The good thing during my grocery shopping is having my hubby with me. He keeps suggesting to pick up things that would help me in my blogging. But always advices me to buy in small quantities so that nothing remains excess and goes waste. He suggests me many ingredients or dishes that he had come across on his outings with his friends.
He sometimes go crazy over few things and request to me to prepare them back at home. Last time I remembered he was asking me to make falooda. As an instant fix, I bought a ready mix available in the shop along with that I got a couple of tutti frutti packs for decorating it and also bought an ice cream.
Before that, I made these muffins for my cousins during a regular visit to my Aunt’s home. My aunt’s younger son who is in primary school, asks me for a cake, the moment he sees me. Since the visit was unplanned and considering the time factor, I prepared Muffins to finish the job easier in 20 minutes.
