A collection of 26 Protein Rich Recipes

We have been enjoying  Mega Marathons since a few years now . April and September are the two months when we post everyday , except for Sunday’s . We have different themes for these Mega Marathons and some of them are quite challenging , but definitely fun. They become challenging when a clause is added to these. We secretly wish for no clause but when given love it. Valli always comes up with some super ideas and the theme is decided after a mutal consent. Let me share some of the previous Mega Marathon themes .

April 2014 –  A Re -cap of The Indian Food Odyssey……A Journey of 30 Indian States

September 2014 – Re Cap of Around the World in 30 Days

April 2015 – Re cap of Fire up Your Oven April Baking Mega Marathon

September 2015 – Recap – Buffet on Table

April 2016 – A to Z , 26 Traditional Sindhi Sweets

September 2016 – The Sandwich Festival…over 40 Sandwiches ! – Recap of Cooking Carnival 2016

April 2017 – A – Z Baking around the World – Re-cap,26 Egg less Cakes!

 

This September has been a great month where our team has been posting Protein Rich Recipes . The theme Protein Rich was decided a few months back and as usual I started with preparations right away . I divided my themes into five weeks , though the first week had only two days .

For the first two days I posted Kebabs , and served them with different flatbreads to make it a complete meal . The second week was a Biryani Week , where Protein Rich Biryanis were posted , the third week featured Salads and I made sure each salad was made with a different ingredient which was a high source of protein . The salads were followed by protein Rich Recipes with Nuts and Seeds . We all know that they are a great protein source . The last and the final week I chose to post traditional Indian Thalis , where I carefully selected a menu which had almost all protein dishes , yet complimented each other . This was my favourite week as I could showcase that our Indian meals , if planned well will give us a balanced diet and we need not indulge into those protein powders .

 

And now a recap of Protein Rich Recipes , September 2017
