Sure, it’s almost the end of 2020 and I’m just posting a recipe for a banana bread. Not exactly… I made a few other banana breads earlier this year, mostly mixed in with other toppings and flavours. Like my Vegan Walnut Banana Bread and Pumpkin Chocolate Banana Bread (also vegan!). […]

Tabouleh
Tabouleh! Have you ever had it? It’s one of my favourite childhood dishes. A Middle Eastern salad, originating from Syria/Lebanon, this may be one of the only salads I enjoyed eating as a kid. It’s a sweet, fresh, and herby nutritious salad, filled with bulgur and greens. Tabouleh was an […]
Pumpkin Kibbeh Tray (Kibbet Elyaateen)
One of my favourite things about making the transition towards a plant-based diet is that I get to recreate recipes from back home in vegan form. There are a lot of delicious traditional Arabic dishes that I often crave when I miss home. Most of which typically contain meat (like […]
Hasselback Potatoes
Any potato lovers out here? I personally could go for potatoes every day and not get bored. There are so many ways to have them. They’re such a versatile vegetable! These Hasselback Potatoes make a great addition to your Thanksgiving table this year. With little work, and a lot of […]
Pumpkin Pasta Bake
I enjoy potlucks. Maybe a little too much. It’s only because the potlucks I usually go to are with friends from different cultures. So I get to try food from all around the world, right from one table. There have been less potlucks this year than before (understandably), so when […]
Pumpkin Apple “Timbits”
Have you tried Timbits before? They’re bite-sized doughnut balls that are sold at a Canadian Fast Food chain called Tim Hortons. One of the first places I ate and drank at when I first moved to Canada – 12 years ago! Since starting my journey towards a plant-based diet, I […]
“Sushi” Yalanji Bites
No, this isn’t really sushi. Yes, this is just Yalanji. Like the Mahshi Yalanji I shared back during the Canadian Thanksgiving Holiday. They’re actually the same ones I made back then. I wanted to dedicate another post for the same recipe, to show how it can serve as both an […]

Here’s a quick video: Packed in protein and fibre, these brownies make a great Halloween treat! To help them puff up in the oven, I […]
Pumpkin Apple Smoothie Cups
I make smoothies a lot. Most are quick and plain, just to feed my body some nutrients. But sometimes I like to add a little touch of season into them. Like these Pumpkin Apple Smoothie Cups. I have been experimenting with pumpkin this year more than before, and thought it […]
Fasouliyeh Stew
What meals do you like to cozy up on when it’s chilly out? For me, I love a rich comforting tomato stew. I remember having a Fasouliyeh (Beans) Stew a lot when I was younger, especially during the colder weather. My mom used to make it with little beef chunks. […]
Sweet Broccoli Wings
I’ve always loved broccoli. Mainly in stir fry’s. But I’ve never thought I’d wing them up. Funny thing…I winged this recipe. I had a head of broccoli that was about to go bad and didn’t feel like making a stir fry. I was also craving something sweet but savoury. And […]
