I am happy to announce the next kid’s delight event. In 2015 I picked pasta for kids as the theme and last year it was cakes and cookies. And this time, the theme is “Kids friendly Soups and Stews.” The winter weather calls for soups and stews, and nothing can comfort like a warm bowl of soup. I think I am repeating it, but IMO soups and stews are the perfect way to sneak in veggies. Now bring on your kid’s friendly soups and stews. :-)

Can you eat mango lassi?

Please feel free to pick your favorite name.

Parathas are one among the popular Indian flatbreads. There are different varieties of these Parathas and I love all the veggie based Parathas. This is yet another recipe to sneak in vegetables and try out all different options. Here is the super simple broccoli paratha prepared with wheat flour and corn flour and spiced up with sambar powder. (Yeah you heard it right – sambar powder)

Sandwiches are one of the perfect lunch box recipes. Jam and bread or Peanut Butter Jelly sandwiches are my to go options on super busy days or super lazy days too. ;-) But here is a savory sandwich prepared with potatoes and carrots. The filling or the stuffing can be prepared well ahead which makes your morning super easy.

Here is a simple kid’s friendly Ghee Bhath or Ghee Rice with Veggies and Paneer – a perfect lunch box recipe. It is pretty much similar to pulav but without dried masalas or kada masala. I know it’s still summer break and instead of posting summer specials, I am posting lunch box special. As summer specials are coming next week, I thought why not prep for back to school now?

I am not going to post a salad recipe today. It’s the regular pasta recipe with cheese. (Finally huh?) I wanted to post-Thanksgiving meal recipes last year, but it didn’t happen. Thanksgiving Vegetarian recipes are super simple, and I do prepare a couple of them on day to day basis, and I don’t know what kept me from posting them on my blog. So this year I am starting my Thanksgiving meal ideas and recipes. So today I am starting with the main course recipe and my kiddos favorite – roasted veggie pasta casserole. Stay tuned for turkey free vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes.

Whenever my hubby travels, I and Vaandu venture out some local grocery stores kitchen. There is a grocery close by to our music class and after the class we both love to explore the kitchen section of it. One of my most favorite recipes is the Cold Macaroni Pasta Salad and these salads are available in certain pizza places too. Its a colorful and inviting recipe. Vaandu kept asking for it and I was skeptical to give it to him as I didn’t know what vinegars are used but I loved the fact that it is cold. No need to warm it up again and I thought it would be perfect for kiddo’s lunch box. So I thought of preparing it at home.

Welcome to the 9th day of Baking Mania. Thanks a lot for all your support. I never thought eggless bakes would become this popular. Thanks for all your comments, likes and messages.

A perfect summer cooler recipe – Rich, creamy and yummy smoothie with banana, milk loaded with vanilla essence and of course with vanilla ice-cream.

This is a simple baked broccoli recipe topped up with cheddar cheese. It is a simple but yet crunch and delicious recipe.According to vaandu (my kiddo), fruits and veggies are snacks. He doesn’t prefer eating it along with rice. I need to hide them if I have to give veggies along with rice. But touchwood, for snacks I don’t need to do it that way. :-) This baked crunchy broccoli is his all time favorite. You can bake asparagus, brussel sprouts in the same way too.
