  • Having the best 29th #birthday ever surrounded by awesome family,friends & colleagues! Thanks everyone, for your lovely wishes and all the birthday cake & pie x Nothing’s really changed, except now my bed time is at 11pm, I can’t take more than 2 drinks, I’m married to my best friend @francisco_caal and now am officially possibly as fit as I was in high school 😁 If there’s anything you’d like to wish for me, it’s a life of balance - health, wellness, good food & #slowtravel. #OmNomNirvana P.S. Been wanting to try #Koreanfood in Dubai ever since I heard the @fryingpanadventures’ podcast on @hyurestaurant. The hype is real, folks! 🎈 . . . . #birthdaygirl #StJordi #shakespearesbirthday #PCOSjourney #Hashimotosjourney #PCOSwarrior #hashimotoswarrior #April23 #happybirthdaytome
  • What’s for lunch? Mom and bro came over for the weekend, so I whipped up a #delicious shrimp scampi from @my_foodstory’s great recipes ♥️ Her sticky Thai meatballs recipe gives me life and I’ve officially tweaked it to make it work for my body’s nutritional needs! Any other #foodbloggers you know and love who make great home cooked recipes? I love @shabosphere’s detail oriented recipes on her stories and have also been itching to try @passmethedimsum’s tahini brownies recipe. @tableforfivedubai @riotofflavours @thoughtsoverchai @hungryoungwoman & @goyajournal are resources I turn to as well to look for inspiration. What are yours? . . . . . #strongertogether #womensupportingwomen #foodies #homecooks #cookathome #whatsforlunch #healthymeals #healthyrecipes #healthyeating #whatsforlunch #lunchideas #healthymealprep #mealprep #onmytable #healthyeating #healthylifestyle #balance #omnomnirvana #eatrealfood #foodshare

  • What do you do when you forgot to #mealprep? Order in a meal that offers you #balance. @catfishdxb ‘s bowls are #delish, with various levels of spice and unique West African flavors. It tickles your palate, will give you an interesting insight into this type of food if you haven’t tried it before and is healthier than most bowls out there. This one has jollof quinoa, kale salad, peppers & onions, guac,grilled plantains & delicious jerk mushrooms. Overall from a nutritional perspective, this is slightly high in carbs for me, but I just dialed down on eating the quinoa. @gbemigiwa , I can’t wait to see your new restaurant, Catfish gets a double thumbs up for me! Catfish offers you food that’s #glutenfree & #vegan so it’s a great option for lunch as it’s easily digestible and won’t give you that “afternoon slump”! The food is also #organic when possible. #notsponsored because I support, love and want to encourage this amazing entrepreneur & her efforts towards bringing West African food to Dubai. You should too. . . . . . #supportlocalbusinesses #womensupportingwomen #womenofcolor #healthyorders #healthyeating #eatingright #soulfood #africanfood #jollof #orderin #lunchbox #girlpower #foodisfuel #allthatfiber #Dubaieats
  • I FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE #HEALTHY #BANANABREAD! Guys, this #glutenfree #dairyfree oats banana bread gives me liiiiiife! Makes a great #breakfast, but occasionally only please, and mind your portions. 1 slice is enough, even though it’s horrifically tempting to have more. 🙋🏻‍♀️ This bread comes out nice and moist & refrigerates/ freezes well too, so it lasts long. It is a bit denser than a regular banana bread, but still delicious. It’s extremely versatile too, so feel free to add a dollop of peanut butter / chocolate chips, but you will be consuming more calories & fat this way, so plan accordingly. Only 3 tbsp of maple syrup used in this, but if you prefer it unsweetened, go ahead and skip it. #Nooil used in this recipe, except to grease the pan lightly so the bread doesn’t stick to your loaf pan. Let me know what you think if you try it!
  • Days like these call for comfort food. #Lentilfree & rice-free #oats khichdi for the soul to warm you up & cuddle you. Paired with a lemony coriander mint chutney. #Nom Thanks everyone, for sharing your suggestions, I’ll work on them & share them with you as soon as possible! Easy #mealprep was something that was suggested the most out of my poll, so I will work on that from now on, besides other travel content. This easy to make oats khichdi #recipe will be out soon in an exciting #collab! Stay tuned! . . . . . #foodblogger #easylunch #foodforthesoul #oatsrecipes #onmytable #lunchideas #healthylunch #lunchbox #lunchboxideas #lunchtime #glutenfree #dairyfree #vegan #healthyeating #healthymeals #onmytable #homecooks #Dubaibloggers #Dubaifood #Dubaifoodblog #healthyrecipe
