This dish might be a new one many of you guys...as not many might know that we do get chicken sausage and that too without any casings (which is usually pork casing). Not many stores carry this tho!

Quinoa and mixed vegetable Upma

Reminder: Please remember to send in your Kid friendly dishes to Kid's Delight - What Kids love...for Summer! ENDS July 15th!  Like I said before on my quinoa blogs..I fell in love with this grain, because of its closeness in taste to rice.

These bake quickly and so the kid's don't have to wait...

In case I need murukku quick within an hour or so, this really comes handy, as it is pre-mixed, I just have to make them. In the same way cake mix, pancake mix or cookie...

Mango Smoothie with different juices

During summer months, its natural to feel to eat light and healthy. I guess it because of the sun and the amount of sun light we absorb during the day. If I eat anything heavy, I feel so uncomfortable and uneasy. That's why I like easy to put together stuff, so that I don't have to spend much time in the kitchen. For this reason I love the semi-homemade dishes! One of our family favorite is juice, in any form, but the most favorite is the one...

Ya I know that's a long name, but what else could I name it?...It does have all the said ingredients and the name should reflect what the product consists of, so that's why the long name :).
