Head over heels in love with food

Gandhi once quoted “Whilst it is true that man cannot live without air and water, the thing that nourishes the body is food. Hence the saying, food is life”. I too believe that eating is important but to eat smart is what we all need to acknowledge for an active lifestyle.

Well, my mom encourages me into eating healthy by emphasizing that our skin is what we eat. Now that made an impact on me! In a layman language it means that our body related issues majorly depend on what we intake as our meals connecting me permanently on the path of healthy and nutritious food. Now, I can proudly say that I follow this quote and the lockdown has acted like the cherry on the cake for making me understand the importance a good appetite. The best habit I have developed is about eating an apple and drinking 2 cups of milk every single day. We all know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away and milk is a wholesome product for providing all the good vitamins, calcium and nutrients making me a stronger girl!

Food for me is also for wellbeing. It is about good mood or mending every bad moment to a thrilling one. It helps me cheer up! 

Once my brother, my sister and my mom were being very rude to me, so I went upstairs in anger hoping that someone would come and give me some attention. Like, 15 minutes later, my brother came up and just picked me. Honestly, I was frightened that I might fall because I am pretty big to be in someone’s arms. Hahaha! Who knew, that they would surprise me with an early birthday treat- PIZZA AND CAKE! Uffff, it was a good meal and perfect mood charger!

Just to let you all know, I am very comfortable in easy foods. Like I have been eating curd, rice and sugar’s combination for a very long time now and I still love it. Its just so scrumptious! It’s easy to cook and fulfils the need for a healthy lunch. So whenever my mom is in dilemma and asks me for my meal I am like, Mama I’ll have  दहिन चीनी चावल (in a sing a song manner).

In short, for me food is life! What about you?

Finally, some bakers I recommend (In Ludhiana):
