Food for summer time!

The summer in this year round has been fabulously strong. I am pretty much overdosed with Vitamin D; and i'm having a huge summer time with my body system too. My tummy has gone hay-wire these days. Any stimulating meal in the day, would keep me flipping into sleepless night ( yes... insomnia) and frequent loo visits.
Chili.... toilet. Curry... toilet. Even cold drinks... toilet. Phew!

I requested for porridge, porridge and more porridge for dinner now. Simple food, does not need to be bland and boring. Here's what you can prepare at home:

Survival food--- Sweet potato Porridge
Instead of just having bland watery plain porridge.... bring in some sweet potatoes to the bowl. ( Yup, just like what our great- great- great grandparents ate to survive the war time.) It helps to add in some natural sweetness to the porridge too!


* please do also add in few small pieces of ginger slices---anti- human "gas bomb".
you can choose to eat them as prepared. I like to smash all the sweet potatoes and mix them with the porridge, its much sweeter this way:)

The Coolest Veg.
Hey yes, Its the cucumber! Our best friend in summer...!
We can consume them the conventional way. Raw. Sliced. Why not cook it, it taste as good too!


Keep the cooking process really simple: cucumber + little oil + little garlic + stir fry
Its a real juicy dish!

Simple ingredients. Simple cooking. Happy tummy.

Thanks to Yogi Cook ( my mum), she started the sweet potato porridge long time back, but i did not really give it a second look at that time. Thumbs up to her integrity for all these years: never give in to her basic principle in the kitchen. Clean ingredients, less oil, less salt... keep it simple!  

When outside food makes us sick.... simple home- cook food is actually all our tummy is asking for:)
