Breakfast Bundt Cake with Peanut Butter glaze

January 31, 2017 by Once Upon A Supper Comments are Disabled

Trust me, as I write this ‘cakey’ post, not a lick of crumb is left in my cake keeper. The last crumbs are partying in our tummies here. Please don’t judge me if I say I ate away the most. This one’s my favorite breakfast bundt cake, and I had […]

Kheer Patishapta minis, a special festive delight

January 13, 2017 by Once Upon A Supper 4 comments

This weekend is marked Makar Sankranti on my calendar. It is the Indian festival of harvest. Wiki-guru informs me a couple other things too…that this time marks the first change post winter solstice in the Sun’s celestial path as it transitions into Aquarius from Capricorn…and that this day also has […]

Delicious oatmeal and apple cookie muffins with pumpkin cream cheese

It has been quite a couple weeks without a recipe blog post for Once Upon A Supper. And no, it wasn’t a quiet time. Not even closely quiet. The past few weeks were rather supersonic for me. And when it’s that, you know it isn’t audible…although those laws of physics […]

Whole Fruit and Flavored Yogurt Lollies

August 31, 2016 by Once Upon A Supper Comments are Disabled

About a little more than half way through this month, I had blogged about Frozen Yogurt covered Strawberry Popsicle. While I personally endorse feeding nutrition rich, low calorie, healthy whole foods to my kin, I observed and realized that like most kids, my little girl J resisted treats that were wholesome […]

Easy, no-churn and eggless Strawberry Ice cream

Weekends are such spoilers! On the ones that don’t leave me with too much to-do’s, I love to laze around. And who on earth wouldn’t? After all, we work our rears-off the rest of the weekdays. With the kids on their vacation at Gramma’s for a couple weeks, I have had relaxed […]

Homemade Blueberry–Strawberry Compote and a delicious treat

August 17, 2016 by Once Upon A Supper 3 comments

Don’t you love the lustrous deep velvety magenta sauce too? Doesn’t that make this delicious Blueberry–Strawberry compote look more gorgeous? And doesn’t this all set up a festive mood like it does for us all the time? Today is Raksha Bandhan, the Indian festival that celebrates sibling love, the bother-sister […]

Tricolor Meringue rose cookies — happy independence day to my India!

August 14, 2016 by Once Upon A Supper Comments are Disabled

While it’s Indian independence day eve here, my country of origin is already waking up to a beautiful morning in the other side of the world…to celebrate their 70th independence anniversary! Yes, I am emotional today. There’s a surge of emotions when I think about it. “Jana Gana Mana” has never failed […]

Tropical Mango Dip and Ice-cream sauce

August 11, 2016 by Once Upon A Supper Comments are Disabled

This isn’t a land of the best and sweetest mangoes. One I’d left behind half-globe across is! I haven’t liked the taste of the mango here, not even in the peak of it’s season. The non-Indian imported varieties here are rather tangy, very fibrous, without much juice and with a strange […]

Eggless whole wheat mixed fruit muffins — both a trick and a treat!

August 11, 2016 by Once Upon A Supper 2 comments

As a child, when the clock would strike 5:30 pm on a weekday (then in India, Saturdays used to be a working day), my brother and I would temporarily cease doing whatever we were. We would park ourselves in the family living area on some pretext or the other and park […]

Crunchy wafers and fresh fruit Trifle — an easy, no-sweat party dessert

July 30, 2016 by Once Upon A Supper Comments are Disabled

Trifle is a custard’s vivacious English cousin. They are usually made up of beautiful and colorful layers of fruit and sponge cakes soaked in wine or juice and suspended between creamy blankets of custard. The custard is generally our good old traditional yellow and velvety Vanilla custard, cooked into a […]
