Vegan Pancakes - Eggless, Butterless Pancakes


Pancakes are light fluffy breakfast treats made with flour, eggs and milk. I was introduced to them when I moved to America. I had my first pancakes at iHop Restaurant. They make good pancakes and they provide you with an array of syrups to top your pancakes with. Plus you can order them with a variety of fruits. What's not to love.

Focaccia Caprese - Focaccia with Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil

Focaccia Caprese is a variation of Focaccia influenced by the Capri region on Italy. The flavours usually included are Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil like in a Caprese Salad. As you might know I am part of a Baking Group called 'We Knead to Bake'. We bake a bread every month based on the recipe given by Aparna. After a successful year (yes, we baked 12 breads together and learned a lot), we are moving on to the second year with newer members and newer adventures.

Lemon Madeleine - Traditional French Madeleines


Madeleines are soft cake/cookies from France. They are noticeable for their unique shell shape. They are spongy in the middle and slightly crispy on the edges. We were introduced to these yummy goodies way back in US when we were shopping in Costco. So it goes without saying that we bulk purchased loads of them and devoured them.

Vegan Mashed Potato

Mashed Potatoes are a very popular side dish served in America and England. Though I love potatoes in most forms, this is one form that I never took a liking to. But little one and husband love it. Its probably their favourite potato recipe. I prepared this Vegan Healthy Mashed Potato with my Christmas Dinner.
