Ullundhu vadai or medhu vadai is an important recipe that is made during the poojas. I make this medhu vadai so often but never got a chance to blog about it.

This time I made it a priority to get this into the blog and hence I chose this recipe for the alphabet U under the regional category....

Pizza, calzone what is the difference? I want to say it in a Tamil movie-style reply, what’s in the name - the filling is inside in one and the filling is out in the other. Calzones are pizza pockets in a simpler form which originated in Naples as a folded pizza. It is served as street food in Italy as it is easy to eat when compared to pizza. The calzones are typically filled in with pizza toppings, shaped like a half-moon, and then fried or baked....
One of my favorite things about this classic waffle recipe is how you can serve it in so many different ways. For a sweet breakfast, top your golden waffle with butter and good maple syrup. If you want some freshness and bright color, load it up with fresh fruit. If you’re a fan of savory breakfasts, fry up some bacon or, if you have time, make some fried chicken. For more easy breakfast recipes, try my homemade pancakes, French toast recipe, or crepes recipe....

It is a a huge pleasure and sense of accomplishment every time I complete a Month long Mega Blogging Marathon. This happens twice a year and I try not to miss any of these as this is when I really put my blogging on full gear and test my endurance.

Apple sweet potato salad has a bit of everything, and it all ends up being one big party in your mouth. Needless to say, there is a lot to love about this salad....
For the month-long April marathon’s first week theme, Traditional South Indian Wedding recipes, I am moving up to the actual wedding day recipe. For the past three days, I wrote about my favorite recipes that are made during the Maapilai Azhaippu/ Nitchyathartham. Aviyal is a side dish that utilizes a lot of vegetables. I see it as a way to use up all the leftover vegetables in the house. Also, it is a very good recipe to make for the kids as we can get many vegetables in their meals....
How to Make Banana Cream Pie Pro Tips For this Recipe You can make this pie a day ahead, served chilled and it will be delicious! If you want to make the pie 2-3 days ahead just add the bananas and whipped cream before serving. Fresh bananas will get brown and mushy in a few days so best to add before serving.

I and my husband love to garden and have a lovely backyard vegetable patch. We grow many different vegetables and love to experiment with them. This also means, in the growing season, I have a constant supply of vegetables and greens from the backyard. Last fall we planted some carrots and beets. We had an unseasonably cold front move in October with a huge Ice storm putting a halt to the harvest....

For more ways to cook pork, take a look at my recipe for Pork Loin Steaks in Creamy Shallot and Mushroom Sauce. I don’t share pork recipes often enough and it’s a real shame because we certainly enjoy them at home. Pork has a reputation of being fatty, and therefore not that good for you. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. There are plenty of lean and delicious choices when it comes to pork, and lots of ways to make it tender and flavourful....
