Here, in Dubai, during weekends, we plan regular get-together with our family members staying in Dubai/Sharjah.I have  2 of my cousins staying here ,my brother  and my brother-in-law too are here. So, Whenever somebody is coming home for the weekend, especially my Brother-in-law and his family with their Cute LiL Brat, i try to bake something healthy for him and kuttu. 

For One Such Get-together last week, i made them these Fruit-Power Packed Muffins, i packed some for Kuttu's School Snack Box too, he enjoyed them a lot.
