We woman work simply too much! Before your brain sirens start firing up thinking I am going to start some woman's lib speech, wait! I am not going to. Its just that for the past few days, I have been coming to terms with that more often than not. Managing a home by itself is quite a task ( Bill payments/ Rents / Snail Mails / Laundry / Cooking and Dirty plates galore! / General cleaning up after our husbands (!!) and I have not yet included Kids amidst this!). And yeah! we strive to cook healthy and balanced meal too . If this was not enough, we go and work . And if at all we feel that we don't do anything for ourselves, we are totally justified and in a split second we go and start a hobby! ( something for ourselves remember? ) only that it soon becomes another TASK!


So many of my hobbies are lying around my house - half finished! And to top it all, one cant even munch on one's fav snacks - thanks to that 'stupid days-bygone-with-all-pounds-intact-still' diet! So what do you do to break this monotonous lifestyle. First 'huff-puff' take a deep breath and then Take out that 'Puff' -Puff Pastry Shells ;-) This Dessert is going to be healthy for you and leave u totally satisfied. take it from me! I am smiling and blogging energetically right now am I not ;-)

Blueberries are one of the most richest Antioxidant carriers and Dried Blueberries tops even that carrying 4 times more than the fresh ones. I have some Dried Whole Blueberries in my freezer which I turn to when I have that itch to munch in my tongue. I wanted a change - wanted to give myself a treat and so made a dessert out of it. I have only approx measures cos I put in ingredients as took my fancy. Make it as per your discretion.

Where do i gey pastry shells from? Could we make our own? As in a substitute?

Depends on where you are from...here we get these ready made ones in local grocery stores in the freezer section along with the Pastry sheets. Making similar one is v labour intensive. As a substitute if you get phyllo dough you can try it instead. I have already made step by step phyllo dough in this link : - http://chefinyou.com/2009/05/austrian-apple-strudel/. --- DK
