Description
The cheeseir the better.. this is apt for me any day. I just go head over heels with any thing that’s served with cheese. Any restaurant or fast food joint I go to, when I am asked do you want to add extra cheese? I automatically say yes with out Shame. At times when I have my health freak daughter near me, the look that she gives me … I immediately turn away as I want to hide my face. Here is one recipe I tried when I was craving for oozing melted cheese. I added mixed herbs to pop up the flavour to the dish. Served it as a starter and I could not believe my health freak veggie daughter herself was gobbling it up with out having a control over herself. A true sign of the dish winning over any one.
Serve the same to your loved once and see how insanely they eat it being their own selves.
