We should all have a go-to detox drink. That wonderful elixir we turn to when we need to lose a pound or two of water weight. Days when we feel bloated, or our eating has gone slightly off track. Or simply days when we just need to feel we’re doing something intrinsically good for our bodies. This is a…… Continue reading The Best Detox Green Smoothie
Nothing says summer like tree-ripened peaches scattered across local farmer markets in Toronto. They are not quite fully in season yet, nor has summer fully arrived. But I just couldn’t resist buying the first basket of peaches I came across. Peaches, nectarines and plums (all from the same family) are some of my favorite fruits. Some people…… Continue reading Life is Peachy
Am on a continuous search for an amazing pizza crust that’s naturally gluten free. Pizza is at the cornerstone of my evening cravings, and making pizza at home with the kids has now become a little family tradition. I posted a recipe last month (April Archives) on a blended rice flour and tapioca pizza crust. Well,…… Continue reading Crumble-Proof Cauliflower Pizza Crust
The other day someone emailed me asking about the caloric content in my smoothies. I had to politely explain that I truly don’t have that information available, nor do I want to pursue that route. Not because I don’t want to enter the ingredients into an app that will calculate it for me… But because…… Continue reading Healthy Fats Stage a Comeback: Avocado Green Smoothie
I’m half Middle Eastern; my father comes from a line of Palestinian Roman Catholics who immigrated to Central America almost 80 years ago. As a young girl, food was always a big family affair and the epicenter of all our gatherings. We would always enjoy a big family meal on Sundays, and by “big” I mean it felt…… Continue reading Tamari Almonds Mujadara Rice
I found myself struggling to find an adjective that would best describe this particular smoothie… There weren’t a shortage of them, no- that wasn’t the problem. In fact, I had an overload of words that came to my mind. Indulgent, Heavenly, Delightful Creamy, Perfect, Decadent… I ended up settling for the first word that came…… Continue reading Superfood Me: Goji Berries, Kiwi, Strawberry & Banana
This was a “Cinco de Mayo” inspired drink, but I should perhaps start by stating there’s no alcohol involved… Sorry! On the upside, this smoothie is nothing short of awesome. You will find yourself entirely consumed by it’s tropical taste and citrusy sweetness. It tastes very similar to a strawberry limeade, but with a creamy,…… Continue reading Happy Cinco! A Strawberry Margarita Cocktail
Kale and I weren’t always on friendly terms. I still remember my first introduction to this amazing leafy green (with a well-publicized superfood reputation)… It came in the form of an overpriced drink at a well-known organic juice bar on the East end of the city. Simply put; it tasted like lawn, and smelled like…… Continue reading Kale Is The New Black
I have been infatuated with ceviche for as long as I can remember. It has my heart. I was meant to be born & raised in the Tropics just to get an early introduction to this deliciously simple & healthy dish. Am not even kidding. I guess my love for all-things food stems from the…… Continue reading Shrimp Ceviche with Kale & Pico de Gallo
