Summer Moroccan Salad
Gosh, already one week down of Ramadan. This year’s fast is going quite well – I’m less productive than usual but I don’t let it go to my head so much. The month usually goes by so fast, so I’m glad I’m doing my best at still acomplishing all the tasks I need to do. It’s quite hot in Montreal lately, meaning I have been craving fresh salads and fruits more and more. So thought I’d be sharing this with you! I grew up in Morocco where having tomatoes at home is like having bread or water: it is just so obvious. I also thought everyone else in the world…
The Best Brownies
Guys. These brownies were the bomb. Thinking about it, I have probably made brownies one or twice at most in my life. I always get flashbacks of nice childhood memories whenever I eat some, as my mom used to (and still) does make an incredible recipe. These brownies I made are soft, moist, and just the perfect brownies texture. I also added some chocolate chunks, and when they melt the brownies become gooey and all 😍 Ok, I really need to some being too graphic, and get straight to the recipe! Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup softened…
Beefless Ground Dish
Even though I’m not a vegan, I love to eat plant based proteins and I try to have a varied diet as much as possible 😊 Beefless ground is one of my favorite substitutes, so full of flavor, filling, and it mixes well with pretty much everything!

Ingredients: – 3 medium carrots – 2 1/4 cup soy protein – 1 medium white onion – 1 1/2 cup garden leas – 1 tbsp of vegetable oil – 6 tbsp + 1/4 cup of water – 1 tbsp tomato paste –…
Coffee Pancakes
When it comes to tea or coffee, I cannot chose a side. I equally love both. I’m inclusive. A few weeks ago I made a coffee cake and it ended up so so good. So I decided to continue involving coffee in my dishes and wenr for a pancake recipe. Cause one dose of coffee in the morning ain’t enough, you see.

Gingerbread Christmas Cookies
Oh my! It’s been ages since I’ve last posted here. Currently writing my proposal and gosh it’s been a tiring process. But I’m almost there so I should be soon back on track and posting more regularly 🙂 So I made these gingerbread cookies a while ago and my office friends liked them so much one of them even had at least 10 of them 🙂 Hope you’ll like them too!

Healthy Cookie Dough (Vegan)
Ah! Cookie dough. Definitely my favorite flavor at Ben & Jerry’s. And is there anything better than eating cookie dough while scooping it to make cookies ? Ok, maybe there is. Bagel with PB for the win 🤞. Thank goodness, I made a healthier version the other day. Guilt free! There is chickpeas and coconut flour (I see you reading this with a disgusted look, but trust me, trust the process and just blend everything up for the magic to happen. You won’t taste the chickpeas, they’re just there to bring texture to the whole thing).
Healthier No-Fat Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls gotta be one of my favorite recipes of all – I used to love visiting my local cinnabun from time to time. They’re also super easy to make at home – I have made a recipe a few days ago and you can check it out. I have also been working on a healthier version, and I think this quite sealed the deal. I drizzled a little bit of icing sugar mixed with 1 tbsp of milk and butter on top but you can instead use any healthier option such as honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup 🙂
