Honey Roasted Garbanzo (Chickpeas) Beans

A few weeks ago I have posted an article on the Roasted Black Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans) that my kids eat all the time. It is crunchy, healthy and is a great source of protein and fiber that my kids just love munching on.  They are only available in your local Indian stores as far as [...]

Salmon Fish Cakes

Getting kids to eat Salmon is tricky. Either they love it or can’t stand the taste of it. Hmmmm.. isn’t that with everything with kids..? But kids surprise you as we so often tend to underestimate their palette that we stick to the tried and true. If I had accepted my 15 month olds initial [...]

I am [...]
