Mango Pear and Chocolate Crumble

Just a minute more and today would have turned into non post day.

I saved my crumble from burning just about in time. My bad, I got carried away chatting with my dear hubby who is back from work after 15 days. And my sister who was feeling homesick and has extended her weekend.

So the foodies are back and my oven time has started.

It's a pain to bake for me alone. Specially when I am trying (not so much) to come back to my original self post pregnancy.

So last week to keep myself away from sweets and more sweets, I kept myself busy with window shopping for best of the Vegan and Egg-less recipes online and organizing and reorganizing my shopping list for the baking marathon this coming week.

Back to Crumble...

It was amazing! It took about half an hour to get it all set for the oven and another 25 mins for the crumble which I couldn't have enough.

Baking time at this point in my life is very crucial deciding factor. I have this cutest Little One who now has become very naughty and rolls all around in her bed. So kitchen time is only when she takes her nap.
