The first one that I have is the spring vegetable pasta as it was very apt for the season....
It’s peanut butter jelly time! I’m a sucker for a good strawberry jam! Whenever there’s a jar in the refrigerator, I find myself swirling a bit into my vanilla yogurt for a snack.

Quinoa is the new found super food and it has been used a lot lately. I myself substitute it instead of rice to eat along with sambhar or rasam, though that is not one of my preferred methods to consume it. I would rather eat it as Quinoa Pulao or Quinoa Tabbouleh.
