Carrot Cupcakes

 Carrot   Cupcakes Everyone seems to love Carrot Cake,  what I also like about them is how wonderfully moist they are and how flavorful they taste. I love this Carrot Cupcake recipe because it's so easy to make. No mixer is required. The time consuming part is the grating of the fresh carrots. I have included applesauce in the cupcake batter which, along with the oil, makes these cupcakes so moist. But, if you like, you could use an equal amount of grated apple or even crushed pineapple. You can also add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of currants or raisins to the batter. Carrot Cakes became popular with the health food craze of the 1970s. There are many theories on the origin of this cake, some say it descended from the English's baked carrot puddings or European steamed carrot puddings. Others say it may have come from German carrot breads. Carrots were used in European sweet cakes since the Middle Ages when other sweeteners were hard to find or just too expensive. In fact, carr...

Stay At Home Mom(SAHM) - Depression - is real and your not alone

Stay At Home Mom(SAHM) - Depression - is real and  your not alone!

Stay at home mum (SAHM) depressed the elephant in the room nobody talks about it. I mean, how dare you complain after being gifted this opportunity to stay at home and raise your own kids?.

But its not that simple of course we SAHM's are grateful to stay at home and raise our young but that its literally all we become, no one talks about the isolation, no one talks about the loss of identity, no one talks about the loneliness, no one talks about how you had to give up your carrier because its cheaper for you to stay at home, no one talks about how you cry in the shower because your day was overwhelming, no one understands why your tired, no one understands why your irritable, no one understands why you need a mental break, no one understands why your so aggravated with your kids, no one understands why after you have been home all day, the house is a wreck still, no one understands why you just need 5 minutes with no one spending to or touching you, no one understands why your completely and utterly exhausted after all, you just sit at home all day, no one understands the feeling you have when your told you don't have a "real job".

Most of us were working women at one point. We got to go to a job and interact with other adults outside our home, we contributed financially to our house hold (shoot, most of us want some kind of side hustle or part time job because it would sure help with financial relied).

We didn't feel like an endless maid. We got that break away,(even though yes, work is love/hate relationship) that gives you space from the people you live with (children, spouse etc), because every relationship needs time away in it to not go crazy being around each other 24/7, that's not healthy, contrary to popular belief- you need a break daily.

I can tell you how many women I meet or know that say "OH, YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS,"! I sure wish i could stay at home, i wont complain".

Good for you!!

I can guarantee you will change your mind 6 months in unless your wealthy and have money to constantly go to things.

I once was you, i wished  upon a star, i could  stay home with my kids because i wanted to spend all the time i could, i didn't realize what all came with being a SAHM.

Oh but you chose to have those kids, You should have thought about that before having them.

If you didn't want to go through all this you shouldn't  have never had kids. And you said you want more?

Seriously.. heard those all before.

Next time you hear or see a SAHM venting her frustrations, listen and make her feel like she's somebody. That her struggles are not invalid. If this is you mamma, please reach out and seek help to ease your pain, if even a little you are not alone.

Matta Broken Rice Kanji (Chemba Rice) - RICE PORRIDGE FOR 8-9 months babies (diet food for elders)

Matta Broken Rice Kanji (Chemba Rice) - RICE PORRIDGE FOR 8-9 months babies (diet food for elders)                       Kanji is basically a rice soup. It is so comforting to eat on a rainy or a cold day. My mom used to make it for dinners atleast couple of times a month. Not to forget how comforting it is to have it to have it when you are sick with fever or cold. It is usually made with a type of rice commonly eaten in Kerala called the Chemba Rice (Matta Rice). It has a red hue to it with small red lines. I think Kanji used to be more of a poor man's staple, but these days all Star Hotels serve them as a delicacy. Though Kanji tastes great on its own, there are a lot of typical items that go with it. Green Moong is one of them. Some people cook the moong along with the rice. I like it separate. Other things are coconut, pickle (typically mango or lime) and pappadad are best side dish. We can start giving thi...

Mappilai Samba Rice Kanji |The Bridegroom’s Samba Rice Kanji

Mappilai Samba Rice Kanji |The Bridegroom’s Samba Rice Kanji Mappillai Samba is a native variety of rice, which is red in colour and is grown predominantly in Tamil Nadu. It’s well suited to organic farming because it requires hardly any fertilisers or pesticides. Unfortunately, along with other native varieties of rice, Mappillai Samba has disappeared from our farms and markets; instead, people are going for highly processed, nutritionally inferior white rice. Very few passionate traditional farmers still grow such rice now. In olden days, it is essential for a man to show his bravery through many traditional sports. These sports are conducted to test their physical as well as their mental strength. One such game was to lift a heavy rock called illavatta kal, in which, the newlywed bridegroom is asked to lift the rock in front of everyone to display his physical power. In order to boost the energy and power of son-in-law to lift the rock successfully, mother in law wanted ...

New Year Detox Water

New Year Detox Water Cleansing isn’t about depriving your body of food or nutrients — instead, it is a chance to retrain your palate to acquire a taste for whole foods in their natural state. I strongly believe that eating wholesome, cleansing foods in order to bring your body to an alkaline state will balance your body in a way that will be beneficial for your entire life. Approaching a cleanse in a healthy way can help you to re-establish a baseline and allow your cells and organs to function at their optimum potential. Cleansing also helps you introduce healthy, organic, and fresh foods to your diet, giving your digestive system a break while purifying your blood. It is safe to do a one or two day  juice  fast, if you feel up to it, but it is not necessary. Cleansing is about eating fresh whole foods as the basis of all your meals: eating more salads, drinking more  smoothies , and drinking lots of fresh water throughout the day. At the very least, start your...
