Eggless Oats Chocolate Biscottis

Biscottis are a type of cookies baked twice and it an Italian cookie. Usually these cookies or biscuits are oblong shaped and they are well known for their crunchiness. Since these cookies are baked twice they can stay prefect for a long if they are conserved properly.For our this month's Home Baker's Challenge,i have to became the host of the month at last moment coz the host of this month couldnt able to do the guest hosting, thank god i pinged earlier to know about the status of her recipe choice then only she told that she cant do the guest hosting for this month. When i was searching for a easy bake, i thought these Italian cookies will be quite interesting as some of the members of Home baker's group would have rarely tried their hands in making biscottis.

I chosed two savoury biscottis and two sweet biscottis, coming to this eggless oats chocolate biscottis its one of my creation. Actually while chosing the biscottis recipe, i couldnt able to get this fabulous Italian cookies with wholegrains, but finally i decided to bake this crunchy super chocolaty biscottis with rolled oats. They came out extremely prefect and obviously they were quite addictive. You cant stop with one biscottis if you bake these oats chocolate biscottis at home.You can pack these biscottis to kid's snack box as these biscottis have the incredible grain 'Oats', for the second week of blogging marathon i chosed the mess free tiffin box theme and am posting this scrumptious biscottis for this week theme as they fit very much for the theme..Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.Its 1st sunday of the month and since i belong to a group of friends who blogs on sunday for the event Let's Brunch On Sundays am posting this biscottis for this event too.

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

For me after Pizza, spaghetti means Italian food. I tasted spaghetti for the first time with some cheesy creamy sauce, immediately i have fallen in love to this Italian noodles like pasta. Since am the host of this month's International Food Challenge ,a monthly event started by two wonderful food bloggers Sara and Shobana i was searching for an interesting spaghetti dish and while googling i crossed this spaghetti alla puttanesca which sounds prefect for me as this recipe goes for my favourite anchovy fish and olives.

This dish goes seriously for a very quick and easy preparation and my kids enjoyed thoroughly this tangy,fishy spaghetti.Instead of normal tomatoes, i used cherry tomatoes for making this spaghetti and those addition of cherry tomatoes makes the difference in this dish. You can skip anchovy fillets by using soya granules or tuna fish if you dont like anchovies.

Pan Roasted Baby Potatoes

I love shallow fried foods than the deep fried ones, coz shallow frying goes for less oil when compared to deep frying.But sometimes instead of shallow frying or deepfrying, i'll go for pan roasting vegetables which goes awesome as side dish with a simple comforting dish like sambhar rice or rasam rice. One among those pan roasted vegetables, here comes an easy breezy,delicious and a very tasty side dish i quickly prepared for our lunch with baby potatoes few months back.

Baby potatoes gets cook easily that the usual potatoes,obviously these tiny potatoes tastes fabulous for making this kind of quick side dishes. You dont need to chop onion or grind any special masala for making this pan roasted baby potatoes, just chilly powder and coriander powder is enough to spice them. If you love potatoes very much,you can also serve this cuties as a starter, am sure this dish is definitely a crowd pleaser.Make this quick dish and feed your family if you feel lazy to cook..Today is the first thursday of the month and its time to post for Vegan Thursdays, an vegan event running twice.
