Eating salad doesn’t have to be synonymous with

Eating salad doesn’t have to be synonymous with dieting.

The joy of a fresh, colorful bowl of vegetables is often defined by the feeling of being ‘good’ for choosing the salad instead of the steak. When in fact, sometimes we actually want the salad but the restrictive nature of dieting has made us feel like we could always be having something better instead.

Next time you’re eating dinner out, consider having the steak AND the salad and enjoy both for what they are; foods that simply satisfy our appetites and health in different ways🥩🥗

Mawled El Nabawi has always been synonymous with a

Mawled El Nabawi has always been synonymous with an amazing array of sweet nut bars. And although I love the real thing, this healthier version is equally as delicious and we get to have it year round.
⁣
I’ve got to admit though that it’s a bit of a fiddly recipe. It took several attempts to get it right, so save it for a rainy afternoon when you’re in an experimental mood😃
⁣
⭐️Kind Nut Bars⭐️
2 cup roasted, unsalted almonds
1/2 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts
1 cup cashews
1 cup pistachios
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup goji berries
1 dash of salt
1 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
⁣
⭐️Directions⭐️
1️⃣Give everything except the maple syrup a whiz in the food processor to get the nuts into a rough chop (don’t pulverize them).
2️⃣Put into a stainless steel bowl and prepare a baking pan by lining it with lightly greased parchment paper.
3️⃣Boil maple syrup until it reaches 148 c on a candy thermometer.
4️⃣Immediately mix hot syrup and nut mixture and press into pan until packed very well.
5️⃣Let it cool down until it’s hard but still pliable then carefully lift out and cut into bars with a sharp knife.

If you often feel like eating salad is a chore syn

If you often feel like eating salad is a chore synonymous with diets and restriction, you’re not alone.

The labels we slap on different foods can affect our eating choices. This food is “good”, that one is “bad”. I “should” order the salad even though I “want” to have the pasta.

If we start enjoying each food for what it is and how it benefits us physically, socially, and psychologically regardless of its status on the food hierarchy of good/bad; that’s when it becomes easier to eat more intuitively and perhaps go for the salad BECAUSE it’s a salad, and not because it’s the “right” thing to eat.

A lovely breakfast to make use of those end-of-sea

A lovely breakfast to make use of those end-of-season summer grapes that are too soft to enjoy fresh but perfect for roasting and topping a dollop of creamy labneh on a piece of crunchy toast. Add a few sprigs of thyme and a smattering of crunchy almonds to make it into a fancy treat.

⭐️ Roasted Grapes & Labneh Toast⭐️
2 cups of fresh grapes
4 tablespoons of labneh (or ricotta cheese)
1 tablespoon of honey
Olive oil
A few sprigs of thyme, fresh (or dried)
4 raw almonds, toasted and sliced

⭐️Directions⭐️
1️⃣ Spread grapes and a few springs of thyme on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast in a 180 c degree oven for 45 minutes.
2️⃣ Check on grapes every 15 minutes and remove from the oven as soon as they look soft and crinkly. Make sure they don’t turn burn and discard thyme. Refrigerate until a juicy syrup forms at the bottom of the container.
3️⃣ Add honey to labneh or ricotta and mix with a fork until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Spread cheese on toast and top with roasted grapes. Drizzle with a little of the grape syrup and garnish with more thyme and sliced almonds.

Our relationship with food is becoming increasingl

Our relationship with food is becoming increasingly complicated.

Food has been called medicine, toxic, life-changing, fear-inducing, and many other “big” adjectives.

Poor food. All it wants is to be filling, satisfying, and taste good. It never asked to take on such a huge responsibility all on its very own.

Life and health are so much more than food. Food is a big part- NO doubt about it. But there are many, many other aspects to living the best life we want.

But if we have to talk about food, then it’s the wholesome foursome of fruit, vegetables, some protein, whole-grains, and the occasional whatever-the -heck-you-want. That’s really it. No need for miracle foods or exotic ingredients (unless you enjoy and can afford them).

It’s our healthy attitudes, perceptions, and mindful behavior towards what we eat that matter in the big picture.

Happy Eid Al Adha to everyone celebrating today xx

Happy Eid Al Adha to everyone celebrating today xx I like to stick to tradition on days like this, but tried to lighten up this old-fashioned roast beef recipe to make it more digestible but every bit as comforting.

⭐️Healthy-ish Old-Fashioned Roast Beef⭐️

1.5 kilos lean roast (a little bit of fat is important for juiciness)
Red onions, roughly chopped
Baby potatoes, washed and whole
Carrots, chopped into large pieces

Marinade:
Salt
Pepper
Heart-healthy fat
Several cloves of garlic, sliced
Drizzle of honey
Fresh rosemary
Fresh thyme (optional)
Squeeze of lime
Your favorite beef-friendly dried spices (optional)

⭐️Recipe⭐️
1️⃣Marinade
2️⃣Heat a drizzle of fat in a large cast iron or thick bottomed stainless steel post.
3️⃣Sear/brown all roast sides for 1.5 minutes each on high heat.
4️⃣Decrease heat to a medium low and add 1/2-1 cup of water to the pot and cover.
5️⃣Check on the beef every half hour and add water as needed (not too much at once).
6️⃣After an hour add in veggies.
7️⃣Keep covered until it’s so tender you can stick a knife in and it easily goes through.
5️⃣Remove from heat and let rest for ten minutes. Then enjoy with your loved ones and don’t forget to keep those leftovers;)

Some people’s version of “healthy” is to work out five days a week and eat 150 grams of protein a day. 🥩 🏋️‍♂️

Many people feel great when they cut down on certain foods. 🍞

Lots of us enjoy a pizza and movie night with friends after a long week. 🍕

Some of us need daily midday naps to feel our best. 😴

Some never go to the gym and prefer to go for walks. 🚶‍♀️

And others love a bite of chocolate after a lunch of salad. 🥗 🍫

⭐️ Yes, as long as we live, it’s natural to try and eat better, move more, and stress less. But human beings are different in everything, so why not create our own versions of health?

⁉️ So what’s your “healthy”? Tell me in the comments xx

Restricting foods for non-medical reasons is usual

Restricting foods for non-medical reasons is usually a recipe for frustration and can lead to disordered eating behavior.

⁉️Instead of restricting foods and ingredients, have you tried eating more of the “good stuff”- foods that make you feel good inside and out? How did it make you feel?

Enjoy your kahk كحك- making it, decorating it, giving it to family and friends, and eating a few with a deeply-missed hot morning drink☕️🍪

If joy had a flavor then that would be kahk. Kahk is more than just a food, it’s memories with loved ones and sprinkled sugar all over the house. It’s sticky little hands holding their first عيدية gift and the wonderful-ness of watching them experiencing this happy day for the first time.

It’s more than okay to eat for joy. Salad will always be there, and a couple of cookies with family can be soul food for our well-being.

كل سنة و انتوا طيبين و مستمتعين بكل

Can we stop celebrating “will-power”? How ma

Can we stop celebrating “will-power”?

How many times have you been told that you’re unable to change your eating habits because you don’t have enough “will-power”?

That it was your fault for not “controlling” yourself around food?

Well, they were WRONG.

Because our relationship with food is far too complex than that, and will-power is a FINITE resource.

You know how you start a diet, stick to it perfectly for a while, then quit? That doesn’t mean you failed, it just means that you’ve run out of that resource called self-control. And yes, it was INEVITABLE. That’s why it happens to almost EVERYONE who’s ever gone on a diet.

So relying on will-power alone to change habits just.doesn’t.work!

You know what does?

What works is:
✅ Finding your why
✅ Finding your will
✅ Self-love

Your WHY will get you started, and your WILL can keep you motivated through the ups, downs, and everything in between.

Self-love helps make the journey as gentle, pleasurable and durable as you need to reach your goals❤️
