Healthy Weekends 2

Thought to rename my weekend stories to Healthy weekends, as basically the stories over here are food and health only.
I had a very late Friday night, it's Friday night and it has to be like that :P Spoiling yourself in some  weakness of your's. I slept in between something and really don't remember when was it.

Saturday started with a door bell ring, and I was thinking, who in this world at this early morning is ringing my door bell. Thought its my maid, cursing in mind, why she has to come so early, where she used to come at noon usually. And had a glance of the time and screamed, "Wow! its 10 30" and I am still sleepy creepy!

So I opened the door to see the BigBasket boy waiting with my order in my door steps, saying,
"Madam! your bigbasket order". I was still sleepy and ran inside to take the keys. I don't know what that guy would have thought, seeing a women this sleepy at 10 30 in morning. Ahh! anyways he gave the best morning gift, my face lighted up seeing all the fresh goodies he brought. Being a foodie, to see the fresh vegetables and fruits is something so contenting.
 So I got all my beauties, and the weekend health motto of cooking healthy, especially eating healthy was on. I had planned to make a tofu salad, spinach soup to keep my hemoglobin levels and a fruit salad of course, a day cannot complete without a bowl of fruits.

All these were planned, but something got added up my cooking agenda, and that is to make fruit preserves. And you know the reason being, I ordered kilos of different fruits for weekend, but this bad weather has ditched me and gave me a very bad cold, and I had to sacrifice my fruit cravings this weekend.
But all these cannot be thrown away, or I don't prefer to. What can I do to save the act of throwing away?
Yep! fruits can be preserved. So lately I found this option to save any fruits, which is an easiest way, and you will definitely thank yourself in future, where you have the preserves readily available in your fridge, and you have to make something out in a fruity flavor, be it yogurt, ice cream, or even goes with any batter like pancakes, cakes, muffins etc.

As always, all the healthy stuffs I cook are my experiments, even if I make other authentic dishes, the healthy recipes doesn't have any location of origin, well I can keep it as Swathy's mind :D

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made.  It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds. I dont think anyone can go wrong with this recipe.  So diving into the recipe, without more story telling.  Ingredients: All purpose flour/Whole wheat flour - 1 cup Oats flakes - rolled oats - 1/4 cup Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup Butter-1/4 cup Sugar brown - 1/2 cup packed Salt -1/4 tsp Baking powder- 1 tsp Egg - 1  Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Milk - 1 to 2 tbsp or to make a cookie dough  Method: Whisk together dry ingredients and keep aside  Whip butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla essence and mix.

Introducing me, as a food blogger!

Hello ... I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself as a food blogger. I am not new to this place; most of my friends know me as a random blogger and I am pretty much active here. This time, I am starting on a blog focussed on food. I am a passionate cook who loves to experiment a lot in food, and I appreciate and embrace almost all cuisines world wide. I am already representing a food site with my tested recipes in Facebook, but because there is no option to search for my recipes, I am sharing it here. I want all my readers to have easy access and my recipes handy 😊 As you can see, I am passionate about many things other than cooking, but cooking is something which always gives me pleasure. Cooking is my stress reliever, as one of my friend used to advice me, "Go bake a cake, you will be Alright"! I am not yet sure to call myself as a food blogger, as I think there are ton of things yet to be learned and experienced as a cook and each day is a new learning...

Pidiyum Tharavu Mappasum - Rice dumplings and Duck curry in coconut milk

My Christmas 2017 was based on traditional dishes of Kerala. You would be very familiar with the name Pidiyum Kozhiyum, which is of course one of the favorites at my home. This time I thought, let me make some difference in usual culture and thought to accompany Pidi with Tharavu mappas, which is Duck curry in coconut milk. Duck is my favorite too, and Duck items would be in my Christmas spread always. I started the day with Duck stew, which is another authentic dish of Kerala. Of course again, coconut milk, coz as Mallus we just go on lavish with Coconut milk :D This recipe is common in Christian families and a breakfast item. I being a Hindu has explored these things after my marriage, where I had a big kitchen for experimenting my things. Indeed to say, that was my experimentation lab which has gained me confidence to cook and take my passion along the way, and of course my audience has changed now, their count is more and the youngsters are ready to try out all new researches. ...
