Why did I start this blog...

Today I realized, when talking to a friend, that I never quite explained why I started this blog in the first place! After all, there is no dearth of cooking blogs in the web. I started this blog when Anjalie became a toddler. At that point, I was looking for recipes that a toddler can appreciate and enjoy along with the whole family. Oh! I did try the commercial baby food first though. I simply could not resist their marketing strategies ;) But after one lick of it both Anjalie & I chucked it straight away into the bin. After talking to other parents, and health visitors, I decided that making food at home that the whole family can enjoy was the best choice for us. I will add that I am very much pleased to read an article today in BBC that suggests that this might be a good idea too :) Here is the link for it : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-22281962 The study conducted on five-year-olds shows that, among other factors, children who eat what their families eat have healthier diets. Having decided, to make family-pleasing meals, I was out hunting for children-friendly recipes that adults can enjoy too. When I tried them, at home, I have had many successes and quite a few failures. I came to the conclusion that a blog was a great way to record my successes and share them with others who are looking for recipes that the whole family can enjoy, i.e, you!
