Time management - cooking, cleaning, and exercise

Hi kika take care of yourself dear. Health is wealth first. I can understand that you want to treat your dh after his arrival with your cooking. But if you don't stress your feet and take care of yourself, you will cook as soon as possible.so take good rest.
Hi Akila, Thanks for the compliment(This what , i want(need), read it in Vivek's(comedian)style). Really i need some motivation now. So your word made my day today. As a return gift i am giving you the recipe (i watched it in a cookery show yesterday).
oats- jaggery burfi:
Boil 1 cup of jaggery and bring it to one string consistency.
Meanwhile dry roast 1 cup of oats, 2 tbspn of peanuts, 2 tbspn of puffed channa dal, 2 tbspn of Badam(optional), 2 pinch of cardamom pwd.
Add all the things in the jaggery syrub and mix well. Dust a plate with rice flour(instead of ghee, as it is a low calorie recipe), add in the mixture and make it as pieces.
For me it was little watery so i made it as balls. Yesterday on total i ate 10 balls(never mind the calorie of peanuts):hide:. Today it was like a puffed rice ball, even though tasty.

Thanks for the info Akila, Last week even i went through a rough time at night 10 becoz of blocking.

Thanks for the info bhucat.
Jeni, don't stress yourself becoz of the home chore.

My updates
Today my day started at 6 with Suryanamaskar. prepared mushroom pulao and pizza paratha. Today was a hectic and tired day for me. Ds bus came 2 hr late(believe me), No parent is sending the kids to school and they are shouting at the bus driver. So i also stay back with the kid. So 2 hr is simply wasted in the road with hungry. After coming back gave him some food and after little rest asked him to study, i was near by him. At 12, one of the parent called me and asked for a get together(abt the school issue), went there talked for some time and children started playing, they had no mood to come home and after a long struggle every kid separated.

After coming home tried to prepare oats wheat idli , but some how it turned into upma(i converted it into upma as it was like a semi solid:drowning). After lunch studies for ds, cleaned vessels and mopped the floor,. Gave 1 hr break to ds and i am now in IL. Need to do, help ds in studies, fold the clothes(didn't do yesterday), prepare wheat upma for dinner

Happy long weekend for those who are in India
Enjoy the Independence(day) by keeping everybody happy.

Dear ladies,

I hope you will not mind my stepping here for a gentle reminder. We try hard to keep the website consolidated with similar kind of information in one area. So it would be wonderful if you all just post the links to your recipes or any other information after posting them in the appropriate forum. This is beneficial to the website and other ILites who visit us and no doubt to you also.

Personally I like visiting this thread myself.There is tons of information! So carry on ladies and thank you for all your inputs, making this a valuable thread.
