I’ve been contemplating writing this blogpost for some time, for different reasons. One of which is the constantly asked question I’ve been getting ‘how did you lose all that weight?’. I honestly felt the subject was quite personal. I would usually just say I’ve changed my eating habits, which is true but quite vague in…
New Year’s in Dubai
It’s no secret that 2020 was a tough year on us all, with its ups & downs and probably more downs than ups, I definitely wanted to end my year with a memorable UP! So my friends and I planned a quick last minute trip to Dubai, which we were lucky to have it go…
Homemade Tacos
Celebrating this taco Tuesday the right way! Went all out preparing and cooking FOUR DIFFERENT tacos today! This was part of a challenge that I had to post, so was quite tight on timings and had to work with specific ingredients, some of which I would’ve liked to maybe change.. will talk about that later…
Sausage Pepper Jack Breakfast SUBS!
This is another time a meal starts with bread for me! I bought this amazing brioche bread from Sunny Market and it all went from there. Spread some butter with dry thyme, and stuffed it with a pepper jack & sausage omelette. Another great thing about this recipe is that all you need is one…

SLOPPY O’s – Homemade
Just made these yummy sloppy joe’s (or Sloppy O’s as I decided to call them). A classic diner treat, which never disappoints! This is a super easy recipe, that can work for brunch or a road trip, and doesn’t really take much time to make. Start off with adding ground beef with finely chopped onions…
Breakfast moussaka
You may or may not know this, but I’m a HUGE fan of eggplant-based dishes! Whether it’s as simple as a baba ghanoush dip, or a classic Egyptian household dish like MOUSSAKA (مسقعة)! I always thought eggplants can work with or add to any dish, and this recipe definitely proves that! I’m bringing it to…
Fried Chicken Sandwich
Do you ever have one of those days when you start thinking of something so insignificant and small, that leads to one thing and you end up with something way bigger? Have I lost you yet? 🙂 Good. Well for me, that little thing was as small as an ingredient, smoked paprika! I’ve kind of…
Mango FIESTA
I recently got these AMAZING mangoes from Shahin’s Farm. They were so good I just had to get a little creative with the way I’ll eat them. I usually cut the peels into cubes or slice them into strips, this time I thought I’d a bit more. Now these recipes are SUPER easy, and don’t…
Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I recently got some chicken breasts from a new meat & poultry store as part of their campaign to promote their products. I thought I’d go with something oven-baked, as that’s how I usually like to eat chicken, as it has all its juices and perfectly retains the flavors added to it. I also had…
