Cranberry & Ginger Fizz

When we eat out, I like to order for mocktails which are brightly coloured, and to my luck they taste good. I like cranberry based drinks most of the time. I was having a party at home a couple of months back and was looking online for some recipes for mocktails, especially something which had cranberry in it. I found this one which had ginger ale in it. Mr. Peter likes ginger & mint, so I  made a few changes to that original recipe and it turned out really well. All our guests enjoyed it and I've made it a couple of times already.

This is a perfect drink during the summer time. When the temperatures are rising and it's really getting hot, it's essential that one stays hydrated all the time. It helps in cooling down. You can fix it up really quick and it's very easy to prepare.

Try this such summer drink which not only looks good but tastes great and is absolutely refreshing. 

Ingredients:

1 cup cranberry juice

1 cup ginger ale

1/2 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon honey

Fresh ginger juliennes

Fresh mint leaves

Method:

In a jug, mix the cranberry juice, orange juice, honey, ginger juliennes and crushed mint leaves. Mix it really well till everything is incorporated. Then mix in the ginger ale and pour in glasses. Serve with ice if you like it very chilled.  Garnish with a few mint leaves. 

Enjoy and stay cool !!!!

Crunchy Veggie salad with a thousand island dressing

A salad is one such dish which consists of small pieces of food mixed with a sauce. It may contain virtually any type of ready to eat food. What I like about salads is that we can be so creative with the ingredients which is based around a wide variety of foods like vegetables, fruits, cooked meat, eggs, nuts and leafy greens. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types include Mexican bean salad, tuna salad, Lebanese fattoush, Greek salad, Thai Raw Papaya Salad and Japanese somen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; well-known types include Ranch, Thousand Island, Caesar and French vinaigrette. Salads can be served at any point during a meal such as an appetiser or side dish or as a main course. Food historians tell us salads (generally defined as mixed green...

Christmas Fruit Cake....and that's what makes it Christmas!!!!

♪ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♪ Come December, and that's the song that goes on in my mind. Probably the most celebrated holiday in the world, our modern Christmas is a product of hundreds of years of both secular and religious traditions from around the globe. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is generally celebrated on December 25th by most of the nations. Christmas celebration starts almost a month before.

Finally the actual Christmas day is celebrated by wearing new clothes and going to church, bursting fireworks and having a great feast with family. ...

Triple Chocolate mousse

They say that no matter how old you grow, being with your siblings instantly takes you back to childhood. For me, growing up with my younger brother was one of the greatest adventures of my life. We laughed at the silliest things, fought endlessly over the TV remote, teamed up in countless rounds of Contra and Mario, rewatched our favorite movies until we knew every line, and savored delicious meals on our trips to the Gulf. He was, in fact, my very first “Foodie Buddy.” Though the years have passed and life has carried us to different continents, food remains our bond. Even today, amidst the hustle and bustle, our conversations often circle back to what we loved eating as kids and what delights us now. Back then, birthdays were simple—no grand cakes or parties, and we never felt the need. But today, we embrace every occasion with joy, no matter the distance. Whether near or far, we celebrate each other’s milestones with heartfelt gestures. When my brother celebrated his milestone birt...
