It is always fun to play memes as they make you think and wonder who you are & what you like. 'Four Foods On Friday' is one such weekly meme where you basically have to answer four food-based fun questions. :)

..and here are this week's questions:

1. What’s your favorite flavor of yogurt?

My favorites change seasonally. ;) With spring almost there, I am in mood to have a 'Strawberry Yogurt'.

2. Got a recipe for a smoothie?

Banana-Peach smoothie: Blend in sliced bananas with peaches, milk, vanilla extract and honey! Yummy :)

3. Got a recipe for split pea soup?

Split peas are commonly used in Indian cooking and on cold, lazy evenings, a bowl of warm split pea soup works wonders. Here is one keeper recipe from 101 Cookbooks.

4. What’s your favorite kind of pudding?

I love Banana pudding the best.

Here are this week's questions...

1) American cheese. Sliced fresh or prepackaged processed cheese product?

I love love 'cheese' of any form and type. and prefer pre-packaged American cheese singles as they are easy to store and manage. Pop in a slice of American cheese between two toasted bread slices.. Vollah.. U have an amazing Cheese Sandwich!!

2) What is your favorite cracker?

My favorite cracker is CROSTINI flavored with some garlic, hummus and bell peppers.. yummy..!! These a little Italian bread toasts usually served as appetizers. For a simple crostini recipe, click here.

3) What hot breakfast cereal do you like? Think oatmeal, farina, grits, etc.

I prefer having some apple-cinnamon oatmeal and cornflakes with hot milk as my breakfast..:D
