Watermelon N Pomegranate Juice

The climate is slowly changing with the Ac's On and Off.Last year we had rain from the month of October itself but now it is half of November,but still not that much rain.Few days back it drizzled a little.Mornings are a little cold but again afternoons are very hot.

Caramel Pop Corn/ Sweet And Sticky Pop Corn

I remember when we were young once during our summer vacation in India Ummi prepared Pop corns and every one was like ''Ooh you have bought the pop corn machine eh?''They wouldn't or couldn't believe it was made on stove top in a cooking vessel.It was the time when there weren't any supermarkets nearby in our area and nobody used microwave or any such things.They didn't know about these kernels (other than Corn on the cob) nor did they know how to make this.There were a few bachelor relatives who had eaten Pop Corns but they too didn't know it could be made very easily at home.

Papaya - Avocado Salad With Vinegar-Honey Dressing

Days and weeks are just flying,already one month summer vacation is over.Two weeks back my Cousin started a Cafeteria and there was its inauguration.His elder son is Adi's age so when ever we meet in each others house they play together and are very friendly.My children know my Cousin only as Raz's Dad and not how we are all related.The maximum my children know about a relative is ,it is from their mother's side or Dad's side.Though their house is very far from ours his cafeteria is located just a signal away from our house .This two weekends our dinner was parceled from there.

Cucumber Coconut Salad

Today is the 10th of the month and yes guessed it right :) time for our July MFB Challenge.This time the theme or the ingredient to try was the humble green Cucumber,which I think is a veg loved by all age group.Children like eating it as such,even elderly people in my family back home have this but in a cooked way to make it a little soft.

Oats With Dry Fruits And Nuts

Already we are in the last few days of Ramadan.And the ten days goes with the best prayers one can make expecting Lailathul Qadr. 
Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni 
(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me)
A little about Lailathul Qadr-the Night of Power/Decree expected during the the last days mainly the odd nights is of great significance. The Holy Quran was sent down in this night. Angels descend in this night.There is a chapter in the Holy Quran mentioning about this.

Custard Apple Milkshake

Have you tried making Milkshakes or smoothies with Custard Apple.If it's a 'no' just because of the task of separating the seeds from this delicious fruit then no more worries now because the process is so simple which can be done in a jiffy,and you have your other  ingredients then bliss...

Strawberry Milkshake

I don't know what to say about the weather condition existing now, it's been very hot for some days now.But did Winter end without any rains??Or is this for a heavy rain ahead,Almighty knows best :)                  Anyways,today's recipe is a simple Milkshake which can be made in a jiff.

Mango Salsa

When the 'King of fruits' -Mangoes are in season ..its like Mangoes every where and in every thing.I have already posted a Mango Lassi and a Mango Cake Roll long time back.
This time I was lucky enough to get both the raw and ripe ones from India grown from Umma's garden.My hubby when returning from India after a two weeks trip and also my Dad came here for a two weeks stay,both of them came with loads of Mangoes.Umma was also very happy she could sent them because such things could not be sent with other relatives due to the weight.And getting something from our own garden is totally different from what we purchase(now a days mainly health wise).However, my little boy just don't like eating this fruit...his selecting and eating habits sometimes make me go crazy hehe....

Crushed Watermelon Drink

To imagine summers without Watermelons is next to impossible.I think its a favorite summer fruit for many ,surely for my family.
