100% wholewheat bread (With easy step-wise pictures)

Buying a loaf from a bakery is always an easy job. But the happiness of baking it at home from scratch, has some special feeling attached to it, that is hard to explain in words. The aroma that spreads our home while baking goodies, surely creates some positive vibes! This can never be got from a store bought bread. And a feather on the cap would be that you are using healthy ingredients and there are no hidden preservatives in it!

I sincerely followed the recipe from VegRecipesOfIndia and it turned out so well! My dad usually does not prefer to have bread but he too loved the taste and asked for more :) This is what happiness means to me! Try out this recipe and experience the bliss as I did!

A pleasant weather and a simple yet special homemade dinner, along with your family, is surely a moment of bliss! And when it is lovingly prepared by your mom and served hot, it has to be even more special :) Yes, apart from clicking pictures and enjoying the dinner, I did nothing else for this post. It is mom's special in "My Cheerful Kitchen" this week!

Different Themed Cakes from My Cheerful Kitchen

It has been just two months since I started taking up orders for creative cakes and the response has been awesome so far! Those of whom are following my page on Facebook would be aware of the new cakes that I have come up with! I thought I'd include those in my blog too. Here you go.......

This order came from a loving daughter-in-law to her dear mother-in-law! She was very specific about the green theme and pistachios!

I enjoyed creating the cute birthday queen, her cushion, magic wand and high-heels! The base cake is eggless vanilla sponge cake with buttercream frosting and pistachios

Looking forward to an exciting year with lots more interesting cakes and recipes to try out :)

Paneer Tikka (Both oven and stove-top method included)

After purchasing a new oven, I always wanted to try some grilled dishes. But I only ended up making cakes, cakes and more cakes! Finally I got some time to try out restaurant style paneer tikka and the result was too good. I tried it in my oven but this can easily be done on stove top too. Try them out and let me know the feedback.

Strawberry Yogurt

Hello all! Wish you all a very happy New Year :)

I've been quite held up with lots of cake orders off late and hence have not been able to post recipes quite often. After a long time, I am posting a recipe that does not involve baking ;)

Let's kick start the year on a sweet note!
