Inspired by my mom and MIL who cook daily, I have decided I am going to try it out too. I was also thinking of this idea of maybe doing a blog linky party. I think this would be a great way to get inspiration from other households especially if we ar ein a rut for Sangeethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274946088501464400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-5701496717985158252013-02-25T08:14:47.357-06:002013-02-25T08:14:47.357-06:00Thanks for sharing your strategy, I think it is a ...Thanks for sharing your strategy, I think it is a great idea to make vegetable-bean stir fries that can then be dressed in several different ways.Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-59879829163706952412013-02-25T08:13:09.351-06:002013-02-25T08:13:09.351-06:00Thanks for the tips- it is a great idea to do vege...Thanks for the tips- it is a great idea to do vegetable prep on the weekend if that helps to make quick weekday meals.Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-56354055057295077562013-02-25T08:12:06.651-06:002013-02-25T08:12:06.651-06:00Sounds good to me!

Over the weekend, I make one dal and one leafy veggie every week. In addition to that, I also make few curries, and a couple stir fries as well- all colored bell pepper, zucchini, black beans stir fry and broccoli, carrot stir fry. I have couple seasonings and I use them alternately.

I am an avid follower can quote from your blog :) some of the best things I liked- if you have a hobby and work on it just a little bit everyday over the years it can build into a large piece of work. <br /><br />Cooking is not a hobby it is a life skill.
