Chocolate Ice-cream - Hide and Seek flavor

This is the best ever chocolate ice cream I made till now. And of course I got a very good response from both my boys, especially my big boy. This was the comment made by him, that too to my parents. "I have never tasted such an awesome ice cream in my life" and to me, "ice cream kidilam aayitund", meaning, ice cream is superb. The colloquial word "kidilam" is a mallus feeling, to express something is superb. And this word has the power to touch the right neurons :)

So this ice cream was part of my 2018 new year late night baking cooking, where I planned all chocolatey stuffs, brownies and the extravaganza of chocolate chips, hide n seek choco chips, and lot of home made dark chocolate syrup.

My little boy was giving me company when my hubby was out with his friends for new year party, saying, "amma, I don't feel like sleeping today. Today is new year and whole night we can bake and make stuffs in kitchen". But that excitement of helping me in kitchen, soon vanished once he saw his achan back ;) anyway we did finish the brownies and ice cream and soon slipped into a nice sleep because of all that hard work :)

So over to the recipe now, where you can see it was not planned to be like this, but just each step adding as ad-hoc then and there.

Seeing this, Gauthappan screamed. oh no, Achan took the major portion of it :D

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home. My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...

When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done.
