If you want to keep the kids happy and interested in breakfast, why not throw a crostini party next weekend?
By Sonia Mangla
Here’s my secret to a Happy Mom and Happy Kid recipe. Every weekend I run out of ideas as to, what to cook for the breakfast ? The menu should be steady on two grounds. First, it should be fast to cook and clean. Second, yet the table should be full of healthy and inviting food. Though our staple weekend breakfast/brunch is of paranthas (stuffed indian flatbread), this time I thought of taking a break from our traditional menu and had made assortment of topped Crostini. In no time, my b’fast table was full of wonderful and Nutritious varieties to nibble.
