We all crave for afternoon snacks, and thats when our mind doesn’t wander into the health zone Back when I was a kid returning from school, my mom had to be super creative with even the basic rice and lentils to keep me away from those candies!! And some days she would let me experiment during my snack time, and I would play the chef in her kitchen. Overtime the kitchens have changed, but it still feels the same when I walk into my kitchen on a Friday afternoon to spruce up a quick snack for a fun evening with friends! I love to spice these little cups every time with different spice combinations and , so definitely feel free to be as creative as you can! And of course, don’t forget to Gobble Gobble!!

It’s always a special occasion when you cross your first landmark, and it has been an amazing fun ride sharing our tiny efforts towards a healthy living. A little over a month has passed since I made the move from the big apple to this beautiful sunny place with a new job, a new home, a new website and a new life..And all of this feels so worth it, when I’m just steps away from that person who helps create every corner of this place a little closer to home, who is always ready to become my guinea pig and who gives me that confidence to think about yet another new recipe. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than twisting one of my favorite recipes with his favorite fruit – mango!! (mine as well!!) Long way to go from here, and all along the way, we would love to just Gobble Gobble with you!!!

If you are following the NBA games, you would know what a crazy game is coming up in less than an hour! Now that I’m on the west coast, I’m kind of swayed towards the Golden State team, especially when they have had an exceptional season this year!! But let’s not get carried away indulging in some crazy snacks (we all love our chicken wings and fries!!). In my attempt to not give up fries, I tried to quickly spice up some zucchini sticks in less than half hour. So, go ahead, wear your Golden State caps and enjoy the finals. But wait…you can’t possibly forget to Gobble Gobble!!

Guess what!!! Summer is approaching real fast and what better way to celebrate than with the king of the fruits himself. Oh yes, I am talking about one of my favorite fruits in the world – mangoes. My love for mangoes go way back to my grandparent’s backyard which has many many mango trees, and every summer vacation my grand pa would introduce us to his world of home grown fruits. Mangoes have a unique freshness associated with them and adding them to a salad just quadrupled it.

This was another one of the greatest discoveries ever for me! I mean no sugar no flour no oil, and yet a muffin – it’s absolutely genius!! I adopted this recipe from pinterest and the original was a banana oat muffin. I have made so many batches of it with so many different variations that I am obsessed with them. They can be your breakfast muffins or even that afternoon snack that we all crave for! I can’t wait to go back to India to bake a batch with my mom 🙂

Please please please share your versions!! And don’t forget to gobble gobble!!
