Harveen's Baking Affair

The Roys love banana bread. We really do . Love it so much that even my kids can boast of baking it on their own .  The fact that their version is loaded with chocolate chips is altogether a different story. Mama Roy tries  to stick to the healthier version though and today was no exception . The box of blueberries sitting in the refrigerator had been giving me pleading looks for the last few days . I could have listened to it earlier but in my defense can only say that  I wanted to give full justice to it . In short , I wanted a recipe which could subdue it's tartness for our taste preference but would still be a healthy appealing bake. Blueberry pie did not interest me nor was I particularly inclined towards muffins having baked them just two weeks earlier. Also, the fact that it was a healthy Monday bake meant that I had limited time  on my hands . So , imagine my relief when I came across this particular  blueberry banana bread  recipe on t...

  The winter storm may have spared us but it still is very cold here in the Carolinas. These spinach egg muffins along with a cup of tea make cold winter mornings perfect ! Not that I needed a reason to enjoy these savory treats  .

I love savory muffins as a healthy breakfast option because of their ease of preparation. Sure, you have to chop a few veggies , beat the eggs but once you pop them in the oven , you are good to take care of t...

The kids are going back to school after a extended weekend break and boy are they in for for a surprise when they come down for breakfast !! These healthy oatmeal banana muffins should cheer them up , right ? As one reader politely  remarked that the sight of any muffins can cheer kids up , I would still like to claim that my getting up early and making them as a breakfast surprise should make for some extra cheer !  Apart from making the kids happy , it is easy on the mommies too  . What with our frantic morning schedule , we need  mess free wholesome ideas that are time saving as well as being healthy for our kids. These muffins apart from the bake time are not time consuming and yield enough that you can send as part of lunch box too, not to mention saving some for later use . While they are baking, go take care of the million things we have to do to send the kids off to school and by the time the kids are seated at the breakfast table, you can serve th...
