Almost each and every “get healthy” and “weight loss” posting you study will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is actually excellent advice. But sometimes the last thing you wish to do is prepare a whole supper for yourself and your family. Sometimes all you want is to go to the drive through and get home as quickly as possible. Why shouldn’t you be able to do this from time to time and not have a bunch of guilt about slipping up on your diet regime? This is possible because plenty of the popular fast food places making the effort to make their menus healthy now. Here is how you can find healthy food at the drive through.
Visit a drive through in a place who has made it a practice to provide healthier options to people. For example, Arby’s does not serve hamburgers. Instead, a person’s options include things like roast beef and chicken sandwiches, wraps and big salads. While Wendy’s has offered hamburgers for decades, in addition they have quite a few other healthy options like salads, baked potatoes and chili. Not everything is McDonalds featuring its deep fried chicken parts as well as other terribly unhealthy items.
Common logic tells us that one sure way to get healthy and shed pounds is to by pass the drive through and to banish fast food restaurants from your thoughts. While, usually, this is a good idea, if you make smart choices, there is no reason to feel guilty for visiting a drive through one or two times a month.

Steps to make Halloween themed Chocolate cake (pops):
- After collecting all the ingredients. Prepare a 7"-8" round cake pan / tin by greasing with butter, placing a parchment/ butterpaper at the bottom(grease that too) and sprinkle the tin with flour, throw away the excess flour by tapping it upside down.
- Mix coffee with warm water and let it come to room temperature. Shift the dry ingredients- flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda, salt through a sieve in a separate bowl. Preheat the oven at 180 °C or if you are doing #nooven baking heat the vessel on the gastop (I have used salt,which I am reusing and an iron sizzler plate at the bottom of the vessel).
- Mix all the dry ingredients well after shifting so that it is mixed thoroughly. In another bowl, take butter and sugar and mix it well using an electric hand blender. When it becomes light and fluffy, add the eggs one by one and blend well.
- Then add the buttermilk, mix well.
- Now add the vanilla extract and coffee and mix well, the mixture may look curdled up but don't worry.(Scrap the bowls as and when required with a silicon spatula).
- Now mix, fold in the shifted dry ingredients in 2 or 3 parts and form a smooth batter without any lumps.
- Pour in the prepared cake tin/ pan, level and tap it for 4-5 times on the kitchen counter top to get rid of the big air bubbles and bake it in a preheated oven at 180°c or a preheated thick bottom vessel on a gastop on high flame for about 30-40 minutes or until the skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked let the cake be in the cake pan for 10-15 minutes, then take it out on a cooling rack/ or anything you have, which has perforation…..like I have used (due to my movement half my kitchen items and electric oven are not yet unpacked😀) and let it completely come to room temperature. Then wrap it with cling film and keep it in the fridge to chill before you add ganache to it.
- Chop the chocolate so that it melts easily. Heat the fresh cream for about 2 mins or till it is hot.
- Now add the chopped chocolate or chocochips and cover and let it rest for about 5 minutes then with a fork/ spoon / silicon spatula mix them till it forms a smooth mixture….. your chocolate ganache is ready….let it come to room temperature.(No need to rest the ganache for this recipe).
- In the meantime, take out the chilled cake and crumble it and add the prepared chocolate ganache and mix well and form a dough.
- Now with form any desired shape as you want with the help of your hands and chill in the fridge before covering it with fondant or chocolate (if make chocolate coated cake pops) at least for two hours or more.
- Take some colorful fondants, cornflour for dusting,little water to stick fondant part whenever required, edible food color, toothpick, cutter, rolling pin, chopping board etc and decorate your cake pops the way you like. It took me nearly 4 hours to finish of the cake pops in various designs- pumpkin, skeleton head, ghost, eyes, spider, fingers, brain and eye balls. I used Edible gel red colour to paint and tomato ketchup for the brain as I didn't have jam at home 😀. Work in an AC room.
- Could not all the making picture as hand was messed up.
- Happy Halloween!!!!!
