Simple yet delicious mashed Avocado toast is going to the 3rd day of BM 55 under the theme Kids Delight Event - Healthy Breakfast. Avocado has been our favorite since almost 4 yrs now. I usually make Guacamole with it, have also tried adding the mashed avocado to wheat flour to make roti but kids didn't like it much. Next tried adding this as a spread onto toasted bread. Kids started liking this after a while. Slowly started adding a plain omelet to the toast and it has become our family favorite now. At least twice a week Avocado Toast is been made in my kitchen. Left over guacamole also works best for the toast, if not simply add salt and lime juice to mashed avacado and spread it on the bread. Add very little chili flakes to give it a slight kick to the toast. Here goes the simple and delicious Avocado Toast for the final day of BM 55. Ingredients: Avocado 1 Bread Slices 2 Salt to taste Chili flakes 1/4 spoon (optional) Lime / Lemon Juice 1 1/2 spoon Preparation: Take a semi rip...

Today am here with a Dosa Variety, which is healthy  for kids as well as for grownups. Ragi is commonly known as Finger Millet, it can be ground and cooked into cakes, pudding, dosa and many more varieties.

Having a  healthy breakfast is a good start of the day and it is the  most important meal of the day. Today we are starting with 4th week of BM 55 and my theme for the week is Kids Delight - healthy breakfast. Don't know how  fussy your kids are but my kids very fussy in the mornings to have their breakfast. Often they have milk and cereal or a simple bread and jam  or a boiled egg for the  breakfast. Sometimes they skip everything and just have a glass of milk. While thinking about this theme thought  why not make something with fruits which they like most. Found this Muffin Recipe on You tube while searching for healthy Muffins.  My kids love cupcakes and muffins. So made these delicious  and healthy banana and blueberry muffins to kick start their day.  Blueberries and banana  are packed with full of vitamin C and fiber.  I combined these 2 fruits to make  a healthy muffin. As the summer holidays are still going on for us, I...
