I usually do not let out any opportunity to sneek in veggies in my toddlers meals. Here is another example.

Summer 2011 begins - Watermelon Salad

Image
 I seriously do not understand the underestimation of fruits. Why are they so proudly eaten only for desserts. Why not for appetizers or in a side dish? When a tomato claims its place in all soups and gravies, what about other fruits. I am putting myself on a mission to make it possible for everyone to use fruits as a part of our everyday lives, as in the main dinner plate. Watermelon being watery, is a fruit, I believe all Chefs (do Chefs really cook? maybe I rephrase it to all 'Cooks'!) are scarred of because of its watery properties and almost negligible flavour. However, the truth is that when watermelon is paired with spices and herbs, it enhances the natural tastes of the melon. So, having said that I was on the look for a watermelon salad pairing, when I came across this amazing salad. The outside temperatures already soaring to the mid 80's, nobody really craves for hot curries and Nan for meals. Crunchy and soothing salads are the ...

The Begining

It all begins today April 06th 2011, after putting down my little toddler for a late afternoon nap, that I have posted my first ad on an online website. Its all about offering food and satisfying the individual palate. I believe its high time I get into the market and put myself down for a foody test. Currently I am doing it from my very own homely kitchen and offering everyday individual and family meals to all those tired of eating out of their own cook houses. I call out to those lazy, busy and tired moms to order meals from my food gallery. I invite all those bachelors who are bored of eating Maggis, pastas and ready to eat meals out of steamed boxes. By the way, eating fancy restaurant food will only reduce your lifespan and you dnt know how long those gravies have been sitting in the freezer, I know it! Call me atleast 24 hrs in advance for a meal, no matter lunch or dinner and I will be happy to get the homely food boxes ready for ...

A Breakfast Delight : Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Image
I hate to throw away super ripe bananas, and I equally hate to eat them. So have to use it in baking. This is not my invented recipe. It is from Laura Vitale (I like to watch her videos). Here is her recipe.  http://www.laurainthekitchen.com/all/episode.php?episodenumber=131 However, I had to make certain changes as per the ingredients on hand which I do to almost any recipe I pick from the internet or a cook book. I am not among those who would take a list and go grocery shopping to make one particular recipe. So here's what I used from the pantry. 1 1/2 very ripe bananas 1 egg 1/3 cup oil 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 11/4 cup flour (I used all purpose) 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I had morsels) 1/4 cup shredded dry coconut (optional) 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt Preheat 400 deg oven. Mix wet ingredients first. For the chocolate chips, mix them with 3 tsps of flour and keep aside. Sift the dry ingredients excluding the coc...
