MBP-Less is more


Less is more appeals a lot to me. In my mind, less ingredients is less cooking time and hence perfect on those days when I don't feel like preparing elaborate meals, which is actually most days!!! Here is a very simple recipe from Kalyn's Kitchen that I modified to include a few more veggies. I love this recipe- I love all the veggies that go into it and I am a big fan of sesame seeds

Roasted Broccoli, snap peas and baby corn- Abi's style

2 broccoli heads- florets cut from the stem
a handful of baby corn
1 cup snap peas cut in halves
Soy sauce, 2tbsp
Sesame oil- 2tbsp
Salt and pepper to taste
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Preheat the oven to 450F. Mix the veggies, soy sauce, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl and spread it on a baking dish.
Place the dish in the oven- after about 15minutes, take it out and turn once.
15min later you have delicious roasted veggies.
Garnish with sesame seeds
Have fun roasting

    I do like the idea of adding other veggies with the broccoli. I bet roasted sugar snap peas are good, never tried that!

Gingerbread house

Oh the warm smell of spices is the hallmark of the holiday season and is the one thing we all love, don't we? GInger is definitely one spice that I love to include in my cooking/baking expeditions during this time of the year. So I was naturally happy to see that this month we were doing the gingerbread house for this month's challenge, well it was a fleeting moment anyway until I realized that it was yet another kitchen mishap. Consider this my 10th new recipe and the 3rd in Nupur's marathon . The December 2009 Daring Baker's challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi . They chose to challenge Daring Bakers' everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They chose recipes from Good Housekeeping and from The Great Scandinavian Baking Book  as the challenge recipes. I used Y's recipe Ingredients 1 cup butter, room temperature 1 cup brown sugar, well packed 2 tablespoons cinnamon 4 teaspoons ground g...

From "The Baker's Daughter"

I love to read books and I love to cook- so "Cook the Books" event called out to me, what more can I say? When I didn't want to just sit around and catch up Breaking Bad episodes leading up to the finale yesterday, I threw these buns and some great vegan-gluten free strawberry cupcakes in the mix.  The book chosen for the bi-monthly event Cook the Books is Sarah McCoy's "The Baker's Daughter "- a story about that intertwines food, history and a great narrative (toggles between WWII times in Germany and the present). I am just about a third done and so far like what I have read. I will post the review once I am done reading but in the meantime I leave you with these gorgeous buns that are traditionally made on St. Thomas Day that falls on Dec 21st (which also happens to be the shortest day).   Thomasplitzchen Buns 1 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup raw sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup almond milk Filli...

Heirloom recipes

When Jai and Bee of the famed Jugalbandi announced Heirloom as this month's theme for monthly mingle , I was excited. Well not because we have recipes that have been passed down generations in our family but because we have a tradition that involves food and that is close to all our hearts. On the days when it rained in Chennai (that used be one of the many excuses), my ma or grandma would make some lovely வெங்காய வேத்தகுழம்பு and some spicy உறுலைகிழங்கு கறி (Onion vetthakuzhambu with spicy dry potato curry). The kuzhambu would then be mixed with rice and heavenly smelling நல்லெண்ணை (Sesame oil) in a big bowl. We would gather around the bowl (did not use a dining table back then) extending our hands with pleasure. My grandma (or ma) would keep the small ball of rice in our palms and top it with some of the spicy curry. I remember how hard it was to make my sister and I eat any food (we were really poor eaters) but this trick of feeding us worked every time! What is interestin...
