Oats with a very merry berry compote
If you follow me on Instagram you already know about my slight obssession with overnight oats. What’s there not to like: they are creamy, high in fiber, low in fat if you’re into that and topped with a berry compote they are just so easy to eat up on busy mornings. When I’m feeling hungrier […]
My pre-holiday go-to salad
I don’t know if it’s because the holidays are right around the corner and I’m already imagining myself indulging in too many canapes, cheese plates, desserts and glasses of wine, but I feel the need to get some greens and light dinners in my system right now. Luckily, there are a ton of great recipes […]
Piquant coconut cauliflower rice
The fam and I just came back from an awesome extra long week end in Goa that totally awakened our senses. The lively colors, the bustling sounds of the market, the relaxing ones from the beach and of course, the mouth-watering smell of chai masala, Indian curries, biryanis and sweet chutneys that made us hungry […]
Exceptionally good tarragon chicken
My mom used to make this exceptional dish regularly when I was a child and I still remember licking my saucy plate when nobody was looking. It was that good. And I was that shameless when it came to delicious food. Tarragon is not a commonly used herb in the Middle East but you can […]
It’s-all-in-the-pantry fish cakes
Is it me or does back-to-school frenzy feel like it was yesterday and is Christmas shopping season imminent? Life’s been busy and as you’ve noticed, my time spent testing new recipes and eating my way through new healthy trendy foods has been reduced to sipping matcha lattes from the Starbucks drive-thru. So today I share […]
Besan chilla or Amazing Indian chickpea pancakes
As some of you know, I’ve recently gone back to work and I love it. It’s a buzzing little office, we’re about 15 happy campers, from all over the world, everyone is so nice and funny….and they are all foodies. Which means there is mucho recipe inspiration going around. Just the other day, my boss […]
Stunning caramelized bananas
This dessert falls into the minimum time, maximum effect bucket as far as I am concerned, so it’s perfect for those last minute dinner parties. Add a dollop of thick yogurt or ice cream and tada, you’re done in 5 minutes. But there’s more. It ticks the gluten and processed sugar free boxes I live […]
Dangerous peanut butter & dark chocolate oaties
Being an ex-peanut butter addict, I need to be careful when I make these cookies as I can’t be fully trusted. They bring me back to my childhood, when my best friend and I would sneak to the grocery store to get a bunch of Reese’s peanut butter cups and eat them in her garage, […]
Shredded chicken spinach salad with date dressing
I’m not sure what’s the best part of this shredded chicken spinach salad with date dressing, the salad or the dressing. All I know is that it’s made it into my weekly menu for 3 weeks in a row and it’s not going away anytime soon. For those of you find it hard to incorporate […]
Quickie weekend breakfast biscuits
I like to leave bread baking to bakers. But once in a while on weekends, when I feel the itch to make something doughy and warm to serve for breakfast – that won’t require much effort – I make these. They are North America’s answer to scones and are traditionally called “baking powder biscuits”. Why […]
