Hello friends, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and 'love' is a feeling that is shared not only between a husband and wife but also amongst family members. My parents have always been role models for me and I think their love is an inspiration for me and Naitik. So on this special day, let's give our parents a Valentine's Day treat with some yummy 'love' recipes. |
Since I do not have too much time on my hands these days due to taking care of the baby, I have decided to make one of the easiest and simplest recipes for my parents, a pizza and I will give it my own touch of love by making a heart shaped pizza. You too can impress your parents with a heart shaped pizza, especially your mom who always scolds you for not being interested in cooking. Even little kids can help by using a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from bread slices and make mini pizzas. When Naitik comes back from work, I will surprise him with his favourite food. You can also help your dad surprise the special woman in your lives, your mom with some delicious home cooked food.
And since it's Valentine's Day, I will also make sure that I make something special for my saasuma-sasurji as well as Bhabhima-Daddaji. I will bake them a nice chocolate dessert. You too can make some nice sweet dishes as a treat for your parents, or get experimental and try out different desserts.
Choconana Recipe
Ingredients
2 ripe but firm bananas
6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped, or semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup granola, chopped walnuts, or sprinkles (optional)

Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil or parchment paper. Cut the bananas in half and insert an ice cream stick into each half, as shown. Place them on the baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate with the oil in a microwave proof container in the microwave (check it every 30 seconds) or in a half-full pan of simmering water (about 2 minutes). Stir until smooth.Roll each banana half in the chocolate, then quickly sprinkle with your topping (if using). Freeze until the chocolate sets, 30 minutes. Serve or freeze in an airtight container for up to a week.
