By , September 20, 2020

This is a great dish that Mr. B and I like to eat for breakfast, although they were originally introduced to me as a dessert. We bake them with the skin on, which acts like a jacket to keep the moisture in, in addition to giving you your much-needed fiber. Eating them with the skin

‘Whenever you doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower. Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty.’ The lotus root flower is so beautiful. It symbolises purity and perfection in both the Hindu and Buddhist philosophies. As the
