The pig & chick...

~ Breakfast Time ~

Playtime n story telling sessions are integral

part of the vacations. I always feel nothing

is better than reading out a good story to the

kid , short educative ones are not only a great

pastime but also a wonderful aid to build values

n teach them uncountable life skills. My little one

tremendously enjoyed the 'Little Pig n the Chick '

story that I read out yesterday. The story revolves

around a cute little chick n a piglet who try to mimic

the birds without actually realizing that they are

much different to the winged creatures.....

Story on my plate

Half fried egg , peppercorns ,olives, red pepper , tomato sauce n lettuce

Tip- Large metallic cookie cutters are a great way to make cute

shaped fried omelets/ pancakes. Place a cutter on a skillet n pour the

the egg/batter .Cook till done. Decorate n serve.

Father's Day

~ Happy Fathers Day ~

Little Food Junction wishes all the Fathers round the

globe a very Happy Fathers Day .

The breezy morning today is filled with an enchanting

smell of lavender n citrus, my little one has sprayed her

dad's (actually her own) favorite room sprays all over

the house. Days ahead she had been planning for some

celebrations. My little cook wanted to prepare breakfast

for papa(since its fathers day mommy is allowed to help

in the kitchen..lols)- We've fixed up some shirt/tuxedo

sandwiches to add to the merriment of the occasion.

A tiny little fruity no cook dessert is chilling in the

refrigerator to follow .....

Shirts for Breakfast

Brown bread , cheese, tomato sauce & garden fresh salad.
