Ultimate Brownies

My love affair with brownies continues with this Hershey's Ultimate Brownies! I find that brownies are the easiest to bake and most loved by all so I tend to bake brownies whenever I visit someone. This time, I baked this brownie for my nieces and I should say this is one of the most delicious brownies I have had and everybody else felt the same way too and these brownies disappeared quickly!

Aloo matar is one of the favorite side dish for roti/paratha and also for rice. We make this often at home and this time, I decided to make this dish with baby potatoes. We are typical south indians so we enjoyed this with a plate of rice and murungakai kuzhambu!!

I get excited when I have to bake cakes and I love to try different recipes and different techniques! I have been wanting to try a kit kat - Gems cake for quite sometime and I also wanted to try a gravity defying cake.... so for my son's birthday party, I made this cake. Both my kids love gems and they were so excited when they saw this cake!
I made an eggless strawberry mousse cake and Hershey's perfectly perfect chocolate cake for the other parties that we had celebrating our son's 2nd birthday.
This cake is very easy to make and you can get creative and make any theme using this idea.

Thinnai Pongal | Foxtail Millet Pongal

Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Millet Recipes, Pongal Recipes 20 comments

Thinnai has become my husband's favorite, actually all millets are his favorite and he wants us to include millets in our daily or atleast weekly meals. I tried this pongal with foxtail millet and I should say all my skepticism vanished! This pongal tasted absolutely delicious and it tastes just like the normal ven pongal or the oats pongal that we are so used to! This makes a delicious and healthy breakfast dish.
We add a bit more moong dal in our pongal recipes and that makes the pongal really yum. Also I add pepper powder instead of whole peppers since no one eats whole peppers!
Do try this out and switch to a more healthy lifestyle.

Hershey's Chocolate Cake

Cakes, Celebration cakes, Chocolate cake, Kids Special 22 comments

What better way to ring in the New Year than a perfect chocolate cake! This is one of the best chocolate cakes out there, it's Hershey's Perfectly Perfect Chocolate Cake! I baked this cake for my son's birthday party, we had a total of 3 small parties and for the first party, I made an eggless strawberry mousse cake and for the second party, I baked this cake.

This cake is so moist and so delicious and so rich! The kids who came for the party and the families who had this cake, enjoyed it very much. This cake is very similar to another chocolate cake in my blog, that's the Best Ever Chocolate Cake recipe except, that recipe uses buttermilk and coffee and this recipe uses only milk and no coffee.
