The glow in their eyes when they hear the word is enough and no words are needed. Initially I used store bought boxes, but once it dawned on me that it was basically the white sauce I have been making it from scratch...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/baked-macaroni-and-cheese-mac-and-cheese.html/feed 5 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/07/orzopasta-vegetable-soup.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/07/orzopasta-vegetable-soup.html#comments Sat, 28 Jul 2012 06:03:02 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=3985 Orzo is a small rice shaped pasta and is perfect for soups. Being pasta lovers, I bought this cute pasta months ago and tucked it away in the pantry. Only recently while looking for something else I saw this box and decided to make soup with it. Isn’t it always the case that we find...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/07/orzopasta-vegetable-soup.html/feed 3 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/06/zucchini-broccoli-ricotta-galette.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/06/zucchini-broccoli-ricotta-galette.html#comments Mon, 04 Jun 2012 07:00:53 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=2385 Time for the Gourmet Seven and for this month we have chosen “Pies/Tarts/Galette” from smittenkitchen. I decided to go with the galette since I did not have a tart pan and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. The pastry was flaky, tasty and the zucchini had a nice crunch to it. I also added broccoli since it gets disguised...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/06/zucchini-broccoli-ricotta-galette.html/feed 14 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/03/sesame-yogurt-pasta-salad.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/03/sesame-yogurt-pasta-salad.html#comments Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:48:50 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=1062 Hard to believe, but we are already on our second post for the Gourmet Seven and for this month we have chosen salads. It is not a regular salad, but a gourmet one . Having known only the lettuce salad with store bought dressing, I have to admit I have come a long way.

To make it healthy and to sneak in broccoli into my little one, I have also added broccoli to the filling. The parathas were flaky and the filling tasted great.
