White Chocolate Chip Cookies

By anshu February 4, 2014

Cookies!! Yes be it any type of cookie makes you drool. These white chocolate chip cookies are better than any store bought cookies. They are incredible with a cold glass of milk. I made my friend try and he exclaimed ” they are better than those subway cookies!“ Well I can be self flattering many a times but if you want the truth bake them today. Your kids will end up loving you more 🙂

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. (Read Oven Temperature and Conversion).

2. Mix together the dry ingredients and keep aside.

3. Cream together the butter and shortening and both types of sugar.

4. Add eggs and vanilla extract to make everything creamy. I used a hand blender, you can even use your hand.

5. Add the dry ingredients and combine well. Throw in chocolate chips and form a evenly distributed dough.

6. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper place the cookie dough rolled into balls. You can do it with hand or with an ice cream scooper. Press the cookie balls slightly from top. Keep a distance of two inches from each other for they will melt and spread.

7. Bake them in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden brown around the edges.

8. Cool them for five minutes on the cookie sheet then cool them completely on a wire rack before digging in.

Mexican Casserole Eggs | Huevos en Cazuela

By anshu January 8, 2014

I tried this recipe in Mexico in a very popular restaurant over a breakfast rendezvous with my friend Teresa. Oh! by the way its her birthday today! This blog is dedicated to her. 🙂 Coming back to the topic, the recipe was simple yet fantastic. Although I am not a huge fan of tortillas, but they tasted so good with them. I decided to make them at home using my wisdom (yeah I am also laughing while writing this :P). It has a Mexican blend of Chili Poblano, Queso Panela,White Onions and Mushrooms. Oh these are known as Casserole Eggs and in Spanish Huevos en Cazuela. Usually, casserole recipes are oven made but I made my version of this recipe on stove top which is equally good. If you can lay your hands on Chili Poblano give it a try today!

Directions:

1. Wash, roast and peel Chili Poblano and cut into bite size pieces. (Learn How to Roast and Peel Chili Poblano?) Set aside.

2. In a wok pour little oil and sauté onion still they become translucent . Add roasted pieces of chili poblano.

3. After sautéing chili add mushrooms and black olives, both drained. If using fresh mushrooms, you can saute them a little longer till they release their water. I preferred to use canned mushrooms and olives. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper.

4. Break in the eggs and mix them evenly with rest of the sauteed vegetables.

5. If you like spicy food, you can even sprinkle some red chili flakes. Lastly, add cubed queso panela or paneer and mix well.

Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with toasted tortillas or bread.
