Brinjal Chutney - Version 1
In my home, for most of the breakfast varieties we have coconut chutney. Even if we have sambar also my family members will ask for coconut chutney. Its like we have addicted to this coconut chutney & too much of coconut is damaging our health.
So I have started replacing coconut chutney slowly... and that's why I cooked brinjal chutney today & recipe is here. Give a try with this recipe & I'm sure you'll like it.

Mint Chutney Sandwich - Kids Evening Snack Combo
Whenever I replace a healthy snack instead of junk to school, my daughter brings it back untouched. So I ended up sending junk snack with heavy heart all the time. Yesterday chumma I tried this combo for evening snack & it worked great. So I have secretly decided to try this combo with some variation for school snack.
Mint Chutney Sandwich + Papaya + Butter Milk --------> Kid's Snack
Hope this works.....:-)

Peanut and Vegetable - Plain Fresh Salad
My dad is very energetic, active, fun loving & self motivated person. He is 16 at heart & 35 in looks but actually he is 65. He always carries that small curve in his lips & loves to see others happy.
No cholesterol, no BP, no diabetic.... Touch wood...but 20 days back he got mild fix & got admitted in hospital for angiogram. Luckily the report came with minimum blocks & now he is under medication.
That one day gave us a great shock. Me, my brother & mom couldn't take it up.....by god's grace...my dad is alright now.
One thing I learnt from this is that, "what you eat is what you will be.....". My dad is a non-veg person. No food without non veg style of living is what my dad had until yesterday but now everything changed towards vegetables, fruits, fibre....etc etc.
Even though its difficult.... Now my dad is ready to compromise anything for his loving wife, kids, grandkids..
Thanks Dad & we love u so much.....:-)
Friends, do give importance & eat healthy food so that we can stay healthy and show our love & support our loved ones.

Beetroot rice is one simple, easy to make & a healthy variety. Here comes my recipe of it.

Fruit Salad With White Chocolate
" The best way to prevent cancer is to take atleast a cup of fruits & vegetables daily" - I read this somewhere in the net. Its very true that fruits & vegetables plays major role in preventing threatening diseases. And the best time to eat fruits is before food & best way is to eat it as a fruit.
So make sure that you & your family takes enough fruits & vegetables daily.
The below mentioned method of making salad, works well to make my daughter eat fruits so I follow this. Do follow this style & give a try with your kid too & become a happy mommy. :-)
