Mixed Fruit Shrikhand
Here’s something different from all the different baking and kid friendly dishes I have been posting all week. A deliciously creamy Indian dessert made with yogurt and flavored with saffron and served with some fruit. I was never a big fan of Shrikhand growing up and don’t remember eating it many times.

Vegetarian Curries from Himachal Pradesh
Channa Madra: This was one of the most popular dishes made for the state of Himachal Pradesh. It is a yogurt based curry made with chickpeas. Recipe adapted from Valli’s & Nalini’s recipes: Nashpati ki Subzi (Pear Curry): This is quite an unusal dish for me, since I rarely cook with fruits and making a curry with a fruit is very new to me. When I saw it on Vaishali’s blog, I really wanted to try it to see how it tastes. I wasn’t disappointed — the curry is sweet, spicy and juicy.
Apple Pie Smoothie
I make sure that I take a copy of ‘Chop Chop’magazine from my kid’s pediatrician’s office. It is a fun book with some very simple to make recipes and activity ideas for kids. My son loves to read this book cover to cover and really enjoys doing the word scramble and kid quizes. Today’s recipe is a simple smoothie from that book. I asked my son to pick a recipe that we can make together and this was something he thought he would like. He didn’t really care for the texture of oats in the smoothie and I tried to…
