To lift up our spirits we stirred up some non-alcoholic mulled wine to bring in the Christmas eve. Traditionally mulled wine also known as Gluehwein is made by mixing red wine and orange juice but since I am breastfeeding we made a non-alcoholic version using organic grape & cranberry juices, spiced with cinnamon, cloves & star anise, sweetened up with a drizzle of honey.

I have more or less used the same recipe as the traditional vegetable pulav but added green veggies too. So without further ado let’s cook this one pot meal.

This blueberry banana smoothie tastes divine!!😋 The consistency of the smoothie is thick because of the banana and that purple colour from blueberries is what your eyes need on a grey day. It’s been over a week that I am having this smoothie for my breakfast. I generally add coconut milk to the smoothie, but feel free to use your variety here: almond milk, whole milk, skimmed milk. As I do not like frozen fruits, I make my…
