Corn on the Cob: Fast, easy, & No Mess!

Corn on the Cob: Fast, easy, & No Mess!

My sister in law turned me on to this technique a few months ago, and I’ve used it twice since then.  I don’t think I’ll ever go back to my old method of doing corn on the cob! I love corn, but I hate all the mess and hassle.  I’ve always boiled my corn, but it’s such a pain to heat up the giant pot of water–it takes time.  And I HATE shucking corn.  It’s messy, and it gets…

Mango Mousse

Mango Mousse

We had a stash of wonderful alphonso mangoes, which I utilized quite aptly, if I may say so- in the form of a mango mousse. Alphonso mangoes come from the western India belt, and are known for their pulpy nature and a dark yellow colour. I have come to learn over many years, that the best use of an Alphonso is in the form of a milk shake. In more recent times, I have used it for a mango cheesecake and icecream too- trul…

Mother's Day Gift Idea: Sweet Sally's

Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Sweet Sally’s

The lovely folks at Sweet Sally’s were kind enough to send us some samples of their tasty bars for review, and they passed the test with flying colors. The Boy was a big fan of the Rainy Day Fudge Brownies, as you can see! I thought they definitely had a homemade, rather than store bought taste to them. The Romantic Raspberry Squares were a little sweet for my taste–but then, I’m weird when i…
