Barley reminds me of my pregnancy when I had to gulp that glassful of white, odorless and tasteless fluid religiously. Times have changed after the constant browsing and learning more about food and health through internet. Though there are schools which are for and against the wholegrain in diet, I go with the former. As I don’t make the wholegrain as my staple food but add them as a supplement with my veggies, fruits and lentils.

‘I am a Muffin Man’..and here is what I baked, an English Muffin on a griddle! And my daughter never stopped humming the rhyme the whole day with these muffins in her hand Ever since I made my healthy Palm sugar Mixed fruit preserve I was thinking of a great accompaniment to supplement it. And what better than a hot whole-wheat English Muffins right from the griddle.

Unlike the oven baked muffins with leavening agents, these English muffins baked with yeast are extremely light and soft in texture. These are actually quick-baking breads and make a good breakfast when smeared with butter, honey or fruit preserves. These are generally made in small portions and are generally not very sweet and are devoid of frosting. Made in flat circular shape these muffins are traditionally split open with a fork and served with hot butter with tea.

A Zucchini Sunday! Yes the weekend was dedicated to this summer squash and its delicacies. Baked a Zucchini bread, a brownie and savory pancakes with my Zucchini. These Zucchini pancakes are quite easy and quick to make and can be a delightful breakfast.

No more reasons for skipping a breakfast with all the easy, quick and healthy recipes readers and bloggers have shared for this Wholewheat for Breakfast event WWC on Lite Bite. Thanks everyone for being a part of the event and letting us discover the wonderful cooking from your space.

The next WWC is alive on Siri’s blog, hope to see many more joining the dinning table with her with Brown rice for dinner.

Dips and spreads add flavors to the food and makes an excellent appetizers when combined with crackers, bread sticks, veggies, and fruits. And are a great addition to the pantry when one is hard pressed for time and needs a quick breakfast.

One of the most ancient foods known to us – Honey, is a nature’s gift to mankind. This translucent, viscous and golden beauty is highly acknowledged for its healing properties. A great source of carbohydrates, it has a natural fruit sugar and is a delicious alternative to white sugar due to the color and flavors it imparts to the food.

A bottle of Honey is a must at all times in my kitchen shelf. And I find it really hard to resist licking a teaspoon of it whenever any recipe requires me to unscrew the bottle of this golden liquid

Snacks are a good way to add extra nutrients in our diet, more so when we are loggerheads with time. A healthy bar of Granola in the snack box of kids will make sure they get the goodness of nuts, cereals and other minerals all packed in one.

Granola also makes a quick & healthy breakfast when mixed with yogurt and other cereals. A great snack to satisfy after school and office hunger for the kids and adults as well, Granola is a prudent choice in our diet. The benefits of fibers in the wholegrain, vitamins & minerals in the fruits and powerful nuts will surely keep the energy levels going.

Pancake is a weekend breakfast at my home. And I often get worked up thinking new ideas and innovative ways to bring different flavors and taste to pancakes. This time I tried adding Ragi, Finger Millet to my Pancake batter just to add extra bit of nutrition to the breakfast. And I was surprised when my 6 years old daughter enjoyed and finished it without any complain

A dessert is what everyone eagerly waits for on a holiday in my house. And when the said delicacy is made with healthy ingredients and is nutritious, there are no rules to follow.

This Muesli Crumble falls in the same category, one for which I don’t have to keep a watch on the number of empty bowls A great Breakfast and a delicious Dessert.
