Easy Plum Dessert with KIND Healthy Grains

I have a confession to make: sometimes it's hard to be kind. Sometimes it's much easier to be mean, snarky, snooty and maybe even a little nasty. But I remind myself that my parents taught me better and try to be and do better.

What on Earth does this have to do with a food blog, you may think? Well, earlier this month I received a lovely package in the mail from KIND Snacks filled with

Mango Rice Pudding Recipe: Comfort Food at Home

When visiting friends or family, I always like to cook at least one meal for them. It shows love and care and takes the pressure off eating out all the time.

Spicy Eggplant Tofu from Banh Mi Cookbook by Jacqueline Pham

Mayonnaise Free Potato Salad: Cast Iron Potato Salad with Vegetables & Tahini Dressing

I love potato salads, don't you? I usually make my potato salad with mayonnaise, but this time I decided to make a mayonnaise free potato salad: variety is good, yes?

In the Summer I love using small red potatoes in my salads because they cook quickly and don't need to be peeled. For something different, I decided to crisp up the potatoes in an iron skillet after partially cooking them. This

What to do with an Eggplant? Charred Eggplant Salad & Childhood Memories

The smell of charred eggplant makes me think of my grandparents. They would always cook a whole eggplant directly on the flame of the gas stove and then mix the flesh of the eggplant with marinated (at home!) tomatoes, chopped white onion and sunflower oil.

Sometime last week I did something similar with my own spin on it and decided to take a few photos not just with my phone, but also with

Cake Recipe With Chocolate Flavor

Cooking has never been this easier with the introduction of the Internet. At first I thought that baking cakes was something that was hard and would take my whole day. This was short-lived as a friend of mine informed me that she was simply using the Internet to bake cakes for her family. This surprised me a lot since she was simply searching for a recipe that she thought she could manage. Once this was done, her work was simply to rush to the stores and find the ingredients that were recommended in the cake recipe that she was about to use. I thought over this and I knew it was time to try out my cooking skills. I tried this twice and the best recipe that I found to be easy was the chocolate one. I am quite certain that by following my way of cooking you would definitely prepare something that your family would enjoy. Below is how I cook my chocolate cake:

Ingredients of the cake recipe

1½ serving of butter - softenedSugar- 1¼ spoonfuls of sugarEggs - (number will vary)All-purpose flour - 2 cupsUnsweetened cocoa - 2 cupsBaking powder - 2 spoonfulsOne and a quarter servings of baking soda1½ spoonful of vanilla¾ cup of milk - buttermilk

Filling ingredients:

Pie fillings of cherry - 2 servings3-4 servings of cream that is chilled2 cups of confectioner's sugarMilk chocolate (shaved) - will help in garnishing the baked cake

Cooking tips and procedure for your cake recipe:

The first procedure of this cake recipe is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit [should be done before you even start preparing your ingredients].

Using a non-sticking paper, you should line your cake pan to ensure that the cake does not stick on the sides of the pan.

Allow the butter that has been mixed with sugar to soften before you beat it using an electric mixer. Add the eggs to the mixture but make sure that you add an egg at a time as you mix well before adding another egg. You then need to add sifted flour, baking powder, buttermilk, cocoa, baking soda as you stir well to ensure that no lumps are formed. Once your oven has reached 350 degrees Fahrenheit, as mentioned earlier, slowly add the batter into the pan and allow it to bake till there is a middle set. Ensure that the bake time is about 40-45 minutes. Use a tooth pick to determine if it is ready or not. If it comes out with some crumbs in it then you will still need to place your cake in the oven for a few more minutes.

Serving

The best way to serve is when it is cold. Cut it into three or four layers for easy storage if the cake is big enough. This will ensure convenience in keeping it in a refrigerator.

Cake Bakeries Give Tricks For Halloween Treats

Bakeries and cake shops warn that the witching hour is almost at hand. Homes are transformed from their lovely suburban colors and decor to spiderweb covered, ghost infested haunted houses. Young and old are buying or making their costumes. What to be this year? Your favorite superhero or a bunch of grapes? Oh, the possibilities are seemingly endless!

Children are ready to travel from door to door collecting sweet treats. Although their little pumpkin buckets will be filled to the brim with wrapped chocolate bars and other store bought goodies, why not add a little something extra this year and make some delicious homemade treats for the little ones in your life.

These Halloween inspired treats are sure to delight kids and adults alike, much like the sweets from the bakery stores:

Mummy Mouths:

Take a red apple, like a Macintoch or Red Delicious, and leaving the skin on, slice with an apple slicer to remove the core. Take one slice and slice it again, lengthwise. Lay one half flat on a plate, spread a layer of peanut butter, then arrange a row of marshmallows across the front. Spread a player of peanut butter on one side of the other half of the apple slice and lay that on top of the marshmallows. The end result will look like a big toothy grin!

Tombstone Pudding:

Fill a clear cup with chocolate pudding. Crush oreos and spread that on top of the pudding. Take a Nutter Butter, Vienna Cake, or any other kind of long, rounded cookie. Write RIP in icing on the top of the cookie and place that in your pudding ground! It is a chocolaty, yummy treat that everyone can enjoy.

Pumpkin Cupcakes:

There are plenty of ways to decorate your favorite kind of cupcake (we suggest pumpkin) to give it that creepy edge. You could go for an orange icing and decorate each like a jack o lantern. This would be a great activity for your child and their friends. Have the orange iced cupcakes ready to go and let them go to town drawing on faces with black icing! Or for a cool spider web effect, after icing your cupcake in your desired color, draw 4 circles with a contrasting color (like the rings of a tree). Take a toothpick and starting in the middle draw a line to the outside like the spoke of a bicycle wheel. The resulting effect will look like a web!

Bakery shop owners hope that everyone has a fun and safe Halloween with lots of sweet treats! Remember for those extra special celebrations, their stores can bake and decorate a cake to your likely with any theme - including Halloween!

Ice Cream Parlour For Your Special Ice Cream Memory

In a time when yoghurt-based and several other new kinds of ice creams are ruling the dessert scene, the variety available at Natural Ice Cream Parlour instantly reminds you of the simple and traditional ice cream. While its tag line reads Ice Cream of Juhu Scheme, today, the brand has gone way beyond the posh locale of Juhu, and is available at several places around Mumbai (and throughout India).

As soon as you step into the Ice cream outlet located at Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri (west), the huge posters of various ice cream flavours tempt you, and, may we add, confuse you, whilst taking a pick. Having said that, one of the best qualities of Natural is the fact that it truly believes in the virtue of less is more. While there is an interesting range of fruit - dry fruit- and chocolate-based ice creams, along with the basic malai flavour one, the specialty of this brand is that it doesn't have any special toppings (yet another 'in' thing in the modern-day ice creams) overpowering the original taste of the ice cream.

Its freshness keeps you asking for more from the very first bite to the last lick. Depending on the season, Natural offers an even bigger treat with its combination of mango or strawberry ice cream (only available in these two flavours), freshly cut pieces of the respective fruit, and a dollop of fresh cream. Absolutely sinful!

While the parlour can get a little crowded at times, especially during summers, you could perhaps pick up a cone or cup of ice cream (be patient, as, at times, the queue is rather long), and enjoy it over a stroll, or order it (it's free home delivery!) and have it in the comfort of your home. Take your pick - single or double scoop, fresh waffle cone or the typical one or just in a cup. The tubs are available in a quantity of half kilo. The reasonable price of the ice creams is one more reason why it can be enjoyed by anyone - from a college student to someone making big bucks.

For any reason and in every season, that dripping ice cream is always a 'hot' favourite. Everyone has a special 'ice cream memory', and a modest place, such as Natural, is sure to help you relive yours! You can find it at Natural, 21, Encore Apartments Lokhandwala Complex, Andheri (west), Mumbai a little ahead of McDonald's and Food Inn restaurant.

Maryland Crab Cakes

Maryland crab cakes are considered to be the National Food of the Preakness Stakes, the 2nd jewel of the US Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing which is a popular horse race done on the third Saturday of May, yearly. Obviously, crab cakes (CCs) are an American dish since they originated from Chesapeake Bay, Maryland and also in the city of Baltimore. These are widely-known most especially in the Mid-Atlantic States, the Gulf Coast, the Pacific Northwest, and the Northern California Coast, all of which are rich in crabbing industry. On both the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, a popular and very common ingredient for CCs is used which is called the endemic Dungeness crab. These are served on various high-end restaurants and coffee shops throughout the region.

A CC is, of course - made of crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, and milk. It also includes various sorts such as red or green pepper, yellow onion, and pink radishes, and they can be sauteed, broiled, grilled, smoked, or deep fried. Maryland CCs have two kinds - the Restaurant and the Boardwalk. The Restaurant CCs are also known as gourmet CCs for the reason that they are served without binder or filler, and are made of all-lump crab meat commonly served on a platter or on an open-faced sandwich. The Boardwalk, on the other hand, is just the common, breaded, deep-fried, and stuffed with various sorts of ingredients type.

These CCs differ in size, like that of a small cookie, or as big as a hamburger. They are also sometimes served with tartar sauce, remoulade, ketchup, or mustard. They say that any kind of meat crab will do when it comes to CCs, however, the meat of the blue crab is said to be traditionally used because it tastes the best of all. These blue crabs are natives of Chesapeake Bay, which is one of the main reasons as to why Maryland crab cakes are the best.

One might think or prefer to order a pie or a creme brulee instead of getting a CC for some reason that they just can't stand the thought of turning crab meat into cakes. What kind of taste will it bring when you mix crab meat, with bread crumbs and onions? It is indeed weird if you are to hear about it for the first time for the reason that crabs are just plainly eaten as crabs, dipped in vinegar or other spices, and most definitely not with bread crumbs. What most people do not know is that once they get a taste of it, and the next 3 or four bites, they will most likely be coming back asking for more. It has this different taste to it, that certain tanginess, that one tastes that lingers on. People who refuse to eat CCs do not have the slightest idea of what they are missing. And that is the reason as to why there is this simple write-up, to somehow serve as enlightenment to some, and a wake-up call to most.
