MBP - Something Sweet (Round Up) and MBP June

After going through soooooooo many sweet posts, for the fear of getting Diabetis, I wanted something which was Cheeni Kum (something with less sugar! ) ;) It’s an awesome movie!!! Not worth missing at all, especially if you are an Amitabh fan!!!!! The title is, because its a sugar free love story. No mushy romance, no……. hold on!!!!! Why am I doing a movie review??!!!! If you want to, check out the movie review here, while I move on with my Cheeni Zyada (Full of sugar) post……… ;)

Before we move on, lets talk about our June theme as well. A lot of you guys were ready to hammer me for helping you put on some weight gorging on those wonderful sweets. ;) So how about ‘Going Lite’ this time??!!! :) Yup, thats the theme for June.

With spiring all around its a wonderful time to munch on those salads and churn out some flavourful soups from fresh veggies or cook up some lite meal. So patrol all around the blogsphere and come up with these lite goodies, as we are ‘Going Lite’ this month!!! :)
Send my your details as mentioned here, by 20th June and I will post a round up by 1st July!! :)
