Hello Everyone – Beginning of another week and hope you’ll have a nice long weekend. For all our global friends/readers – we had a Labor Day – Long Weekend holiday here in the USA, so lots of fun, picnics, BBQ and just a great time with friends n family. After an awesome response to my First Back2School Post, I’m back (as promised) with more Back to School – Lunchbox Ideas. Now, these recipes are cooked by me personally and most of them use Indian Spices/Flavor.
These Back2School Lunch Ideas – Indian Recipes can be made in advance or frozen for later uses, each recipe will contain the required storage details/options. Also who say’s they can be made only for kids – Do try them for yourself too 🙂
