The best time of the day is when the lil’M is back from school. Breaking the silence of the house, she chats nonstop till she completes telling me how her day went by. The chat continues till she sits down to relish snacks. Afterschool snacking is more important to me all because this is the first time lil’M is carrying her lunch and staying till 4 in the evening at school. I always make it a point to give her something hot in the evening snacks most of the times. This Oats and Dates Porridge is one recipe which I and lil’M love the most. This goodness loaded recipe is easy to make and can be experimented by adding fresh fruits too.
