Whole-Wheat Peanut Butter Cookie
Here’s a whole some cookie (for kids and adults alike), with rich peanut flavour and the goodness and health benefits of whole wheat. From the original site: have some really good “whole-wheat” cookie recipes which I often make and since its summer vacation time, with the kids at home and constantly hungry, we decided to add peanut butter to make the cookies more “kid-friendly…
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…
Chicken Stew with Biscuits
Easy and delicious, those two words define this dish perfectly. A perfect dinner (or lunch) dish to share with your loved ones on cold evenings or. like it happens at my place, on game nights. (Adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style, 2002 with my inputs in bracket) Ingredients: 3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on (I used boneless pieces) 3 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and freshly…
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…
Conchigliette & Three Cheese with Lobster & Bacon
I’ve created an elegant twist to an American classic and baked it up in a portion-controlled size. Baked simply in ramekins, each one is filled with nutritious whole wheat baby shells and a delicious blend of three cheeses — gruyere, sharp white cheddar and pecorino romano cheese. And for that elegant touch, and to create a twist on a classic dish, lobster and crumbled bacon are blended in for…
Perkedel, Potato Corn Beef Patty
These potato patties are crispy on the outside & soft inside, really delicious. I like adding Corn Beef to my recipe but the meat is optional. You must try these if you haven’t & they’re not difficult to make at home. You could also mould them into cartoon shapes for fussy kids to make a lunch box for them!
Quinoa Chickpea Pilaf
I’d always wanted to try a recipe using Quinoa, but wasn’t quite sure where to begin. Honestly, it took me a while to even get the pronunciation right. I never tasted or used Quinoa previously but had always read so much about how quick and easy it is to cook. I knew I wanted to start somewhere and decided to experiment cooking to taste it just itself and see if this was something I and my family would enjoy. From th…
Spinach and Corn Sandwich
These wholesome sandwiches could be anything from a healthy breakfast, a lunch, an after school snack or a light dinner option. The lovely yellow corn nibbles on a bed of green spinach is a beautiful sight in itself. I love it for the ease with which it can be prepared. From the original site: I literally have to struggle to make my elder one have some veggies. She doesn’t mind it as Pulao but if it’s a stir fry, or…
Strawberry Yogurt Parfait
I enjoy adding yogurt into everything I cook. So, in our household its a constant on the list of ‘staples’ on the weekly grocery list. With so many different kinds and brands available its tough at times to select ‘a’ specific kind. I use store bought and make it at home, when I can. Of the store bought ones I like the Greek style the most. Its much creamier and easy to work with. Yogurt with honey and…
Goat Cheese Spread (Dip) with Spinach-Basil Pesto
I’ve tried this recipe quite a few times and find this to be one of the simplest and easiest appetizers to put together both as a dip and a spread with some water crackers. From the original site: I customized this recipe for pesto by playing with the key ingredients. I use fresh basil and spinach leaves in a 1:1 ratio and this sort of avoids the intensity that you would get by just adding basil or replacing it ent…
