Life has become so mundane these days due to the current uncertain times that there is hardly any excitement to look forward to. Just thought of adding some fun to the boring life by participating in the AtoZChallenge. A lot of my friends were doing this challenge on some facebook groups and though I was motivated to take up the challenge, I was a little skeptical initially as wasn’t sure if I would be able to make it, I mean thinking about a new item everyday that too alphabetically 😜

So here I am on the seventh day of the challenge and doing good so far. Kids are happy that they get to eat something exciting everyday. Also I must mention they are enjoying clicking pictures. So today I am on alphabet G and couldn’t think of anything better and easier than Garlic bread. Just added a twist by twisting them into knots 😉 Everyone loves it at home.
