CHEESE, PISTACHIO AND VEGGIE  BURGER.

For me , the idea of a picnic is to meet up with friends, be with nature, away from the crowded eating places that we go through everyday.. this is for  brunch
We picnic, trend on with updates, listen to some music, snap some photos , eat some food and then, we go off  to Metro at The Curve for shopping around Mont Kiara... and finally, here, we have some latte.. Happy Sunday for us- bye till we meet again :)

Petals on the grass by the hundreds of thousands- everywhere

Cheese burger with pistachio, veggies and kiwi fruit

Ingredients:

Burger buns

Kiwi fruit slices

Eggplant slices- pan fried
( a form of frying using minimal cooking oil or fat, just enough  to lubricate the pan- cover with a lid, for better heat retention)

Cheddar cheese slices

Salad varieties- like coral and oak leaf salad / endive and iceberg lettuce

Lemon pepper seasoning The health benefits of Pistachios:

Pistachio nuts are one of the healthiest snacks and is cholesterol free . It contains more lutein and beta carotene than most other nuts.

Beta carotene converts into vitamin A which can help prevent certain cancers. 

Lutein is important for healthy skin and for good vision

A handful of pistachios daily can  help destroy the bad cholesterol, shy away heart diseases and prevent certain cancers. 

The health benefits of green vegetables and kiwi fruits are of course, they are rich in vitamin c, anti oxidants and fiber
