Mayo Sauce- My Love

For me, mayo sauce is one of the greatest inventions of mankind. My mother truly feels fortunate for my love for this magical ingredient as she exactly knows how to cheer me up after a bad day. She takes the trouble to cook the tastiest of foods incorporating my favourite ingredient just to see me happy again.

She has even taught me easy sandwich recipes (with mayo sauce, obviously) that I can make on my own in her absence. And I doubt there exists any food item with which the mayo sauce dip can’t be used. But here is a list of some snacks which seem inedible to me without the delicious dip:

1.Chips and nachos

I remember the night when my best friends had come over to my place to stay the night. We bought one huge packet of nachos and a bottle of mayonnaise to go along with it. Munching on the snacks while watching one of the scariest movies ever made, we emptied the entire bottle of mayonnaise too.

2.Momos and spring rolls 

Chicken momos without mayo dip on the side is like a TV without a remote for me. Ludicrous as my example may have sounded to you, it is an unchangeable truth for me nonetheless. The same holds true for chicken spring rolls. These delectable, mouth-watering items taste absolutely boring without a dip on the side. And what could be better than mayonnaise?

3.Instant noodles

I love to experiment with the instant noodles. More than the spicy and original version of the noodles, I prefer the creamy taste that I add using cheese, butter, or mayonnaise.

I would tell you about the best mayo sauce recipe in India that my mother recently tried out, but my empty stomach is imploring me to gulp down the hot chicken wings lying on the table. Let me go satiate my appetite and I really hope to see you soon!

Top 4 Ways to Eat Tomatoes

When it comes to salad, my sole interest is devoted toward the tomatoes! Yes, every time I see a ripe and juicy tomato, it sends down a feeling of euphoria in my entire system. No, I am not the only one obsessed with tomatoes; there are other tomato lovers out there as well who can go about picking out tomatoes out of any dish prepared for them! For all those who are smitten by tomatoes, here is a list of ways you can eat this heavenly vegetable.

Raw is real

When nothing else works out, eat it raw! Forget salad just eat it raw. Cut it into slices and sprinkle a bit of salt and bite! You will taste heaven at its real best. I often try this at home. This is healthy with volumes of vitamin C going in your body and for tomato lovers like me, it is the best and the simplest way to enjoy one!

Sauce it up!

Most Indian tomato sauce has this sweet flavour to it, which true tomato lovers do not like. So how about making tomato sauce at home?  It is a fabulous thing to try this scorching summer! All you need is olive oil and basil. Smash it, mix with olive oil and make a sauce out of it! Add basil and bruschetta as a topping! You are now ready to give tough competition to the ketchup suppliers in India with your own tomato sauce!

The salad saga

How about an all tomato salad or, a salad with predominantly tomatoes in it? Saves you the pain of picking out the tomatoes from salads, right? Just add a cup of fresh mozzarella balls. Top it up with the juice of a lemon, 2 tablespoons decent olive oil, and fresh and sliced basil to go with it. Mix salt and pepper to taste. You are ready for a lip smacking salad!

Wrap it up

Make your own tomato wrap. Toast two of the biggest slice of sourdough bread. In one slice, spread prepared hummus, then comes the best part: add big, fat slices of the best, ripest tomato you can lay your hands on and top it with the other slice of the bread. Now you are ready to relish!

Never Skip Your Breakfast

I have often heard my mom telling me how important it is to have a healthy and fulfilling breakfast. When I was in school, I used to have just a glass of milk before going to school. During my college life too, I never ate breakfast unless I planned to miss my morning lectures. Then one fine day, someone asked me a thought provoking question. That person asked me if I charge my phone before leaving for work. My answer was – “of course I do. Otherwise I would not be able to sustain the battery of my smartphone till the end of the day.” That person was very happy with my answer. He then asked a rhetorical question. He said “even a non-living thing needs to be charged in the morning. How do you expect a living being to survive the morning with no food?” I had no answer. He had managed to convince me.

There are so many food service India providing us with convenient ways of obtaining healthy food. Why do we still hesitate to nourish our bodies? Breakfast is an important meal providing us with the energy to function properly throughout the day. These days there are so many options. I am sure you would find copious easy and healthy breakfast recipes on the internet. The breakfast does not need to be boring. If your child refuses to have his morning meal, find creative ways to do so.

If you still aren’t convinced of the importance of having breakfast daily, I suggest you try it for a few days. Have wholegrain bread, cereals or fruits. Try it for at least a month and see if you feel any change in your energy level. But do give it one shot.

I also have a quick tip- start your day by drinking a glass of water to keep yourself hydrated.
