If you follow me on Instagram (or any other social media for that matter), you’ll know that I got the chance to visit Malaysia last September. Having already ticked Bali and Nepal off my South East Asia travel bucket list, I was super excited to plan for this trip. Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures…
Crunchy Kale and Apple Salad
2016? Already? Normally I would attempt to justify my long hiatus with a barrage of excuses somewhere along the lines of a demanding job and an overflowing social calendar (thank you, wedding season), but this time I will do no such thing. Instead I will offer a rationale so simple and convincing that it will be impossible…
Za’atar Rubbed Baked Eggplant
Let’s be honest, eggplants aren’t for everyone. Some people find them too slimy or too seedy in texture, and others find its earthy, rooty flavour downright offensive. I personally prefer not to associate with such people. Alright, alright, I kid. I of course have several friends (and even a boss/business partner) of the eggplant-hating persuasion, and…

That said, this post and subsequent review have actually been a long time coming. Enough mindless chatter – let’s get down to business….
Lemon Chia Seed Mufins
Close your eyes. Imagine the gentle scent of citrus wafting up to greet you, warm, welcoming and somehow reminiscent of times past. A bite follows – an airy, delicately sweetened morsel, zesty and studded with just the right amount of subtle crunch. Are you there yet? These muffins were a result of a last ditch…
Sweet Potato and Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
As far as religious holidays go, I would say I’m always down for the count. Take Ramadan for instance; as difficult as I found fasting this year, there’s just something undeniably wonderful about the spirit of togetherness that it brings. The calm and peaceful serenity of a slower pace, breaking fast with family every day…
Quinoa Confetti Salad
Where in the world would I be without meal prep? Hungry, crabby, and the chronic victim of an unproductive work-day, most likely. All jokes aside, meal prepping has for some time now been at the crux of my routine. Between early morning workouts, an unpredictable work schedule and some semblance of a social life, I’m not…
