Chop Suey loaded Quinoa cups!

Here I am, after a week of silent contemplation on what to post next!

I though of sharing a recipe with you each week starting from today.

I experiment with food a lot. I love to eat and sometimes I find the things that I love most are unhealthy. So I went on to create the healthy versions of food that we all love. Eating healthy nutritious food is fun at my home.

In a large wok heat coconut oil and sauté the ginger garlic mix until golden brown and emits a lovely aroma. Add the veggies and sauté until the water oozes from the vegetables.

Mix arrowroot powder (start with tea spoon of powder) in water or stock and add to the wok. This is the healthy thickener in place of corn flour. Mix everything cook two minutes.

The far far away land called home!

Sometimes I wish time machines were not science fiction material! Often I wanted to go back in time to be with my parents in that rural village just to re-live a day in my childhood. Memories are so precious to me but with time they have faded, I wish I wrote them down earlier. It was the year 1983 my parents started building our home in a rural town called Athurugiriya. It is a lush tropical town close to the capital city of Colombo. I can remember the three of us visited the building site quite often. The builders stayed in a makeshift wooden cabin and we used to carry food for them during weekends. There were other families building their homes nearby.

Those who are yet to go to school have lot of exploring , playing and they need to grow up very fast and healthy!

The popular choices are pancakes, cereal and bread toast with a fruit juice on the side. As the sail upstream lady I cannot settle for any of that.
