 I am sure, once you are back to home from the hot scorching heat outdoor, you would soon bounce back to coolness if you have a cold watermelon drink... Its so cool, so refreshing and so relaxing. Watermelon aqua fresca is such a soothing drink, with a slight lemon punch. You'll never ever have such a refreshing and energizing drink. Ingredients: water melon- 2 cups mint leaves- 6 leaves sugar- depending on the sweetness of the melon lemon juice- 2 tbsp. ice cubes Preparation: Blend all the ingredients together and strain.  Serve chilled.

MANGO, APPLE AND CUCUMBER WITH A TWIST

Do you love something jhatpata? Well I am an Indian and I definitely do... I was bored of regular fruit consumption or transforming it into a fruit salad. And last week when I lacked side dishes for lunch for my hubby, for a rice hater like him, inorder to push rice down into his throat, I always had to assemble a whole lot of side dishes not to remind him that he is consuming rice,  so instead  of just chopping down some fruits, I added a TWIST.     As I mentioned, I was bored of just chopping fruits and consuming as it is. And my hubby loves adding chilli and salt to almost all fruits. So I pulled out everything available in fridge, to add extra fancy to my lunch. All I did was chopped available fruits, cucumber, added lime juice and seasoned with chilli powder and salt. Simple and yummy to gear up your lunch. And I was amazed to see my hubby gulping big spoonfuls of it. What better wordless compliment can you receive.hehe

I came to know that you can actually consume the yoghurt as it is, straight from the packet, that's how emiratis here are. Once while I was in  the clinic to get my baby his routine vaccination, I saw a lady opening up  a store bought cup of yoghurt and fed it straightly to her infant child. It made me feel weird, but then I thought why not?. After all its not the kind of very sour yoghurt that we get at our home land, its just so rich and creamy. Recently I discovered this version of yoghurt being served with fruits and is actually available in the store. I normally like Strawberries so I always go for it if I was given an option. Other berries also tatses great with yoghurt. There other flavors too available in the store like O
