I am completely obsessed with my air fryer. Since my husband decided during the early days of my pregnancy was a good time for him to go on a diet (I was not bitter at all đ) and super oily food during pregnancy wasn’t sitting well with the baby, the air fryer has been one of our favorite kitchen gadgets.

I saw a meme once that said something along the lines of, every girl’s dream is not to find the perfect man, it’s to eat whatever she wants without getting fat.
So. Much. Truth. Unfortunately, that requires going to the gym more than once a month and not eating all the things I love — bread, pasta, cheese, salt and vinegar chips, crispy chicken, etc. I know I’m not the only one struggling here! Although I do love pasta, there have been some pretty solid vegetable substitutes. I won’t lie to you and tell you zoodles or spaghetti squash taste anything like actual spaghetti. But it’ll do the job when you’re really trying to cut the carbs. Carbbsss … I’m still thinking about my Rosemary Green and Black Olive Bread. (more…)
It’s a little later than midsummer and my tan game has been going strong. Okay, it’s actually been fairly weak in comparison to past years, but with Ramadan falling smack-dab in the middle of summer it really put a dent in my tanning plans. Not to mention, it’s been pretty rainy overall. Not ideal for catching those much sought after rays. I still have another solid month before I declare summer officially over and I’m going to take full advantage with pool and beach time, and BBQs, of course. (more…)
It’s Ramadan and I’ve been beating the long days and boredom (especially on the weekends) by cooking. The first weekend, I may or may not have gone on a complete cooking spree and I just haven’t been able to stop myself since then. If you’re interested in seeing what I’m up to, follow along on my Instagram story. I’m always sharing photos and videos of my goodies. Currently, I’m waiting my Pink Pickled Turnips to set. Only about a week and a half or so left before they’re ready to be devoured. (more…)
Iâve wanted to make BBQ something for a while now. At first, I thought Iâd take a stab at BBQ Beef Ribs and invite the girls over. That didnât happen â mostly because weekday work schedules are largely unpredictable and when the weekend rolls around, Iâd much rather have someone else prepare food for me (RE: eat out).
A friend graciously invited our friend group over for a Super Bowl party, giving me the perfect excuse to try out BBQ Beef in the crockpot. I mean, sure, itâs the middle of winter, but BBQ and Super Bowl pretty much go hand-in-hand, kind of like Super Bowl and wings. I will admit, Iâm not a huge sports fan. However, any excuse for a social gathering that involves food and shisha, you can count me in. (more…)
I’ve been on a short hiatus from blogging. Not intentionally. Every once in a while I get caught up with other things in my lifeânamely, my day job, and other life events.
For those who follow me on Instagram and Snapchat, you know I’ve been busy on travel to Turkey and counting down to my birthday! Another year older and hopefully a little bit wiser. (more…)
