Homemade Pineapple Wine

It was on my way back from my Business Trip to my homeland I realized that Christmas is almost reaching in a month and what about the wine for my Christmas spread. The grape wine I prepared 2 years back was almost over. So it is time to replenish my wine reserve.

This time I wanted a different flavor, as grape wine has become so common and boring. So my mind started roaming around to figure out the best wine I could even make. Finally I have seen pineapples smiling at me in my mind and right away, I took my phone to make the request to my hubby darling to get me 5 pineapples, a new bucket and other accessories. This time I put it in a high quality plastic bucket, as the earthen pot way was a bit messy.

I was a little skeptical the entire process, also because I am gonna leave her alone in 2 days here and would be back during Christmas only, when I will get to see how she turned out. But I didn't let my hope go, and went on with that idea.

My achan got another responsibility now, to check her everyday and whisk once in a day. And I used to ask about her when I make a call to my parents :D

And the day has reached finally after a long wait, on 24th morning when I landed, she was the only one in my mind. I ran to the store room where she was kept and opened it and saw the frothy liquid and the liquor smell. Ohh! what a wonderful feeling.

Then started the filtering process which could not have been completed without my hubby's help. As it's so tiring process and I lost my energy midway. But as always, all that efforts paid off well and the first glass to the person behind the hard work. It was truly tasty and I loved it to the core. My new version of yellow wine is ready !

Pineapple, chopped - 5 to 6 numbers

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.

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...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...
