A traditional schnitzel is usually made with veal or pork, but I prefer a chicken schnitzel. Schnitzel is a quintessential German dish, made of meat that is pounded thinly, dipped in flour, beaten eggs, bread crumbs, and then deep-fried. It is an absolute delicious dish to eat, but it’s not the most figure friendly. Since, I like to enjoy a delectable plate of schnitzel without feeling like a baby elephant afterwards, I lightened up the recipe. I replaced the flour with cornstarch, the bread ...

Lemon Garlic Spaghetti Squash
Happy New Year friends! Holiday season has come to an end and so has the season of indulgence. It’s time for a detox and to rejuvenate ourselves, so we can feel our best in this new year. For the month of January, the recipes I will be posting will focus more on healthy balanced eating. The recipes will still be scrumptious because healthy eating doesn’t equate to eating grilled chicken and steamed veggies everyday (Boring!). My first recipe post for this year is a delish lemon garlic spaghetti ...
Rustic French style apple tart (Galette)
Fall has officially begun and so has apple season. I don’t particularly love eating apples on their own because of all the chewing that is needed. I do, however, love baking with apples. My all-time favorite dessert to make during apple season is a Rustic French style apple tart. I love apple tarts so much that when I was in the process of designing my website’s logo, I was adamant that it be a part of the design. Yes, my love for this delightful dessert is that deep! Anyone who knows ...
Smashed beans on toast with poached egg
Does anyone feel like the whole trend of avocado toast is a little overdone? No? Okay great neither do I, but let’s be real here for a second it’s getting a little ridiculous. I recently came across an article on the web called “Millionaire to Millennials: Stop Buying Avocado Toast If You Want to Buy a Home”. In this article, an Australian businessman basically states that millennials can't afford to purchase a home because our money is being wasted on $20 avocado toast. I think the man is ...
Quick 10-Minute Lemon Cauliflower rice
I am eternally grateful to the person who came up with the brilliant idea for cauliflower rice. I don't have what you call the skinny gene, so literally, I have to be watchful of everything I eat. If I am not, it's very easy for me to start expanding. Thank you for the genetics Mom and Dad. I still love you! That being said, I can't really afford to be eating rice all the time, even though I would love to. The other thing is my husband despises rice. He is an anomaly. He doesn't like ...
Za’atar chicken skewers with spicy tahini sauce
I live by simple rules in life, one of them is that weeknight meals should be hassle free and delicious. I love cooking, but I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen especially on weeknights. If I am home alone then I usually don’t even bother cooking, I simply just eat leftovers. But when the husband is home I stick to making simple, nutritious and flavor packed meals. One of the husband’s favorite proteins to consume is chicken (especially chicken thighs), he could eat chicken every single ...
