Pineapple Mint Mojito


Pineapple Mint Mojito

 Day 3 Week 2 of BM #54 - 

 Here is a fantastic cooler appropriate for all ages on a hot summer day. This Mojito is so versatile that the ingredients can be altered as needed or as per availability.

 Instead of Pineapple Juice, Mango, Orange and/or Strawberry juices can be substituted. Spinach Juice can be added as well. Each of the above juices gives a different flavor and makes a delightful drink. Even the sodas can be adjusted/substituted as needed.

 My personal favorite happens to be mango-orange-spinach :). Thanks to Pooja for treating us to this fantastic coolant and also letting me take pictures.

 Recipe Source Pooja
Ingredients - 

 Pineapple Juice 1 cup
Lemonade 3 Cups
Ginger Ale 1 12 oz can
Lime/Lemon flavored Soda 1 12 oz can
Mint Leaves coarsely crushed few
Lemon Wedges few
Lime/Lemon Zest 1 tsp
Ice Cubes few
Pineapple Mint Mojito

 Mix all the ingredients in a pitcher and let it sit for a few minutes. Taste and adjust the flavors as preferred.

Nutella Vermicelli Kheer


Nutella Vermicelli Kheer

 Day 2 Week 2 of BM #54 - 

 This version of Nutella kheer takes the ordinary Vermicelli Kheer (Semiya Payasam) to a whole new level. I must say it is a must try for chocolate lovers.

 Also since it uses very simple ingredients and can be made in a jiffy, it is a perfect treat for students living in Dorms/Hostels.
Nutella Vermicelli Kheer

 Recipe Inspiration from here
Ingredients - 

 Milk 1 1/2 cups
Vermicelli, Roasted
Sugar 1 Tbsp (or more to taste)
Nutella 1 tsp + more if desired
Almonds and Cashews, chopped (Optional)
Nutella Vermicelli Kheer

 Method Of Preparation -
In a microwave safe bowl (which can hold atleast 4 cups), combine 1 cup of milk and roasted vermicelli. Microwave it for 3 minutes making sure the milk doesn't boil over.

 Mix well and nuke it in 30 second spurts until the vermicelli is cooked well. It takes about 6-7 minutes for the vermicelli to cook.

 Add sugar and chopped nuts to the vermicelli mixture and whisk well.

 In a separate bowl, whisk nutella and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk.

 Pour the nutella milk into the vermicelli milk and microwave it on high for another minute or two mixing it in between.

 The kheer is ready to be served hot. The kids wanted it cold, so I let it cool on the counter for a few minutes and put it in the freezer for a few minutes and served them the cold kheer.

Stewed Apples


Stewed Apples

 Day 1 Week 2 For BM #54 -

 This week, I shall showcase some easy to make recipes suitable for students in Dorms/Hostels who have limited access to various gadgets. I am assuming they have access to a refrigerator and a microwave.

 I have never been in a hostel or dorm in my life. But I used to envy my brother when he was sent to a hostel for his high school studies. Though he never faced any difficulties with the quality or quantity of food, I cannot say so about some of my cousins and friends who had a tough time getting through their time in hostels.
Stewed Apples

 I know many of them used to stealthily make Maggi using an immersion heater as that was the only type of electrical device allowed in their rooms. Now Maggi being out of shelves, I can only imagine the plight of students in such situations.

 I had the liberty to serve these stewed apples on top of Tortilla chips as well as on ice cream as a topping. Trust me - it makes an interesting variation to the mundane chips and ice cream :)

 These stewed apples can be made on stove top also except the time needed will have to be checked out. I shall update if I ever make it on stove top. This microwave preparation took me less time than taking these pictures :).
Stewed Apples

 Recipe Inspiration from here
Ingredients - 

 Apple 1 peeled, cored and chopped to bite size 
Water 1 Tbsp
Sugar 1 tsp (I felt I could have omitted the sugar as the apple was sweet by itself but was skeptical if the syrup would be the right consistency without the sugar)
Cinnamon Powder 1/4 tsp
Cornstarch 1/4 tsp
Lime/Lemon Zest as needed (Optional but recommended)
Almonds Chopped/Cashews Chopped/Raisins 1 tsp (Optional but recommended)
Stewed Apples

 Method Of Preparation -

 In a microwave safe bowl, add water, cornstarch, cinnamon powder, lime zest and sugar and mix well. (Add in the raisins if using)

 Toss the chopped apples in the mixture making sure that all the pieces are coated with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.

 Cover the bowl with a paper towel and microwave it for 2 minutes on high.

 If needed microwave it for a few more seconds if the sugar syrup is not thick enough.

 Sprinkle chopped nuts and serve it as is or 

 - On top of tortilla chips for an interesting snack.
- With ice cream to make a delightful dessert. 
- On top of oatmeal.
