I made these a few years ago, not from scratch but the ones that come in box. They were good but since a very young age I have wanted to bake taking those extra miles! Now, I certainly make my brownies/cakes/cobblers, for that matter, almost everything from scratch, which I love! And note: every recipe from scratch doesn’t come as expected. The recipes I post are the ones, I am thoroughly satisfied

Its Project Breakfast every night-what to make next morning! I am sure many would be sailing in the same boat with me.. I am trying to figure out breakfast ideas made within few minutes or most preparation made the night before and be more of an assembling or hardly cooking just before the breakfast time. Unfortunately Idli, dosai, upma or pongal types are not in breakfast menu at our place. We prefer them for dinner.

For that extra spice and kick i added Cajun spice and now I never have an excuse to not cook sweet potatoes again. Simple and a great side dish.

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t liked it..... Palak Paneer

Special Thanks to Krishnan, one of our great friend, who introduced us to this dish and gave us the recipe.
Olan is an essential dish in the traditional Kerala Onam Sadya. We love Olan with theeyal and rice. As olan by itself is mild, it goes well with something spicy/tangy.
Authentically Olan is made with white pumpkin and black eyed peas or cow peas, but using yellow squash is a variation.... Cheesecake (NY Style)
Cheesecake! I bet You’ll not think of getting one from store after you bake one on your own. I made a few changes from the original recipe that I scribbled in a sticky note and stuck to my recipe book. I wish I remember from where I got this recipe, may be a TV show or from a magazine.
