Fresh Cherry and Chocolate Chip Scones | Eggless Baking

Cherries are everywhere - juicy, sweet, red! We had been gorging on them since the start of the season, but we really went all out a few weeks back, and decided to go cherry picking!! It was a great experience. We chose a cherry orchard that grew just one kind of cherry and was at the very end of the U-Pick radius. Arrived early morning to a cheery cherry sales crew, no crowds, and trees groaning under the weight of the cherries.

Maraschino Cherry and Chocolate Chip Loaf

Last Saturday, I baked a fragrant Maraschino Cherry and Chocolate Chip loaf. It was meant for a get together with friends, some of whom I saw after a really very long time. It was a beautiful sunny day and we ate outdoors, picnic style. With the changing weather its just great to get out in the open. The warmth of the sun is reassuring and there are so many pretty wild flowers around.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Almond Breakfast Bars | Eggless Baking

Almonds are a nutrition powerhouse. I love cooking and baking with them and my latest passion is to bake with almond butter. Last month I baked the super delicious Cinnamon Almond Raisin Twists where I used almond butter as a spread in the twists. And last summer my Almond Butter Oats Cookies were such a treat that I keep getting repeat orders for them!!

Really Smooth Fruit and Nut Chocolate Caramel Bark

Now who doesn't like chocolate!! Its a love we all share, sometimes secretly and at other times with a passion. Yes, even adults behave like little children at its mere mention! As a child, I loved Amul chocolates, the long lost Double Decker (one of the most delicious chocolates ever, it was rarely available even in my childhood, but I heard so much about it from my parents and their siblings), Five Star Bar, Fruit and Nut Bar, and Cadbury Nutties!! Now my favourite chocolates are those made from dark chocolate, the darker the better!!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

The sole muffin pan I own has been staring at me askance for several months now. For reasons I can't seem to identify, I have not baked muffins in a long time. My collection of decorative baking cups/ l on the other hand has been increasing steadily. Such pretty colours, designs, and patterns are now available in the market, I can hardly stop myself from adding them to my shopping basket! Just last month, my grocer had displayed some really attractive metallic baking cups and I just couldn't resist buying a box.
