Caramelized Apple Pancakes
January 17, 2013 by
When it comes to Breakfast pancakes, most of us resort to a packaged mix, or one of our staples like Blueberry Pancakes or Banana Pancakes, for a quick turnaround.

Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches
October 11, 2012 by
Ice Cream Sandwich is a very popular dessert, and one of my personal favorites, because it actually combined two desserts in one! What more could a dessert-lover ask for?! Though a large part of the world's population would think of Android's ICS as soon as they hear the name IceCream Sandwich, I am not going to talk about that geeky stuff on my Food BLog.

Kerala-Style Cabbage Thoran
July 27, 2012 by
Cabbage Thoran, a Kerala-style recipe that resembles a stir-fry Indian cuisine is so versatile and diverse, and yet food that comes from every part of the country bears its own mark, in terms of ingredients, flavors, cooking methods, and recipes. A dish that represents the state of Gujarat will be totally different from that which stands for Punjab, which in turn is in stark contrast to a recipe … [Read more...]
Blueberry Banana Avocado Bread

In fact, most people, including me, have a tried-and-tested banana bread recipe that they turn to in times of need! However, this time around, I tried to juggle things a bit, and baked a Blueberry Banana Bread instead. I had bookmarked a muffin recipe some time ago that … [Read more...]

Summer and Mangoes go hand-in-hand, and if I were in India, I would have seriously gained a few sounds in Summer, just because of eating Mangoes every single day!
