Mushroom Plantain wraps


Wraps - Mushroom5

About:

Plantain and mushrooms are nicely flavoured with cheese in these delectable wraps. For an easy meal, serve with colourful salad. This combo of plantain, mushroom makes an incredible taste explosion

I have always swooned over plantains with their sticky sweet, starchy flavour and texture, like a cross between a sweet potato, banana and own unique hearty, exotic flavour.

Health Benefits:
Plantains are a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium and are about 220 calories each. The sweet flavour is remarkable.

Yields-6 wraps
Preparation time- 10 minutes

Apple ring pancakes drizzled with chocolate: Guest Post for Vidya


Apple pancakes6

It was a great honour for me to do a toddler guest for my blogger friend Vidya, who blogs at Traditionally Modern Food. She has an amazing blog and love her recipes, which she brings from her childhood.

V is been supportive in my journey and she takes time to visit and leave a feedback for each of my post. Please check my post on her blog Apple Pancakes

About this recipe:

For an adorable twist on the usual pancake recipe, whip up these delicious apple ring pancakes. Slice fresh apples — any variety will work.  The taste? Well it’s a bit donut-ty (yes really, try it!), it’s soft and pillowy. They cook just like regular pancakes, and the apples soften slightly, so when you take your first bite, the apple is slightly crisp but oh so warm and juicy. There’s the perfect amount of sweetness.

These were drizzled with chocolate syrup as kids love chocolates and sliced almonds and pistachio. These are also great for a dessert if you wanted to serve them with ice cream.

Health Benefits:

Apples are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals to keep your little ones healthy. Carbohydrates provide children with the energy they need to work and play. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends carbohydrate sources that contain dietary fiber and no added sugars making apples an excellent choice. Apples contain the same amount of fiber as a bowl of bran cereal and probably appeal to your child’s taste buds a little bit more.
