Baking| Chocolate Cherry Muffins … healthy muffins we l♥ve!
“Life is just a bowl of cherries.” Proverb There’s so much to do as always, & so little time. With the kids still at home on vacation, the day gallops by so fast. Still, I can’t figure out why it’s taken me so long to post these muffins. They’re on my file for quick reference, one of the quickest & best chocolate fixes I have on record. Found them on this blog – Cooking During Stolen Moments as I browsed the net for recipes for ‘muffins using dried cherries’. I amended the recipe a teeny bit to make them a twitch healthier, with some whole wheat flour substitution. What do…

Indian Style Chicken Wings the Monica Bhide way!
The recipe is a brilliant twist to the great American classic, and uses a cream marinade instead of a yogurt-based marinade which is conventionally used in Indian cooking. Indian Chicken Wings is a keeper of a recipe, so well worth stocking up spice jars for.”

Baking | The original butter chicken … make yours at home
” If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.” Romain Rolland Today is India’s 61st Independence Day… & I decided to post something Indian today. In fact, India’s most popular gastronomic export to the Western world, which is Butter Chicken or Murgh Makhani. Quoting from a snippet in a tabloid debating butter chicken vs chicken tikka masala…”Many years ago, a man named Robin Cook, not the novelist, but the late Labour Party leader & Britain’s Foreign Secretary, had stirred an international gastronomic…

COFFEE and ROASTED ALMOND BISCOTTI…a handsome combination!
“I am not a glutton, I am an explorer of food” Erma Bombeck Coffee & Roasted Almonds…a handsome combination I have my biscotti moments…at times, I will suddenly alight & set off to make a biscotti with a ‘flavour of the moment‘ off the top of my head. This particular moments’ flavour turned out to be coffee & roasted almonds. A delicious, crisp biscotti! I made these some time ago, & am tempted to set off & bake some now…only problem being that I’ve cut a nerve in the palm of my right hand & am incapacitated as far as baking/cooking goes. Which leaves me with very little to do;…

Baking | SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD…Think Spice Cinnamon!
“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Harriet van Horne SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD This is a sweet & spicy shortbread, not the traditional sort, because I made it with brown sugar that gave it a very different texture. In addition, I went further and sprinkled the tops with a mix of brown sugar & cinnamon before baking, which enhanced the flavour of cinnamon! Flowers on stars!! I love the ‘Think Spice’ monthly event at Sunita’s World. It does make you put on your thinking cap, and actually think the spice…at least with me it does! Can you imagine…I been thinking ‘Cinnamon’, her…

Devil’s Food Mini Muffins
This is a nice and easy recipe I browsed off the net ages ago. It’s a staple item on our kids birthday party menu, and I attempt to colour code it with the colours of the cake. The good thing is that these make good finger food, and allow for less wastage as compared to cupcakes, as is often the case with excitable kids that grab more than they can eat!! ( Sorry…am still trying to locate the picture.) Makes approx 4 dozen mini-muffins Preheat the oven to 180deg C. Line 2 mini-muffin tins with liners. Alternatively, grease them well…but lining is always an easier, cleaner and no-fuss method. Flour…
