Hello
dear foodies! How are you all? Winter season just has ended for this year. And,
my hesitation is back – what to cook today?? 😀
Many types of vegetables were
available in winter and I had no fear for Varity of cooking. But, after winter,
there are few vegetables in market, those my hubby likes! I know, now we can buy all the vegetables in all the year from shopping malls; but, I like to buy and eat seasonal veggies in their season. So, I am now experimenting on how to cook without vegetables!😛
last week, I have
tried a new recipe with Brown rice, that can be eat without anything. Try it;
you can cook it for the lunch box of your hubby or children!
