I can’t believe that I have successfully completed the Bake-a-thon. One whole month of various bakes has been amazing. I must admit it looks nothing like I had planned – I wanted to include the pineapple upside down cake which has been on my to-do list forever. I wanted to try out lasagna which…

Another way to bake potatoes
My two and half year old daughter has been pretty involved in bake-a-thon with me. Her eyes sparkle when I switch on the oven to preheat it and she runs around screaming -‘Amma, cake, bread’ irrespective of what is being baked. The best part was the husband asking her – ‘what is Amma doing?’…
Sugared Sables
There are cookies and there are cookies. This one, though, should have been named buttery sables. It simply melts in your mouth, which is not surprising considering the amount of butter added. But it’s so worth it because you get such goodness rarely and it must be enjoyed. Christmas time after all! It’s a sweet,…
Stuffed & Baked Apples
This is a sinfully delightful way to eat apples. It’s rich and juicy and warm and cozy. Also, it’s apples and hence predominantly guilt free! The best part was I could get almost one apple along with some raisins and walnuts into the little one’s stomach. Makes it a favorite right away! Also,…
Butterscotch Blondies
These amazing butterscotch blondies are again from the 500 Cookies Compendium. These are simply amazing in taste with crunch from the walnuts and the richness from the butterscotch and choco chips to top it off. Its to be eaten to be believed. But we had a mini disaster while baking. Everything was going pretty smoothly….
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….
Baked Mushroom Parmesan
If you have read more than three posts in my blog, you will know I simply love Parmesan. It lends itself beautifully to grating unlike cheddar which has to be frozen or mozzarella which sticks to the grater and makes cleaning a mess. It’s not just the ease but it’s perfectly salty and creamy…
Roasted eggplant with lemon garlic sauce
I finally found these large eggplants which are such a rarity here. We only get the smaller ones which are not the best for baba ghanoush or sutta kathrikai (South Indian brinjal delicacy). After satisfying ourselves on both those counts, I still had one large eggplant left and was looking for a…
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…
