Hi you guys! Yes, I am back. It’s been a while since I blogged and what better way to get right back in than with some delicious sugar cookies dressed up in Henna motifs. These henna cookies are in fact my first try with doing anything remotely artistic. I have never been a very artsy person. So doing these cookies was a huge deal for me because I needed to see for myself if :- 1) I would have the patience to sit through a few steps of decorating and 2) if I could finally dabble in the art of …
Whole Wheat Banana Bundt Cake #Bundtbakers
The theme for September Bundt Bakers was to Create a “Healthy Cheat, Sneak or Substitute” recipe. Hiding a vegetable in your cake, substitute apple sauce or banana instead of oil, or try out an alternative oil or flour. I chose to make the Whole Wheat Banana Bundt Cake as the healthy cheat. Not only does it not use processed flour, it has no processed anything in it. To top it’s healthy benefits, it is made with the least amount of butter. Just the right amount of fat needed to soften the gluten in the wheat. I also used a whole wheat …

Markets get flooded with local mangoes and every place has it’s unique mango. Summer is also when my family misses the mangoes. Why you ask?Well if you haven’t had an Indian Mango, you haven’t had mangoes. Sadly the Indian mangoes are mostly available here in the states only as a highly processed and liberally sugared pulp in a tin. A terrible waste, if you ask me. The Indian summers are filled with hot summer afternoons of luxurious mango …

Raspberry Mojito Bundt Cake #BundtBakers
Sun kissed beaches, glorious ocean waves and a big sip of a tropical drink. That’s how I picture a tropical vacation which is the theme for our BundtBakers this month. The theme made me think of Raspberry Mojito Bundt Cake only after I had exhausted my options and myself in making a kick ass mango coconut bundt cake. I tried. I really did. But tropical themed cakes and me don’t see eye to eye in first or the second try. Guys! I repeated the story that I had with my Tropical surprise bundt cake! As they say, third time is …
