Corn balls

Kids return hungry from school and we moms try to feed them healthy, it remains the same routine day in day out.My kids love corn but sometimes I feel scared giving them the same things they like every week too, what if they get bored of that.So a change is always welcome.

French Fries

French fries are something everyone young or old enjoys.My son loves french fries ofcourse potatoes are the only vegetable he likes to eat.I'm wondering if thats the case with many mothers these days.Like we say necessity is the mother of all invention.I used to make fries at home and it was oily,soggy and all my guilt stopping me from making it at all.This may not be perfect like the store brought ones but atleast i know theres nothing added to it.

Pizza rolls

I've been wanting to  make pizza for ages ofcourse from scratch.But somehow things never work out.Either i have no veggies for toppings or no cheese.So this time i just decided i should go and make something with a pizza base.I made the pizza sauce the day before.Also the idea was to make pizza pinwheels but what happened was not very nice to look at but tasted really yummy and my kids loved it.

Vettu cake - tea time snack

Tea time is also after-school time these days though i prefer not to make deep fried snack all the time , it happens to be one of the most easy to feed things with kids.This snack is popular in our home town or rather the south of Tamil nadu and kerala too.It maybe known by other names in different regions.I just came to know it is called "mutta-koss"(means cabbage due to its appearance) from my neighbour who is from Tirunelveli.It is called vettu(cut) cake because of the cuts made on the top of the cake i guess.
