I have created monsters in the form of my parents. I have spoilt them so much that at every afternoon they demand that something be served with tea. Most days, I make something, or have something in the freezer to pop into the oven. I wish I was lucky like most people, that could just … Continue reading 1- Bowl chocolate chip cookies
Orange cake
If I had to see this recipe in a book, I would have overlooked it and turned the page. I am not a huge orange fan. The only orange related food we have in the house is a random bottle of Orange juice, that I sometimes crave for breakfast. But you will never find a … Continue reading Orange cake
Burfee biscuits
With less than a month to go before Diwali 2020, I am starting to plan and practice making goodies. Practice makes perfect and seeing as I didn’t celebrate last year, this was supposed to be my return with a bang year. Well that was the plan and that is what I thought would happen. But … Continue reading Burfee biscuits

Banana and walnut cookies
These past few weeks have been draining, with prayers every other weekend. The just isn’t time to stand and bake and of course I have been 100% lazy. This also means that are no groceries in the pantry and no food in the fridge. Everything is either last minute throw together or take away. I … Continue reading Banana and walnut cookies

The pump … Continue reading Squash mac and cheese pie

The past week has been a week from hell. Actually I lie, the past couple of months have been like this in our hometown.

Chocolate tahini cake with tahini frosting.
Chocolate tahini cake with tahini frosting. I should have named this revenge cake rather. I made this cake after I read my future cousin in law’s page and she was baking yet again. Such a copy cat!!! I feel like I went from being the first of the trio of cousins that were born to … Continue reading Chocolate tahini cake with tahini frosting.

The worst thing about this lock down, is that it has made me LAZY. Wow, never thought I would say that. My eating habits are shameful, my food planning has ceased to exist and the weight just keeps growing from every soft part of my body. I blame Mr D. just with the press of … Continue reading Miso glazed doughnuts
Blackened spatchcock chicken
I love making roast chicken for a meal, it’s a one pan wonder, just flavor and season to your heart’s content. Put it in a roasting pan with veggies or roast potatoes and pop it into the oven for a few hours. I love making blackened chicken as well, so when I accidently burn the … Continue reading Blackened spatchcock chicken
