Veg Chop suey with Noodles

The other day, they served Veg chop suey noodles at snacks after a big fancy meeting at work. That was my first time tasting these… yeah, needless to say, am not a fan of Chinese food, and rarely even try them. But these noodles were served in a different fashion – noodles topped with curry and vegetables, and it wasn’t even tasty. All of the different elements in the dish were bland but the cook in me saw potential in the dish. My interest was piqued and I HAD to try this dish!

And hence the attempt to recreate my own version of Veg Chop Suey noodles…

A soup for the wintery evenings…

Hyderabad is pretty cold these days, and the evenings are spent with me sitting in the balcony with my laptop, teeth chattering all the time... and still enjoying the chilly weather. [Did I mention that Winter is my favorite time of the year?]
But then, there is nothing better than a nice bowlful of soup, no? At all times, no? With or without bread, no? :-)
Here it is... my first soup of the season.

I picked the basic idea of making a soup with sweet potato and cauliflowers from Manifest Vegan's soup, but I didn't follow the same recipe. I wanted something that was quick and easy.

Lemon Cranberry Shortbread cookies

Ever since I started getting full cream milk, and making my own butter the house is full of it. Cream and butter, that is. And we are now using butter in everything we’d otherwise use ghee in, but that is still not a good enough demand for our excess supply! :) So I guess, all my recipes henceforth will be using white butter, and I have a feeling am slowly turning into my mother… but that’s a long story for another day! :)

These Lemon Cranberry Shortbread cookies are the first to use white butter… and you can feel the taste of butter through these.

Dark Chocolate Oatmeal… yummm!

Look at this… :-D

Before I get on to the recipe, I have a question - Who likes oatmeal? :) No one?

My next question, who doesn’t like chocolate? The warm, gooey, drippy chocolate? Do I see some hands going up?Yeah, I thought so? :)

And how many of us know that oatmeal is healthy, but struggle with the idea of having it for breakfast ? Well, that’s me. :)
