What Friday evening dreams are made of for my Girls 🤍

They wanted a snack as soon as they got back from school , this was a request before leaving to school this morning 😁😅 Hence , made this Norwegian classic Custard Buns “Skoleboller”!!!
This usually is made with shredded coconut but I skipped it 😬and added strawberry drizzle because after all we all love pink 🩷
With Homemade Vanilla pastry cream in the middle this is so YUM 😋

• Check for salt and flavor , once a slight boil is seen .
• Close and cook for exactly one whistle or in medium flame for 15 mins..
•Once the steam is released you can open the lid and give a gentle mix as to not break the rice .

Gone are the days when Biriyani was made for special occasions or Festivals 😂.
Biriyani is an almost every week Affair for quite sometime now at our house 😁.
Two main reasons !
~The first reason being,
It is the easiest Yet sophisticated Dish to be made. I used to wonder when I was a kid that this Particular dish "The Biryani " took so much effort and time because it was looked as some sort of "Special" food that we get to eat only on certain days or special days...
But once I started cooking and learned all the different types of biriyanis I could ever make,I know this is the easiest you could ever do but tastes 🤤🤤🤤❤️.

~ The second reason and my favorite reason being , youd always make extras for the next day too cos it lessens one time cooking and also it tastes great the next day 😂😂❤️.
My feed has a lot of biriyanis I can say, my kids love it I love it and I see no reason whatsoever to stop making it anytime soon too !.
Ended our weekend dinner with yummy
Biryani
Monday I can wake up without a worry of lunch too❤️.

Pancakes have become like something a tradition sort of !
Every Sunday kids started looking forward for this breakfast but in sometime we the adults started feeling a little sick thinking of having a sweet breakfast every week so we took a small break,.
Now back at it ❤️😊
Made this version if cereal pancakes and my kids just can't get enough of this cuteness... !!
Really took a while but again their happiness matters !
I want to be that mother who they will remember for making yummy food !.
Because there is a special bond between the heart and tummy ❤️.
All our memories are connected with food if we come to think of something ! ❤️😊.
The pancake and snow made for a cuddly breakfast ❤️.
😋😋
