Hi everyone! Today, I’m sharing my first recipe of 2017, and I couldn’t be more excited. If you’ve been following me for a while, you should know by now that I love exploring all sorts of culinary eats, treats, and sweets. I’ve dabbled in Indian cuisine, tried vegan recipes, and, due to my heritage, have […]
It’s one of the most beloved dishes in Persian cuisine. And yet few people make it on a regular basis. Why? Because it takes practically an entire day to make! Fesenjoon is classic, yet very time consuming dish, so time-consuming that as a child (and an adult), my grandmother would often come visit from Iran […]
Happy Monday everyone! Today, I’ve got a great recipe I’m super excited to share with you. I’ll admit for the last few months weeks I was definitely in a food rut. When you follow a restrictive diet (and by restrictive, I don’t mean hungry or anything, but rather something that’s limited in terms of the […]
Hey everyone! I rarely get around to posting on a Sunday (or the weekend in general). But I came across some free time and decided to let you in on a little secret recipe I’ve been working on all winter long. I know it’s spring and the weather is finally getting better and the last […]
I don’t know about you (literally, I don’t), but when the mood strikes me right, there’s almost nothing better than getting into my kitchen and baking some new and healthy treats! So today, I’ve got a super simple recipe for the easiest carrot muffins ever. Before I get into the nitty gritty of things, let’s […]
Okay, so maybe meatball Friday doesn’t actually exist. I just wanted an excuse for a fun pun. I feel like whenever I don’t know what to make, meatballs are my total savoir and go-to. I’m pretty sure that I’ve made them just about every which way possible. I’ve made Asian meatballs, Italian meatballs, gluten-free meatballs, and […]
It’s a couple of weeks into 2015, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve had trouble sticking to your resolution of eating healthy and getting fit this year. That’s why I’ve revamped one of my favorite dessert recipes into a healthy food you can indulge in—on occasion that is. This is my personal take on […]
According to Wikipedia, “Kofta…is an Afghani, Azerbijanian, Balkan, Pakistani, Israeli, Indian, Iranian, Arab, and Turkish meatball or meatloaf.” Who knew that such a scrumptious meatball variation has been hiding in the Middle East for all this time?! Kofta (also spelled kufteh or koofteh) is by far one of my favorite Iranian foods. Not only is it […]
Happy Thursday everyone! I don’t know about you, but every day I try to be thankful for something. And lately, I’ve been soooo thankful for the great weather we’ve been having. Almost nothing is better than being able to drive around with the windows down! Another great quality about spring is the abundance of fresh […]
Happy Thursday everyone! I know I’ve been posting so many smoothie recipes lately, but the weather has been so nice and I can’t resist blending up one green concoction after another. Today’s recipe actually isn’t mine at all, but comes from my friend Bryan DiSanto and his site Lean It UP. I’ve been a fan of […]
