Lockdown Kitchen Guide
Often your regular schedule leaves you with very minimal free time available to explore your love for cooking. But the present lockdown period seems to be the perfect time for you to try your hands on some easy and healthy recipes at home. My two big challenges whenever I decide to try out a new dish are always finding the right ingredients in the market and most times the spices end up badly damaging my wallet. If like me you enjoy taking on a new kitchen challenge, check out these three healthy recipes that are both nutritious and wallet-friendly. These are healthy meal ideas that can be prepared in just 10 minutes and hey, even health experts approve of these home-made fast foods. Here are my recommendations.

Once the pancakes are made, add vanilla extract and or cinnamon. You can even drizzle the dish with a syrup (my recommendation is maple syrup).
