This children’s day we asked few moms to make kids cook and try out some healthy recipes. We offcourse love when kids enter into kitchen and create their own magical recipes. Here is one from #NMMContest where Kavita and her son Hriday share the recipe with us in detail.
So the story is that Hriday (my elder one – 11 yr + and a die hard foodie, can tell the taste of food with the smell of food) wanted to have spaghetti for a long long time, but I was not able to make it but as soon as he saw ad for this competition he offered to cook this with me 
So here we are, though my kids eat non-veg we don’t make it in front of my in-laws. So we decided to make spaghetti with veggies. And here’s quick recap of the ingredients and the recipe.
