Eat everything, Lose Weight!

in Healthy-ish on 05/15/15

I first came across hungry girl around ten years ago. I was in college and beginning to acquire a taste for daily 1 pm McChickens. I wasn’t happy with my food choices but couldn’t really do much about it when all that was easily accessible was greasy, delicious, crunchy, heavenly…erm I mean terribly bad for you  fast food. It was… View Post

On birthdays and finger food…

in Special Occasions, Twin Mommying, Uncategorized on 12/12/14

My twinlets turned two last week! Time sure does fly (although I can’t really say that about the first year). We had a small family birthday party in the afternoon, so I decided to go for an appetizer theme; food people could eat while dodging rogue helium balloons and excited toddlers. Two weeks prior I’d eagerly gone through my Pinterest… View Post

Quick and Easy Coconut Chicken Curry

in Lunch, Dinner, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free on 04/18/14

This is so not an authentic curry recipe. In fact, I’m a little embarrassed to be calling it curry so freely. It has nothing to do whatsoever with what real curry is like. I do not use tomato sauce, garam masala, or curry paste from an Indian store. However, it does have curry powder in it (and not the real… View Post

Simple Pizza Dough

in Lunch, Dinner, Dairy-Free, Budget-Friendly, Uncategorized on 08/14/13

Pizza dough recipe. The holy grail of every food blog that ever existed. I’ve been putting off posting a recipe for pizza dough for three years. Why? Because I have been a victim of bad pizza dough recipes on more than one occasion. After faithfully following a recipe I’d end up with soft but too sticky or smooth but too… View Post

Did know that moralizing food can negatively affec Did know that moralizing food can negatively affect your health and well-being? When we label foods as "good" or "bad," it can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety around food. This can make it very hard to make healthier choices; exactly the opposite of what we were aiming for! 

Instead, focusing on the overall quality of our diet, practicing mindful eating, and being kind to ourselves have a much better chance of changing our mindset to a healthier and more positive one around food and eating.

My favorite part of Ramadan iftars is the boatload My favorite part of Ramadan iftars is the boatload of appetizers, and my very favorite is kibbeh/kobeiba. These cup-shaped ones are a healthier and easier take on the deep fried version that I still can’t learn to shape to this day.

2️⃣Add a teaspoon of molasses and a small pinch of seasonings (nutmeg less than 1/4 teaspoon- that’s a tiny dash). Adjust until it’s to your taste. Set aside.
3️⃣Soak bulgur in water for 15 minutes. Squeeze excess water out and put in a food processor. Add the other half of the onion along with the rest of the raw beef with a pinch of salt and pepper. Process until mixture is smooth.

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🥩🥗

2 cup roasted, unsalted almonds
1/2 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts
1 cup cashews 
1 cup pistachios

1/2 cup cranberries 
1/2 cup goji berries 
1 dash of salt 
1 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
⁣

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.

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.

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.

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

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