Broccoli with bread crumbs

Steamed broccoli with lemon peel and garlic taste wonderful. The bread crumbs gives crispiness to broccoli. When broccoli is steamed it doesn't lose color, the bright green with golden brown makes you to have more. My broccoli was not so fresh so I did not get nice color. I got this healthy recipe from a magazine.

Grilled veg sandwich

When I baked Eggplant sandwich, I tried this too. I used bell peppers of all colors. Try with whatever color peppers you have in hand. Great with green peppers too. This can be grilled in the oven too. I used stove top method. Try this for your dinner..........

Eggless brownie

Brownie are usually baked square and the texture is between cake and cookie. Not so soft as cake or hard as cookie. A variation made with brown sugar and no cocoa powder is Blondie. I added cocoa powder and brown sugar :)

Brownies served warm with ice cream is a wonderful combo. Like restaurants you can add some sizzling effect with brownie in hot cast iron pans. If you are a chocolate lover sure you will like this...Try this eggless brownie with no butter, obviously a low calorie brownie.

Oven roasted cauliflowers are so so good that can be served as an appetizer or snack with ketchup for kids. Great alternate to french fries that are deep fried. After roasting in oven the white florets will have golden brown edges that looks so appetizing.

Eggplant sandwich

Eggplant sandwich - I badly wanted to try this. This came out so good and tasted like pizza. I did as a open sandwich the kids loved the cheese layer on top. I Cut the Italian bread into half and did 2 different sandwiches, one this and the other was grilled veggie sandwich (will be posting soon). My eggplant skin was not so hard so I grilled as such, if you feel it's hard and don't like the skin peel them off and grill it.

Italian salad

I have never chopped lettuce finely. I use to tare with my hand. When I had lunch at my friend's home she chopped so finely, I love the idea and asked for the recipe. Then I changed a little and got this wonderful salad. Increase or reduce the vegetables of your choice.

Capsicum pilaf

Whenever I buy color peppers, I cook this pilaf and pasta. If you don't have color peppers try with green pepper. The flavor of mint and cilantro enhances the taste of rice. Try this simple pilaf.
