Breakfast

The breakfast recipes include a decadent Coconut French Toast with Chocolate Chips and a comforting Homemade Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream. These dishes are easy to prepare and perfect for a leisurely weekend morning. The combination of sweet and creamy flavors will make your breakfast feel like a special treat.

Lunch

For lunch, we're diving into South Indian cuisine with a Raw Mango Coconut Curry and a Spicy Roasted Yam Curry. These dishes are paired with the flaky and delicious Malabar Parotta and a refreshing Palak Raita (Spinach Yogurt Salad). The tangy and spicy flavors of these dishes complement each other perfectly, making for a satisfying and balanced meal.

Dinner

Dinner takes us to Mexico with Baked Cheese Stuffed Chilies (Poblano Chili Rellenos) and Mexican Tacos filled with Refried Beans and Fresh Summer Salad. To end the day on a sweet note, we've included a Tres Leches Cake, a traditional Mexican dessert soaked in three types of milk. This meal plan not only offers a variety of flavors but also ensures you're getting a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats.
