Neha the Foodie

One of the reasons I love the summer season is because of ALL the amazing fruits! My favourite fruit to use in desserts this time of the year are peaches; theres just something about the juicy, tart flavour that screams summer. Usually, I would be making my classic peach tart and save the crumbles and crisps for apples in the winter, but this year I decided to try something new. The minute I opened the oven door to check whether it was done, I was surrounded by the mouth watering, buttery aroma of the topping and the fruity scent of the peaches and asked myself: why have I never tried this before? The crunch crisp pairs beautifully with the soft peach filling and the velvety vanilla ice cream creates the perfect hot and cold combo for a melt in your mouth dessert! Do give this a go! INGREDIENTS: Filling: 6 medium peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices 2 tbsp flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar Topping: 3/4 cup flour 1 cup oats (rolled or quick cooking) 1/4 cup light brow

After trying out many recipes for banana breads, this is the one I've stuck to! Seriously, you will not go back to any other recipe ones you try these. They are fluffy, moist, super flavourful and the chopped nuts and oats add a nice little crunch factor. And the best part: they're free of refined flour and sugar, so i wouldn't judge you for having more than one at a time!

It adds this beautiful, nutty undertone which compliments both the banana and walnut. Of course, the walnuts are optional (but then they would just

Hey guys! I know its been a while, but I'm back on this blog to share my travels, food tips and new recipes with you all. It's just been a hectic 2 years with school and all but now that I've finished my O-levels and have some extra time on my hands, I want to use this time to develop my blog as well as the new instagram page I've started which goes by the same name as this blog (@nehathefoodie). On the instagram, I will be sharing food reviews, travel logs as well as some quick recipes. I would like to make my return on the blog by sharing one of the first cookies I ever made from scratch and have been a family favourite ever since I was 8 years old. This recipe has been adapted from a children's cookbook which is actually one of the first cookbooks that got me into baking. My dad and brother can not get enough of these and the ENTIRE batch is gone in less than 24 hours! These cinnamon cookies have a lovely shortbread like texture and a slight caramel flavour from
