A Healthy & Appealing Snack: Who says veggies are boring?

Boiled Vegetables rightly done with the condiment of your choice is the best and healthiest snack you could think of. Boiled, colored vegetables are a source of all the minerals and vitamins that lack in a regular junkies routine. I love it most when the veggies are a random colorful mixture. Some greens with the carbohydrate rich potatoes and carotene rich carrots are a great mix. They taste best when taken with a sour garlic condiment or a home-made sauce made with mayonnaise and some lemon juice.

Squares of cheddar cheese with sprinkles of mozzarella. The chicken chunks are K&N's chunks available from the market. The pizza base is home made.  

 It is always a better idea to use home-made tomato puree instead of ketchup as a spread. The pizza tastes much better and yummier this way!

 This pizza may not appear to be very cheesy but it tasted as delicious as anything. Yum!

Olives! More Olives!! Yayy. A very olive-ee pizza.

Beef Pepper Fajita: How to make Beef Pepper Fajita

I will be posting the recipe for Beef Pepper Fajita soon. It tastes just like beef pepper steak and is very delicious indeed. Better than beef pepper steak because you don't have to cut it into smaller pieces while eating! Beef is already in bite-size form.
This is eaten with longitudinal buns (hamburger buns) or whatever way you like.
