know, God is really using you in and out of the kitchen to touch lives.

So, why fret, right?? Ha! Easier said than done I suppose. But actually perhaps it IS easy -- I love that one psalm where the psalmist talks to his soul -- "why are you sad oh my soul?". sometimes, if i talk to my soul, i can buck myself up. I think I might sound like a crazy person right now. hahahahaaa! In any case, thank you so much for your support! You're awesome! And I like your cakes! thank you for your kind comment! i’m feeling better today; i trust that just as His plan has been perfect so far, it will be perfect in the future. So, why fret, right??

I can't understand it, Aarti party is fantastic and so very funny, I watched an episode this morning, not for the fab recipie but because it always cheers me up. You have a gift, given by God maybe, but it would be crime if your obvious talent goes to waste. I too have had a sad lost of a friend resently and it does make you think more clearly about those stupid things we all worry about, and reminds us what is actually important. Bringing a smile to a friends face means more to me now, If you know it or not you have great presence and bring joy to all who watch. I hope that nasty snakes will not hinder you too much and you will find a door of opportunity soon. Keep trying something will happen for you soon, I am sure of it. (from the crazy cake lady on facebook, well not so crazy really- more frustrated, want to rule the world with my cakes and can't seem to get started) take care sus It broke my heart to read your blog, life is hard enough without having money worries too.

This touched me so much, the money thing blocking sunshine, the remarkable (right, no coincidence there) timing of the wedding, stretching to find and appreciate your blessings even when you don't really feel like it, bot mostly the idea of just being focused on looking down and how that robs your attention of where you need to be looking. You are a gifted writer (as well as cook!!!) and, I'm sorry but... how old are you again? My! You have a lot of insight for someone so young. I could barely tie my shoes at your age LOL.

I personally know how that feels to lose someone you love. Maybe it will help you to know that your post has really helped me. I am in my own "woe is me" place. I am only 46 but have a serious pulmonary disease and have had to move in with relatives and give up my kitties. I feel like I have lost all control over my life and am grieving my independence, my health, as well as my kitties. It is easy to blame Paul and say "how can you not trust Jesus when he tells you to walk, after all it is Jesus for Pete's sake". But here I am doing the same thing everyday by not trusting what he is doing with me. I just wish I knew what he was doing LOL. I am going to listen to that sermon you linked to. Thank you for posting this and you have my hugs! Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. I personally know how that feels to lose someone you love.
