Fruit Cake Fudge Bar

This is an excellent fudge bar, full of the fruit cake, it tastes like cadbury fruit and nut bar - only better! These bars are made with left over fruit cakes. This time I set aside some of my fruit cake to make this fudge bar and some christmas truffles.
This tastes absolutely delicious! So fudgy and chocolaty! I absolutely loved it. 
You can make this bar with any of these Christmas Fruit Cakes.

Pineapple Juice

We had some pineapple in our home, which no one wanted to eat and the only other option I had was to make some juice out of it. And I should say, everybody loved the juice! 
For the pineapple juice, you can either strain it or have it without straining. My husband and daughter likes the strained juice and I prefer having the juice without staining it.
The last image is the strained juice, whereas the first two images are the un-strained juice.

Eggless No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

We love cheesecakes in our house, I made this strawberry version to take it to my in laws house and we all enjoyed this flavor. Tastes awesome! Of course, I have used cottage cheese to make this cheesecake, like all my other cheesecakes but you can make it with the traditional cream cheese too.

Eggless Christmas Fruit Cake | Eggless Plum Cake

I have posted a Christmas Fruit Cake with eggs and that is the recipe we love the most but when we have to distribute cake for others, I need an egg free version since some of our neighbors don't eat eggs. And for that this recipe works beautifully! I have also posted a Dundee Fruit Cake which is so rich in fruits and nuts, that it's totally delicious!

I had completely forgotten about this post! I made these lovely mango brownies during the mango season this past summer and forgot to post it. It's been hiding in one of my old folders and I'm glad I found it now since this is one yum brownie!

Kadai Mushroom

Mushroom has been a favorite of mine ever since I tasted it first in my mother in law's house. And knowing the health benefits of mushrooms, we make it often. I used button mushrooms for this recipe, which are easily available here.
Ever since I made the Kadai Paneer, I have been wanting to make Kadai Mushroom as well and this turned out to be too good! This recipe can be made as dry, semi dry or a gravy. I made it semi dry.

Mushroom Pulao

Mushrooms are one of my most favorites! And the best part is, my husband also loves mushrooms, unlike paneer. He hates paneer so I can't make a lot of paneer dishes but since we both love mushrooms, I make plenty of mushroom dishes. Our most favorite mushroom recipe, is mushroom biryani. I make this biryani very often and we enjoy it a lot. This time around I decided to try mushroom pulao and this was another hit! 

Pulao is always very delicious and a favorite among kids too but you need to have a nice, spicy side dish to make it even more delicious.

Pots de Creme

Pots de creme are delicious and rich desserts that you can make ahead for your guests. They are made with cream, milk and chocolate and it's somewhat like mousse. There are no cook versions of pots de creme too but I am not comfortable eating raw eggs so prefer this cooked version.

I like these make-ahead desserts since it leaves you free to cook and bake other things for a party or get together. Especially great for stress pots like me, who wants everything to be just perfect!!

Beet Root Pulao

I have been looking high and low for new and different versions of lunch box recipes. I need to pack lunch for my daughter and she is extremely finicky with food. I already make beetroot rice for her so I figured this beetroot pulao will work and so it did! 

Peas Pulao is another favorite lunch box recipe in our house and I'm glad this dish was welcomed too! This is very easy to make, one pot meal and perfect for lunch boxes.
