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…

MANGO-PEACH LOW FAT ICE-CREAM…eggless
“Ice cream is the original soul food.” Lexie Saige With summer here, can ice-cream & popsicles be far behind? Finally mangoes have reached their peak in availability & taste. There can be nothing better than enjoying their superb flavour…it’s amazing how flooded the market is, but just until July, because this is the time when the fruit begins to ripen. It’s also the saving grace for the high temperatures we suffer here during this time…43-44C wouldn’t have been possible without this delectable fruit!Bought more than a few kilos of mangoes than I needed too a while ago … because the batch looked so good. With peaches keeping them good company,…

APRICOT CHERRY MINI CRISPS…there’s joy in blogging!
“You’ve got to go out on a limb sometimes because that’s where the fruit is.” Will Rogers Summer’s here in full swing, & we’re slowly seeing the market getting flooded with ‘stone fruits’. It began with mangoes, then cherries, & now it’s apricots. Peaches are beginning to surface as well, but haven’t reached the ‘fully ripe’ & ‘lusciously juicy’ stage yet. This is what I love about summer in North India … all the fruit from the fruit basket in the Himalayas that reach the plains in much abundance. Very yummy situation indeed … It’s one of those rare days that I bake, & then try & blog about it…

WORLD OATMEAL COOKIES … with Dried Cranberries, Crystallised Ginger, Walnuts & Raisins
“I’ll feed them milk and cookies.”Brent Sutter I love a good oatmeal cookie. Had a bag of dates & thought I’d do a date & walnut something. Surfed the net for ages looking for something ‘cookie’ to make with dates & walnuts. Obviously & predictably, got hopelessly distracted, & ended up making these tasty morsels … without using dates of course! Not really sure if I would like dates in my cookies, I played around with ingredients in an old oatmeal cookie recipe I had. Ended up with these delish cookies, using some crystallised ginger & dried cranberries I had on hand. What I like about this recipe is that…
