  Vanilla Poached Pears

  Posted on February 9, 2012 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food, Vegetarian

  International eating is what took place in our home tonight. It all started with REB and I wanting to do something with the leftover block of tofu we had. We hadn’t made any kind of Asian food in a while, so we decided to do our recipe of General’s Tofu. We used up some mushrooms [...]

  Gingerbread cookies

  Posted on December 28, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  We made gingerbread cookies today! Mostly because we were bored. We followed a recipe from a book my future brother- and sister-in-law got me for Christmas. They turned out pretty well! The only thing we noticed after the first batch came out, was that they were incredibly hard! We both prefer cookies that are on [...]

  Mint Chip Cookies

  Posted on December 22, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  The holiday season brings out the Holly Homemaker in me. Well OK, not really, but I seem more inclined to bake during the holidays. REB and I have wanted cookies for a few nights now. I realized I had everything in my pantry to make cookies, so why not? This is based on the typical [...]

  Mango burfi

  Posted on November 26, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Indian

  Indian sweets are really sweet. I don’t care for a lot of them, but there are some I absolutely I can’t resist. I did a recipe earlier this year for kheer (Indian rice pudding), which is REB’s absolute favorite. Yesterday, my awesome sister showed me how to make mango burfi. Burfi is basically a solid [...]

  White Chocolate Bark

  Posted on October 28, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  Had a late night craving for some chocolate. Don’t you hate when that happens? Luckily, with a few ingredients from the pantry that needed to be used up, we were able to calm the craving and our sweet tooth. It’s probably the easiest thing to make too. We made two batches. One with slivered almonds [...]

  Kheer [Indian Rice Pudding]

  Posted on July 19, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food, Indian, Vegetarian

  I made Kheer tonight, which is Indian rice pudding. I don’t eat a lot of Indian desserts because they can sometimes be too sweet, but kheer isn’t so bad. This Indian dessert happens to be REB’s favorite. It’s velvety and rich, and has a nutty bite to it. It’s also incredibly easy to make! He [...]

  Cinnamonamonamonamon buns

  Posted on February 28, 2010 by Aparna B. in Breakfast, Desserts, Food

  Gooey, delicious, and guaranteed to be horrible for you, these cinnamon buns are amazing. I can’t in any way take credit for this recipe. My future bro-in-law makes these buns and they are to DIE for. He uses the recipe off King Arthur Flour’s web site. And since that just so happens to be the [...]

  Love and Chocolate

  Posted on February 14, 2010 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food

  Continuing from the last post about the romagical French Toast brunch, I concluded the evening by making chocolate covered strawberries for REB. I love chocolate. I’m not a huge sweets person, but chocolate and fruit are an amazing combination (much like chocolate and peanut butter). I’ve used a lot of different chocolates when baking and [...]

  Holla!!! Use Challah!

  Posted on February 14, 2010 by Aparna B. in Breakfast, Desserts, Food, Vegetarian

  Happy Hallmark Holiday…day! Ah, it’s that time of year again when people run out and waste money on chocolates and cards and flowers to show how much they love their significant other. REB and I don’t really do the whole “Valentines Day” thing. But, one of the ways I show him how much I love [...]

  Baking extravaganza – Part II

  Posted on December 22, 2009 by Aparna B. in Desserts, Food, Holiday Food

  Cake balls (hehehe) Hilarious to say, but so yummy to eat. It’s also incredibly idiot-proof to make, but requires some patience. Starring: [we made two batches] • 2 boxes of cake mix (we used Classic White and Red Velvet) • 2 cans of frosting (we used Lemon [for the white cake] and Cream Cheese [for [...]
