Ingredients:
  • English muffins [store bought]
  • Marinara sauce [home cooked or store bought]
  • Cut veggies [broccoli, yellow squash, sliced carrots, onions]
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Italian herbs [optional]
  • Olive oil
Method:
  1. Grease the baking sheet and keep it aside
  2. Pre-heat electric oven at 360 degree Fahrenheit
  3. Saute cut veggies in olive oil [don't over cook]
  4. Slice the muffins into half and spread them on baking tray
  5. Spread 2 tbsp marinara sauce on each muffin
  6. Add ~ 2tbsp cooked veggies
  7. Sprinkle Italian herb
  8. Top it with shredded mozzarella cheese

Notes:
  • Depending on the setting of your oven you may have to play with the temperature setting to find what works best for you. The recipe called for 350 degrees but it was 360 degrees for my oven
  • I use low fat cheese to cut down on calories

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm
