YouTube Video UCe5YchCtnYUkJOEz8_urN0Q_UaAD-pJUXxk One of the most exploited household appliance is Fridge or Refrigerator, whatever you call, it doesn't change the way we deal with it 😁 If you do not belong to this league then you are lucky. For a long time, I used to dump every other kitchen item in it thinking that I will use it soon. But that 'soon' never used to come, and I believe you can relate this with me.

But gradually, I have worked on it and came up with simple things to make my fridge functional and also keep it clutter and odor free. In this video, I have shared my way of organizing refrigerator/fridge where you will find that not only the fridge looks clean, fresh and organized but also it is left with so much space that there is a room to breathe. And, I mean it literally.

Like always, while making this video, I decided to share an amazing recipe that you can prepare like me on a rainy day, or on any day whenever you feel like having an amazing dish. The recipe is Bengali style 'Egg Torka' recipe. For my vegetarian friends, you can skip the egg part and have it (I have mentioned in the video as well). 

Hope you will like this video and share you valuable suggestions and comments. If you are new to our channel, please consider subscribing as it really motivates us to create content for you all.

Thank You 💗

When we hear the word "Microgreens", so many thoughts rush across our minds: "Can I grow Microgreen?", "How will I consume it?", "What are the things that can go wrong?", etc. etc. Well, you are not alone my friend. Same thoughts use to occupy my brain and I was very confused about giving it a try. It's been 2 years now since I started growing Microgreens and to my utter surprise, "It's SUPER easy to grow". 

Microgreens are small vegetable greens that can be easily grown with various seeds available in our kitchen, like Fenugreek (methi), Mustard (rye), Chickpea (chana), Mung Bean (moong), Black Bean, Wheat, etc. You just need to sow them in proper medium and make sure that the soil is moist (not soggy) to provide proper opportunity for the seeds to germinate. I don't want to go into the science of Microgreens but they are delicious and packed with lots of nutrients. 

In this video, you can witness how I grew them in my preferred medium i.e. Cocopeat and how I took care of them. Although, there is an interesting thing that happened during the process, which funny (in a way) and worthy of learning. I recommend that you watch the video till the end and see for yourself. Moreover, I have also shown two yummy recipes that I have prepared from Microgreens that me and my husband relished as brunch on a lazy afternoon.

I hope you will like the video and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Summer is here and we are managing in our own ways to deal with it. I personally don't like this season and I have found my ways to manage my daily chores during this season. 

The most challenging part of this season, which all of you will agree with me, is Cooking. And we need some great ideas to avoid standing long in the kitchen and also maintain good nourishment to ensure that our bodies are well equipped to maintain its immunity. Watch this video till the end as I have showcased what I cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And apart from that I have shared some my favorite drinks that I enjoy every summer.

The recipes that I have shared here are simple vegetarian dishes from my kitchen and these recipes are very common in every Bengali household during this season. Moreover, they are so easy that you can quickly prepare these yummy delicacies without any trouble. The first one is, Ucche Bhaja (Bitter Gourd Fry) and the second one is, Kancha Aam'er Tok Daal (Red lentil soup with raw mango). The third recipe is Alu Tomato sabzi that is super light on stomach and yet very healthy and tasty.

Do give these recipes a try and let me know in the comment section how much did you liked it. Also, let me know in the comment section what is your favorite recipe that you prefer during summer.

Hello everyone! Summer is already here and we all are preparing ourselves in our best way to deal with it. Some of us may enjoy summer but some may not. I count myself in the latter. Well, it is not exactly that I don't like summer at all, but it is this unbearable heat that makes me irritated. I guess the summer nowadays are pretty different from what we enjoyed when we were young. The rising temperatures and irregular season cycles, because of Global Warming, is really effecting everything around us. We should do our best to makes this world a better place not for us but for upcoming generations also.

Coming back to point about my situation in summers. I try my best not to go outside to avoid the scorching sun and make my home a cool and tranquil place which calms me and relaxes my senses. In this video, I have shared my way of welcoming summer and making my home cozy during this season. Afterall, home is where our heart is! So, I hope this video will help/motivate you to bring out the best and deal with summer in your own way. And yes, if you have plants at home and/or garden, do take care of them as well. They also need to survive well in this season.

Utility area is often the most neglected section of the house. Atleast this has been in my case for such a long time and I regret for that. In this video, I will show you how to bring the best out of your utility area with plants in a minimalistic way. I have arranged my utility area with all the essential elements it need and also with some of my favorite indoor plants. This is a plant based décor and yet highly functional one. Hope this video would be useful for you all. 

Also, I have shared a quick, tasty and healthy breakfast recipe here in this video. For detailed written recipe, please visit:
