Grilled Fish With Lemon Butter Sauce



Fish with lemon butter sauce is a combo made in heaven. One can't go wrong with the ultimate combination of fish and lemon. This grilled lemon butter fish is an awesome simple recepi which, even a bachelor could prepare them wonderfully at home. This healthy dish can be prepared in jiffy with very limited ingredients we can get in our kitchen. The fish was grilled to perfection which retains its juiciness and the lemon butter sauce has the right flavour and texture to compliment the fish. Serve with steamed vegetables or green salad. I served mine with steamed broccoli and has a hearty weekday dinner.

Plum Cobbler



This plum cobbler recepi are good to bake into individual ramekins or in a single deep baking dish, that one could indulge without feeling guilty. We are talking about fruits after all right? Minus the sugar and the flour...its plum which is packed with wholesome goodness. When i saw red ruby plums with firm flesh in the market, plum cobbler is what i'm thinking about.

Firm flesh plums holds its shaped during baking as i don't like a mushy overcooked plum in my cobbler. The lightly sweetened plums burst with beautiful red wobbling juice which you can see from the photo above. Its juicy,sweet and full of bite. Instead of baking with a simple flour topping, i decided to add cream cheese into the mixture. Its creamy,crispy on the top and soft on every bite. The biscuit like topping soaks the juices from the plum and add flavor and texture to this delicious plum cobbler.
