Jihva - Wedding Feasts Round-up

Dear foodies,

Finally, the much delayed and promised round-up is here. I thank all you of who made time to cook a recipe dear to your heart and write about your memories and stories. I feel guilty for not having done justice to them by presenting the round up earlier. It was great to read all the blog posts and also the comments and good wishes left here on my blog while I went MIA. I hope the wonderful delicacies below, and the lovely stories around them will appease you :)So without further ado, I present you the round-up. There is a link at the bottom of the images stating the name of the dish and the link to the recipe. Bon Appetit!

Sunday Snacks -Spill the Beans Round up

Dear foodies,

I know I've been MIA, guilty as charged, more so because I've greedily kept some really scrumptious snacks away from you. Far back in July I requested you to come up with snack ideas using beans. Spill the beans, is what I named it, and that's exactly what you did. I got many lovely recipes from you to kick away the snack cravings. Thank you! But before I leave you with a list that will have you rushing to grab a snack, check out the current Sunday Snacks -Snacks with bread, hosted by Priya of Easy & Tasty Recipes.
