Pizza...

Well friends this is not a pizza made from scratch. All of a sudden, my girls wanted to bake cake. I had nothing in my pantry. They started crying immediately. I went to the local grocery store and bought the pillsbury pizza dough and I asked them to spread the dough in a cookie sheet, spread the sauce, arrange the toppings, and asked them to add the cheese too. Of course I helped them put it in the oven. The final result was really amazing and the crust was very soft and it was really delicious.Lol.. my girls were very happy and they had couple of pieces too.. Here I am just sharing the toppings and the quantity of cheese I used...

Ingredients:-

1. Pillburry Pizza Dough - 1 roll (store Bought)
2. Cheeze - 3/4 cup ( I used the shredded mexican blend)
3. Pineapple - 1/4 cup
4. Black Olives - 1/4 cup
5. Pasta Sauce - 3 tbsp
   

Pre heat Oven for 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with oil. Roll the pizza dough, spread the pasta sauce, arrange the toppings accordingly, spread the cheese, bake it in the oven for 13 mts or till the edges become brown. Enjoy.. Since I didn't want to discourage my girls to try. I am really happy that my girls tried something and it came out really well.

Happy Mothers Day

I got this message as a forwarded email today. Instead of putting a greeting card, I thought, this message would suit better... Here goes the message

Why mother is so special:


When I came home in the rain,

Brother asked why don't you take an umbrella.

Sister advised, Why didn't you wait till rain stopped.

Father angrily warned, only after getting cold, you will realize.

But Mother, while drying my hair, said, stupid rain! Couldn't it wait, till my child come home?

That's MOM....


HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FRIENDS!!!!

Raita with some seasoning

Well we all make raita with onion or with cucumber. We commonly call it Thayir pachadi. I make cucmber thayir pachadi very often during this summer season. We had a chance to eat cucumber thayir pachadi with a little twist, couple of months back. We had a trip to Eshwari Akka's house and she made this pachadi that time. It was really tasty and i wanted to try this today as a side dish for bisibelebath.

Ingredients:-

1. cucumber - 1/2 (or 1 according to the required quantiy)
2. Onion - 1/2 (chop it finely) (optional)
3. Yogurt - 1 cup (according to the req. quantity)
4. salt to taste
5. Rosemary - 1/2 (i used fresh rosemary leaves)
6. Basil - 1 leaf

Shred the cucumber, chop the onion. Take 1/4th quantity of cucumber, add rosemary, basil leaf in a mixie and grind it finely. You will get a light green color paste. Now add it to the chopped onion, add the yogurt and required amount of salt. Mix it well. Serve it with any variety rice. It will definitely be refreshing. Usually people used to season the thayir pachadi which i won't do it. If you want, you can season it with mustard seeds.
