Quick Hummus and Mango Lassi


I am officially on a diet now. Its the most difficult thing for me to do because its summers, I have my vacations on and FOOD IS LOVE! Oh lord, how can one not eat burgers, pizzas, noodles, rice, potato, etc??

But I am pretty strong headed this time! Soooo.. I have planned on having nutritious, moderate on calorie intake and GOOD food.

At first, you can't think of much when you use the two words ( nutritious and GOOD food) together. But I work on the basis of ingredients when I make food. Hence, when one thinks that way, pretty inventive ideas can come across your head.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are the best ones I really feel. Have them anytime! Be it with coffee, tea or just like that. The best part of chocolate chips is that they do not stay solid or melt when we bake them. They just stay in a middle state where they are just soft and melt in your mouth. These cookies can be made chewy or crispy, its your wish how you want then to be. A wonderful comfort food so go bake 'em in no time. :D Ingredients 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 3/4th cup powdered sugar 1 cup packed light brown sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 and 1/4 cup chocolate chips Method In a large bowl , mix the flour and baking powder.
