Pizza rolls

I've been wanting to  make pizza for ages ofcourse from scratch.But somehow things never work out.Either i have no veggies for toppings or no cheese.So this time i just decided i should go and make something with a pizza base.I made the pizza sauce the day before.Also the idea was to make pizza pinwheels but what happened was not very nice to look at but tasted really yummy and my kids loved it.

Home made popcorn with corn kernels

Love popcorn?Don;t buy the packed ones dripping with oil and fat.These use lesser fat and lesser oil.I saw my friend Vidya do this first only then did i try using this method.Since then i never buy any packed popcorns i only buy kernels and pop them at home.

I had a busy busy weekend with every one at home the school was almost closed like for a whole 8 days thanks to Diwali and the much awaited/needed rains here in our part of the world.How was Diwali?Everyone had a blast and truck loads of sweets dripping and flooding with sugar and ghee?So try some quick pasta recipes for a lean meal.

Home made condensed milk

There are n number of sweets and desserts that call for condensed milk and whenever I look at one and don't have it in stock my heart sinks.Now I think it won't because I can make some of my own instead of running to the store!My LM (like me) loves to lick off a can of condensed milk so I'm waiting with some for her to eat once she gets from school.

How to make Restaurant style Vegetable Spring Rolls from at home

The summer holidays are here and a much needed break for the moms and the kids.I just told my LM that for another month and half i don't have to scream at her to brush her teeth and take a bath first thing in the morning!But ofcourse there will be screaming for other things...sigh the joys of motherhood!

I recently discovered my LM loves spring rolls so I decided to make them from scratch.I was fearing it would be a long process but not really.As usual the chopping took more time than the actual preparation of the spring rolls.

Home made peanut butter

I have always bought a jar of peanut butter since the time i knew peanut butter existed.Until a few weeks ago i saw on tv how easy it was to make it at home, and since then I was itching to make it at home.And i discovered its not only easy but can be made sweet free and less oilier than the bottled ones.

We love peanut butter and to have this home made one is even more better as its free from preservatives and unwanted fat and sugars.

Bread is my all time anytime favourite snack to munch on.This easy and healthy sandwich is so yummy and it has fruit so double yummy!

To make the peanut butter, its not a recipe exactly just the rough procedure :

You need 

Roasted and peeled peanuts as much you need

Oil (i used sunflower oil) 2 3 tablespoons

Rock salt a pinch

Honey as much as you need (if you need to sweeten it)

• Add all the stuff to a blender or food processor and make into a creamy peanut butter.Add enough oil to make the peanut butter nice and smooth or crunchy as per your taste.

To make the sandwich : spread peanut butter and jam generously on slices of bread and chop a banana and place them in between the bread slices and enjoy.

Hope you all enjoy some creamy delicious home made peanut butter and enjoy your peanut butter sandwich with a hot cuppa tea!

Tips:

• Store peanut butter in a clean glass bottle in the refrigerator and it's been good so far been a week now for me.
• I didn't add any sweetener like i mentioned earlier as we usually have peanut butter and jam and jam is loaded with sugar.Just the salt is good enough to make it taste good.
• You need to add enough oil to get the right spreading consistency.
• Check if your mixer jar is dry else the peanut butter may not stay good for too long.
