My Health Drink to Make Me Feel Special

2010-08-11T13:43:00.000+05:30

Given a choice I prefer milk to any other hot beverages all the time. I keep various add on to make different flavors for kids.And I have all of them lined up in my kitchen racks to please my kids. But when it comes to myself, its either plain milk or badam milk.
Again as suggested by a close friend who is also a health freak I bought this Women's Horlicks', a product of GSK (Glaxo Smith Kline) and gave it a try.

Since then I am hooked to this lovely product which comes in a couple of flavors and is priced just right.
What better than getting taste and health in a single product. I love to indulge in Women's Horlicks as and when I find myself low in energy.

Thanks GSK for making us feel extra special.

How to Make Authentic Sambhar and Rasam

2010-08-11T13:25:00.000+05:30

When it comes to make a perfect Sambhar or Rasam, I always rely on my homemade powders. The recipe for which has been handed over to me by my mother-in-law.
On suggestion of a friend who is a working mother and finds it difficult to make these powders at home, I bought the MTR Sambhar and Rasam powder.
The first day when I made my meal using these powder, my son commented and enquired whether I have bought hotel Sambhar!
Everyone in the family loved the Sambhar and had a good feast that day.

From that day onwards I always keep these authentic Sambhar and Rasam powder from MTR in my kitchen shelf. I use them alternately with my homemade powders for a distict and flavorful aromas.
Thanks MTR for introducing these authentic Sambhar & Rasam powder and make our cooking extra special.

Three Cheers to Curds!

Curd or Yogurt being one of my favorites, is a permanent feature on my dinning table.Me and my hubby miss this elixir a lot when we travel. Amul Lassee has come as a boon to us.
Now the tetrapacks of Amul products occupie the most important space in my tarvelling bag.

Product: Handy, safe and healthy to drink, these have become a favorite for my kids as well, who rarely miss their colas. I normally carry both the varieties of Amul, the savory one for my hubby who dislike sweet taste while the Lassee tetra packs are packed for me and my kids.
Amul Lassee is great for traveling and picnic take away.

Reap the benefits of curds in staying healthy. Stay connected, take care.

Healthy Porridge For Kids

2010-08-03T14:48:00.001+05:30

Mornings are the time when the clock seems to run the fastest. From waking up the kids to making and packing the lunch for kids and hubby.... Phew!!
Where is the time to prepare breakfast? Whatever comes handy goes to the breakfast table. Oats and other sugary cereals for the kids which they detest most of the times.
This is when I discovered this instant porridge from Euro Garden and experimented with my son, who is ever willing to try out new recipes for his breakfast.
I got an instant thumbs up for this instant porridge. Since then it has become a regular feature on the breakfast table. For the kids I add strawberry or chocolate syrup at times while it is plain porridge for my hubby.

Product: The cereal is ready to eat kind with small and crispy granules which become soft when milk is added to it. It resemble the wheat Dalia or the Couscous variety with a soft texture.
Take required quantity of the granules in a bowl and add cold or warm milk in it. Add some flavor to make it more kid friendly.
Yogurt can be mixed with this instant porridge with a pinch of salt and roasted cumin powder.

Now my mornings are quite relaxed with less of "No, not this again" to more of smiley faces :)
And I get more time to be with my kids than in my kitchen during morning rush hours.

Thanks to Euro Garden and the Instant porridge.

Hope you find this useful, stay connected, take care.
