I had read somewhere a long time ago that if you don’t have the time (and the energy) to make an apple pie, an apple crisp can be the next best thing. I didn’t think much of this since apple pie is what my kids demand every apple season as soon as we go apple […]

This is going to be a short post. Nothing much to blah blah about. except Happy Independence Day! Wanted to make something special for the weekend. I had made a very berry 4th of July special tart a couple years ago. Wanted to do something similar but then the weekend turned out too busy – […]
Home Made Chocolate Fudge sauce / 10 minute fudge sauce [Paleo, AIP]
Love this ‘end of the year’ holiday season! Have days off from work, kids are off from school …and so the normal routine is out the window! Our close friends are visiting us and so both the kids and the adults are having a super time. For the past week our daily schedule has been […]
Homemade Holiday gifts: Cookies, Bars and Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Too busy to write a post. So going to keep this really short. And sweet. LOL! Yes Cookies and Fudge for extra sweetness. This year having gotten a setback with my RA setting in , I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do homemade gifts. But here I am last minute mustering up […]
Date and Almond Truffles (Healthy 3 Ingredient Truffles)
What do you folks think of the expression ‘Healthy indulgence’? Does that even make sense? Is that even possible? Or is it an oxymoron? The dictionary defines indulgence as ‘yielding to an inclination or desire’… ‘To allow oneself to follow one’s will’. By that token, any kind of ‘desired’ activity could be your weakness and whenever […]
Baked Chocolate Pumpkin Donuts
It is Pumpkin galore! Last fall I had made ‘baked Pumpkin donuts’ that the kids had just loved (and devoured). So this year again my munchkins were demanding the same. Being a blogger mom, I needed to make it even better for them right? And so what did I do? I added chocolate to the batter […]
Chicken Alfredo Pasta
If you have left over roasted or cooked chicken pieces, this is a dish that can come together in less than 30 minutes. How wonderful, right? Recently I happened to watch an episode of The Pioneer Woman on Food Network and she was making a pasta Alfredo with chicken. Later that evening I was scratching […]
Apple Streusel Cake (Apple Coffee Cake)
It’s apple season once again! We didn’t go apple picking this year but since I have joined our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), we get loads of fresh fruits and veggies every week. Since the past two weeks, apples have been part of my weekly CSA bounty. Apple pie is my son’s favorite and he […]
Molten Chocolate Cake with Caramel sauce
When it comes to cakes and breads, I never post a recipe unless I have tried it at least twice successfully. And when it came to Molten Lava cake, I have never been fully satisfied with the results until now! Over the past 1 year I have tried 3 different recipes and finally this 4 […]
Summer Special: Strawberry and Chocolate Cream Cheese Ice cream Pops
Creamy ..Dreamy …Yummy…just fabulous! That about describes this ice cream made with cream cheese, fresh strawberries and oreo cookie crumbs! You can’t go wrong with these ingredients can you? You may recall that last summer I had made an ice cream with cream cheese and blueberries which had won the hearts of all my family […]
Cherry Clafoutis
Mom, can we make cherry Clafoutis? This was a question my 8 yr old asked me all summer last year but unfortunately this busy mom never got around to doing that with her. So so bad of me! She had saved a copy of the recipe that she had found in a ‘kid friendly recipe book’ […]
Vanilla Strawberry Cupcakes with a Strawberry Rhubarb compote
Vanilla Cupcakes with a strawberry surprise! How cute is that isn’t it? I don’t know how this idea came to my mind. But it did and I just had to try it! Especially now when it is strawberry season and when for the last two weeks my weekly share in the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) […]
