Diva Indoors: Food, with love: Cinnamon Cupcakes
http://divaindoors.blogspot.com/2009/10/cinnamon-cupcakes.html
Saturday, October 10, 2009. These are immensely popular with adults and kids alike. I thought I'd throw the cinnamon in instead of vanilla, betting confidently that this would keep the kids at bay. But no such luck. Make them mini bite-size cupcakes and even the ladies on permanent diets will reach for seconds, even as they protest (feebly). Makes 40 regular ones, about 70-80 minis). Butter, 2 1/2 sticks. Sugar, 2 cups. Milk, 1 1/2 cups, room temperature. Cinnamon, 1 1/2 tbsp. Wholemeal flour, 1 cup.

Diva Indoors: Food, with love: Black Bean and Corn Salad
http://divaindoors.blogspot.com/2009/08/black-bean-and-corn-salad.html
Monday, August 10, 2009. Black Bean and Corn Salad. This salad is inspired by one that a friend brought over to a potluck dinner party recently. I was wowed by the bite, colour and tanginess of it, and its fiberful promises. As I guessed at the basic ingredients and remembered only three (corn, beans, lime juice), I have ended up throwing in additional ingredients which seem to work well together. The salad would go beautifully with grilled fish. Enjoy! Black beans, 1 can, drained and rinsed. Do You Real...

Saturday, July 04, 2009. Red, White and Blue(berry) Trifle. Happy July the 4th! Made this to take to our favourite neighbours' today - all at the last minute and didn't have time for a proper photo (try and ignore the missing chunk, more would be missing in another few minutes).

Diva Indoors: Food, with love: A Ghastly To-Do List. And Halloween Cupcakes To Die For
http://divaindoors.blogspot.com/2009/10/ghoulish-to-do-list-and-halloween.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. A Ghastly To-Do List. And Halloween Cupcakes To Die For. The to-do list went on and on, even as a sense of foreboding and doubt built, as if it were The Ten Commandments. Only it outnumbered them:. Bake 75 cupcakes for three different parties - two Halloween, one a ghoulie-girlie birthday. Decorate all said cupcakes. Attend physio for a hand injury (same hand needed for baking). Find H1N1 clinic for adults. Fix punctured car tire (ended up replacing the thing). Could still nee...

Diva Indoors: Food, with love: Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
http://divaindoors.blogspot.com/2009/10/roasted-butternut-squash-and-apple-soup.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup. It was nostalgic cooking with butternut squash recently, a much-neglected activity since the early months of weaning both my children. It has literally been years since I have picked up this fruit, preferring instead to make pies, couscous, roasted veg dishes and soups with pumpkin instead. Butternut squash, 1, skinned, chopped into a few pieces. Apples, 4, skinned, cored and halved. Drizzle with lemon juice. Cinnamon, 2-3 tbsp. The sou...

For Hanukkah, Japanese Yam Latkes with Nori and Chili | Diva Indoors: Food, with love
https://divaindoors.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/for-hanukkah-japanese-yam-latkes-with-nori-and-chili
Diva Indoors: Food, with love. For Hanukkah, Japanese Yam Latkes with Nori and Chili. I found some delightfully magenta Japanese yams while foraging for seasonal goodies in the. Well-lit aisles of my local Whole Foods. Vivid on the outside, they’re crisp-white inside, and a wonderful addition to a festive tray of roast vegetables. They were just the inspiration I needed for my Asian-twist latke tradition, an annual rite which enters its 17th year (er, I started very,. And some that are Chinese-inspired.

Sunday, August 02, 2009. So glad to be home! First day back after a lovely two weeks in London on holiday. However much fun was had with family, friends, at restaurants, museums and parks, there's nothing quite like being where one's stuff. Having spent the week's grocery allowance restocking the fridge and larder today, and amid a flood warning as a monsoon stormed outside (not much difference there. Watercress, 1 bag (4 oz or 115g), washed and large stems removed. Small leek, white part chopped finely.

Here's what you need for a simple soup that's cool, sweet, refreshing, addictive and totally natural, containing no added sugar, fat or salt.
