Tamarind Rice

  The husband loves rice and I can easily live without rice for the rest of my life. I love cheese and the husband runs away at the mere mention of it. So most of our fights are about food – what to make, what to eat, where to go out for a meal.    Back…

Quick Dinner Rolls 

    Bread is one of my major weaknesses. I could probably sustain on fresh bread and cheese for the rest of my life. So I have these sudden cravings for fresh bread and am always on the lookout to make fresh bread fast. So this recipe that I found by chance is a huge blessing….

Egg & cheese toast

   This is my favorite start breakfast because it’s easy, quick and filling. If I have bread at home, I usually make one of these for each one of us and since it’s quick, I can sleep an additional 15 minutes in the morning which is absolute bliss!     The funny part is I just…

Raagi Dosa

       It’s my constant endeavour to feed the husband and kid some finger millets. But I am usually unsuccessful. So whenever I get a chance, I make raagi dosas which is the least hated form for the duo. I also like the fact that it’s quick and easy to make. I have tried various…

Whole wheat Pancakes

I typically need instant breakfast ideas on a Monday morning. That’s the day we are most likely to oversleep, run around in circles trying to find stuff and that’s the day the daughter decides to wake up earlier than her usual time and demand a fifteen minute cuddle. So instant breakfast for me is what I…

Baked Plantain Chips

We are beginning with Bakeathon today for the entire month of December. We are posting baked recipes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the whole month. If that is isn’t exciting I don’t know what is! The husband loves plantain so much that he can eat it every other day and that is saying a…

Whole wheat orange muffins

    This is a recipe I am very sentimental about. This was the first recipe I baked. I started baking around two years ago and was pretty nervous. I had read up a lot on baking and everyone spoke about how important precise measurements are and how necessary it is to choose the right way…

Baked Potato Wedges

  Having a toddler at home means making more potatoes. It is one thing that they eat without much of a fuss. So I am always trying out different recipes with potatoes to keep the variety and health aspects intact. But once in a way, a little indulgence is allowed, right? I found this amazing…

Cheesy Ropes

This week’s theme at the Blogging Marathon is tea time snacks. This reminds me of this awesome samosa kachori shop in Bangalore which was very close home. Usually the husband would walk to the store around 4 pm during weekends and get fresh and hot kachoris (for me) and samosas (for him) and we would…

Sour cream & cheese dip

My brother is here for a week nd so the days are full of chatting, laughing and lots of eating. He is probably the only person who likes absolutely everything I make. So it’s fun to be cooking and baking for him. Dips are one of his favorite eats and he likes dips with everything….
