Mouthwatering Monday – Baked Veggie Chips

Image January 26, 2015 jcisnowjs 1 Comment

Kids love Chips. If allowed they can live on just chips.

Are they tasty? Yes. Are they addictive? Yes.

Are they healthy? No.

So, I devised a new plan. Everytime my kids crave for chips I gave them home baked Veggie chips. They don’t like it as much they loved the ones from the market, but who cares? I am their Mother, and I will feed them what I think is right for them. Mommy Power 😛

Ingredients–

You can use vegetables like Potato, Radish, Zucchini, Carrot or any other of your choice.
Salt as required.
Oil to spray.

Method –

Preheat your Oven to 400 F.
Cut your vegetables in thin slices or in shape of your preference.
Wash them with water and then rinse thoroughly.
Sprinkle some salt and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
Remove excess water, if any.
Spray baking Pan with some oil and lay your veggie chips on it.
Sprinkle little salt and try some herbs if you want, like I have used Thyme here.
Bake for around 40 minutes, or when veggies turn a little crispy.
Remember, some vegetable need more time in oven so just put them in different pans, if you can, and bake them till they are crisp.
Let them rest for 2 minutes, and then serve with a dip or chutney.

Simple and healthy recipe.

I have served these delicious veggie chips with Mint chutney. Awesome combo. Try it, you will not regret. 🙂

Enjoy!!!

Mouthwatering Monday – Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Image December 15, 2014 jcisnowjs 2 Comments

Cookies… cookies. I love cookies. My kids too. What we don’t love is Oatmeal.

Oatmeal is healthy and cookies are not. What to do??

Idea!!!

Lets make Oatmeal Cookies. Why not add Banana too and make Banana Oatmeal Cookies. 😎

Banana Oatmeal Cookies by Jyoti Singh — Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients–

2 mashed Bananas
1 cup Oats
10-12 Raisins (optional)

Method –

Mix Oatmeal with mashed bananas.
Add Raisins to the mixture and mix.
Scoop out mixture on cookie sheet and bake them for 15 minutes at 350.
It would be lightly brown when done.
Take them out and let them cool for 2 minutes before serving.

It is a good way to eat Oatmeal and Banana together. These cookies can be served with tea or coffee, or they can be eaten by themselves.

Easy, and quick to make, healthy to eat. 🙂

Enjoy!!!

Kids and Me

Why I have a Pink Bathroom?

Image November 14, 2014 jcisnowjs 2 Comments

If you have kids, you might agree with me, that most worrisome time of having kids in home, is when suddenly everything is quiet. No noise. Nothing. Just a big quiet. Maybe some distant giggling, and some hushed voices. Hush…..

This is when your sixth sense awaken to its full power and you start to consider everything that can go wrong at your home.

To cut the suspense, let me straight come to my story.

So, yesterday it suddenly became quiet and I got worried. You would have been too, if you have three toddlers at your home but no noise. But, being myself, I was too lazy to go check in on them. So instead I stayed back in my room with the love of my life – my couch and my Netflix. 😎

But, as if this universe thought that having three kids is not enough exercise for me; my phone rang. Phone that was in another room. Why universe? Why?

Now, I had to stand and walk. Walk whole 10 steps, just to pick up a phone. Argg….

There in complete darkness on my room, was light coming from the bathroom. I tried to listen to sounds coming from there. It was some giggle and laughs.

And there were those three thieves…. don’t panic. Not actual thief but my very own personal thieves, my kids, who were stealing my makeup from my bathroom.

Tisha, was leading them. She was painting boys toe nails with my pink nail polish. She herself had some glimmering lip gloss all over her face. Everything was pink there.

Why everything was looking pink to me? Did my eyes get some pink in them?

Nope.

It was my bathroom floor. Which looked like it just had a shower with pink color. To top it all, my pure white bathroom towels, were pink now, as if someone has tried to clean the bathroom’s pink stained floor with them. Cupboards with pink hand prints. Small devilish pink hands all over them. That was some Pink Storm!!

My kiddos? Well, they all were screaming, “Go away Mamma. We are playing”. 👿

Wednesday Words – Once A Year Baseball

Image August 13, 2014 jcisnowjs 2 Comments

Most of the Life’s good things comes as a surprise.

It’s surprisingly true when it comes to experience that we encounter now and then, as most of them happen to be unplanned.

This time we stumbled on the opportunity to watch a baseball game. What is so special about this game?

Well, this game is played only once a year. Cool Right??? 😎

We were coming back from Colombia, MO; when we happen to witness a baseball match, going on in nearby field (along highway). As enthusiastic my husband is towards sports, he took the nearest exit and there we were, in that field.

It was a match played and organized by a community, and all the players and audience have gathered there from different places. Some came from Ohio, some Memphis, mid Missouri and all the places within the distance of 5 hour drive.

It was a marathon baseball match which was played between 9 teams. It started in morning and lasted till late evening. They played whole day and their well wisher and cheering squad motivated all the teams, from morning till the end.

Most amazing thing about that match was, that it was played for a charity. All the earnings from that match was donated for a cause to New Horizons Ministries.

It was a great match for a great cause. Kids enjoyed it and me too, as I met some beautiful friends there. All the girls there, were so nice and friendly, I love spending time with them.
