Born with a sweet tooth, it’s hard to not have your sugary little things once in a while, and regret on the possibility of increased hip size. That’s when I started substituting bleached sugar with natural sweetners & tadaa I still get the sugar high sans the guilt. This beetroot chocolate muffin was such an…
Butter garlic prawns
We bought a little too much prawns a few days ago. After a generous portion of prawns curry & roast, didn’t want to make anything curry-ish to finish the rest of the uncooked ones in the fridge. It was evening, plus it was raining. Hence, the butter garlic prawns… Ingredients: Prawns, cleaned & de-veaned –…
Chicken pepper roast

Oatmeal choco-chip cookies
Cookies are inevitable in our household since most of our weekend breakfast includes cookies/cakes & coffee.
