Hello! It’s been rather quiet around here, hasn’t it? Well, as you may already know it’s magazine season for me, so things are getting busy with all the cooking and photo shoots. There will definitely be more posts to come during the next few weeks. I have a few guest posts and interviews lined up for the next two weeks and after that a special video! And then soon after that, the magazine will be out. I’m really excited about this issue because it’s a little different from my previous issues and I’ve got an amazing set of guest contributors. Can’t wait to tell you all about it! But for now, I’m going to keep my lips sealed.

In the meanwhile, I’m leaving you with a recipe card for shrimp and rice made with Indian flavours.

You know those days when you have no idea what to make for lunch or dinner because you don’t have enough ingredients at home? Like the day before you end up going to the grocery store? Well, today was one of those days for me. I was planning on heading out to the market, but the weather had other plans. So, there I was staring at my pantry and wondering what I could do with a few cans of tuna and a head of lettuce in the fridge. And then it dawned upon me – tuna cakes! Mini tuna cakes to be precise…since they are definitely cuter! Read on for the recipe and see what Connie from the Beauty Nerd has to say about this dish.

Grilled chicken wrap with lemon-garlic sauce

Happy Monday! I know, Mondays aren’t usually “happy”, but there are always way to make them better. Eating something you’ve been craving is definitely one of them!

I’ve been craving shawarmas for a while now, but I don’t have all the ingredients nor a meat spit to make an authentic one at home. But you know that doesn’t stop me! Why bother getting takeout, when you can make something at home quicker? This grilled chicken wrap is inspired by the Middle Eastern shawarma and frankly – it tastes pretty darn good. It’s got a nice kick from the fresh garlic and chilli and the lemon zest adds unbelievable freshness.  Plus it’s a heart-healthy dish for those of you who are trying to stick to your new year’s resolutions!
