‘Get back to blogging’- That’s what I have been telling myself for a long long time. Easier said than done though! It has taken me the longest time to get back to my little space here. A lot has changed since I last shared my thoughts on My Foodcourt – giving up my full time job being the most significant of those changes. A few early health scares made me take this very important decision of my life. From a full time working mother, I have now gone on to become a budding enterprenuer! Early in 2014 I started my…

We Knead to Bake #1 Pull Apart Bread
It’s been so long since a post appeared here on My Foodcourt. I have my hands full with many many different things and somehow the posts took a backseat. As far as the cooking is concerned, it has been exactly the opposite. The family has been relishing food from all over the globe! A pasta machine has been bought and we imagined ourselves sitting in a quaint little town in Italy while enjoying and savouring every bite of it 🙂 One of the things I had decided (no resolution ) was to bake as many breads as possible.I even spent…
Petite Lemon Meringue Pies

Incidentally, I won this book (some time back) at a…
A Savory Sweet Punch- Golden Onion Corn Quiche

This month Ria challenged us to a Savory Sweet Punch- Golden onion Quiche. This month’s challenge seemed quite simple and I had all the ingredients. The moment I saw it I had decided to do it right away instead of the usual last minute rush! I made the Quiche –photographed it- wrote a post about it… all in my mind! 🙂 Everyday I kept thinking there’s…
Filled Cupcakes for the sweet punch
“Mama I’m hungry, I want something to eat” and a list of specifications follows for ’something’, the most prominent being ‘something different’. I am sure every mother hears this dialogue several times a day. Many times my son has specific hunger pangs;’ I am hungry for chocolate or hungry for oranges or raisins or some favorite snack’ Like every mother I find it challenging to come out with ideas to satiate the ever hungry boy! This month’s Sweet Punchmade my life easier at least for a while; ‘Devils food cupcakes with Vanilla cream filling’ to get me through a few…
