I know many of you see me cooking my usual staples

I know many of you see me cooking my usual staples like veggies, while grains and lots of plant based foods. However, I do believe that all foods fit in moderation and I love trying new foods ! We did our own food tour in our own city this past weekend and it was FUN ! I’m posting this for the fun of it !
My hubby googled all the places before and we used reviews as our guide. For the most part, it was accurate. Here are our personal reviews based on taste only !

Momo corner: 8/10 ( I think we should have ordered differently)
Blackbird Baking co : 8.5/10 ( though not a fan of croissants anyhow)
Ton of juice: 9/10 ( I love the combo we ordered-apple, pineapple, ginger -this was recommended by the employee)
Quetzal : 9.8/10 This was incredible!! It has a well deserved Michelin star! They change your plate after each food item that is ordered.
1 Kitchen: 9/10 I just love the atmosphere with all the plants ! The food is excellent too !

Happy new year ! Hope you are enjoying time with loved ones ❤️.
Here’s a recap of 2023 in 14 seconds. This year, I did some of my favourite things : spent time with my family, some great travel, some of the most incredible snorkeling ( one of our best moments -swimming with sharks in the open ocean !), and cooked up a storm of healthy, delicious meals 😁.
I wish you all love and peace ☮️ and may the world have a peaceful 2024.

Cheers to 2024!

Thank you for following along and being here ! I hope I’ve inspired some of you in your healthy eating and healthy lifestyle journey !

Here are some work lunch ideas ! I know many of us

Here are some work lunch ideas ! I know many of us struggle with work lunches. My tip is to try and base your dinners around what you can bring to work the next day. For example, if you are making a batch of chickpea pasta, you can save a portion to mage a cold pasta salad if you out don’t have access to a microwave at work. Or, you can just simply cook enough to take leftovers ! If you are cooking rice, you can add ingredients to turn it into a deconstructed sushi bowl. A little bit of pre planning goes along long way 😁. Most importantly, take time for lunch to avoid getting to the point of extreme hunger! #worklunch #lunchideas #easylunches #lunchtime #healthylunch #lunchbreak #lunchboxideas #eatlunch #eatbetternotless #dietitianapproved #weightlossjourney #healthyeats #healthylunchideas #healthymealideas

I created this kohlrabi salad because it’s a great veggie that in my opinion, is under used ! Kohlrabi is very high in vitamin C, a great source of fiber and anthocyanins, isothiocyanates, and glucosinolates.

Kohlrabi Matchstick and Salmon Poke Salad (serves 5)

Ingredients:
* 2 medium-large kohlrabi bulbs ( about 5” diameter), peeled and cut into matchsticks
* 2 carrots peeled and cut into matchsticks
* 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
* 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
* 1/4 cup cashews, chopped
* Juice of 2 limes
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1.5 tbsp honey
* 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
* 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper to taste
* 1 lb of sushi grade salmon, cut in 1/2”cubes ( or you can use pre-seasoned DOM salmon; if using pre-seasoned, then skip following step for sushi marinade)

For 1 lb of sushi grade salmon, combine the following marinade with the sushi.
* 2 Tbsp soy sauce
* 1.5 Tbsp rice vinegar
* 1.5 Tbsp sesame oil

Instructions:
* Start by preparing the kohlrabi and carrot. Peel them and then cut them into matchsticks using a mandolin slicer or food processor. ( I use a food processor for speed)
* In a large mixing bowl, combine the kohlrabi matchsticks, carrot matchsticks, and thinly sliced red onion.
* In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
* Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl and toss to coat them evenly.
* Add the seasoned salmon poke cubes to the salad
* Add the chopped cilantro to the salad and toss again to distribute the cilantro throughout.
* Finally, sprinkle the chopped cashews on top
* Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed with more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
* Serve immediately and enjoy !

This is a spin on my summer harvest salad 🥗, but with protein added and a delicious pesto sauce !

First make the pesto :
Blend the following h ingredients in a food processor or mini chopper.
-1/3 cup sunflower seeds, lightly toasted
