Nutella Ice Cream

Chocolate Desserts, Desserts, Ice Cream, Kids Special, Make-Ahead Desserts, Summer Special 4 comments

Another tasty and easy ice cream is this nutella ice cream. I made this many months ago for my daughter's school friend. It was farewell time and I wanted to make her a box of ice cream since she loves to eat my ice creams! This is a simple and delicious ice cream. You can add as much or as little nutella as you wish.

I have lots of ice cream recipes here, the base is the same for all the ice creams but I keep changing the add ons/fill ins to make it interesting. You can try your own flavor too.

Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich

This is an easy and healthy breakfast option for kids. You can replace the peanut butter with nutella if your kids are not so fond of peanut butter. I prefer peanut butter and I make this often for myself, even if not for my kids.

Brownie Tart

Brownies, chocolate, Chocolate Desserts, Kids Special 5 comments

This brownie tart is an extremely rich fudgy dessert. This is the second time I am baking this tart and both times it was completely irresistible. Both times I baked this for my in laws and they absolutely enjoyed it!
I don't have a tart pan so I used my springform pan and it worked just fine.

Single Serve Chocolate Chip Muffin

Cupcakes & Muffins, Instant Microwave Recipes 3 comments

These single serve muffins works best for sudden cravings, especially with my kids. My kids (who are 5 and 3 years old) have not yet taken a liking to cakes, cupcakes or ice creams so somedays they suddenly ask for cupcakes and when I'm done baking a batch, they eat just one or half, frustrating me to no end! These kind of recipes work best for them!
The best part about this recipe is that, you can choose to bake this in the oven or you can make it in the microwave.

If you do want to bake a full batch of tasty chocolate chip muffins, then check out this recipe.

Apple Slice

As soon as I read the story behind this recipe, I wanted to try out this cake and I'm glad I did. This is a cake that we enjoyed thoroughly! The recipe is also so easy to put together with very few ingredients.

I came across this recipe at Life of Clare. Clare's grandmother sent this recipe to the papers 25 years ago and a reader who has been making this particular cake for 25 years wanted to thank Clare's grandma for this awesome recipe. The recipe was re published 25 years later in The Herald Sun.

A recipe that people were raving about and baking more than 100's of times , for over 25 years....!! I simply had to try it out! And I was not disappointed! I loved the simplicity of this cake, so few ingredients and such a delightful cake! Grandma's do have beautiful recipes!!

Mushroom Drumstick Curry

We have a drumstick tree in our garden and we get lots and lots of drumsticks from it, that my mum shares it with all our neighbors all the time. One time, one of our neighbors, a grandmother, gave me this recipe of mushrooms and drumsticks. I love mushrooms so I was immediately interested and willing to try it out. This turned out great and my husband and me simply loved it! This grandmother tells me she also makes drumstick with mutton....waiting to try that out some other day!

Kollu Podi | Horse gram Powder

Idli Podi Recipe, Podi | Masalas, Side Dish for Idli and Dosa 5 comments

Horse gram or Kollu is a super food which has lots of health benefits. I came to know about the value of kollu when we took our daughter to a doctor for a problem that she had and he told us to include kollu in her diet atleast 2 days a week and hence I started my research on horse gram and came to of all it's health benefits.

Kollu is extremly rich in iron, protein and calcium. It also aids in digestion, weight loss, reduces cholesterol, is a diuretic, rich in anti oxidants and so many more benefits.

I have been looking for ways to include this in our weekly diet and make it tasty as well so this is the first recipe I tried. This kollu podi is an adaptation of my idli podi recipe and it came out very well. I also added lots of curry leaves to make it more rich in iron.

This podi can be had with idli/dosa or even rice.

Chocolate Banana Cake

banana, Cakes, Chocolate cake 5 comments

I do a lot of baking with bananas since that is the most common fruit at home and if it's about to go waste, I bake something with it. This is one such bake. Bananas and chocolate goes very well together and if you add some cinnamon and walnut to the mix, it just becomes too delicious!

There are plenty of banana bakes in my blog as this is a favorite at home and it always comes out so well. This recipe is from joy of baking and as usual it's a winner! The cake turned out so moist, dense and fudgy, almost like a brownie!

Mint Chocolate Ice Cream

Desserts, Ice Cream, Kids Special, Make-Ahead Desserts, Mint, Summer Special 3 comments

I never used to try recipes with mint essence since I never got it where I lived. And then I made this mint chocolate milkshake using mint toffees and I thought of trying this ice cream also with the same and it worked out very well!
I love the flavor of mint and chocolate together so I was looking forward to tasting it. This ice cream, as all other ice creams, tasted absolutely yum!

This is another recipe that I made for the potluck with my friends. This potluck happened close to a year ago and I'm still not done posting those recipes!! I've really been slacking off!

Anyway, I love panna cotta and I'm always looking for excuses to make these. I've made a lot of panna cotta and this time I wanted to make the classic chocolate panna cotta!

These brownie muffins are so rich and dense and delicious. I made a batch of these muffins for a potluck with friends and I served it with tutti frutti ice cream and we loved the combination!
