Usually when I think about blogging a recipe it’s usually for a preset theme or something I find new and exotic. I rarely blog about items I make on a weekly basis or dishes that I don’t need a recipe but go mostly by muscle memory. I didn’t have anything to blog for the…

Cocoa Banana Mug Cake
I am sure overripe bananas are an issue of national concern. I mean, if I was still in India I would have blamed Modi for it and returned the picture book I received in kindergarten for best handwriting. But thankfully the situation is not as bad. There are mug cakes to the rescue. If…
Red Velvet Mug Cake
This mug treat is getting quite addictive. I have to admit I never used the microwave oven much except the occasional reheating of leftovers. But ever since I picked this mug treat theme for the Blogging Marathon, I have been having fun with my microwave. Not to mention that the daughter loves it. So…
Nutella Chocolate Mug Cake
I am not a frequent mug cake person. I picked this theme for the Blogging Marathon this month to explore this further. So I have been making 2-3 mug cakes every week now and the daughter is happily used to it. Nowadays she points to the oven and goes – “Amma, suthi suthi” (round…
Pasta alla Norma
The husband is so fixated on white sauce pastas that I hardly get a chance to try the others. Even when we eat out he refuses to try pesto or arabitta. So I was delighted when I chanced upon this dish. Pasta Alla Norma is originally from Sicily, Italy. It derives its name from…
Baked Pisto with Eggs
Today is the second day in the ‘Do the eggplant’ series as part of the Blogging Marathon. Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the husband has been throwing more tantrums than my daughter when it came to eggplants. But he loved the baked eggplant with Parmesan. So at least I have one go-to dish…
Baked eggplant with Parmesan
I have always had a turbulent relationship with the eggplant. Earlier I used to simply hate eating it while my mother made umpteen efforts to somehow get it down my throat. When I got married I had to get used to them because the husband loves eggplant. I have found that it is easier to…
Bottle Gourd Juice & a refreshed morning
I have been meaning to post this recipe for ages but somehow I miss clicking a picture and so postpone writing about it. Recipe, here, seems like a huge word for this drink. Just juice them all and drink up instantly. This was shared with me by a dietician I had visited over a…
Nutella Strawberry Hand Pies
Edit Edit Our love affair with Nutella is going strong. Today I decided to up the ante a little and bake something with Nutella. I finally picked some strawberries which were enticing me from atop the fruit counter in the local supermarket for quite some time. The daughter has been seeing strawberries only in her picture…
Dragon fruit Nutella Smoothie
I am discovering that creating a dish with Nutella is as easy as it is tough. It’s easy because Nutella pairs well with almost anything and gives it a beautiful chocolate-y touch. But it’s tough because Nutella hardly ever goes anywhere from the jar except directly into my mouth. It’s as if my hand, on…
