I am more than happy to answer the questions she has asked and then I will tag 8 food bloggers asking them , My 8 questions , who then will  tag 8 more food bloggers...





      Here are my 8 questions by Kavitha and my answers to them :)

1. What is your take on organic food , is it a big deal for you ?

In today's busy and fast-paced lifestyle, though we know the importance of healthy living and benefits rendered by organic food products, we couldn t follow the perfect food style. So, me too couldn t take it as a big deal indeed.





2. Do you time your breakfast, lunch & dinner or eat when you are hungry?

 I used to take food whenever I feel hungry and there is no specified time for my food. But, will give importance to energytic breakfast and I used to take as early as possible.

 

3. What inspired you to write a food blog?

Funny &  to be more frank, I started recording all my cooking recipes into a notebook, in order to help my near and dears, my husband given me a thought that why can’t I write the same through a blog, by the way it would help others also. I started this blog casually, now it has become my part of life.

 

4. You try a new recipe and it does not turn out good, what will you do ?

I will never give up if it does not work out and I won’t lose heart, I will stand up and try again, till I achieve.

 

5. Name three ingredients you consciously avoid or eliminate even when the recipe calls for it ?

Cheese, Ajina moto and Baking soda.

6. Name three things you have to use in most recipes?

Onion, Red chilly & Ginger.

7. How important is eating meals together as a family to you?

It is very important to me. By eating with children, it is more likely that meals will be healthier and more balanced.  Kids who dine with parents are healthier, happier and better students. It brings consistent schedule back into family life and particularly in teen’s life. It gives good time to discuss values.  

 

8. You do not like a particular dish at your favorite restaurant, what will you do?

I used to choose my restaurant based on dishes only, hence such a situation never occurred.
