Tres Leches Cake is a rich and flavorful cake made with 3 milk. This Mexican cake is a party-winner cake. Super moist and addictive.
Tres LEches cake - Divine is the word. One of the best cakes I ever had. Thanks to my co- sis for introducing me to such a delicious cake. Tres Leches is a Mexican cake prepared with three different milk(condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream).
Well, Tres Leches Cake was told by my co-sis. We visited their home, and she ordered this cake for us from Safeway. That night hubby and I skipped dinner and had this cake instead 😉
After our vacation, I searched for this recipe in many blogs and altered the recipe to suit our tastes. Baked this cake for Hubby's birthday. Referred Pioneer women's recipe

Tomato Onion Chutney | Thakkali Vengaya Chutney
Tomato onion chutney is my favorite among all chutneys. I call it red chutney. I never get bored of it. Easy to prepare and tastes yummy with many dishes.
Ever since my childhood days, Thakkali vengaya chutney is my favorite. Extra idli/dosai will go if Amma prepares this chutney. Usually, Amma saute onion and then tomato; let it cool and grind it but this version is my neighbor aunty's recipe.
Aunty call it "Sammandhi Chutney". One day when talking with Amma she told me that idli and tomato chutney is for breakfast. Amma told her that I like tomato chutney. Immediately she gave me one box. I enjoyed that chutney and loved the bright red color. Amma asked her how she prepared it and she gave this recipe.

Ever since childhood, summers call for muskmelon juice. I stil remember those days, when every summer we have muskmelon juice at least once a week. While searching for muskmelon in grocery store, I saw cantaloupe and honey dew. Though both are new to me, I bought cantaloupe. Cantaloupe was sweeter than muskmelon, we loved to eat that as a fruit but tried smoothie and it turned to be flavorful.

Recipe Category: Beverage
Ingredients:
Cantaloupe - 1 cup
Honey - 1 tbsp
Milk - 1/2 cup
Cinnamon Powder - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
Method:

- Transfer to the juicer and add honey,cinnamon and milk. Blend to Smoothie consistency
My Notes:
- Sugar / Maple syrup or any sweetener can be added instead of honey
- Adding milk is optional. You can even prepare juice without milk
