Hi there, I hope you are well. Maida or refined flour doesn't take time to get digested which means it can raise your blood sugar levels quickly, and eventually you will feel hungry soon, it cannot keep you full for long. However, personally, as a qualified nutritionist and Dietitian, I'd not like to group foods as good or bad but rather healthy, and unhealthy. Yes, maida shouldn't be consumed in a regular basis, and you can consume it once in a week, for any one meal, either lunch or dinner , and not both :) excessive intake is to be avoided as it can lead to weight gain, skin issues, digestive issues at a later stage.

Good Morning Folks 🤗 Happy Winter 🥶❄️ Let's talk about what's the favourite things of yours about winter? आपको सर्दी के मौसम में क्या करना सबसे ज़्यादा पसंद है? I love snuggling with a cosy book and eat a lot of cakes.

You could make her favorite omelette with a side of crispy bacon or sausage, making her some homemade pancakes with fresh berries and whipped cream, fresh fruit salad, warm croissants with jam, and a freshly brewed pot of her favorite coffee or tea. It's sure to make her feel appreciated and loved!❣️

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and what is a better way to show your love and appreciation for your mom than with a delicious cake?
Anonymous13d
I prefer homemade cake. because of her health concern
Hi there, I hope you are well. -You can gift her a bouquet, book a spa session for her, take her for a movie, have lunch/dinner with her. Gift her a dress that she can wear on that day, you can pick a colour that she likes, and if it fits in your budget, you can even gift her a diamond ring or a nice gold chain ✨ - You can even cook for her,sing for her, and give her a good head massage. -I personally feel, everyday is mother's day! they need to be celebrated every single day. I hope this helps! take care ✨✨

Hey, I'm on a mission to bake the perfect cake for Mother's Day! Considering my mom's taste buds, what cake recipe would you recommend? I want to create something that reflects her personality and brings a big smile to her face. Any thoughts on flavors, decorations, or special touches.

You can bake her favorite flavor cake. use beautiful flowers or your moms photo to decorate it. add some sprinkles, gems, chocolates to make it more tasty.

I've been daydreaming about turning my passion for baking into something more concrete, like starting a home bakery. The thing is, I'm not quite sure where to begin. I'd love to hear about your experiences or any advice you might have on pursuing this path. From navigating legalities to building a customer base, it seems like there's a lot to figure out, and I'm eager to learn from those who've been there. What challenges did you face, and what steps did you take to establish your home bakery? I'm excited about the idea, but a bit lost on the practicalities.
It's great you want to begin new biz! to begin with get yourself an FSSAI registration. it costs v little but adds to your credibility. as you expand you can also go for an FSSAI license. do you already sell to friends, family , neighbours? that's a good starting point to figure out what your clientele would like and the price points. check out your competition. neighborhood bakeries or other home bakers. try to figure out what items will make you different. you can start with doing a bake sale maybe at a local event and offering tasting samples there as well. collect the names of people who come there and buy and make a small list to reach out to. emphasize on your quality and build.a social media presence with their reviews. this would be a good starting place for you I think. also think about how you will finance the biz, whether it will be a sole proprietorship or any other form and work out these formalities with a CA. s product , marketing, finance and legalities are your start

Did you ever find yourself in a situation where you had to tell your boss why there were Cheerios in your work bag? Like, maybe you were rushing out the door in the morning and grabbed your kid's snack container by mistake? It can be pretty funny trying to explain to your boss why you have kiddie snacks mixed in with your important work stuff. So, have you ever had to have that conversation with your boss?
Thankfully not
