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 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/07/avocado-banana-bread.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/07/avocado-banana-bread.html#comments Fri, 11 Jul 2014 04:23:26 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=16992 Regular banana bread gets a boost with avocado in this recipe. I have read about using avocado as a fat replacement in baked goodies and even tried it once, only to be completely thrown away by the result. So for this recipe, I kept the fat and also added avocado and the bread tasted delicious....]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/07/avocado-banana-bread.html/feed 6 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/04/green-tomato-bread-raw-tomato-bread.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/04/green-tomato-bread-raw-tomato-bread.html#comments Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:28:08 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=15305 I got this recipe from my friend last summer when we both had a ton of tomatoes in the garden.

Cookies are certainly a kids delight and my kids are no exception. They are even bigger fans of chewy oatmeal cookies and immediately bookmarked this when I saw it in the cookbook. Oatmeal and nuts add a nice crunch to the cookies and cocoa adds a delicious...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/03/chocolate-oatmeal-cookies.html/feed 5 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/03/melon-pan-japanese-melon-bread.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/03/melon-pan-japanese-melon-bread.html#comments Tue, 25 Mar 2014 05:51:04 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=17533 For this month’s “We Knead to Bake” we are baking “Melon Pan”. This is a Japanese bread and there is no “melon” or “pan” in this bread.
