Sadly, no one cared for the almond butter and I was looking for ways to use it up. Spotted this recipe and it looked pretty easy enough as well. The cookies turned out great and were gone in no time .

The bread uses no oil or butter, but was still very moist. The chocolate chips and strawberry add a nice touch, but can be...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/05/sourdough-banana-muffins.html/feed 1 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2016 23:42:11 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=22235 Maintaining sourdough starter is not hard, but finding recipes that use it seems to be the hard part. When I came across this pancake recipe I was really thrilled because now I can use the starter to make pancakes and kids seem to be more interested in pancakes than with bread. This is also very...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/01/moong-flour-onion-pakoda.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/01/moong-flour-onion-pakoda.html#comments Sun, 17 Jan 2016 00:58:15 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=19102 Deep fried snacks are loved by all and this is an easy snack that can be put together with ingredients on hand. Usually we use bengal gram flour for pakoda, but I have used moong flour instead. The fritters were crispy and go perfectly as a side to sambar or rasam rice. They can also...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/01/moong-flour-onion-pakoda.html/feed 1 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/12/tofu-bajji-deep-fried-snack.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/12/tofu-bajji-deep-fried-snack.html#comments Fri, 25 Dec 2015 12:00:42 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=19867 Cold weather calls for deep fried snack. For bhajji, we prepare a simple batter and usually coat vegetables like onion, potato in it and deep fry. Boiled and sliced eggs can also be used. For a change I have used tofu here. As with any deep fried snack, this one was also welcomed and enjoyed...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/12/tofu-bajji-deep-fried-snack.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/08/sourdough-kefir-waffles.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/08/sourdough-kefir-waffles.html#comments Fri, 28 Aug 2015 03:47:59 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=20301 I have recently started experimenting kefir and sour dough. Sometimes we do end up with a ton of kefir. While looking around for recipes to use up the extra kefir, my friend passed over this recipe to me.

For a change I decided to try these biscuits and needless to say they were a total hit with kids. When using sourdough you have to plan ahead since the dough takes a while to rise.

It has a few steps to it, but is still pretty simple. Strawberries are in season now and is a perfect time to make these beauties.

When we were kids we did not bother about the slight brown patches on the banana, but my kids never touch them. Sometimes I throw them in smoothies or freeze them to make smoothies later. Apart from that, another favorite way to use overripe bananas is to make...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/02/banana-bread-with-greek-yogurt.html/feed 2
