Semolina /Rava coconut cake -Eggless & Butterless


As the kids are at their summer vacation they ask for some/more snack.What ever i buy from outside it get over instantly so a day i decided to bake this coconut cake since a pack of it was lying in my pantry.The aroma of freshly baked cake is truly awesome and tasted great with a cup of tea.

Lemon Mojito | Lemon Mint Mojito | Virgin Mojito

When we went to pondicherry in January we saw this mojito drink  in a hotel menu card but i didnot try it.Last week when i had a bunch of mint leaves i decided to try this drink to taste it.Actually i didnot have any drop to indulge since my daughter finished it all.We can use  some alcohol like rum/vodaka in it,since this is made without alcohol it is called virgin mojito.Do give a try this easy drink.

We all know the health benefits of oats and i  need not explain any about it.Two days back we had bread bhajji for evening snack which made us feel very heavy so we thought to skip dinner,then i made up my mind to cook some low calorie recipe with oats and prepared this.This was super tasty,easy and healthy with added vegetables.

Pomegranate Mint Cooler | Summer Cooler

Day by day its being hot in Chennai and we long to quench our thirst with some juices.Due to adulteration in ready made juices i prefer homemade juices now a days.My son is a great fan of a branded pomegranate juice.Whenever we go for supermarket he use to pick few tetra pack for him.One day i made him fresh juice of it with my newly bought hand blender and he relished it well saying it taste soo good then store brought.From then he use to ask for this juice frequently.Its soo simple and taste awesome.I just added few mint leaves for extra freshness omit it if you don't prefer.
