Streeps!!!

I am enjoying a Maryl Streep movie marathon today….apart from all the daily chores etc etc that usually I keep for the Sundays….

Anyway I watched Julie and Julia in the afternoon and got inspired with all the cooking…Not sure what I would like to cook for dinner I went to the grocery store and bought random things….then I went to the vegetable market and bought random vegetables…as a matter of fact I was quite shocked with the prices of onion….mumbling to myself I came back home and started watching the next movie Sophie’s choice…..


I must say Maryl Streep is such a beautiful women…absolutely mesmerizing….and beautiful in classic sense as was Marylin Monroe….I watched her in Devil wears prada and thought she was an arrogant woman…but I guess thats how beautifully she played the character……I also have watched Bridges of Madison County and that’s when I started liking her…but in Sophie’s choice I became her fan….

So…back to my cooking…I decided to do some improvisation…..here it is….



If u have garlic bread then good. If not use some ready made garlic paste on plain bread….if you don’t have the paste then peel some garlic and mix it with the filling.

Next I prepared the filling…I use 3 medium size carrots, 4 pieces of baby corn, Some sweet corn, some peas, two tomatoes, and one onion. (This is what I had so I improvised with it…but if u have more choices of vegetables go ahead and use it. I think some spinach and capsicum would add more green)

I also used some cheese.

For preparation of the filling cut the vegetables and either grate them thick or grind them….but don’t make a paste.. Grind it light so that it looks like the vegetables are grated. You can add some green chilies if u like..

In a pan use some oil and add chopped onion and tomatoes.. add the vegetables to it and cook until the consistency of the filling is a little wet and the vegetables are soft.. now start stirring to dry the filling

Now spread the filling on bread and put some cheese on it… you can microwave this until the cheese is melted. I used a pan instead….keep the pan on simmer  and keep the bread with filling and cheese on it until the cheese is melted and the back  of the  bread is slightly crisp and brown.

I went easy on the cheese in order to respect my intensions of dieting…..but u can be as generous as u want….:)

Just to add to my improvisation delight I would like to call this recipe “Streeps” after Maryl Streep.

So here is some Hot Streeps coming my way.....



mmmmmmm Tummy Says Yummyyy
