Welcome to my Blog

Hmm you'll say...yet another food blog! And I'll beg to differ, although I must say my recipes are not hi-funda, and sometimes the pictures do not do justice to them (I'm working on that) but you'll find them extremely easy to cook, hassle free and down right delicious.
So if you are a newbie in the kitchen department or has not ventured into the kitchen for some strange reason (like me)...then you have come to the right place.

Happy Cooking!

Delish Fruit Cups

Now here's one dessert that has no sugar...the flavor totally rides on the fresh fruits and whip cream. Assembling the dessert is a breeze once you have all the ingredients ready :) Again there are no limits to the kind of fruits you want to add, I put whatever I had handy.


Ingredients:
1 apple
1 orange
1 banana
1 cup cantaloupe
1 cup grapes
1 cup mango
2-3 tsp fresh apricot
2-3 tsp black raisins
3-4 dates


Method:
Cut all the fruits in desired sizes, layer them in a serving bowl.

Scoop a dollop of whip cream on top and sprinkle black raisins, dried apricots and dates. Serve cold!

Cantaloupe Dessert

Click to enlarge image

There are a lot of fruits come summer in the grocery stores and the most ideal and also my favorites are Cantaloupes. Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cantaloupe, cut in 1 in cubes
2-3 cups Half and Half or whole milk
sugar to taste

Method:
Boil the milk and let it cool, refrigerate for an hour.

Scoop out the seeds and cut the cantaloupes in a bowl and sprinkle sugar, mix in well. You can avoid putting the sugar, but since I have a sweet tooth...I prefer them with it. Also because cantaloupes are not very sweet, the sugar gives them the added flavor.


In a serving bowl, take cantaloupes and splash in desired milk. Serve cold.
