Green Peppermint Chocolate Pie

Hi everyone,

So what if, St. Patrick's Day is Over, you can still enjoy this amazing recipe of Chocolate Pie. Chocolate Pie is one of the favorite dessert recipe by many of us. This recipe is really simple and taste just like our grandmom's favorite chocolate Pie.

The recipe shared over here is St. Patrick's inspired and is green in color! As the requirement of the festive season. However if you want you can exclude the green food color and peppermint oil to have the original chocolate pie. I suggest to keep the peppermint oil, as it gives that extra kick to the recipe which taste amazing with the chocolate. 

I hope you will like this recipe. If you have any suggestions or feedback; please write it to me. In fact you can share your stories too that how did you celebrate your Patrick's Day??

If we talk about Tilapia fish, it is easily available in the market, it’s cheap and best thing it doesn’t any inches to your waist line. The most important thing while cooking healthy food is the way you are cooking it. Steamed or boiled food is always good for your body, even grilled and slightly sauté food is good if you use less oil or oil which have less trans-fat. In fact, olive oil is considered to be the best oil for cooking healthy food other oils like canola, sunflower and grape-seed oil etc. can also be considered. 

Fish are really quick to cook and almost all fish recipes are prepared within 15 minutes or so. There are plenty of easy recipes of fish that you can try in fact shrimps, scallops and other seafood are also easy and quick to make. Whenever I am in hurry, then I try to make fish or any simple seafood recipe like shrimps and pasta etc. Today’s recipe is perfect for those who are health conscious and count their calories.

Easy Cupcake Recipe for International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is on 8th March. It is an event, which recognizes the achievements of women worldwide and to appreciate the beauty of feminism and courage. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate this day in fact in some countries, International Women’s Day is an official holiday, coincidentally this time international women’s day is on Saturday means you can relax, enjoy your day with your loved ones, do some charity and eat some cupcakes.


In USA, there are some selected bars and restaurants which offer Free Cupcakes for women. There are plenty of small and big organizations which conduct cupcake making competition. With this thought process, I am making cupcakes in three colors and some few easy recipes to go along with these cupcakes. Colors that represents Women’s day are White, Green and Purple.

White is for the Purity; Green is for Hope and Purple is for Justice. So, I will be baking three types of cupcakes in three different colors i.e. white, green and purple. Baking cupcakes is an easy task you can make cupcakes with the traditional method of baking or simply get a box of cake mixture. The tricky part is the icing and mixing the color. In this, white is the simple vanilla icing and later you can mix green and purple color into the same icing.

Nevertheless, I am using the cake box mix to make the cupcakes, here I not stressing into traditional baking or different style of baking but to celebrate the event and to live the motive behind the cupcakes i.e. Women’s Day. Although I am not following the instructions completely given on that cake mix box and have made changes to make the cupcakes more succulent and spongy which will make them more tasty.

Last Year’s 5 Best Chicken Recipes Worth a Try!

Sitting idle on a lazy afternoon when this thought popped, what all I did last year? How many easy recipes I have made so far? I checked for the chicken recipes to begin with and jotted down the best 5 recipes for the year. The recipes which were simple, easy and quick to make but still are super scrumptious and whole family’s favorite.


The recipes that I am going to share are the most amazing recipes and I have made them plenty of times at my place. Kids like these recipes and even the adults, few of the recipes are party favorite. Call your friends over dinner, make these simple recipes and still woo them with your culinary talents.

Chicken recipes are one of the commonly served recipes when it comes for dinner ideas or dinner recipes. However, we always look for some recipes which are easy to make because by the time of dinner you are so tired that you look for easy alternatives and if you are a working woman, single parent, student then you can understand how difficult it is to manage kitchen and work together. And eating out every day is not possible firstly because it’s not healthy and secondly our pocket doesn’t allow us to spend big bucks each day on food. So what we can do? Mostly people opt for slow cooker recipes, I fall in the same category too. It’s easy and simple i.e. just put the ingredients and turn on the device and let it cook by its own. Secondly, opt for recipes which are semi-cooked or pre-cooked, mostly comes in small packages but they are not scrumptious at all. It’s just good when you are hungry, don’t know what to do? Put it inside the hot water or cook it in microwave and dig in. and lastly opt for easy and simple cooking, which saves time and it’s tasty too!

So, let’s not waste any time and dig into the 5 wonderful chicken recipes that you can try in any season, any time whether its dinner or lunch.
