Rainbow Pancakes - for St. Patrick's Day

I have never done anything different or special for St. Patrick's Day, mainly because I did not know what to do. The kids on the other hand have lots of ideas as to what can be done.
Last year they made a Leprachaun trap.
Today in the morning I had an idea of making rainbow pancakes for breakfast and my kids loved it.

Strawberry Scones

I love scones, but didn't know how to make it or never even thought that it will be so easy to make. When I had a big bunch of strawberries from our recent trip to Costco and we still had a lot left even after just eating like that, I thought of making something with it. Then while looking through recipes, came across this Alton Brown's recipe for scones which I thought will be good to add the strawberries to.

Fried Biscuit Doughnut Holes

The other day we were craving some doughnuts, but could not run to the store to get some. So instead made these doughnut holes and it was gone in minutes. It was soooo good and so easy to make. If you have a tin of biscuit dough, I seriously suggest try making these...:)

Apple Muffins

Over the winter break. the kids and I got to do some crafts and cooking together. This apple muffin was one of the things we cooked together. Actually most of the measuring and mixing was done by them. I just did the putting in the oven part and ofcourse the cleaning the mess afterwards. This recipe was taken from a kids recipe book and it is very simple to follow.

Khandvi (Indian snack)

Khandvi is a Indian snack from the state of Gujrat. It is made of gram flour and yogurt, which is cooked into a paste and then spread out to cool and rolled in cylindrical shapes.
It has a soft texture and a very mild flavor.

Sabudana/Tapioca Cultlet

Sabudana according to wikipedia is a starch extracted in the spongy center or pith of various tropical palm stem. If you are wondering how sabudana looks like - it looks like white pearls and usually cooked after soaking it in water. 

Monkey Bread Muffin

Last weekend, my kids helped me make these for breakfast. Not only did they love making it, but they loved eating it too. Its an easy recipe, great for making with the help of little hands..:)

Homemade Bread/Rolls

Yay!!! I finally baked my own bread...:) :)

I have been thinking of making bread, but never got to it, till a couple of days back.

Simple Corn Fry

I love corn, any form of corn - roasted, boiled or fried. Ah, I remember those days back in India, when we used to buy these roasted corn on the cob from the street vendors, all nicely rubbed with spiced salt and lemon. I can almost taste that corn just writing about it.

Anyways, today I am sharing a simple healthy snack, made with corn, which I made a couple of days back. The other day my daughter came back home after playing outside and she needed some snack. She is not a very big eater, so when she wanted to eat something, I wanted something quick and healthy for her. She loves corn, so thought of making this quick snack for her. 

Cherry Squares.

I had cherry pie filing sitting in my pantry for quiet sometime and didn't know what new thing I could make with it. And then I saw this recipe at Chengand3Kids  few days back and loved it. Thanks Ritchil!
