Watermelon Mint Juice Recipe

Watermelon signals the arrival of summer and juices are galore in our house. This is the best thirst quencher! Whenever I have some watermelon in this scorching weather I always say a thank you to God that  watermelons are available during the peak summer months.  I would not want to have this fruit at any other time than the 3 peak summer months. How well God thinks, plans and orchestrates amazes me beyond words!

Vazhakkai Chips Recipe / Raw Banana Chips Recipe

As a child I remember eating these chips and yam chips and potato chips made by my mom, I remember taking them to school in my lunch box and even to college and I always remember these chips will always disappear first from my box, everybody loved it! Even at home when my mum made it, my brother and me, would never wait to have it with rice, it always got over instantly.

These chips are so crispy just like the store bought ones. These can be had as tea time snacks. Kids would simply love munching on this. I had my mum do the scraping while I took pictures. There's no way, I could scrape and click pictures and she was not comfortable clicking pictures.

This was a huge hit with my kids. It was a treat to even see my one year old nibbling on these chips. I tell you, no one can eat just one!!!

Eggless Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe (egg free and dairy free)

I normally bake with eggs and recently I have been forced to bake eggless for others and loving it! I recently posted another eggless chocolate cake which was a huge hit. This time, I had to bake an eggless cake for my driver's daughter's birthday and I chose another recipe, this was a huge hit too! Just look at it!! It makes me want to dig in to it, all over again!

This is such a soft and moist cake and it literally melts in the mouth! I frosted the cake with ganache and whipped cream and every bite was absolutely heavenly. The guests who ate the cake, were absolutely delighted!

This is a very simple cake to make. The other eggless chocolate cake that I posted uses yogurt, but this one does not use yogurt. It's an egg free and dairy free cake! I love such cakes!! I adapted this recipe from here
