Sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need. I needed one too. Fortunately, my brother visited me with my sis-in-law and niece. Who would miss a chance to go on a long holiday when it’s a family reunion after so long? I did the same too. They came for less than two weeks. So, we wanted to make each day memorable for them.

Immediately after two days of their arrival here in Charlotte, we packed our bags and left on a road trip from the thrilling Carowinds of North Carolina to the scenic drives in Pennsylvania. A few seconds into our drive, and we understood why National Geographic called it “one of America’s most scenic drives.” The picturesque view of the serene Rivers and the Endless Mountains left us speechless.

From the boundless mountains and gorgeous sceneries of Pennsylvania, we proceeded to the mighty Niagara Falls, breathtaking hurricane deck and the maid of the mist.

We continued the road trip from the Niagara Falls state park to the hustle bustle of New York City’s crowded streets. We were very worn-out but the holiday wasn’t over yet. From the Statue of Liberty in NY to the incredible Luray Caverns (a beautiful gift from the nature) in Virginia, and from the splendid Luray Caverns back to Charlotte, we enjoyed each bit of the trip.

It’s difficult to get the Soya chaap sticks here in the US. My brother got the dried soya chaap sticks for me from India. My hubby is a great fan of all the varieties of Soya chaaps we get in India. So, my brother had to bring this rarest delicacy available in the US for all of us. And this time, it was my sis-in-law, Richa, who wanted to prepare the recipe for us in our kitchen.

Thanks Richa for the delectable recipe and a perfect live demo. It was just awesome!

So, now you can very easily entertain your non-vegetarian guests with this scrumptious Vegetarian Chicken.
