Wheat Rava Idly - Godhuma Rava Idly

I came across this recipe while browsing on Facebook. My dad usually has a light dinner, and this came in handy one day when I had nothing left in the fridge. Here’s what I did.

Vegetable Quesadilla

This has recently become a favorite of my girls. We were watching some lunch box ideas on YouTube. I had my girls with me while I watched so they could suggest ideas for packing their lunch boxes. The deal is that they have to finish their lunches completely, without any leftovers.

Vegetable Stir Fry - Veggie filled Breakfast

Yes, this is what my husband eats on weekdays for breakfast. Initially, I found it hard to cut the vegetables and sauté them every morning while dealing with two middle-schoolers. It was a little overwhelming for me. But I felt bad not making it for him and giving him an unhealthy, carb-rich breakfast every day. So I started planning ahead, and I’ve gotten the hang of it now.

Tortilla Chips - Home made

This one of the easiest snack I have ever made.  In less than 15 minutes this chips can be made. We bought the Tortilla Land Wheat uncooked tortillas from Costco. I used these tortillas to make these chips. Here is what i did.

Oatmeal - Breakfast in a bottle!

This is another healthy breakfast recipe I tried yesterday. I got the motivation from Pavithra’s Facebook pictures. Oatmeal is my almost everyday breakfast. I usually pack one-minute oats in a container, take it to work, cook it there, and eat it with six or seven almonds.

Nowadays, after seeing so many beautiful photos of mason jar breakfast ideas online, I really wanted to try making my own mason jar breakfast. While I was filling the jar, my girls got curious and wanted to make their own breakfast bowls, too. I used an empty honey bottle to make this dish. Here’s what I did.

Granola Bars

I got the motivation to make these bars from Pavithra. I bookmarked a couple of granola bar recipes from her blog and have wanted to try them for a long time. This weekend, I somehow managed to find the time to make them. They didn’t take long to prepare. Here’s what I did.

Vegetable Idly

This is a very easy breakfast recipe I made for my girls.  If you have Idly batter ready, it will just take less than 10 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to steam the idly. Here goes the recipe.

Pizza - Using Pizza Kit

This is just a review post.  We bought this Molinaro's stone baked organic pizza kit from Costco.  I thought of writing a simple review for the product.  I have used Pillsbury pizza crust before and tried once. But this is the first time where I am using an already baked pizza crust.

Banana Almond Butter Muffin

My goal for this new year is to use much less sugar in whatever I bake. While browsing many sites, I learned that honey can be used as a substitute for sugar, along with naturally sweet fruits. I tried this muffin recipe this weekend, and it turned out nice and spongy. I took the basic banana–peanut butter recipe from allrecipes.com and adjusted the ingredients to make these muffins. Here’s the recipe.

Simple Sandwich

Happy New Year All!

This is my first post of the year, and it happens to be a simple, easy sandwich. I made it yesterday for my girls. It took less than 10 minutes to prepare and pack as an after-school snack. Here’s the recipe.
