As I write this, I am currently 5 days in to what is (and always has been) by far one of my favourite months of the year – Ramadan. Ramadan, as you may or may not know is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, but more importantly it is the holy month of…
I’m Back!
Posted Jul 20 2012 5:08pm Okay, I will admit it. I’ve been absent, yet again. But this time, I had a pretty good excuse… As of yesterday afternoon, I am finally, and officially a graduate! The past 4 years have given me the experience of a lifetime. It wasn’t always easy – I’ve had my…
Healthy Eating Tips: On-the-Job
When I left you last, I attributed my recent absence on the blog (in part) to my new internship here in Bahrain. I’m absolutely loving every minute of it, but between a hectic working schedule, and trying to see as much of my friends and family while were all in the same place at the…
Banana Date Breakfast Muffins
In my short time as a wannabe vegan chef, I’ve found that while people are often surprised at how good certain dishes taste, nothing has the power to mystify an average joe/jane more than a stellar vegan baked good. Exhibit A: my picky, junk-food loving roommate was a primary taste tester for all my baking…

3-Bean Vegan Burgers and Talking Plant-Based Protein
Hello, from the desert island Kingdom of Bahrain, once again. I’ve had a really great week in London (tales of which will be shared soon), but boarded yesterday’s plane home sufficiently exhausted. Who knew relaxing could be so taxing! Moving on, it’s finally time to address what is without a doubt the number one question…
Express Post: The Adjustable Vegan
Hello, and a happy jubilee from the nation’s capital! This post is very aptly named as I am currently writing from an express train to central London (thanks to the wonder that is on-board wifi). Since I left you last, I’ve managed to pack away my life into boxes, (which are now hopefully en route…
Gluten Free Muesli Mix
This is the sound of freedom. Can you hear it? Yes, I did just quote Bob Sinclar , but with good reason. As of 11:15 AM yesterday, I was officially relieved of any and all of my academic duties as an undergraduate student. Of course, my results are still pending and my actual graduation ceremony isn’t for…
