Wow Egg Noodles

I made it with some onions and frozen vegetables. We all enjoyed the wholesome taste.

Some Foodie observations

1.  Kirkland Organic Sweet potato chips taste like banana chips and tapioca chips. Its the sweet flavor working 2. Adding  gongura chutney  in lentils reminded me of  chintakaya pappu  , which is lentils with tangy raw tamarind flavor.

Pad Thai with Kame Wide Noodles

When I found these two on sale at Albertsons, you can imagine what I had in mind. I made Phad Thai noodles. I had to boil the Lo mein Noodles longer than the 4 min suggested on the wrapper.

Fitness bread pakora

My husband got home a Famous German 'Fitness Bread' packet. I had some idea of what to expect of the  German bread . earlier I would have dunked it in tea.

Banana Bread

I used  Banana Bread Recipe  from Banana Bread Cookbook: 51 Easy But Great Banana Bread Recipes book by Eli Hartly. If you are going to bake anyways, why not try a new recipe. I am glad I did.

I could have probably removed another 1/4 cup as the end result was still sweet. I liked the fine melt in the mouth texture. It reminded me of kesari.
