One pot Mexican Quinoa | Kukskitchen

Quinoa ( pronounced KEEN-wah) is the world’s most popular “superfood.” It is loaded with protein, fiber and minerals, but doesn’t contain any gluten. The year 2013 was actually called “The International Year of Quinoa” by the United Nations (UN), based on its high nutrient value and potential to contribute to food security worldwide.

Savoury Muffins to get kids eating vegetables | Egg Muffins | Kukskitchen

I struggle to get any vegetable down my little one. I frequently try to disguise them but kids now-a-days, as sharp as they are, realise the difference in taste and pick them out. So I changed my strategy. I will tell him what is in there but club it with some thing he finds really yummy.

Presented below is one such invention - Savoury muffin. He likes muffins (who doesn't!!) and he likes eggs and sausages. I have tried various vegetables in this muffin and he eats them hands down each time. Amma 1- Mathai 0. 

Make sure you serve with carbs in some form to make it a balanced meal. These yummy muffins go well with potato wedges and ketchup. To make them at home, blanch cleaned and wedged potatoes in boiling water for 6-8 mts. Drain and dry. Toss them in salt and pepper and a pinch of red chilli powder and oven bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
