Hello Everyone
Its April here... Soon school and college summer holidays will begin... Now kids will be home most of the time... And it will be sunny out there... Now days its will be too hot outside... Global warming is increasing year by year ...From April only we can feel the heat.. May and June will be the worse months for going out.Its better to go out in evenings only or early mornings... We should be properly hydrated all the time with water or fresh juices prepared at home... Also keep water on your home window or balcony or on upper roof of your home for birds and animals.. It will be very helpful for them to get clean water at your place...Also don't use AC much.. rather then use old techniques to keep your home and yourself cool in these summer days.. Longtime exposure to AC is not at all good for your health and also to your wallet... So stay cool and hydrated this summer :) :)
When kids at home mummy's need to be extra hardworking.Full time kids want some or other thing to eat...Also they will demand for variety food.Going outside for dinner or lunch once in a while is great for everyone.But that is only once in a while.Other days we need to cook at home.In summers, we need some dishes which can be made soon and that too taste yummy.As kids will not wait for more time.They will be hanging around you.I am here to help you out from this situation.There are many such quick recipes are on my blog.And today also we are here to discuss one yummy recipe here..
