Over the weekend, my little pampered space turned two. Two years back, I created this blog and kept private for two weeks before opening my doors to everyone. My intention was to keep records of my family valuable recipes and to share with my family members and close friends. But, I didn't expected any huge number of readership who will be interested what I cook- eat or even dislike.
I was not the one who discovered the kitchen after my marriage. Lucky husband didn't face any in toxic/ inedible food in his plate.
Blogging world opened a wide exposure in different cuisine, photography skills and few web features. I learn and still learning many...
The journey is so far pleasant, smooth and joyful.
I thank each and everyone for your suggestions, valuable comments and support. It would have been never possible without your encouragements to reach such milestone!
After hitting the publish button, this time I will be more existed to read your comments, tell me what you didn't liked so far, or enjoyed, which category of recipe you wish in future... Bad or Good I am bold enough to go through..... It will help me to keep this place interesting , useful to you.
To celebrate this occasion let's see how easy it is this treat!
If u prefer not to cover the fruits and nuts balls with chocolate. Lucky you are no need to cook at all!
Dry fruits and Nuts Balls
Yield: 12 balls
No cooking required
Dates: 1/2 cup
Golden Raisins:1/2 cup
Almond, pecans, walnuts chopped (use whatever u like): 3/4 cup
Molasses: 2 tbsp
Method:
Chop finely dates and raisins. Toss the chopped nuts and add the molasses. Mix well and make balls.
For chocolate lovers
Wax paper: to keep the chocolate covered balls.
Dark chocolate (preferably 70% or more): 3.5 ounces - chopped
Heavy cream: 2 tbsp
In microwave safe bowl, add the cream and chocolate. Keep 1 min- 30 seconds, every 30 seconds- take out and give a stir.
Drop the balls with a spoon coat the balls with ganache. Take out and keep in wax paper and let it dry at least 1 hour in the fridge.
This would be a perfect holiday gift !
I am entering this chocolate covered balls to MEC- Festive foods event created by Srivalli and hosted in my place.
Hurry up I am waiting for your lovely treats.....
Sending to Priyanka who came up with Its time to Jingle Again
