BIG BANG: Beginning of my Mommyverse:

When I was little, my mom was my only universe. So, that was my Mommyverse. And like our universe, my mommy was also born. That is why today is a little special for me, as this is my Mom’s birthday today. And I have something today which she loves.

She is far away in India, but I still wanted to celebrate her birthday, so I asked her about what she wants me to make towards the celebration of her Birthday. She said, “Nariyal Burfi (Indian Coconut Fudge)”.

I know she loves anything coconutty, so Coconut Fudge it is today. So I made it and sent her pictures. She got very happy to see that! πŸ™‚ Sometimes happiness is nothing more than making a little effort for someone you love. And that smile on their faces makes us happy too.

Isn’t it? I will share the Coconut Fudge recipe soon.

Forget those quick protein-bars in stores:

These days we see tons of protein bars in stores, and they are usually expensive. So, being a foodie, I have been thinking about its replacement for a long time. Just a little bit of digging on the internet, and I got the idea of making my own taste-specific energy-rich balls.

They are pretty good right after your workout:

Even though I am usually not much into energy bites as I am not a very physical person who exercises a lot. So I usually feel somewhat heavy after eating energy bites.

But for the past few days, I have been feeling a little heavier after having lots of sinful delicacies during holidays. So I started off this new year with some running, and now I can tell that I am seriously enjoying these balls. They provide me with an instant energy boost.
