Strawberry Juice Recipe

Strawberry juice tastes delicious! It is so refreshing and so 'fruity'! I love sipping strawberry juice. If you have never had it before, you must make some soon! This time the berries I got were so red, I have never seen such deep dark red strawberries before! I cut those berries and kept starring at the color for so long! I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture, you would have loved those pictures and it would have made my page more pretty! Anyways, here's the recipe...

It's so soft and moist and the flavor, aroma and texture of the loaf is amazing! You can do so much more with this recipe, change and adapt it to your preference. I have given some ideas is the notes section. 
The key to bake an awesome banana cake/loaf is in selecting the banana.

Vegetable Aval Upma / Vegetable Poha Upma

Aval or flattened rice is a great breakfast option or it can be had as a snack too. The beauty of this dish is that, it can be prepared in very less time and it is very flavorful and tasty! I love any aval dish as it gives an opportunity to break away from the mundane idli and dosa!
I have already posted a simple aval upma recipe, this one has more vegetables and is more flavorful. Also check out the red aval upma recipe.

Pepper Chicken Masala

This is one of the tastiest chicken recipes that I have had! The spices that go into preparing this dish, makes it so delicious! Pepper chicken is a favorite in our house and we make this often especially when someone has a cold! The pepper makes this an extremely spicy and flavorful dish! We had this with a simple rasam and yet it was one of the most satisfying meals that I've ever had! Do try it out, you won't regret it.

Homemade Granola Bars

These are my most favorite bars, I've made a lot of bars but these are my 'go to' bars! Whenever I go on a diet trying to loose weight, these bars are my companion. They make a perfect snack. These bars are totally healthy and every week I make a batch and store it until my diet plan is over!

Eggless Mango Muffins

Since my daughter started school, I'm upto my nose with things to do! My responsibilities seems to have doubled and baking and blogging has taken a backseat! Amidst all this, my maid quietly told my mum that her 3rd daughter's birthday is coming up. I normally bake cakes for her children's birthdays and I did not want to disappoint the little girl but since I did not have time to bake a cake, I made these mango muffins.


Eggless Mango Muffins


This is such a simple recipe, so easy and quick to put together. I finished this in 35 mins after bringing my daughter home from school. It tastes absolutely delish, so soft and moist! My maid said her daughter's have never had cupcakes/muffins before and they thoroughly enjoyed this muffin!
