Blueberry Cobbler

Cobblers are one among the best desserts in the world. The warm crumbly crusted top and a gooey, syrupy fruit layer inside. It is perfect for any season. Also the guilt factor is way less, as the natural fruit layer occupies the 80 percent of the cobbler mug. Cobblers can be made in a cake tin or as individual shots.

This I made in one of my visits to Trivandrum, where I bought some frozen blueberries from Big basket and took with me. I know my lil boy's love for all these berries and English desserts. His food preference and tastes are just like me. I always wonder, oh so me in this small man :)

My husband sometimes tells me, that he is Carbon copy of mine in looks, but his gestures are all upto you. The way he wraps inside his blanket is just like me, all covered, people won't know someone is inside. The way he loves all this exquisite stuffs, just my tastes, his love for dark chocolate, the chef in me took second birth with him. I have seen his passion in cooking from the time as a toddler crawling up all the way to take a seat on the Kitchen counter top. There are many of such things. last day my husband was explaining the way he eats chicken with bone. Not even a dash of flesh around, another just like me :D

So this is prepared to make my return from school boy happy. See he diving into the bowl, barely anything left there :P

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...

Soya halwa

Soya halwa or Soyabean halwa, the name itself sounds so healthy and of course whoever would like to have a healthy version of halwa can give a try to this great dessert. I came across this guy very accidently, and if you guys remember my earlier post on Soya milk, this is where the secret talked about in that post getting uncovered. So anyone have any hunch? Ok let me reveal the truth. It was when I was about to throw away the remains of soya milk preparation, I noticed that what I am going to throw away isn't a waste, but having as much as nutrients in soya bean. What if I can preserve it for something, or is there any way I can make a recipe out of it. If you see recently I am doing lots of research on North Indian halwas. So when I say North Indian , it is very much different from Kerala style. What I feel is North Indian halwas are easy to make and doesn't have to be so much conscious about the 2 thread consistency and all, which we have to be very much careful in...
