Banana Walnut Cake Bars | Eggless Baking

The other day I was reading an article about how Banana Bread is having a moment!! Well, why not - there really is nothing like a bread, bake, or cake made with ripe, sweet bananas!! This is a recipe for Cake Bars and the traditional much loved combination for Banana Cake Bars tends to be chocolate chips. Since we are clean out of those and we are working with what is in the pantry, I decide to go with an ingredient that is much underestimated but truly delicious - walnuts. Walnuts really do very well in baked goods - they give bite, texture, and a flavor to them. If you have never tried baking with walnuts, this a recipe you might want to try!!

Laal Patta Gobhi ke Parathe | Red Cabbage Flatbread

Another recipe today that aims at working with what's in the refrigerator and pantry!! I noticed today there was a small head of red cabbage left over from the last batch of vegetable shopping. I had planned to make Parathas | Indian Flatbread with it over the weekend. However, as I also made a batch of Dosa Batter, we were working our way through crispy dosas for the last few days!!

Linguine with Carrots

So its interesting what you get to do with ingredients lying in your refrigerator and pantry in these times!! Here is a pasta recipe I conjured with Linguine, a couple of carrots, an onion, garlic, and pasta sauce. I added some of my favorite no salt seasoning from Costco and a slice of American cheese to the bowl and it was a meal!!
