I am a home cook with a fascination towards heath and nutrition. Being a fitness freak and mother of a growing kid, I love to experiment healthy variations of my favorite flavors in all possible ways. I am a nonbeliever of following recipes for my cooking, but not everyone is.. :P and that is why I blog here :)
