Baklava Cheesecake

What is a Baklava Cheesecake? Hello! How are you? How have you been! I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen and came up with a marriage of divine flavors – baklava cheesecake. Baklava is Middle Eastern dessert made with phyllo dough, crushed nuts like pistachios, and a honey syrup. It’s comprised of crispy, flaky, buttery layers…

Almond Cashew Chocolate Granola

Making Homemade Granola Hello and welcome back! Let’s dive right into all things granola. I love granola. Maybe it’s because I live in the Pacific Northwest, a place known for granola-eating, tree-hugging hippies (guilty as charged). Or maybe it’s because ever since I was little, my mom would instill a need for “crunch” in every…

Chocolate Hazelnut Blondies

Blondies versus Brownies Hello there! Okay, let’s start off with a debate today: the age-old division of blondies versus brownies. Here in the U.S., brownies are super common. Their chocolatey, rich, fudgy flavor and texture slay the dessert game. You can add an assortment of mix-ins to brownie batter including chopped nuts, marshmallows and chocolate…

It’s the third and final day of Eid! 🌙 It’s been weird readjusting to eating during the daytime after Ramadan 😅 And just like the past few years, I underestimated how much I’ll miss Ramadan once it’s over. ❤️ Ramadan is nearly over! 😭 Can you believe it!? 🥺 Last weekend I made a Middle Eastern classic to bring to my in-law’s home. Except it had a slight twist since both my father-in-law and myself don’t do great with dairy. 😅 Say hello to VEGAN KNAFEH! 👋🏽 I “knead” more bread in my life! 🍞🤪 “Hoppy” Easter 🐣🐰 It’s snowing outside today - in mid-April! ❄️ What in the world is going on!? I’m excited though because I’m 100% here for any excuse to cozy up with a warm blanket, a good book and some yummy toast. 🍞 My hubbie and I went to Disney World for our honeymoon last year, since international travel was still dicey with covid. Now we get to go back to Disney World this winter to celebrate my Dad’s hard-earned, long-awaited retirement! I can’t wait to watch my Dad laugh and run around like a joyful kid to all ride all the rides and eat all the churros 🥲🥰 These oat and peanut butter energy bites are my new favorite snack!! No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie!! 🥧 The weather is playing tug-of-war between sunny & almost warm and then dark, rainy and freezing. But it’s okay, because Spring is nearly here! And on colder days, I still enjoy the weather with a cozy meal like these super simple poached pears with yogurt.

about me

Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet, where I share recipes, kitchen experiments and travel experiences.

I am on a journey of learning how to sufficiently feed myself to avoid ending up in the emergency room (…again).

I’ve come a long way from eating disorders and obsessing about what went into my body. Now I focus on what nourishes my body and soul – sometimes that means a kale smoothie and sometimes that means a chocolate peanut butter pie milkshake.

I hope you enjoy reading! <3
