What’s cooking today?

Hi Ladies,


Coming up with meals on a daily basis, and sometimes thrice a day can be a challenging task. Trying to appease the palate of all the members of the family while inculcating nutritious value in the meal can make it even more so! So I thought it might be useful and fun to know what’s on everybody else’s table tonight. Could be anything from exotic saffron-laced curried to the humble and oh-so-comforting dal. So aprons on and spoons up ladies (or gentlemen!), share with us what is steaming away in your kitchen today.


I will start with my dishes for the day.

First meal
My morning cuppa of sweet, wonderful, refreshing tea..without it I go -absolutely! A cup of fruits-blueberries, strawberries, cherries, orange & banana.

Lunch
Rice paper rolls stuffed with Japanese rice, mung bean vermicelli, basil and mint leaves. Accompanied by a Vietnamese dipping sauce.
(Wanted a light one as I had plans for a heavy dinner)

Dinner
Baked penne with sausages and beans in a mushroom sauce. It is baking away as I write…will serve it with some Parmigiano Reggiano when ready.

A very carb-rich day, will have to come up something less calorie heavy tomorrow. Hope I can borrow some ideas from you all ladies!

This is what I had today...here I go

Breakfast
Tea and Parle-G biscuits (a whole pack of e'm!)

Lunch
Wheat noodles with satay sauce

Dinner
Palak paneer, wholemeal roti, plain steamed rice with chilled raita-yummy! Followed by avocado, orange and kiwi. I can barely move now

Come on ladies! Share what you all prepare on a daily basis. It would make good reading for fellow ILs
