Apple 🍎 cranberry cinnamon overnight oats

This is for all my health freak ladies out there. Don't think I m gender biased, but I usually feel like ladies would prefer such dishes than Men, as Men have their own way of keeping themselves healthy. We ladies are a little complicated, and we like complications in everything we do.



We love to plan our healthy meals, cook ourselves, coz again good things never comes simply. Just like us ladies who are such wonderful things in this world and brought to this world with lot of complications for the poor simple Man to deal with :P

Other part to why ladies like cooking themselves and eating is because of her trust issues ...lol. I bet an average woman brain would do at least 100 reasoning before she picks up what she wants, but a man again he trusts soon :D


Jokes apart cooking food ourselves and having is such a satisfaction which you won't ever get in any store brought stuffs. It is the way to responsible cooking and eating too.


But this new world is really fast, where we try to wrap up each day going through lot of bonkers from morning to night, and there isn't time to pamper ourselves or try out something sophisticated. So all my smoothies, overnight oats, chia puddings are the quick fix ways that can be used by working women like me. Yes, 5 minutes is what we need to putting it all together, and you know the happiness when we open this in office for breakfast? These little things brings a big wholehearted smile in me...

I think these recipes will make your life also easier, healthier, contented and of course that big smile on your faces. After all, bringing smile to someone's life is such a good thing to do, and as a food blogger I can accomplish that mission through my recipes only. That's my way of making people smile; cooking, sharing recipes and feeding the food I cooked, just to see that smile on my face, my readers face and yup my loved ones too :)


Ingredients:

Oats - 30 gm
Flavored Almond milk - 1/4 cup
Curd or Yogurt - 1 tbsp
Banana 🍌 few pieces
Dried cranberries
Half an apple 🍎
Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp
Soaked peeled almonds - 4 nos

I used rolled oats and Epigamia Artisanal curd is one among my new curd/yogurt obsessions.

Method:

In a bowl mash the bananas. Then add oats and milk and give it a stir. Add curd/yogurt and cinnamon powder, dried cranberries and mix well.

I used a mason jar for refrigerating the mix overnight. Pour the mixture to mason jar, close the lid and let it be in refrigerator over night.

Morning just add the apples, almonds and cranberries just before you pack them, or carry the toppings separately and add when you have it.


See how the lovely rolled oats soaked up all that liquid overnight :)

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...

Ayala Pollichathu - Mackerel roast in plantain leaves

This is yet another traditional Kerala recipe, in which fish is roasted in plantain leaves. There is a two step process in cooking fish, first by shallow frying and then roasted inside a plantain leaf covered with masalas. So my experience with pollichathu was with Karimeen alone until this time, my favorite fish, which is called Pearl spot in English. All these while I haven't tried any other fish for this recipe. So let me tell you the story of how Ayala came into picture :D This happened on one fine day, my mom in law was telling me that the women who brings fish has brought lots of Mackerel and many other fishes and convinced her to buy a lot of them. So she was in a confusion on what will we do with all these, as weekend was almost going to finish and everyone of us moving to different places. And the same curry or fry would be boring and won't be appreciated by the men's league at home :D Then I went for helping her with the fish dilemma, she was having and...

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...
