Peach Crepes - French crepes

I am always in love with English food especially breakfast, which comes in different shapes and layers, stuffed with cream filling and finally topped up with some fresh fruits and fruit syrups. The Crepes, pancakes, French toasts, waffles... This cake is another loved one at home, mostly by my little boy and hubby, as it have soft layers of crepes, accompanied by cream sandwiched between them. Definitely, the best treatment for their sweet tooth 😉
The first crepe was made, last Christmas season, going through the steps so consciously as I didn't want to make any mistake to spoil the recipe. I was a little skeptical on how the thin layers would turn out and was in so much tension whenever I was flipping them. My luck was backing me and of course Tatyana's yotube channel was of help too, which finally led to a 20 layer chocolate filling crepe cake, and she was a beauty. Ok, Now I know, Crepe is my game too 😊
This time I wanted a fruity flavor for my crepe cake, just like the English food. So I used one among my favorite fruits, peach for this crepe. Setting aside the fact that I love every food, and in fruits there is no fruit I hate. Peach is very rare in India, especially fresh peaches. Finally I found canned peaches in big basket and that is the best option I could find, when I crave for peaches, and I have a recipe in mind which calls for it.
A note about big basket, I am a very satisfied customer of them, because of their freshness locked fruits and vegetables and also a wide assortment of imported groceries. For me they are the final go to place for finding the rare stuffs. I would say they should extend their shipping destinations to Kerala too 😄

So after a lot of lecture, here it goes the recipe 😊

All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp

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...
