A healthy twist on Cheese stuffed tortillas

I had posted a recipe to "Cheese stuffed Tortillas" earlier. Last night I gave it a twist and it worked like a charm.

I had various kinds of purees sitting in the ice cube tray in the freezer so I thawed out a couple of cubes each of - Avacado, Cauliflower and Sweet Potato. I added these into the dry flour mixture and cut down on the water (since the purees provide the combining power anyways)

I felt the sweet potato puree made the rotis softer and fluffier. I was pretty happy with the result since my kiddo has, till date, NEVER eaten cauliflower, but yesterday, she couldn't tell the difference !

On a side note, if you hate getting flour under your finger nails and if you'd like to make Rotis at home more often, buy a food processor with a flour kneader attachment. I have one and it makes my life so much better !!

Finally you could cut the tortillas into smaller pie slices and serve as an appetizer !

Quick crockpot Butternut Squash Soup

Its been a while since I posted recipes here. The last two weeks into Christmas and New Year's were busy and with the Grandparents gone back to India, finding blogging time has become difficult. However, Bahaar's been loving most of the food I've been making so I've been simply 'putting off' the postings .. call me lazy ! Here's a recipe I made just last week. I got a huge box of cubed butternut squash from BJs. (I find cubing squash myself very difficult so I usually tend to avoid cooking it). Bahaar loved this soup

1 Butternut Squash cubed

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

Pepper to taste (I ditched the salt since the canned chicken soup I think, has more than enough !!)

2-3 sprigs fresh Thyme (or any other fresh herb you may have on hand)

Directions: Dump this all in the crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours until the squash is tender. Puree in a blender and serve hot !
