Spinach avocado pasta

Avocado is many of our favorite. I usually prepare guacamole, chapathis. This time I tried with pasta which turned out very yum!!! When searched in Google, I got the recipe with basil. Actually I wanted to use fresh basil instead of spinach but I didn't have that, so tried spinach which was also very tasty.

If you are using basil you can just pulse it. No need to cook. Spinach avocado pasta was very creamy without butter and cheese. A very quick recipe indeed.

Mango mocktail

A very refreshing drink, served in summer cools the body too. The sweet-sour mixture, crushed with ice, not only quenches the taste but stimulate your appetite too. The added roasted cumin powder enhances the flavor.

Cauliflower pepper stir fry

Sometimes I love the have the natural color of vegetable even after it is cooked. So I tired doing cauliflower with green chilies and ground peepers. To say, the taste was different and my little one liked it very much and ended up eating as such.

Lemon bread

This lemony bread was inspired from a magazine. The original recipe was from Jennifer which she added egg. I made it as eggless version. It is very tasty and quick to make with the glazed lemon touch.

The bright color of lemon and the taste always makes me to admire this fruit. Anything with lemon especially in dessert tastes splendid. It can be served as a breakfast,snack or dessert. The poppy seeds and lemon goes together well.

Carrot Rice

When it comes to variety  rice I do it very rarely. My kids doesn't like the rice to be dry, but they love the tomato rice. So I mixed tomato and added grated carrot which turned into aromatic and healthy pilaf.

You can use the same method and use any vegetable like beet, spinach.

Hazelnut spread rolls

On the Nutella day I saw lots of recipe on the blogging world. Want to try some thing with Nutella. This recipe was in a magazine from the Nutella company.

This is very simple to make and tasted heavenly.

Almond and cashew fudge

I have tasted the almond and cashew sweets, but never tasted with milk powder. My MIL do this for any special occasion. This was prepared by her only.

I don't want to have more because I was worried that I will gain more weight :), but tempted me a lot and ended up with eating more.

Whipped feta with roasted peppers

When I buy tortilla chips, my kids need avocado too for Guacamole. This time for a change I tried dip with roasted bell peppers.This recipe was from a book called "The joy of cooking". It was very creamy and the roasted pepper tasted very good.

If you like to avoid more spice, add chopped Jalapeno peppers or green chilly at the end. 

Beet cake

I would not say this is dessert, but great with a tea time snack or even breakfast. I did not use sugar in this cake, my beet was sweeter and I mixed some honey. If you have a sweet tooth add one fourth cup of sugar. More than a cake it was like a sweet bread.

The color of the cake was good, but not perfect like velvet cake. I skipped all purpose flour and used multigrain flour.
