Well, finally I am back! Again! As much as I love to keep up with blogging, there are certain issues in life that take
precedence over other things. So, here I
am , with a quick and easy dish. I just
like to call this Pho but you can call it soup! There is no recipe as I only
threw in what I had available in pantry and fridge. You can add the protein if your choice, be it
beef, chicken, shrimp, chick peas and make this your own. I prepared the bowl for pictures and then
dumped the contents in a plastic container as this was my lunch! Took chicken
broth in a separate bottle and at lunchtime, heated up the broth, poured over
the contents of the lunch box and added some seasonings. And I had hot,
satisfying, no guilt lunch!<o:p></o:p></div>

Been to Panera Bread? If you have, you know exactly what I am talking about! Their broccoli cheddar soup is to die for. I love, love, love it. It’s creamy, it’s thick, it’s hearty. It’s just good for you soup. The only problem is, this is EXPENSIVE soup! I mean come on, how much does the broccoli cost?! Why do they have to charge so much for the soup? Just because it’s made fresh, doesn’t mean it should costs arms and legs, right? I tried and searched and finally found this recipe that tastes almost exactly as theirs! I said almost exactly because I tried to go for even lighter ingredients for the soup. I did try to use butter and cream, and trust me, it turned out exactly like that soup I always enjoy at Panera Bread. So give this creamy and delicious soup that tastes just like Panera Bread a try! You won’t be disappointed.<u></u><u></u></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt;">It's hard to strike a balance with muffins, isn't it? The massive monstrosities available at the coffee shops are obviously bad news, and even mini muffins are dangerous because there's a good chance you'll eat too many at once. Even if you find a reasonably sized muffin, it will leave you feeling hungry. How do you solve this conundrum? You don't need to know the muffin man, just have a box of cake mix in your pantry! Yes, you heard it right! BOXED CAKE MIX, People! These muffins are delicious, low in calories, and incredibly filling, thanks to addition of pumpkin puree. And don't chocolate chips make just about everything better? Make a batch of these muffins now, and you'll be smiling for days. And yes, eating chocolate first thing in the morning is generally a bad idea, but not with these muffins. So tasty, so satisfying, and perfect </span><em style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">any</span></em><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.25pt;"> time of day.

If you like buttery, crispy potateos with caramelized onions, this is the dish for you. My family and I are big potato lovers. and yes, I am a self-proclaimed QUEEN OF POTATOES! My sister can vouch for that. I love to make and eat potatoes different ways. So here's the story. This restaurant, right in the buidling where I work, serves this potatoes for breakfast. They have all-day breakfast specials and I always go for any kind of eggs with these potatoes. So I knew I ad to make it for my family at least once. And guess what? Once I made it, it didn't stop thiere. I keep on making this every now and then as the request keeps coming in! This is much better than having those uh-so-ugly hashbrowns!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's how I made it:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lyonnaise Potatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ingredients</span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8L-FlFBoUTmsYxEX3A9gc0fgXUkUNfv_l5hlZCsXSpItI4efBG85Xc-cQW2LwE0Bdz44rVsGDxEEhwt4Xmo_igC8bBZw8_H-j6vcgt8hJO39S6pPUH3Ald6UKSooJZcuzpEOGPpL8PiE/s1600/IMG_1742.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3-4 large Russet Potatoes,sliced(not too thin)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 medium onions, julienned</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">oil as needed</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">salt and pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Green onions and parsley to garnish</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">how to:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">To speed up the breakfast, I parboil the potatoes(microwaver the sliced potatoes for about 3 minutes, 1 minute per potato).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Keep it aside</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Heat oil in a thick bottomed skillet</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Caramelize onions on medium high heat. If you have a cast iron skillet, it works best for this.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Once onions are done, start browing potatoes in the same leftover oil.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Do not overcrowd the skileet. Take your time. It won't take too long. Just a few minutes for 3 potatoes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Season potatoes with salt and pepper as you go.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Keep working in batches.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Keep the golden brown potatoes aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Now, heat up a bit more oil, add garlic to it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Once garlic is soft, add back cooled patotes and onions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Mix up the vegetables, and garnish with green part of scallions and parsely.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Enjoy!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If you visit a classic French Bakery, you'll likely see these behind a shiny glass: "Croissants aux Amandes" (aka Almond Croissants). I happen to have one such bakery near my work. All the time I pass by it, I drool when I lay my eyes on those croissants. What a treat it would be to have this with some hot latte! These almond croissants were delicious and so easy to make. I finally got a chance to make it over the weekend and we didn’t want to have lunch! It was very filling. </span></span></div>

We, working moms know the dilemma of what to pack for lunch. Gone are the days when kids were happy and satiated with PB&J or cold cut sandwiches. They want something new, something exciting, something worth sharing with their friends at the lunch room table. My son is no longer in high school. still, I felt this urge when he was home for summer and working. Every single day of the week, he would call me after the lunch hour, telling me how his lunch was. Most of the times, I got an A+! This was one of those A+ lunches I made for him that he still remembers and requests to make it for him.</div>

Another crazy snack from me! I happened to have sweet red peppers that I need to use up before they go bad. And yes, it’s cold again out there so no grilling. Just roasting in the oven. So, slice and seed your sweet peppers. Mix softened cream cheese with garlic powder, salt and pepper. You could mix in some cheddar or top the peppers with it. Your choice. Stuff the peppers with cream cheese mixture and roast in 400° F hot oven for about 15 minutes or until the peppers are just soft. Top with either bacon or crushed tortilla chips and enjoy!</div>

I again happened to have blocks of feta cheese. I wanted to do something different with it this time. and I came up with this. I wasn’t sure if Feta will stand the heat of the oven but it nicely did. I guess a few more minutes in the hot oven and I would have had feta sauce! Thankfully, it didn’t happen. The cheese was just a tad soft, perfect to spread on crackers or use as a dip on a crudite platter.</div>

We were at Montana’s restaurant and we had this appetizer over last month. <i>The menu reads: Antojitos means Amazingly Delicious! A spicy blend of cheese, jalapeno, onion and red pepper, rolled up in a flour tortilla and oven baked till it all melts together. Served with pesto sour cream.</i> I was like, wow! You guys gave away the entire recipe to me! I knew that time that I have to make this very soon! And yes, I’ve got all the ingredients listed on the menu on my hand. I mean in my pantry and my refrigerator. So, here’s my version of this classic. And to tell you the truth, much better because I used MORE cheese!</div>

Just an experiment I did over this past winter. It did take a long time to grow the celery but it worked. I don't have the pictures of the final product but I did get the thin,delicate stalks of celery which were just so delicious! </div>

Again, me with yet another simple dish. For all those veggie lovers and haters out there, this is the dish to try! Lovers will love to have their veggies this way and haters will start devouring their veggies! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is so very simple to make. Take as many vegetables as you fancy. Cut them in chunks, make sure they are all uniform in size. now, sprinkle salt, pepper, Italian seasoning or whatever seasoning you have on hand, end with a dollop of oil! Bake in preheated 425° F. hot oven for about 20 minutes or the vegetables are done but still have a bite to them. At this point, you can eat them as it is, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top, or make a wrap! Choice is yours! Enjoy!</div>

We all have leftover chapatis at home right?! So many times we wonder how to use them up. Growing up, my mom used to normally deep fry the leftover chapatis, or make upma out of them. Hence, this recipe! I didn't make upma per se, but the method is just the same. Only the yogurt part is missing as we like to have this dish a bit on dry side. and again folks, no recipe. we all know how to crumble the leftover chapatis. Then, do the tempering of your liking, add other seasonings and all the masala powders that suits your taste, and voila, leftover chapati chevdo(crumble) is ready for us to enjoy!</div>

For us Christians, this is the biggest event that happened on this day. Jesus Christ rose up from the dead and 40 days later, He went to heaven in clouds. We have a promise that He will be back again one day to take us, who have believed in Him up in heaven with him. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So, here’s the cake to celebrate today, the Resurrection Sunday or Easter Sunday. A luscious, cannoli cream filling layered cake.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here’s how I made it:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Cannoli Cream Cake</strong></div>
<div>
<strong>Ingredients:</strong></div>
<div>
<strong>For the cake</strong>:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Makes 2 sponge cakes(about 9’)</div>
<div>
½ cup Cake Flour</div>
<div>
¼ cup AP flour(or just use ¾ cup AP flour)</div>
<div>
1 tsp. baking powder</div>
<div>
¼ tsp. salt</div>
<div>
3 tbsp. milk</div>
<div>
2 tbsp. butter, softened</div>
<div>
1 tsp. vanilla</div>
<div>
5 eggs, separated, at room temperature</div>
<div>
10 tbsp. sugar</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Syrup:</div>
<div>
½ cup water</div>
<div>
¼ cup sugar</div>
<div>
¼ cup orange juice since we don’t have liquor in our house! you could use your fav. Chocolate or orange flavour liquor</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Filling and Frosting:</div>
<div>
12 oz. cream cheese</div>
<div>
8 oz. mascarpone cheese</div>
<div>
About 2/3 cup powdered sugar</div>
<div>
1 cup drained ricotta cheese</div>
<div>
Almonds for garnish, toasted and chopped or sliced</div>
<div>
Cocoa powder or chocolate chips for decorating top of the cake</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>How to:</strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>For Sponge Cake</strong>:</div>
<div>
Preheat the oven to 350° F. </div>
<div>
Butter and flour 2 round cake pans.</div>
<div>
Line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake</div>
<div>
Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt to combine.</div>
<div>
Set aside</div>
<div>
Heat the milk and butter in a measuring cup in microwave until butter is melted completely. </div>
<div>
Add vanilla, set aside.</div>
<div>
Using the hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, add 5 tbsp sugar gradually.</div>
<div>
Set aside.</div>
<div>
Now in a separate bowl, beat egg yolks, adding 5 tbsp sugar slowly, until pale in color and thick.</div>
<div>
Fold egg whites into yolk mixture.</div>
<div>
Gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture and fold gently until almost combined.</div>
<div>
Pour the milk mixture and fold until evenly distributed.</div>
<div>
Divide the batter in 2 pans, bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and cool completely.</div>
<div>
Make syrup by heating sugar and water in a pan until sugar is melted. Add orange juice or liquor. Set aside.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Filling and Frosting</strong>:</div>
<div>
Using a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar.</div>
<div>
Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla, combine.</div>
<div>
This is going to be filling and frosting.</div>
<div>
Cut the cooled cakes in the middle with the sharp knife so that you have 4 slices of the cake.</div>
<div>
Using the pastry brush, soak the cakes with syrup.</div>
<div>
Top one half with ricotta filling. </div>
<div>
Repeat with another 2 layers.</div>
<div>
Use the leftover filling to frost the top layer and all around the cake.</div>
<div>
Now cover the sides with toasted almonds.</div>
<div>
And top with chocolate chips and cocoa powder.</div>
<div>
Refrigerate the cake overnight for the best taste.</div>
<div>
Slice through the cake, and </div>
<div>
Enjoy! </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Here’s how I made it:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<strong>Instant Pedas</strong>:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Ingredients</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
600 gms ricotta cheese</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
2 cans(600 ml) condensed milk</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Cardamom powder for flavouring</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Chopped pistachios and almonds for garnish</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<strong>How to:</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
On medium high heat, cook both ricotta and condensed milk until mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
You will get solid lump in about 30 minutes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Don’t forget to add cardamom powder now!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Once the mixture cools down enough to handle, grease your palms with melted butter and make pedas.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
Enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This is one of those recipes that saves you when you are in a what-to-make-for-dinner rut or running late and still want to place a home cooked meal on the dinner table. From start to finish, it only takes about 30 minutes. And this is really kid pleasing dish. So what more do you want?! I know the dinner time rush as I come home from work at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2098168089" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">5.30 PM</span></span></span> every day and going crazy to bring the food on table in 40 minutes. I normally do prep work in the weekends like chopping vegetables, boiling pastas to al-dente and making sauces for pasta. This comes in handy because we all know that boiling water for pasta takes forever! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">There is this restaurant in the same building where I work. It serves eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s not a diner. It’s a full scale restaurant. And I just love their omelettes. They have different pastas with eggs in them or eggs in sauces. I am not brave enough yet to try all of them. But I love the breakfast. And this omelette is what I normally get every time I am there. it’s so hearty and yummy, it keeps me full for the rest of the day! No kidding! And it has spinach and mushrooms in it. So I have my vegetables and protein in just one dish. I know I don’t need nothing more than it. I wanted to recreate it at home and finally over the weekend, I was able to make it for breakfast. And it was totally worth it. Try to sneak in as many vegetables you can for your picky eaters. If they love eggs, you are good to go! This omelette with toasted English muffins, fruits, juice and coffee. The breakfast of the champions!</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><b>How to:</b></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Roast the egg plant cubes with salt, pepper and oil in a hot oven until they are just tender.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Spoon Marinara sauce over the cubes, sprinkle with cheeses and again stick them in the hot oven till cheeses are melted a bit.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Serve with your choice of crackers(I used parmesan chips that I made earlier) and sauce(again, I served with roasted red pepper coulis).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Enjoy!</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Edamame are just fresh soybeans. They either come in the pods or beans only. mostly frozen if just the beans. They are chockfull of nutrients. I love to snack on them or use them to make chillies and soups. This is yet another quick and tasty side dish that can be used as a salad as well. You can have it as it is or place them with roasted potatoes or your choice of greens.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And there is no recipes. Frozen beans, sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper and some oil. Place them in a foil pack for the easy clean up. Either roast it in a hot oven at 425° F for about 20 minutes or if you have an outdoor grill, use it.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Enjoy!</span></span></div>

This casserole was exactly that. I prefer this kind of meal for Sunday dinners. Nothing elaborate as I would like to rest as much as I can on Sunday evenings to recharge myself for the busy week ahead of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was more of a semi homemade casserole and very much loved by my family.

<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I’ve made cannolis. Been there, done that! too much work. I still enjoy good cannolis every now and then but at home, I try to satisfy my craving for cannoli with foods like this. Because Cannoli cream, no biggie. I always have ricotta and mascarpone cheeses on hand. So I can make that in a jiffy. And I have used prebaked phyllo shells earlier. This time, I thought, why not make pancakes? And that’s exactly what this is. Absolutely heavenly! Maybe next time, crepes! Who knows?!</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calisto MT; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Well, I don’t have pictures of the full platter that I made of these pancakes. just a couple to show you how good they looked. They were much better with a drizzle of warmed Maple syrup.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-language: GU; mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another nostalgic sweet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Growing up in India, we always used to make
this on Dec. 22<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> night as the next day being mom’s birthday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So no cake ever on mom’s birthday. Always
these delicious ladoos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here I have
tried to stay true to mom’s recipe as hers is the BEST recipe and she used to
make these for so many family members. I didn’t want to go any other directions
when I make this. And again, I also make these on Dec.22<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> to relive
the memory of those childhood days.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
