    Guest post from Karthika,  it's been a year since we had a guest in TMF happy to host Karthika😊 Facebook acquainted me to lot of blog friends. Couple of weeks ago I got connected with Karthika through a fb group. In my one year break I missed some blogs, Karthika blog was one. We initially chatted in messenger. Our mother tongue got us close and  we got connected soon. Conversation went to whatsapp in no time.

     I am big of karthika pictures and wide range of recipes.  Be it a smoothie, baked goodies traditional South Indian recipes her space has got everything.  One day I was formatting my blog, I was seeing guest posts and  that's when I was chatting with karthika. I thought of asking  guest post from Karthika, she instantly agreed and ask me what I want. Being a sweet lover what else I would have asked, I have enjoyed seeing her baked goodies. I said if possible some dessert treats, when she came up with a cake I was double happy.

    I know I am super late in posting this pachadi. I prepared this on April 14th for Varusha pirappu samayal (Tamil new year lunch). We went to Jagadish's cousin's house for the weekend, so I gave 3 days break to TMF. Today I was so confused about whether to post Vepampoo pachadi or wait for a year and post this next year😂 I already have a lot of backlog-year-old posts so don't want to stack up the queue.

    I love festive special lunch. When we were in India Amma use to buy banana leaf and we enjoyed the delicious spread. We will wait for festive days just to enjoy the lunch😋😋

    3 ingredients Pista Ice cream is super easy to make. Pistachio ice cream can be prepared within 8 minutes.Eggless Delicious frozen treat with pista, heavy cream and condensed milk. Yummy kid friendly desert. No ice cream maker (machine) required for this.

    Ice cream is one desert which I always relish. I still remember those days during summer holidays when my sister and I eagerly wait to hear the bell from ice cream vendor. Every time we see the street ice cream vendor we will rush to the door. See the menu and confuse him going back and fourth among the flavors. At times we tell Amma we need one but end up eating two and save one for later😂 

    Growing up there was no summer without Rose milk, ice cream, rasna, kirinipazham (musk melon) juice. Ice cream addiction never ends. When I was chennai I always complain about the sun, but now living in Seattle I long for seeing some sun☺️

    IMG_2760

     Kuthiraivali Millet Ven Pongal Is a healthy version of a traditional South Indian breakfast/tiffin items prepared with rice and moong dal. This is one of the tasty and filling barnyard millet recipes to try.

    Pongal is a very common tiffin prepared in the home. We generally prefer Pongal for weekend brunch, after heavy Pongal with lot ghee will watch tv and leisurely spent the rest of the day. I have a big sweet tooth so when we were young Amma always pair Ven Pongal with sakkarai Pongal. After I started cooking since I make Pongal for brunch I make vadai with Pongal, but the calorie factor alarms me these days.

    Almond flour Chocolate Cookies  | almond flour cookies | eggless chocolate cookies | almond cookies with chocolate icing is so addictive. Eggless cookies are a tasty and healthy treat with Almond flour. It is delicious Gluten-free cookies.

    Recently I am exploring Almond flour recipes a lot. From now on you will see lot of Almond flour recipes in TMF. Not only because I good Almond flour from Costco 😂😂 I have been using wheat and oats flour a lot before Vishvak gets bored with that, but I should also start some more options.

    After coming to US I found lots of interesting new ingredients which I haven't used before. When Vishvak was around 15 months he was not a big fan of eating nuts. I try using nuts in his snacks. That's when I started buying Almond flour. During my last year break, my mother-in-law taught me how to make Almond burfi with almond flour. Vishvak loves it, I used to do it frequently and started buying almond flour regularly.

    Cabbage kootu is a tasty rice accompaniment/ gravy prepared with moong dal and cabbage. With less oil delicious muttaikose kootu can be easily prepared within 20 minutes. This is no onion - no garlic tamil Brahmin style kootu.

    Ever since childhood days I was not a big fan of cabbage. Once I heard cabbage is good for weight loss from that day onward I started accepting this vegetable 😂 Amma usually makes either curry (poriyal) or kootu with cabbage. Remember my brussel Sprouts thengai curry, it is based on Amma's cabbage curry.

    Cabbage kootu is one versatile dish which goes well in many form. I don't remember when I was first time I tasted kootu but during school days we use to have half day for alternate Saturday. Most of the day I will be physically present but mind will be thinking of "Shaktimaan" serial.

    Watching "Shaktimaan" serial and eating lunch is my usual routine. Most of the times I will be so much into the tv I won't realize what I eat. That is my Amma's favorite part, she manage to make me eat my least favorite healthy vegetables.

    Banana Bran Bread | Banana Nut Bread

    Banana bran bread | Best Banana Bread recipe | Easy banana bread moist banana bread | banana bread  step-by-step pictures and video recipe. Check out the Eggless Banana Bread recipe. If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

    bananabread
    Banana bean bread is a Healthy and tasty breakfast bread with banana, bran and nuts. This Fiber rich healthy bread is also a yummy mid morning snack too. Kids can't say no to this tasty delight. This make-ahead banana nut bread stays good for 3 days at room temperature.

    Banana is one fruit I would love to put in many recipes, I have already posted couple of banana based recipes in TMF. After a gap, here I am with another banana recipe.

    Vishvak generally prefers having breakfast and lunch at home. There are only a few items which he tastes in school. Off late, his teacher tells me he enjoys banana bread. Every mom's biggest happiness to find their kid's favorite healthy snack.

    I usually make eggless banana bread. Few weeks back while doing grocery trip I met a friend. We were chit chatting and she told she is looking for bran. Fibre rich bran is very good for health and told me to try giving to Vishvak.

    I bought a box,and tried to give him, but looking at the texture and healthy taste he refused to eat. He said it is not cheerios/cornflakes. That day I couldn't find a way to make him eat. I ended up eating it.

    IMG_2365After changing the bran to cereal dispenser when I was about to throw the box, I saw the banana bread recipe in the cereal box. Remembering his love for banana bread I just wanted to give it a try so started looking at the ingredients and recipe.

    Loaded with banana this bread is not only rich in potassium, but is also a filling breakfast. Good part of this banana bread is using over ripe banana, instead of throwing over ripe banana delicious banana bran bread can be prepared. Luckily I had 3 bananas in my pantry.

    IMG_2354

    Based on the ingredients I have at home and also our taste I did very few modifications to the recipe. Original Banana bread recipe called for margarine, I have never used it. Moreover I don't want to buy it as I have a tendency to keep certain things in fridge for ages. At times I even forget about once-used ingredients. I generally prefer using butter for my baking. It is healthy (I am not telling margarine is not healthy, I don't know anything about it) and the aroma while baking & tasting the butter recipes make me so addictive for it.

    Nuts don't need a special shoutout😂 Good cholesterol from the Almonds not only makes it healthy, but nuts also gives nice crunch to the bread. For me this is one more reason to make my toddler eat nuts so I can't skip it. 

    Banana Bran Nut bread is a yummy make-ahead breakfast recipe. Mornings are a breeze with breakfast like this. All I should do is pack it for office. Well that also I do previous night😆  In our home we like to warm the bread before eating. 10 -15 sec in microwave, yum yum yum👌🏻 Did I forgot my one more favorite combo, banana bread and ice cream😋😋
