Salted Caramel Butter Cookies #Creative Cookie Exchange

Life sometimes, gets too busy, and you start to feel 24 hours of the day is not sufficient... That's what, was happening to me from last week...  Early morning, I have whole day planned, with my work including my Kiddo's schedule too.... But somehow, by the end of the day I realized that, I haven't touched my work... My mom says, whenever this happens to you, that means you are not putting yourself in the priority list... Might be true.. 

Well, now I have decided to give sometime to myself, and do what I really wanted to do... So, here I am presenting you a most delicious, easy and yummy buttery cookies... which I was trying to bake for the whole week.


This recipe is adapted by Kevin and Amanda. I followed the recipe, with some minor changes... But, I absolutely loved the cookies... They are just delicious.. You can so just never stop at one...

Cooking is an art... And presenting your food is another art... Well, I believe if food in front of you doesn't look appetizing to you, then you are not going to enjoy the food... So,most of the time, I try to present the meal beautifully, which attracts the family itself to the dinner table... Every month, I bake with Bread Bakers... Every time, I try to come out of my comfort zone, and try to bake something which is new to me... This month's theme is Yeast Flat breads... Being Indian, I always make Flat Breads, as it is our staple food..... So, I decided to bake something about which I have never heard off... And google landed me to this Italian Flat bread " Focaccia". It is the best bread I ever had... So, full of flavors, and delicious... I got this recipe from All Recipes .com .... But, altered it according to my taste... #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme....

Baked Peas Kachori #Breadbakers

I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was...
