Eggless Tiramisu


Tiramisu is an Italian word, which means 'Pick me up'. True to its name, this desert is worth to pick up. This is a desert for all the coffee lovers. It is basically an Italian trifle made using savoiardi/ladyfingers (Italian biscuits), coffee, mascarpone, whipped cream, zabaione ( a custard made of egg yolks, sugar and marsala wine).

Blueberry Turnovers

Turnovers are one of the fancy, yet simple to make desserts. I have posted a recipe for strawberry turnovers earlier. I used blueberry filling this time, but you can use apple, peach, cherry or anything your heart desires. You can simply play around the filling to match to your own taste.

Berry Sparkles Cocktail

Ingredients
1/2 cup of berries of your choice ( I used both black berries and raspberries)
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
Sparkling wine 
Crushed ice (about 1/4 of each glass)

Method

  • Split the berries, lemon juice and sugar between two glasses.
  • Slightly crush the berries in the bottom of the glass.
  • Add the crushed ice.
  • Slowly pour in the sparkling wine.

Home Made Healthy Pizza

Home-made pizza keeps you away from the guilt of eating something unhealthy. You can control the use of all-purpose flour, cheese etc. and also play around with your favorite toppings and seasonings. I made pizzas using all-purpose flour earlier, but this time I thought why not make it a little healthier by adding some whole wheat flour. Obviously, the texture changes a bit, but who cares, we want the best for ourselves keeping the health quotient in mind.


So, this is the result from the hot oven. Is that not yummy?? I love the cheese strings while separating the slices.
