Its amazing how much you have to think to out-smart these tiny kids already!
If Ariana refuses to eat a banana without being a monkey about it, I have to find ways to not waste them, and make them into something she likes. And BANANA BREAD it is!
At times I really feel like m living with a lil monkey! The signs of terrible twos and the rebellious behavior with it have already started showing. :) Peeled bananas, half eaten bananas, or lets-see-what-happens-when-I squash-a-banana, are all the possible types of bananas found in our house right now.

From absolutely disliking chocolates, to making something out of them at least once a week, Ariana has definitely shared her love of bittersweet heavenliness with me. She doesn’t yet like eating nutella right out of the jar, that’s why i had to look for recipes that would suit her taste and make a good enough and a healthy snack for her. This is the ONE and ONLY chocolate dessert I can feast on! No other cake like this one, can say ‘’its time to celebrate’’! And what better reason than to make it on our anniversary. The recipe looks like a long tedious one, but trust me it isn’t. Its actually a lot of fun to make this cake. And what better rewards than an earshot grin of satisfaction from your better half!
To be honest, I am not a big fan of biscuits or cookies. But that all changed during my cabin crew days. On all the flights to the U.S, for a snack with tea or coffee, we had to bake choco-chip cookies on board. The dough didn't come in any branded pack, so I always thought that the catering department actually made them from scratch. One of the days when I bumped into a friend who worked in catering department, I couldn’t stop myself from asking him if the cookie dough was branded or made by the department. And it turned out to be Nestlé cookie dough! As soon as I landed back at base, googled the recipe for cookies and also went and bought the Nestlé Tollhouse cookie dough. Made two batches of the cookies to see if I could create the same taste. And to my amazement, I did!! Ever since, I have been baking these so often, as they make a perfect breakfast with a nice glass of cold milk. A very simple and a quick recipe, with mouth-watering results! A definitely must-try. I have been asked by a lot of people to find out a good eggless cake recipe, and luckily I stumbled upon this one.
Some people like de-stressing with listening to music, or jogging or anything else, but for me, the best de-stressing method is baking. The process of making and the smell of baking are absolutely heavenly and therapeutic! One of my favourite de-stressing options! |
