2015, what a year. I finished my 8 months course in Child care, then started working in a kindergarden now.This year started with many more hurdles and some more appreciations even in this virtual world aka blogging. Though this year was bit tough for me, i didnt stop my blogging and kept my work constantly atleast by posting thrice a week. Thanks to blogging marathon family, this monthly marathon keeps my blog alive and its the only event i try to participate without any fail.However i couldnt resist to participate even in some Baking event as baking is very close to my heart.

I successfully finished two whole month's of blogging marathon with 26 days of Fire up your oven with 26 different baked goodies and 26 days of Buffet on table with different themes for 5 weeks.

Not to forget, i got featured in one of the famous tamil magazine Kumudam in their supplement with my briyani recipes, a page about my blog and some soup recipes along with few more bloggers.

An another tamil magazine Malligai Magal featured 25 winter recipes in their supplement. Yea, this year was somehow very productive for me.

My cooking resolution of 2016 is going to be some interesting and definitely healthiest foods, i have few things in my mind, fingers crossed now.

Once again i wish you a Prosperous and Healthy new year!!!

Eggless Stained Glass Cookies

One more addition to my cookies collection is this Eggless and damn cute stained glass cookies, this cookies are in my to do list since a long. Everytime i want to bake some, either i finish baking with a different cookie or my time schedule will get messed up. But this time when i planned something for a christmas theme cookies, the first thing came to my mind is this stained glass cookies. As usual these cookies are egg free but buttery, dangerously addictive cookies. None can resist to this beauties and am sure kids will go crazy if they saw this ultimate cookies in their snack box or else in a party table. Seriously this cookies asks for less efforts and the final result will definitely makes you super happy.

Christmas Meringue Trees

                                       Merry Christmas Wishes to All !!!

Meringue, i came to know about this kind of desserts or confections once i landed France, actually while my H took me to a walk, i was intrigued to see some whitish fluffy cuties sitting in our street corner Bakery. Immediately  i asked for it and H bought it for me,instantly i have completely fallen in love with this egg whites based crispy meringue. They just melt in mouth, later i came to know that we can make them easily at home. I tried my hands in making meringues at home and failed twice. Obviously i never want to give a try when its comes to meringue, days goes on and as a blogger i learned so many techniques regarding baking. Again i tried meringues at home, its was big success, you can take a look at my Meringue Mushrooms which is used for decorating this Yule log cake. But my today's post is quite a different from this meringue mushrooms, i followed Swiss meringue which makes some beautiful meringue.

Sprinkles Crusted Eggless Christmas Pinwheel Cookies

Christmas, this festival is one of the favourite festival we usually celebrate with our family and friends. I have couple of xmas based bakes in my space though am yet to try many. Christmas bakes are really special, colourful which brings the festive mood since most of the baking goodies are prepared with seasonal products, dry fruits and spices. Just love Christmas, if you have a chance to visit Paris during this xmas time, you will thoroughly enjoy the festival mood which this city brings to you with their tremendous lightings and decorations.This is also one of the reason i like this festival. Not to forget the variety of christmas themed chocolates we get easily during this festival time.My today's post goes for a buttery colourful Christmas themed cookies baked out with coloured cookie doughs which i simply crusted with colourful and catchy sugar sprinkles.
