Low Fat WholeWheat-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Having my dearest MIL & FIL over for a visit @ my place, i thought i'd give them a lil taste of my baking addiction, in fact i've been itching for almost over a month & a half to get my hands on my owen...Boy - O - Boy was i happy....Baking makes my heart skip a couple of beats with happines...!!
With Chocolate & Biscuit being a new addition to my trilingual 18 month old's awesomely mixed up, yet growing dictionary i decided to give her a healthy dose of a combination of what she's been eagerly wanting to eat just all of other than what is called Healthy food for a child of her age...& as a cherry on top she has her Paternal Grandparent's spoiling her to the G, what more could she ask for...?? anything you name she has it before she "SCREAM'S " her lungs out ...!!

So much so i am seriously giving a thought of putting her on to a play school ASAP...and drive in some discipline into the lil Brat...!!!

Well chocolate always send's in a sense of powerful guilt after an utterly awesome and extremely immense feeling of powerless-ness while having these heavenly goodies..!! I was inspired by Traditional Oatmeal cookies on Gourmet.com & decided to however just making a small attempt to try and make ourselves feel less guilt with a few changes here & there..!!

Also can be treated as and awesome serve warm cookie after school or a great treat to get packed away in your kids lunch box, however if you prefer to omit chocolate chips, i'd suggest raisins which go equally well or you could even experiment with even equal amount's of both... they taste divine..!!

+Green PeasPulao / Matar Pulao(One Pot Meal...;)

Matar/Green Peas Pulao(One Pot Meal): Weekend's somehow make me feel weak in the knees to eat rice...i feel really bored to have roti's & dosas the whole week through..!! My versatile pallets and the stomach who's used to eat variety from mom screams out and demands more variety on the weekends. However though a weekday today i broke the usual rules and cooked up my favorite "Matar Pulao" which doesn't take much time as well as it's not too much of a labor, since it all goes in one pot and pressure cook cool and serve, so i don't need to even wash too many dishes, so last night's dinner was Green Peas Pulao, Karnataka style with a slight variation for the sake of good health..;P What goes Inside: 1Cup: Basmati Rice(i used Basmati, since this is what i can acquire here easily ) or normal cooking rice of your choice. Spices: As per your taste you may add or delete the same(Cinnamon sticks+Green Cardamom+C...

Eggless Choco Crumbly CookiesTried & Tested

A few days back i happened to post my *Tried & Tested* version of 20 min Choco Almond - Cashew Secret Center Crumbly Cookies and a very old school friend popped me a question on how about an egg-less version and and i decided to give that a try well with slight variations of my own..;).This is an exceptionally easy one for baking beginners.These are Classic Shortbread sort of Cookies which absolutely melt in your mouth...but technically these are cookies which use Cornflour along with normal All purpose Flour while baking these.The Cocoa in it adds a much needed twist to their melt in the mouth texture apart from the fact that these are Egg less.I used a bit of yoghurt and maple syrup while experimenting with flavours and while adding to it's health value i don't think it did much harm to the cookie's texture too...;) This one's gotta be a keeper ladies..;) So Reena, here's what i got for you especially: Eggless Chocolate Crumbly Cookies*Tried & Tested*...

+Coffee Liqueur - (Non Alcoholic)

Coffee Liqueur - (Non - Alcoholic): This is something i used when i made my daughter's Birthday Cake earlier,and i really can vouch on this one for it's taste, i actually shouldn't be terming this one as liqueur, because there is no alcohol in it. But frankly you know what, I can't just call it plain coffee-cocoa-sugar syrup. I'd say this one's just too plain for something so ecstatic tasting,In fact, this one is so amazing. And if you just happen to have a little extra left, just save it up and use it to make your next cup of home-made mocha, and believe me you won't just stop at one cup! What Goes Inside: 1 Cup: Water. 1 Tbsp: Cocoa powder( I used Hershey's). 1 1/4 Tbsp: Instant Coffee powder. 3/4 Cup: Sugar. How it's put in together: In a small pan combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Set aside and cool before using. If you intend on making an alcoholic liqueur, all you need to add to this is few couple spoons ...
