Fresh Meat over Frozen Meat

Hello guys, how is the week so far? I am having a great week and a great stay in India. Really like everyone says there is no place like home and the perks of being a food blogger is that you can work from any where in the world. So today while my kiddo is enjoying her day with "Naani", I would like to pour my thoughts and information on " Why we should prefer Fresh Meat over Frozen Meat" and later, in the article I have mentioned about "Licious", a new Online Meat Delivery Portal that I have discovered.

Grand Snacks Pickles & Thokku

by Mahalakshmi (Mahi)

The Grand Snacks and Sweets is a very famous sweets and savory shop in Chennai. They specialize in South-Indian Sweet and Snack items. It is based in Adyar, Chennai and now, they have few franchises too!

The food prepared there is very fresh and hygienic and they taste yummy!  People used to buy this when they travel abroad as it is very convenient to mix with rice and eat. It gives a comfort feeling of having a home cooked meal. I bought it too, when I traveled here :)  I was so excited to find it in grocery stores in USA. 

Cotton Soft Blueberry Muffins

Hope you guys enjoyed the Egg Pops (Click here for the recipe), so now it’s time for a small celebration. My daughter got a gift from the library today "a book and free pass to Kids Discovery Museum", though it was not a big event or any participation, still I thought to encourage her for this and made these cotton soft Blueberry Muffins for her. (I call these cotton soft as these will really melt in the mouth, so kids enjoy them a lot)

She told her Dad "Papa, I got this gift because I danced with my Teacher like this" and started singing her rhymes and dancing, Oh God these little sweet moments as so much fun!!! Just loved it :)

Egg Pops

Doesn't it feels awesome, when husband comes from office and makes tea and some yummy treat for you???? I just love being so pampered!!!!

I was not feeling well, so he came early from office and made this creative and fun snack for us and yes our kiddo loved it too, she is a super fussy eater like any other toddler, but this was super fun for her too, so gulped 3 of them down in no time, happy happy me!!!

Kasoori Egg Roast

Hello folks, how was the weekend??? I had a nice lazy weekend, didn’t do much except completing one whole season of ‘Pretty Little Liars’. Have guys seen it, if so lemme know in the comments below, whose  your favorite, not amongst the girls but Boys.

Ok, now coming back to our post, this was again an improvised dish like Vermicelli Arrabbiata (Click ‘here’ for the recipe) last time, with the  ingredients available at home. I love the flavor and aroma of Kasoori Methi so substituted curry leaves with it, and yes the outcome was Lip Smacking!!!

Vermicelli Arrabbiata

Ok this is not a new story, but most of the time I feel super lazy to cook  when I have to cook just for myself. Yes, I know almost all of us do, but  this is when our “Jugaaru” mind (is there an English word for that, let me know in the comments below) comes into picture and we end up creating something interesting. This is what happened today and I named it Vermicelli Arrabbiata!!!

by Radhika

I am a student and I am always searching for pocket-friendly restaurant and cafes. I got to know about this place from my friends who usually hangout in the south campus area. I checked out this place with my college friends. I loved it. The ambience, staff, seating, games, food-everything was really nice. Food quality and quantity both were awesome. The menu won’t burn a hole in your pocket at all. You will relish the food here with no disappointments.

Most of the cafes located in south campus are pocket friendly.

LOCATION:-

295, Ground Floor, Benito Suarez Marg, Satyaniketan, New Delhi

CUISINE:-

American, Italian

BUDGET:-

Rs. 500-1000 plus taxes for two.

SERVICE:-

Service was quick. Staff were courteous and polite.

AMBIENCE:-

Ambience was lovely. It’s a bright and colorful place. Interiors are well done, you can play games like ludo, chessboards on the dining table. Then there was a small corner where there were cushions on the floor, I chose that place to sit.
