Lunch Ideas
Looking for lunch time recipes? Here you can find the recipes ranging from home lunch to school or work lunch as well. I also love to share hot lunch ideas for school and work. When my kids started school, I was determined to pack them healthy, nutritious and satisfying lunches. After serving them everyday lunch, by this time, I have learned a lot what to pack and what not for them. Sometimes, It takes several experiments to figure out what really they would love to eat at school. We as a grown up can compromise but kids don’t. I am happy that my kids are not complaining about lunch box food at all as I pack them with extra care. I strongly recommend to keep seasons in mind, such as in summer, I mostly pack them cold food and in winter hot food. Everyday, I ask them for their next day’s lunch menu and if they don’t come up with their ideas, I just go ahead and involve them in deciding what they want by giving them some options and it works really great. By the way, I have two growing kids and both of them have totally different tastebuds…

Ayurvedic Diet
An Ayurvedic diet is an eating plan that provides guidelines for when you eat, what you eat, and how you eat to boost your health, prevent or manage disease, and maintain wellness. If you follow an Ayurvedic diet, you’ll eat primarily whole or minimally processed foods and practice mindful eating rituals. We all know there are certain things we should and shouldn’t do regarding diet. Ayurvedic diets are based on ancient medicinal practices that promote “holistic” balance in the physical body and mind in order to manage or treat various health problems. So let’s explore some elements of ayurvedic diet.
No Onion Garlic

When it comes to eating well, meal planning is one of the easiest things you can do to set yourself up for success. I noticed that cooking is easy, planning is hard. The key is just to start, and to set aside a little bit of time each week to do it.

To help you get started, I’ve broken down some of the basics.
