Well, change is a permanent thing, but after living in a place for some years it creates many moments which I can treasure for ages.
Having a 2-year-old, my biggest concern is to give him healthy snacks. Like me, many moms have a big question about mid-morning and evening snacks for kids. These days my son wants to hold his food and eat by himself – yet another point to be considered.

Should healthy and tasty treat always involve complex cooking process or spending more time in the kitchen, defiantly no. With minimal cooking, these energy balls can be prepared in no time. Loaded with nuts and without sugar (Yes Dates is there, but I believe it to be healthier compared to white sugar), this is a healthy bite. Dates laddu is a filing healthy snack after a workout and also good after school snacks for kids. Nuts and dates laddu combo works perfectly in our home.. Recently I posted Oats &Nuts Burfi. This is a quicker version of that with few changes.
