I love the traditional carrot cake very much topped with cream cheese frosting,but somehow none at home arent that much fan of carrot cakes. They can have it just like that if i insist them, this time when i prepared this carrot chocolate chips cakes, trust me they just vanished within few hours coz this cake turned out extremely spongy and its completely sugar free coz i used thick palm jaggery syrup for making this cake. Also this cake is low fat coz i skipped completely butter here as i went for oil and yogurt.

Just a manual hand beater is enough to make this incredible bake, finely grated carrots and chocolate chips works extremely pect for making this ultimate spongy cake.Chocolate chips at every bite of this cake will definitely makes the difference, since i went for palm jaggery syrup you can enjoy this cake thoroughly without any guilt. I used flaxseed meal as egg substitute here,if you are searching for a simple spongy cake for your evening snacks,you have to make this cake.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#33.Sending this cake to my event  Healthy Diet - Fat Free Recipes guest host by Dhanish.Sending to Srivallis Cake Mela.

One pot meals are always welcome at our place,if i feel like lazy ill go definitely and immediately to a quick one pot meal.Am starting again my third week of blogging marathon today and the theme is Kids delight -Lunch box special. Fortunately i dont need to prepare lunch boxes for my kids as they come back home to have their lunch. Yep their schools are just 5-6minutes from our home by walk and they come everyday to have their lunch. In case if there is something urgent, they will eat in their school canteen or ill wrap them a sandwich. So obviously i dont need to break my head for their lunch, eventhough as am a health nut i try to feed them with healthy stuffs.

For my todays post, i quickly cooked up this flavourful,easy breezy rice with grated carrots,sweet corns and chickpeas. As i told earlier, i always have cooked or already soaked chickpeas in my freezer,so that i can add this nutritious legumes in my cooking quite often whenever i feel like having them. Coming to this rice, i just added my kids favourite veggies and chickpeas and this rice tastes fabulous with fryums or hard boiled eggs.Check out the bloggers running this 24th edition of blogging marathon here.Sending to Caroles Food on Friday-Corn.
