    It fascinates me how perfectly do we see fresh produce available just in time of the right season. As you all know, how scorching the summer sun is getting, I am feeling a little laid back in the kitchen. Don't you feel the same? The other day I entered Whole Foods and I saw these fresh bunch of Rainbow Carrots and Rainbow Chards. Instantly I knew, what I am making for dinner. Ajay is not a huge fan of Salads basically all greens. Feeding him greens is a task for me trust me and if you don't know who Ajay is, he is the husband.

    I become a very reluctant cook when in times of summers. Being from Gujarat, most of my life I have been exposed to a lot of heat so probably California sun is still soothing for me. I often wonder how the women of the family managed to whip up a huge meal twice a day for family of 10.

    I can literally live on salads and refreshing fruit juices in summers. It lets my body stay cool and mind a peaceful place. There is no space for laziness and lethargy in there , unless I decide to deep clean my three floored home, missing how easy it was to clean my one bedroom apartment. This is exactly what women do, its an irony of every man's life.

    What Are Chards?

    Chards are a variety of beets family, although they don't have a huge root. They are big leafy vegetables with thick juicy stalks. Chards are usually used in salads or cooked as vegetables. They are juicy and have a lot of water and fiber content and consumption of these during summers help our bodies to keep hydrated naturally.
