Today I thought to prepare oats again in breakfast. It’s one of the healthy dishes. It contains a lot of fibers. It does not need any extra oil to prepare. I have added flax seeds, which has high in omega-3 fats. And when we add different types of fruits and nuts, its flavor become different. Then in lunch time, I prepared pakhal bhat. It is very famous in Odisha district in India. During summer days, the temperature is so high there. So, people use to eat water rice to balance their body temperature. It is so refreshing. Generally, the combination of water rice or pakhal bhat and fish fry, gives a heavenly taste. Even the simple spinach fry/saag bhaja also goes very well with pakhal bhat. You may feel little heavy but it’s okay for once in a while. Me and family are having only breakfast and lunch during this covid-19 pandemic time, because we have less activities to do when we stay only at home. And we have not faced any heaviness due to food. In fact, we feel really good. So, as I say good food gives happy mood. I hope you would all like my today’s menu.
So, here it goes the Day 12 breakfast menu: -
